I used to be gearing up for a second playthrough of Half-Life: Alyx this weekend. I actually needed to make use of the physics engine to have just a little enjoyable this time round, so I took a peek at some inspirational Let’s Plays to see what I may attempt. Then I uninstalled Alyx and put my headset away. I can’t even juggle in the true world, by no means thoughts doing it in VR whereas backflipping. So right here’s the movies that humbled me.
Warning! Here be spoilers.
Juggling and doing a backflip
I can’t say that I didn’t try and juggle the primary time round, however I did it so poorly that I gave up after a minute. ChrisQuitsReality has already been covered on RPS, however he’s launched an improved follow-up to that. I’m nonetheless too scared to do half these things, even with a pleasant quantity of area in my room, and he goes and does a backflip…
Using a barrel to corral headcrabs
This video by Bed Bananas is filled with issues. It begins off making you suppose he’s a gaming god, one way or the other managing to plow via a Combine assault like Neo and John Wick mixed right into a single human being (as if that’s attainable). But issues rapidly devolve into panicked chair swinging, inventive use of barrels, and a loving and caring relationship with a wholly alive accomplice.
Tossing keycards like Ricky Jay
I… I believe I can do a few of these? DefendTheHouse’s trick pictures are undoubtedly attainable. I don’t suppose I’ve the endurance to fastidiously arrange suitcase dominoes, however I can huck a keycard for certain.
And to suppose that my unique plan was to hold the gnome all via the game.
