Have played precisely zero exclusives released this year, so I’m gonna have to take your word for it. From what I have seen HL:A does look like the title most worthy of the GOTY-epitet.
I've been surprised and sad there hasn't been more discussion about it (e.g. the amazing level design in chapter 7 and the trippy ending), but it makes sense given the relatively small target audience.
I agree it has a few flaws/rough spots, but despite any of these it certainly feels greater than the sum of its parts and isn't like anything else I have experienced.
Also I should note the game feels very different in VR compared to what you see watching streams or videos of it.
Most who bought it seem to really like it. But yeah, the visual quality on most VR headsets is lacking and better ones like the Index are very expensive while still not being where they need to be in terms of quality. So, very few will experience the game altogether and even fewer with a quality VR headset. I understand that we need games like HL:A to increase VR adoption, but when the price and quality of the VR headsets are not where they need to be, it is still a tough sell.
the level design was gimped there only's acouple enemies on screen in this new half life more linear, plus you cant jumped gimped gameplay and you could basically achieve same shit with the gravity gun. This game just sucks.
@uninspiredcup: mmk, this isnt even a half life game anyway, you dont play as gordon freeman.
Blue Shift was just as awesome as Half-Life, and you played Barney in that one. Opposing Force was awesome as well, and you played a military goon in that one. So it's not exactly out of character of the series.
Real men play games like rise of the triad,blood,duke nukem 3d,doom,quake,shadow warrior the original games not the crappy games made by the fake developer.
