Half-Life: Alyx is so densely filled with trinkets and goodies to idiot round with that it appears it was inevitable of us would cook dinner up some gags with the VR props. RPS have determined that it has a number of the most satisfying physics in PC games and that’s fairly clear while you see all of the shenanigans of us have been pulling off inside this sandbox masquerading as a linear game. Here’s what everybody’s been getting as much as in City 17.
Gaming the system
What good are physics, you ask? Well, numerous issues, clearly. Chief amongst them, bending the principles. You can carry two gadgets on the again of Alyx’s gloves, which is generally helpful for carrying well being syringes. Likely Valve didn’t need gamers stockpiling well being and different gadgets so it’s a useful (har) option to implement a little bit of shortage. Well marbles to that, says this participant. I’ll make my very own stock.
Playing avenue hoops with Russel
As an expanded model of the cheater’s stock, right here’s one other participant nagging Russel for extra ammo. Talk about hoarding, sheesh. Where was Russel maintaining all these clips? Can’t shake the sensation that I’ve seen this earlier than although. There’s another person that tosses infinite clips to their associate.
Russel, I’m out from HalfLife
Being absolute genius cowards
This one is my favourite. I’m cackling over it, really. This is the form of factor I’d be doing in a horror game. I relate to this coward on a deep stage and have the utmost respect for them. The cautious little “stay put” movement they provide to the door and the whole lot. It’s lovely.
Trying to recreate Valve’s tweet
Valve flexed their VR abilities in a Tweet the day earlier than Alyx got here out. Of course gamers wished to see if they might replicate this trick shot. Many tried. Many failed. This specific participant saved at it, reaching an almost good defenestration.
Tried recreating the Headcrab Chair Serve clip… Took me 20 minutes. from HalfLife
Playing that Portal track
This received’t be the final we see of this piano, nor was it the primary. As far as taking part in a digital piano inside a Half-Life game although, I couldn’t presumably plug something apart from Still Alive. How a lot follow should this have taken to get the texture for a way far aside the keys are? You can see they’re simply pecking on the keys with index (har) fingers however that’s nonetheless spectacular in my guide.
Refusing to look out the window
This very decided participant discovered a little bit of dialogue that many might not have on their first run via. I imply when Russel says “look out the window,” don’t you wish to know what’s on the market? Don’t you wish to see City 17? Not this individual. No siree.
This isn’t even all that folk have been as much as by far. One individual demonstrated some completely unbelievable juggling tricks. An teacher gave a maths lesson with the dry erase markers everybody’s been taking part in round with. Vidbud Matthew had a moment with a bread roll.
If you’ve been making an attempt your arms within the new VR shooter, what silliness have you ever achieved?
