          For a regular game? Yes, it is. For a VR title? It will keep you entertained for plenty of hours.

            Interesting. I really wanna play it but I’m not sure I want to invest in VR just yet

              Totally understand that. I have the Index, and while I love it, there’s definitely room to grow.

              Woot has an HTC vive pro focus headset for $200 until Nov 30th or sellout. I don’t know much about that particular unit, but it’s inexpensive and be a known name.

              Don’t buy the vive focus. Not a great unit.

              I have the HP reverb g2 I bought new for $329 and an happy with it. Deals can be found.

                Thanks. I keep saying I’ll wait just a bit longer. I just upgraded my PC in other ways so maybe in a couple months I’ll follow through!

      I never understood why folks are so obsessed over sequels. if a games good or a movie or whatever. it can just stand as being good. same if its the second one or whatever. Why does there even need to be another unless the artists have something to bring.

        There, specifically, they ended on a cliffhanger and never delivered an awaited Episode Three, not a game, but an addon like Ep 1 and Ep 2, to put a satisfying end to HL2’s plot. I’m not sure if they promised it, but to know how blue balled the public was, you can only visit the end of Ep 2 yourself. Half Life 2 is one of my all-time favs, but I hate that non-ending.

          You’ve probably heard this before, but you need to play Alyx. And that’s all I can say about plot lines.

        I mostly agree with you.

        I think there are a crowd of people who think that devs and writers can easily recapture the magic of the series and expand upon it in meaningful ways at will.

        Then I think there are people who just love a game so much they want more of the same style content with few or no changes.

        As an example, I really love The Outer Wilds, but you can only play it once since it hinges on you solving a bunch of interconnected puzzles which lead to an answer that was there all along. In other words, once you know, you can beat the game in about 7 minutes or so.

        I would pretty much do anything for more of the same game. In fact, they could just keep making DLC for outer wilds with new planets and I’d play every release immediately.

        Anyway, no complaints from me. The base game and the one DLC they released are literally flawless. I have the memories and warm feelings.

          Also it’s Valve. People choose the projects they work on and are free to start their own projects.

          I’d be a little surprised if there weren’t several earnest attempts to make 3.

        Because the end of hl2 and the ‘episodes’ hurt us. I didn’t get over it until code Geass hurt me more with the I am zero scene, and then I suffered for 8 months or so only to be subjected to that damned reboot fake out. I haven’t played hl alyx in fear of it not bringing any closure and judging by how I haven’t seen any headlines suggesting that and people still wanting hl3, it’s probably safe to assume it doesn’t. I have largely moved on but if they ever do make hl3 and I’m not on my death bed I will probably marathon the series like I did with dark souls, including the duplicate ds1 and ds2, my job be damned.
