Nobody reading all that shit.

How fat is gabe?
Where is HL3?

campo

what can you do in half life that hasnt been talked about yet

open car doors, play a full working piano, pull strings on a harp, draw on a chalkboard, crush a soda can my squeezing the knuckles controller, play stealthy, idk its lot of shit

fat

ur mom

what are the gman scenes like? thank you kind stranger for doing this ama!

You're not one of those faggot sjw devs, are you?

also forgot to mention you can carry a headcrab through the whole game and theres an achievement for it

>play a full working piano
Hmm, that's something that was brought up in VNN's newest video.

Is there a post-game sandbox area like Boneworks?

Attached: 1.png (994x498, 842K)

nah I fuckin hate the bay area but like working on games. Thankfully a lot of people I know feel the same way or I'd strictly do remote work

nah, just mod portal which will have the same shit from steam home ported most likely

what’s up with l4d3?

>just mod portal
what do you mean?

did he mention you can take a headcrab to it and its arms will play a creepy michael myers esque song? or that you can smash it? No? Of course he didn't because he's a fuckin poseur who gets the dox of me and my coworkers and acts like a fuckin fag online while we talk shit about him behind his back

Do you have any to show that proves you're a more reliable source than him?

hangout space that has gun range and tv's and shit. You approach the tv's and choose mods or chapters to replay

One man cheeseburger apocalypse.

Boneworks sucks in comparison. It works well, you can hear footsteps if you go too fast which lets you know you're being too fkn loud and are gonna get popped by combine or hounds and shit. No click to sprint bullshit, just analog stick movement because clicking knuckles sticks sucks.

are there hl1 enemies? what are the g man scenes like?

houndeyes, vorts, headcrab, barnicle etc

they're trippy as fuck. one of em he's standing in front of you and you hear him close to your left ear and you turn around and he's gone. A lot of shit like seeing ten of him at once and just being a creep. def fav part of the game

A live headcrab?

we'll have to see tomorrow

yea

Since you're a Valve worker, does everyone fucking hate Tyler. Does his latest video saying about kleiner, barney, dog and breen are not in HL;A confirmed?

Is HL3 still being worked on?

So what comes next for Valve? This shit has been basically done for months hasn't it?

Is the game easy enough for dsp to beat?

idk about everyone but most people I know here hate his fuckin guts. They're referenced but Barney's somewhere in the game. D0g's in it too so idfk where he got that info, my friends could be trolling him lol

Did valve push for VR the strongest because Gabe is fat and wants gamers to be more active so they are less likely to be fat like him? can Gabe even play VR?

>can Gabe even play VR?
I wonder if he uses his glasses with the headset

Any news on Artifact 2.0?

Friendly reminder that HL2 & episodes are playable in VR via Garry's Mod

Attached: 1573711594839.webm (960x540, 2.94M)

I did play HL2, but everything was buggy and couldn't load the maps correctly. I follow every instruction, and it felt like a WIP, more than a playable experienced compared to the HL1, DOOM3 and QUAKE1 & 2 mods

I actually don't think he'll be able to make it 30 minutes in lol even in a computer chair on easy w/assist and shit

well yeah, the guy who made the GMOD VR mod even says on the page "Its a bit of a hacky mess, so expect there to be bugs, crashes and bad performance. It may not even work at all for some people. So don't buy VR or gmod just for this mod!"

HOUNDEYES ARE MY FAVORITE. Now I'm actually interested. I've been waiting for omni-directional treadmills to develop a bit more before getting into VR. Is valve working on anything like that? I'd buy the entire set right now if it went on sale.

how the fuck is the neogeox a prized thing, it's just an emulation box like so many other chink emulators and most importantly why did your gf feel like taking it from you

I hope you got a psp or something. prob the best portable emulators.

anyway tell me about gaben

Attached: giphy.gif (421x384, 2.07M)

Is there any WIP Valve games (vr or not) that will blow us away? You dont have to leak what it is, just confirm if there is anything in the works

treadmills fuckin suck for vr, dead serious. Feels like you're always slipping on the floor on your socks. Index is back in stock this week, obviously idk when since I'm so far removed from hardware team. Just got told whats up and this is press week on the whiteboards and shit. Its a lot of money but probably worth it since everything else I have on my desk here sucks ass in comparison

When? It's been constantly improved, especially the rendering with the 64-bit beta. However there are still bugs and the dev recommends using a gamemode like Lambda for smoother experience.

Will Valve Index price drop this year?

Is that you Jake Rodkin?

>dropping the price when they can't even remotely keep up with demand
Are you 12

Bitch took it because she needed something in her life to feel good about besides dick. you can hear his berks squeak when he walks lol

I know HL:A wasn't made to sell the game but VR in general. Since many wont be able to play VR due to prices and more recently the lack of stock due to coronavirus, do you think if the game fails Valve are going to keep trying? Or will they just go silent again for the next 12 years waiting for something else to come along

Can you say ANYTHING about Artifact 2.0, as a regular player, the community is in a lot of pain right now without a single word what the fuck is going on with the long haul. Just, ANYTHING, please.

You're the underage retard for assuming demand will remain the same as it was in January for the next 9 months

>I've been waiting for omni-directional treadmills to develop a bit more before getting into VR. Is valve working on anything like that?
Pretty sure most VR treadmill products have shifted focus from home use to arcade/e-sport use

Keep on dreaming poorfag

I dont mind slipping on clean floors with my socks on. I'm 30 and still do that shit when I'm high. Anyways, the biggest draw for me is that you have to strap in and it keeps you from wandering. I'd be worried about knocking shit over in my game room. Thanks for the headsup though.

>2/3rds of Index sales came after the announcement of Alyx in November
I think the demand will be the same

>poorfag
I just bought an RTX but okay

stfu no one cares about shartifact

Post a pic at valve HQ with timestamp

desu alyx has me the most excited. everything else is untextured barely presentable concepts and too early to judge. I move to l4d next and that project has me fuckin stoked

If they continue to sell controllers that break after a month retards will eventually start to buy spares (sup /vrg/).

You didn't already have one?

Fffffffuuuuuck I was prepared to drop 5k on that hulking monstrosity.

Where the fuck is the final TF2 comic!? Or any TF2 news in general

theres so much work done on citadel I'd probably quit my job if they dropped it. l4d has me most hyped and has more assets premade than anything else here. Even if vr fails (it wont lol) that game will be the bridge between the two

You're saying in l4d3 you will be able to fuck with kbm simps?

yeah I can say something about Artifact. Fuck your faggot game. I make real games, not meme fad nigger bullshit worked on by faggots that made double fine a toxic shit workplace

You keep bringing up L4D a lot but nothing else. Are there no other projects you know of that you can mention? I rather use this chance and believe what you're saying is true, but Valve themselves are not going to say anything otherwise (even with the recent improved communication).

>(it wont lol)

this is an indicator that this is a big larp... if it wasn't already obvious to all the underage posters here

How fucked did you feel when you saw boneworks?

Valve dude here. Thread's getting clogged asf but anyway, just get a small rug or a circular vr mat from amazon. That's what we use and give to anyone that uses the shit in their home so nothing breaks. Also use openvr toolkit or whatever it is, makes shit easier since updates for steamvr are so rare because they're fucking around with us fixin shit

>even with the recent improved communication
Less then a month from launch and we still have zero real gameplay footage

Boneworks is fucking trash mate. The only threatening thing about it is the good reception - just how retarded is the VR community?

tomorrow

Fox, meet grapes. Boneworks is the most interactive VR game and made your teleport only garbage look lame lmao

I thought it was impressive but clearly needed a lot of polish and accessibility options so more people than a niche subset of a niche subset could play it

You're really desperate for this to be true, I vaguely feel bad for you. He's right, most VRchads are 0% worried. The only thing up for question is just how fast VR takes off, not whether or not it will.

You don't understand. I am inexperienced with VR and slow minded. I will walk off the mat while immersed and know down my glass display case.
I basically want pic related without wheels and more mobility inside it.

Will the even restock index before alyx release?..

I had $1.2k stuck on steam for like 3-4 months now

Question about the Index. It has extension usb slots for upgrades, is anything in the works planned to be attached to the Index? Like a wireless feature?

I have glasses, and I can't wear them in the Index due to scratching the front. Is there anything being worked on to help fix this issue?

Eli's leg gets F
Radio has a dj who dies before climax lol

vort enemies then friends

game ships with mod levels and hammer so you can port shit from other games like og Doom, drop hla enemies where you want and upload to workshop. Players get to explore workshop on the tv screens in the home base area (main menu)

restock's happening this week but I'm not hw team so idfk what or when but buy it when you can bc all other headsets fuckin suck desu

do we really get to kill russell

quit being a faggot and get prescription lenses. Idk if theres merch happening for index usb but shirts and plushies are coming

Lmao this restock is going to be insta sold out thanks to coronavirus limiting the quantity and scalpers
Glad I got my Index after the first time it sold out.

Last bump for artifact news, anything at all?

Are all of the events in HL:A taking place before HL2?

For the first 2/3rds, yes

I don't work on artifact because I work on real games and not faggot meme fad trash that only gets 10 players. Get a vr headset and play a real game instead of some digital card game thats trying to scam you made by faggy double fine sjw's. There you go, now fuck off

I topped up my balance when index was still in stock, but for security reasons i wasnt able to complete the purchase.. I had to contact their fucking support for them to unlock my balance, 6 fucking days I had to wait by this time it was already sold out...

Hold trigger and pull outwards from the orange wrist straps, out comes holographic shit showing everything you have. Put things in backpack by placing over your shoulders

That is really fucking lame.

Considering what you get index and vr is pretty cheap.

Get a real job and a real hobby like cars. once youre holding a 1000 dollar piece of shiny tube in hand you realize pc gaming costs fucking nothing.

lol I'm just being honest like rift s is alright but the audio and controllers for index are what you wanna get

thats pretty neat.
Might steal it for our game.

thats pretty neat.
Might steal it for our game.
have rifts at work and index at home. Screen is very impressive audio trash and comfort is okay.
Massive step up from CV 1. Tracking is unreliable tho and fucks up every time I use the system in minor ways unlike ocushills want you to believe.

just come to valve if you're working on something, usually people here are chill with smaller studios and shit

I fucking knew this would be your response. "The most expensive version of this on the market is actually really cheap for what you are getting." You are asking over 1000$ for a video game peripheral that hardly has any games and cant be played for long durations of time without experiencing irritating discomfort. No matter how you describe it to me it will seem like a giant waste of money. So cut the crap and stop trying to prey on insecurity to hide your own.

Would you let the hunt down the freeman team enter Valve?

Nah its east europe and theres no point. Can't even get reviews positive cause we fucked up with tutorials and people get frustrated.

>You are asking over 1000$
stop buying VR headsets on ebay

didn't see the last part but yeah honestly I fucking hate the tracking for them too. Not as bad as cosmos controllers which are the worst vr tracked controllers I've used after trying the hydra they have in the storage bin here. Piece of absolute shit. Basing actions around the rift controllers and anything else fuckin sucks after all the things knuckles have to offer I mean ffs we use the squeezing function for activating certain damage properties and steady aim

>The most expensive version of this on the market is actually really cheap for what you are getting.
Yeah, you're getting best audio, best comfort, best controller bar reliability and best tracking. All built with premium materials.
>You are asking over 1000$ for a video game peripheral
Only if you were smallbrain and didn't get vive cause you saw it coming.
>that hardly has any games
People sink 10x as much to play flight sims and racing games. aka over 1 grand just to play literal 1-2 games while VR has many games worth the time and more coming out
>and cant be played for long durations of time without experiencing irritating discomfort.
I can play over 4h sessions of running around jumping and sprinting and spinning wildly while spinning myself in real life.
The headsets are very comfortable other than sweat on hot day.

>You are asking over 1000$ for a video game peripheral
It's two controllers, two 144Hz screens, two lighthouses on top of a good mic, good audio, and a fuckton of other tech that went into that device.
A high-end GPU is more expensive than that. And you don't even need to spend 1000$ to play VR, 200$ is enough.

What’s the salary range for a senior 3D artist? Do you get profit sharing?

idk who they are and don't care

Can you please tell the hardware team that the knuckles just flat out stop functioning cause sweat interferes with the tracking of fingers?
I have trouble playing for long times unless I deodorant my hands or wear gloves

Could be fixed on software side by making a button that requires grip force to detect holding

fucking xbox elite costs as much as 2 knuckles and all you get is a fucking standard 360 controller with bit of chrome paint on plastics.

go fix TF2 instead of wanking it to VR prototypes you pieces of shit

Was there any truth to the t*ler claim about "muh boneworks made valve discover that teleport is not only way to move in video games"

What is 928$ +tax and shipping, user?
1) Yes, I agree that the highest quality deserves the highest price. This does not make it inexpensive.
2)I'm an idiot for not spending 500$ so I can spend 500$ more later and in the meantime spend like 10 hours playing games while I wait for something I know nothing about.
3)Not me.
4) 4h sessions, wow.

1) Doesn't make it not expensive
2) Valve larper has already said other headsets are garbage and not worth it.

I said nothing you say can sway me. IF VR takes off and I can see myself spending 500 hours a year in VR then I will purchase it, regardless of price because it will be a worthwhile investment. Until then, keep parroting your talking points, it will not sway me.

Is he nearsighted or farsighted? Most computer faggots end up being nearsighted, which would be no issue when it comes to VR.

My ex took our fucking dog which was dying of goddamn shit fucking mucous cancer already just to spite me. There's really no other reason. Cunts will be cunts. Alfons died a month later but I am still mad after 4 years.

I was hoping for stories of him falling down. And getting back up again because he has shit to do.

Still over 1k after tax. But good to know.

tyler is a fucking idiot but you do realize if you hire him you can make him sign a NDA and make him shut up forever? it's been done by other companies, just give him a low paying PR backend job and you'll end up in the black

>Yes, I agree that the highest quality deserves the highest price. This does not make it inexpensive.
More worth it than going from 1080 to 2080. Unlike that upgrade you get something for your money.
>I'm an idiot for not spending 500$ so I can spend 500$ more later and in the meantime spend like 10 hours playing games while I wait for something I know nothing about.
What is spending 500, selling it for 350 and using that money to pay for index headset and controllers brainlet. No wonder a grand seems much for you.
>Not me.

>4h sessions, wow.
Sorry for having a life and good genes. Sour grapes.

Also 500h yearly is fucking nothing. I barely have time to play and I have like 600 in one year.

lmao this sweaty nigger again

Seems true, he got the arrogance to certain retardation only a made man can afford.

Works fine on my end.
Id rather take a break for a while and get a free replacement than deal with shit tracking and garbage walled garden epic games tier shit policies.

this but instead of hiring him, hire a cartel hitman instead

Well mine did after a couple of weeks, so did the replacements, the only fix is not playing smooth locomotion games at all.

I'm still on 1080 because it suits me fine. But yeah, my thinking is lateral to yours on it being a bigger upgrade.
What was the point of buying the index if there is nothing for me to use from it? I am still spending more money than if I didn't buy it at all.
You know nothing about me. I work hard, play hard and go on cruises with my wife and kids every 2 years. Simple as, stop projecting.

Funny how incessantly people moan about this issue and recommend RiftS and then don't mention any of RiftS' numerous problems

Its because only people who write posts about their drift issues are people whose sticks drift.
Thats how feedback works most times people only review things if they get fucked over hard enough that makes them mad enough to write a review.

You dont hear from the 9990 people whose sticks are fine but the 10 whose aint are enough to start a rumor about a product that makes poorfags seethe.

>valve is just mad tyler gets any attention at all despite being permanently wrong about everything
I dont think anyone at Valve has any right to be mad at the guy. He's made an online career on a video game company that became NOTORIOUSLY reclusive as soon as he started.
He isnt wrong all of the time, and he's only been able to dish out info in small bits due to the vast majority of info being leaks in either code, or unreliable word of mouth(this thread)
He was telling us about HL VR years ago. Was he telling us about plot points and gameplay mechanics? Outside of code string no. Everything was just speculation
Convince me right now that he isnt just a punching bag for the auitists here and deserves any malcontent from the developers that have inspired him to make a semi-succesful YT channel.

Valve is mad because Tyler doesn't have the social skills to distinguish obvious fakes from real leaks, and for some reason people keep sending him real shit so he can't even default to assuming it's fake.
Imagine if you were obsessed with keeping perfect PR and never hyping up anything until it's done, then this chucklefuck takes over the ""fandom"" and hypes up projects that don't even exist.
I agree giving him a job with an NDA is the right move. It's not like they're not spending money on him already either way.

Fuck off Tyler, I'd clap if Valve hired a hitman to off you

Tyler claims this version of hl3 was in development from 2013 to 2015, is he right or just being a faggot who fell for a shitty fake? youtube.com/watch?v=QVeScN7l3pg

gameplay video tomorrow? that isn't from tested

Not him but it's literally impossible for a company with the importance of Valve to never hype anything. Even if Tyler was out of the picture, people would still speculate heavily and meme it up, like HL3 confirmed. Their silence only makes people hype even harder.

>dev rift s is easier in some regards but thats just based on preference when you're picking up and taking off your shit fifty fucking thousand times a day

Maybe valve shouldve fucking made something then instead of kill their games over 9 years

I remember a pre-tyler and a post-tyler. He's definitely been hyping people up. He's got a huge crowd of zoomers listening to his every word, zoomers that wouldn't give a shit about valve projects otherwise (outside of official PR).

Op here, Tyler's a fucking asshole who will autistically find every email of everyone he can who works here, then send them all shit individually asking this and that. Like bruh, this is our workplace, we'e not celebrities and definitely not going to share company secrets with our real name attached. We're just trying to live our lives and have some privacy, not have some fucking faggot with his child following come and obsessively stalk us

what its not hard to imagine that a company like valve would have another autist trying to find leaks.
I mean he doesnt even find leaks other people do, he just reports on them.

Have you tried telling the autist that he's doing something wrong? He might legitimately not know.

I dont know if I'd chalk it up to social skills but I agree with your post. I guess it makes sense
HOWEVER
There was clearly a vacuum of information from Valve and Tyler filled it
If Valve really did have any issues with PR and wanted to not have it be covered by some teen on YT they could have, you know.... done something?

Y-you too

>Vive pro and older rifts are better cause the flip up face.
Aside from structural weak point wear and tear shit, why isn't this more common? VR really has a problem with making it needlessly clunky to answer a text message or take a fucking sip of water.

Are we going to get Alyx officially supported on Steam for Linux?

Yo those weapon skins take time!

I agree that he ends up hyping people but if it wasn't him it'd be one of the other hundreds of youtubers. The guy is just filling a void that's usually filled by the company's PR. The best way to unhype people is to give as much information as possible. A good example is CP77. Most of that hype has been killed by the constant news about this or that.

yeah

>structural weak point
>a fucking rotating hinge with some friction applied to it
I mean sure but are you talking about a game that requires you to faceplant a wall every so often or something? Even then it wouldnt break

The void is there for a reason. I agree with you that it's Valve's problem to fix, but I also understand why they're angry their valued void is being filled.

I dont believe you and neither does anyone else.
Proofs.

If Tyler wants info how the fuck else will he get it?
If you dont want a Yotube boy who's literal job is finding information on a game studio with NO PR wing to not email the employees, then what the fuck do you do?
Emailing you asking about a product is nothing to cry over lmao

Real talk
What the FUCK is up with valve testers?

I know, but Valve can't control it, specially nowadays where everyone wants to know a little bit of everything. I can respect their "no hype, just release" policy but even that works against them. The average costumer needs to be reminded that something is coming out, otherwise it gets drowned in the middle of every other bit of news.
It's understandable for Alyx to not have any real marketing, it's just a VR game after all, but they're shooting themselves in the foot if they keep thinking that a simple banner on Steam is enough advertising.

I've never used one but I've seen people post theirs with broken hinge. It's such a logical design though there must be a reason its a rarity.

Is the game getting a commentary mode?
Was at a student talk in uk back in like 2015-16 when one of your workers was doing a talk and seemed like the VR development and problem solving was very interesting.

Are you one of the faggots who drove Laidlaw away?

ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A HEADSET WITH TWO SCREENS THAT MAKES YOU SWEATY, UNCOMFORTABLE, AND GIVES YOU MOTION SICKNESS
IMAGINE THINKING VR IS ANYTHING BUT A FAD GIMMICK

>ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A HEADSET WITH TWO SCREENS
as opposed to the Rift S with one screen?

Have you played HL1 lately? It really suffers from being a game designed without player feedback. Granted Valve totally erred on the side of caution with HL2 but given how much time is wasted in HL1 trying to figure out where to go next or getting lost in samey looking ducts, or just the entirety of Xen I understand it now.

its all fun and games until your wife gets a facebook friend request from tyler mcvicker. Yes this actually happened to my coworker, no I'm not talking about it any further so take your shit youtube celebrity twitch streamer and his bullshit stalkerish army of a community, and fuck off

OP here, wdym?

yea commentary's coming later

>Have you played HL1 lately?
I completed hl1 in past 3 years for first time cause back then didn't have good pc and couldn't get game.
Xen was fine. HL1 was good.

based, fuck Tyler and his army of 14yos

>how much time is wasted in HL1 trying to figure out where to go next or getting lost in samey looking ducts, or just the entirety of Xen I understand it now.
Ah, so everyone is a casual with no sense of direction or exploration, including you. Good to know.

You know what we mean.

What is zer name?

It is and I like it more than HL2 and always have, but it has a lot of obtuse moments that I can easily see someone getting frustrated by. I don't blame Valve for wanting to iron that out but it can be challenging to know just how far to dumb down or streamline something.

Don't get so bitter user, try to discuss things like an adult instead of a kneejerking child who tries to bogeyman anyone they disagree with.

I literally have no clue what you're talking about

They mean Valve's tendency to dumb down or remove elements if they inconvenience the player even slightly
It's something of an exaggerated meme but also holds a grain of truth and is observable even in stuff like that VR Door talk

You are grasping at straws now, user. Also still speaking in >£
Valve larper has given up and you should too. Respect that not everyone shares your taste or sensibilities and get on just fine without them.

he's referring to that anecdote about HL2 mazes making a tester go in loops ten times in a row or something, so they had to dumb the game down

>UK price is £919
>receipt shows that's with tax included
>US price is $999
>"hmm that must be before tax is added"
utter brainlet

I still don't know why they haven't outsourced testing like CIG has. It is free and valve has the same sort of neckbeard diehards at their disposal who will pay to test.

gosh you can't think of a single reason?

I can think of plenty. But you would get much better results than the brain dead mush valve hires for QA. Make a rewards system, make them play with a watermark so that their recordings and screenshots can be identified and they can be punished? It is at least worth discussion.

Testing's done inhouse with other game developers and a variety of different types of groups. Idk why the fuck theres criticism all of a sudden towards the playtesting of all things. the game's polished as fuck and plays well for vr noobs and hardcore gamers so wtf are you guys going on about

What a shitty larp.

Is English your first language?

>it's 999$ :^)
You're the kid no one liked at sleepovers.

I don't know how you've worked for valve without learning of this, it's been a thing since like 2008

Interesting to see how far removed from reality you are.

Story about the play testers that thought head crab walking under a bucket was a bug. Leads people to cook up all kinds of grievances in their heads.
"Ahhh, what if it was QA that made X suck or why Y was removed from the game!"
This stems from a lack of information, it is just speculation getting out of hand, IMO.

Even the valve employee larper said 1000$. What are you trying to win here?

Or how unwilling you are to accept possibilities. This is why you are still a low level dev.

>What is 928$ +tax and shipping, user?

CAN YOU PLAY HALF LIFE ALYX SITTING DOWN

Yeah no, the headcrab bucket thing hasn't been a serious playtest grievance lol. I haven't seen anything in the game that feels sacrificed except for dumbing down some gman sequences to keep players from feeling sick or making barnicles just strangle you in teleport. Shit like that.

substantiateyourclaims.chicken

Did your gf actually steal your neo geo x? Sue that bitch

Only dumb playtest shit I've seen is when people drop ammo and forget how to use gravity gloves to grab it. Or the time someone ran into the window

928 IS the price. They include the tax and it becomes $999. Which is 1$ away from $1000. If this marketing strategy that has been around as long as capitalism is still getting you, I'm sorry.

I'm sure they have the hang of it by now though. Right?

Oh a schizoposter, makes sense

They addressed this months ago
Yes. You can play seated

and you were saying it was over $1000 at the start.

ok good, makes the game from a gimmicky kinect tier game to something slightly more serious and intriguing.

>gimmicky kinect tier game
There were kinect games you play while sitting down, you know

Why isn't valve releasing an SDK alongside the game? Are they going to release a source 2 sdk with csgo or some other game instead?

yeah but you'd be surprised how dumb some people can be. Thats why gravity gloves are the main gimmick of the game, because they help make shit easier and more fun to do since bending over to pickup ammo or grenades sucks

>thinks I'm the OP based on literally nothing
Haha silly butthurt schizo, I'm Tyler
Also you really are retarded

honestly depends how well hlalyx does in its first month. If shit goes according to plan it'll happen sooner and I prob won't get to work on l4d until christmas LOL

Plot summary? (Particularly of the last third of the game?)

Why did your gf leave?

Why on Earth did Valve give copies away to Index buyers?
Like I'm not complaining but almost anyone who bought an Index would have bought it, full price. And nobody is buying an Index for their free copy of HLA.

>Why on Earth did Valve give copies away to Index buyers?
To get people to buy an Index
Valve only sold about 50,000 units of the VR set before the Alyx announcement but then sold 100,000 after it.

It's not a lake.

This poster is larping very hard.

From one larper to another, yeah 100%.

>source 2 l4d
Isn't the zombie fad dead? Put some people in tf2 instead

Nobody bought the Index for a free 40 dollar game you tard

>Put some people in tf2 instead
They already tried VR in TF2 but dropped it after they found the 6DOF didn't work well with that gameplay
according to the stats they did

not this time, fellow schiz.

I'm sorry about your mental illness, seek help?

Why are you trying to resurrect this corpse? Why not resurrect this other corpse?

in case u r not a laper, plz tell the csgo devs to add more maps in unranked mm/scrimmage.

This might seem hard to comprehend for a terminal autist like you but HLA hype alone sold the Index. 40 bucks is next to nothing compared to that expenditure.

>HLA hype alone sold the Index
and part of that hype was having the game included with your purchase of index

OP here, lol. Good one.

We can use high quality assets and make new shit made just for vr rather than tack vr on to some game that'd look and work like dogshit. If you ever played pavlov just picture that with team fortress characters. Would look like fuckin shit

Thanks. Disregard the OP post. Btw how is the l coronavirus situation down south in Bellevue? Is the general vibe around the office full of uncertainty and anxiety?

Hold up.

So how would L4D3 support KBM and VR players congruently? Genuinely curious.

You don't need a valve employee to tell you that.

VR takes on humans and zombies, pancake gets zombies and world edits.

you don't need to kick me when I'm down, friend

Ok, but now it sounds like VR players will have the worse experience.

with this said I'm gonna hop off. Ign footage should prove what I've said. VR home environment should come Tuesday, features the main menu home base I mentioned earlier with all the tv screens and firing range, alyx hands and shit

Thanks for entertaining us user, good luck

they literally ran out of left-hand controllers because of the drift.

9990 people are Beat Saber fags or play casually. Their stick will drift, but later.

Thanks for the thread either way.
