Anyone played Stalker 2 since the big patch release last week? it was supposed to sort out most of the issues the game had, i tried it briefly last night, but still seemed to be getting big FPS drops for no reason.

Does it stop you getting killed every 30 seconds? Mine had that bug.

I'm debating on getting back into Deathloop. I got quite close to the end but somehow ended up not finishing it and with it being a bloody puzzle game with sequences, I could end up repeating myself 100 times just to refresh myself ha ha ha.

I've also been playing Wreckfest again because It got mentioned with the release of the early access WF2. I love this game more than I should, I adored Destruction Derby 1, 2 and Raw. Now, if nobody played Raw, it brought money into it and you'd have to pay to repair the car, I liked the concept, I just think the love of the franchise had been lost at the time. Wreckfest could certainly impalement it, I mean f**k me, once you complete the campionships what do you actually earn money for, you can buy most cars quite quickly. Rather than make it super easy to buy them all and upgrade them, make it so you have to pay to repair them.

There's no game I want to try more than that, is it a genuine decent VR experience? Never actually tried it before, but love love love Half-Life... one of the greatest of all time for sure.

Looking at picking up another Xbox as the boy seems to have commandeered mine.

Is there much real life difference between the versions for an occasional gamer?

Mostly play racing games or just started on Day Z.

it’s a very different game to half-life, because you don’t have any armour and it’s absolutely not a run and gun game. It’s more logical puzzling with some shooting action.

Where it is exactly the same as half life, is in the atmosphere and the general quality and polish of the game.

I’m finding it extremely immersive and a huge amount of fun. It’s the usual movement through teleportation thing you get with a lot of VR games, one stick to teleport and the other to turn in small increments for viewing. Obviously you can still turn your head but that only goes so far.

Honestly, I think it’s just brilliant. It adds a whole new dimension (no pun intended) to the gaming experience, it feels claustrophobic and intense.

Yes, I didn't think there would be so ignored everyone on here and went for the Series S, and 18 months later bought a Series X.

Performance wise I see a massive difference and even if you don't the increased hard drive size is worth it.

I've nearly pulled the trigger on PSVR so many times, but then it doesn't have Alyx... I think if it came out on PlayStation I'd have to do it. I used to be well into PC gaming but haven't for years now, so I'd be starting from the beginning setup wise, I just don't think I'm ready to commit at the moment lol.

Squirrel with a gun is a tenner at the moment.

Reminds me of Goat simulator 3 that me and the boy put many hours into. Not sure if it will have the longevity but great to kill a few hours.

Finally dusted off the VR headset and started Half Life: Alyx today. Bloody brilliant, so atmospheric.
Spent nearly 5 minutes pissing about with the radio, right at the start. Had me thinking about if it took me that long to turn a dial and to pull an aerial up - how the hell would I be even able to move and shoot anything. ;)

Any game controls should not only be instinctive, but quickly become 2nd nature. My (admittedly, limited) experience of Alyx was frustrating and perhaps I should give it another go.

I get that completely, but I thought it was a decent way of doing a tutorial-but-not-a-tutorial thing once I was through it. It’s definitely not always intuitive but worth persevering with IMO.

Half Life 3 soon! Whoooooo!

Masterpiece mate. Obviously no spoiler but that ending, jesus wept!

It's genuinely the best VR game ever made :)
