- Thread starter MRORANGE
- Start date
We made it everyone! WE FREAKING MADE IT!!!!!! A brand new half life game, we are doing this! Have fun everybody!
It would be pretty cheeky of Valve to do that when most other games are family share.
Enjoy dude. Still an hour till I am home and then i have to unpack :(Oh my fuck!
Good luck and have fun everyone!!
The review OT is already up, but in addition, I prepared a hardware-specific piece for Ars Technica:

Seriously. I'm considering just redownloading it. It's on my SSD and still very very slow.

Does it come out at midnight PST
It's compressed AND encrypted. I deleted my preload and just downloaded it. If your internet is over 300 Mbps, preload is not for you.

I'm watching a livestream where the streamer did just that, and it didn't help at all. It will still unpack after a fresh download.This is so frustrating to the point where I"m tempted to just delete and redownload it.
Yep. I couldn't get "noclip" to work in the console in a way that let me walk up and look at his face, sadly. I'm sure that'll be uncovered by the community soon enough.
Unrelated, this is a mild, early-game spoiler about something familiar to anyone who played the older games:
yes, the garden gnome is back, and no, you can't put it in your backpack or inventory slots
Well I guess I am stuck waiting another 30 minutes then. I even tried deleting a few games off my SSD to make some space.
Just missed out on pre ordering for the 10% off. Grg.
I'm not sure I should go ahead buying it anyway. I dont have much space in my PC room and seems this game relies on having much space?
I struggle with some VR games like rick and morty as it is.

30 minutes is better than others. Cohh keeps deleting and redownloading and it's telling him a couple of hours minimum.
1xSata SSD, 1xNVMe SSD, 2xSata HDD. 360mbps internet. Guess I shouldn't have preloaded.
played the opening. Holy shit. ive played a bunch of vr games. there is nothing even close to this.
2060, 9700K, nvme, 16gm ram. Defaulted me to medium setting. seems to run good and looks incredible. just the detail in the environments is staggering.
using a rift s. definetly recommend you plug some headphones in. the headset sound is horrible.
The default movement was teleport which i am using. Seems ok. Not sure i even want to test the other styles. i get motion sick very easily.

physics calculations at that scale would likely be impossible on the quest's mobile processor
I'd love for it to happen, same for blade and sorcery :(
