I have a Samsung Odyssey Plus, but that's not included in the poll. Yes Half-Life: Alyx pushed me over the edge. VR is way better than I anticipated. Will probably grab an Index if they come down in price in the future.

I almost bought PSVR before the Alyx reveal. Glad I didn't. Hear its a bit shit.

It's already caused a change. People who were previously uninterested in VR are now shopping for headsets and such.

Curious what they list as the recommended specs in the future. I built a new PC just 2 weeks ago before I even knew about this. Hope it holds up.

I have mixed feelings about this one.

Yeah, it looks great. Yeah, Half-Life is back. Yeah, I really want to explore the H-L universe more.

But I still won't purchase a VR system for this. I'll borrow it from my job and check out the game.

Also... I somewhat congratulate Valve for making a massive leap of faith as they did with Steam back in 2004, and it paid off.

Gabe believed in digital distribution, and the risk was justified. He also believes in VR almost as much.

I just hope this doesn't flop as Steam Machines did because we surely won't be seeing H-L 3 in that case.

I believe this to be true. In the interview with that Geoff dude they make it sound like the future of HL is dependent on how well this game does. They clearly have no interest in making a mouse and keyboard Half-Life again.

Yea. Kind of bought one today after I watched the trailer several times. Though, to be fair, I was already looking at VR because of Beat Saber, Boneworks, etc. This just pushed me over the edge.

Past few months have been bonkers for Switch owners. SMM2, FE3H, and now Astral Chain. Keep it going.

Nothing. If Astral Chain reviews well I might grab that this month. I'm going through the backlog.

I'd say to play it safe for the first game. Either Botw, Odyssey, MK8, or Smash Ultimate.

Spider-Man PS4 bundle for $199 and God of War PS4 for $17. That's probably gonna be it.
