This ruins the gameplay. And ruins a new gaming experience that is only expressed with VR. I understand the feeling to still having to enjoy the progression of the story and the game without the VR hardware. But this defeats the entire idea, of why it was made on VR only, because it breaks the way to experience it. This takes you 3 squares back, to a monitor 2D image. Another example, the mod takes out the joy of the main mechanic in the game: the gloves.
@@MichelangeloDraconis Thanks, everyone already is aware of it from the other thousand of people who mentioned it since this mod was a thing. We get it, it ruins the immersion and whatever else feature in the game, so what? Everyone has their own reasons for playing like this and they are allowed to play it the way they want to.
@@PANCHO7532 Yeah, Well the game is awesome with those mechanics, ripping the fun makes the game a meh. So an awesome game is modded into a mild thing. If so many are thinking this then clearly is a common understanding and common warning to not miss the original VR experience. That´s all
Yes and no, not many people have VR equipment so it's a bummer that you can't play it normally so this is really cool

@@R1b3z what he meant is.. this game was design with the "being there" experience in mind. After playing this myself in VR, seeing it now on the flat screen, the two just doesn't compare. The game feels slow as a flat screen fps. While if you play this in VR, fighting with the reload mechanism, manhandling all sorts of gear, ducking behind stuff, and generally being more aware of your surroundings and experiencing the sheer size of all these weird creatures.. time passes very differently.
Still it being an option should've been a thing not everyone can spend a shit ton of money on VR headset's to play this stuff just kind of comes off gatekeepy the way you are saying that stuff
I have a Meta Quest 2 and I just cannot use it anymore, everything is so blurry and it feels like my eyes are being squeezed, plus the weight of that crap that hangs off of your face really sucks. I need to give VR another try in 10 years or so.
It's really quite expensive (I have the money personally, but not the will to spend it and i imagine a lot of people are like this, or don't have spare money all together) plus everyone keeps telling me you get bored after 2 days. it's a pretty crazy investment for something you might get bored of basically. I just bought a samsung flip phone (which i'll admit is quite expensive for what it is) but I use my phone for my work + daily life. I could justify this a little more.
@@fastestdino2 you get bored if you don't have no idea what to play with first, hald life is not boring at all, you can play all Unreal Engine 4 or 5 games to VR with a mod now (robocot, high on life, etc), and there's this game called "contractors showdown" that is very popular because is the "call of duty warzone" of VR, there are way more good games that 3 years ago and aaa games too, people who said that was lazy to try find something good or investigate, but at the end of the day is your decition bro.
@@FeekyChucker the quest 3 is way more clear and feels less heavy but i understand your feeling, my quest anterior headset (quest 2) for me now looks blurry and pixelated, i don't use it anymore just my sister for beat saber, you can try the quest 4 in 2 years from now.
@@GMOTP5738 Bro dont call me out like that, I saved up in highschool and bought the valve index at $1000 when it came out and there's been like 3 solid VR games since 2020😭
3:55 Right here you can see how even small things get diminished on flat screen. In VR, even if you're not looking up, you see a shadow of someone walking past that window... It's one of those things that you just see on your peripheral in real life.
I 200% agree that this game deserves to be played in VR for the intended and designed experience, but still find this kinda neat as somebody who already played through the game 3 times. I guess if you're gonna go all the way and make custom animations like this, why not do a "pull" or "yank" animation for items you grab with the RUSSELs? Maybe use Bulletstorm for reference since that game heavily utilizes a "lasso" mechanic in vibe with the RUSSELs.
I understand VR isn't for everyone, it certainly isn't for me. My headset is collecting dust. But understand that you would be doing yourself a great disservice playing this as a regular FPS. A major part of what makes this game compelling is the VR experience.
100% do not play it like this unless you have to (like if vr makes you vomit or you cant spend the 300 bucks). the game is straight up worse flat-screen.
The thing is, The more people have VR, the more VR games will be made. Imagine If people keep refuse to buy PS, XBox, PC because there is too few games back then.
This mod seems really nice and certainly facilitates access to the game, however if you have the opportunity to play in VR I STRONGLY recommend doing so. Most immersive gaming experience I have ever had
@KidMalyshev just grab a quest 2 and a 600 dollar prebuilt and you can play any game you've ever seen and not have to pay for online(the stupidest trend in console gaming) and you can do other stuff, you can code, mod, emulate, and lots of other things not related to gaming
Having played the game twice as intended in Vr, i can safely say this is a different game. It's like watching the Avatar movies in a black and white 2d screen. You think you watched the movie, but you didn't
Finished Half-Life Alyx 3 times and I´m absolutely agree. Valve showcases an entire new way to play games LITERALLY being inside games, to enjoy giant action scenes around the player. And people doesn´t understand the message and reduce it back to a previous format. Instead of going to the new one to really experience it as it was created, to give a new game joy :) The way to aim here is feels really dumb with a CEMENT HAND that doesn´t even move right in the center ahhahah.. they also skip the Hologram mini-game? I guess because they cannot represent the additional depth of the holo games? PS: Also Gunman Contracts is coming as a standalone VR Game coming from Alyx VR awesomeness of true aiming, now ruined in Flat screen. Modding something like that is ruining it: ruclips.net/video/3qfltp7iQ7w/видео.html
@@MichelangeloDraconisGood thing it's called "MOD" no one is forcing you to use it and in general it allows people who didn't plan on buying VR (me incl) have a reason to play this game to experience the story and world. You sounded butthurt now more people experiencing this game in non VR lol.
The first time I played this game was on a Quest 1 headset on a laptop with a GTX1650 and it still totally blew my mind!! Now I'm on my 4th or 5th play through on a Quest 3 with GTX3060 and it looks amazing. You can get the VR hardware you need to play it pretty cheap today. It's super impressive so see someone port it to non-VR but I suspect that the gameplay might not feel that satisfying - the pace of the game is quite slow to cater to VR. That said, the atmosphere, visuals and sound are just so incredible that I'm glad people can experience it.
gatekeepers? probably more like people who were so impressed with what is arguably the best VR game ever made that they passionately insist that it should be played in VR to fully appreciate it.
@@GMOTP5738 Seems like your brain is broken, mate. Copium would be playing a game that was exclusively developed for VR on a flat screen and calling VR useless. You mad because poor, or what? Maybe just dumb.
its weird, but in VR it looks so much more real, beyond immersion i mean the textures, here it looks like any other game with average texture detail, bu in VR it looks quite real
If the whole idea of VR is removed from the mod entirely, maybe the gameplay should be adapted to a NoVR version as well. The antlions look about as threatening as pop-corn in this version, unlike in Half-Life 2, and slower than a sloth taking a shit. I will gladly wait a few more years for the gameplay to be updated by someone to be fast paced like in standard shooters.
Why are people offended by those who do not have vr? They are the ones who will play, not you lol. Clearly the game is much better in vr, but I find it odd that you care enough to comment on it.
Holy heck, just watching this I'm so happy this game didn't release with OBT flatscreen support. This gameplay kinda removes everything that made Alyx fun at all.
I think this is great for those who just want to play for the lore or story. It is easier to absorb the story playing flatscreen because its easier to process whats going on without the player being overwhelmed with Everything in their face.
I played Alyx with this mod and I really enjoyed the higher resolution over VR. Plus I have kickass speakers which have better sound than my VR headset did. So if I had to choose, I choose to sit down and just play than fiddle with all that VR stuff.
if valve wouldv let tye player damage enemies with objects in the games it would have been alot better imo, they drop a big fun element from half life 2.
I agree its a cool feat they did to get those without vr the ability to see the game, but I promise, you haven't seen the true detail until you view the resolution in VR. Even CS2 doesnt do the engine justice compared to this game in VR
@@Inbraneinthememsanenah bro your just jealous. Let’s just take a moment to look at what a child you are making of yourself. You’re doing all the work of insulting you for me.
Amazing video! I'm just here for the "bUt ItS nOt MeAnT tO bE pLaYeD lIkE tHaT" comments. Listen, I'm not going to buy an overpriced peripheral for *ONE* game, you must be out your gourd lmao. (this is the only VR game I care about)
2 things, 1.There's VR and then there's VR with a valve index. 2. The game justifies the headset cost alone, it's a wild feeling when you realize you barely remember looking at the screen when you play most non vr games but your brain records VR games like real life memories. It's a totally different experience.
@@DarthSears yes. the game was made for and on VR. You miss half the experience not playing it on VR. It's not a gimmick in this case, it's a gimmick playing it on keyboard
@@moniumus6303 I would rather play a Half-Life game like a Half-Life game, to be honest. Coping by spending hundreds of excess dollars on a gimmick peripheral doesn't mean shit to me.
@@youdonegoofedsorry but I’m gonna to have to disagree I don’t have that much nostalgia for HL2 but the game is still rather good looking today. HL1 looks like absolute dog shit now but still is so much fun to play.
У современных геймеров, какие-то проблемы с внимательностью! В самых элементарных местах, не могут найти выходы и решения, а многие вещи в виде магазина, пропускают, хотя лежит рядом с патронами, которые игрок подбирает.
This really showcases just how AGONIZINGLY slow you really are moving in game. Like, I love the game a lot, but couldn't they have added a sprint? Jesus...
First of all, i don't understand why. Why do we try to play the game that was designed for VR in flat screens. Second of all, i have no idea how you will solve some puzzles in this game because they work good only in VR
Love how there is a way for everyone to enjoy this game and there are all of these copium vr defenders in the comment section trying to justify their useless headset that definitely collects dust 😂😂😂 like stfu let people enjoy the game ffs
Because its a mod, the game is meant to be played in VR, it doesnt make sense at all playing it like this dude, don't judge if you have no idea, it makes you look like a mongolic.
@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames YES This game is meant to be played on VR, it makes NO SENSE to play it like this, all the movement, reloading interaction etc is made by YOU with the headset and the controllers... how are you so dumb?
you can get into VR for way cheaper now than it was back in 2016-18, you can find used quest 2s for like 200 and run this game perfectly fine on a 1650 and above. So idk what overpriced means to you this mod was out during release so its not a new thing
Holy crap does this player suffer from chronic reloaditis - shoot 3 shots from the pistol, reload. In VR you had to manage ammo, all the half-spent magazines are waste!
I only Using, Max Payne Sound Patch, and Requiem Avenging Angel From GOG. The Rest many Shooters From 1997-2009. All Original ISO, No Digital Plattform. You Should never Using Mods, this is Stupid
Plays like a Zombie game compared to Half Life 2's exploration theme. Valve doesn't know what made previous games successful. And no, I don't care for VR. The fact that this game depends on a gimmick like VR to be relevant is indicative of its shallowness.
I swear they seem like an obsessed cult at this point. Doesn't help they have a superiority complex and seem to just have so much contempt on "flat screen gaming". I sometimes get the feeling they're bitter about the fact that VR didn't take off as the "next evolution of gaming" as they were expecting. It remains a niche gimmick despite Alyx releasing 4 years ago and there still haven't been a major VR exclusive game like it.
I am not playing flights sims because I do not have HotAss controller, same with racing sims - using pad or keyboard instead of racing wheel is just wrong. With this game, it is not designed around flat screen gameplay and experience without 6dof motion controls and head tracking. Play if you want It will affect only you not VR players, because later on you will feel that the game was bad.
@@juu226 Flight and racing sims have varying degrees of how sim they are. Obviously you're not getting the full intended experience without the necessary peripherals, especially with the more niche titles that focus on complete authenticity, but don't pretend a large chunk of the core gameplay is lost on non-specialized peripherals. Assetto Corsa is completely playable and even competitive with a gamepad thanks to mods and tweaks. Microsoft Flight Simulator is very casual friendly. Even DCS is serviceable with a gamepad and keyboard together. You claim it will affect non-VR players but the VR enthusiasts here are hellbent in discouraging people from trying this, why do you people care so much? Let people decide themselves if they will think it'd be a bad experience based on their choices.
@@Nachy Basically I wrote same thing, don't know who are those "you people" and I don't care if someone will have inferior experience, it is their choice like mine chosing not to play flight sims without HotAss, I tried MFS on gamepad and did not like it.
Ouch bottleneck 4k and still dropping down to 87 utilization yeah. Thamk god these gpus are good enohgh to do 4k so we dont have to worry as much about the cpu. Even my 13400f has a slight bottleneck with my strix 4080 super even in 4k but not much. Not like this lol I have to say your bottleneck isnt horrible at 4k. Cant imagine 1080p though lol. Ouch
This abomination should not exist. This is how you ruin a masterpiece. A quest 2 is listerally $200. Such a shame that someone spent how much for a 4080 and yet is too cheap to add a $200 Quest 2 to play an absolute masterpiece.
It really should be played on the format it was designed for, its going to be too easy and the depth of actually feeling like you are in the world is stripped away with a flat screen. That being said if you are unable to use VR or just cant afford the headset i suppose you could play it this way but dont expect it to wow you or be a difficult game.
@@moenesca Well I would say it's like watching a video of someone riding a roller coaster versus getting on and riding it yourself, it's just not the same. If you want to play in 2d that's fine but you are missing out. If you get the opportunity you should try it at the very least

@@moniumus6303 I would rather play a Half-Life game like a Half-Life game, to be honest.
Coping by spending hundreds of excess dollars on a gimmick peripheral doesn't mean shit to me.
Now its looks like Half-life 2.5
Looks like it would be perfect in VR
By the way I have ultra settings on my 2060 with 70-80 fps :)
How funny that this card can do a lot of
dayum
still waiting for valve to put this out for non vr user if yall are lazy to make a 3 then at least make this available to other platformstoo :(
Everything looks so small on this side of the screen.
and its on sale too 😃
This makes you appreciate HL2
How?
@@youdonegoofed because graphics in hl2 are still pretty nice looking and hold up well
@@TemSuitButOnRUclips Time to take off those nostalgia glasses, investing in a pair of actual glasses wouldn't hurt either.
@@youdonegoofed it could be that, but you gotta admit the game still looks great
@@youdonegoofedsorry but I’m gonna to have to disagree I don’t have that much nostalgia for HL2 but the game is still rather good looking today. HL1 looks like absolute dog shit now but still is so much fun to play.
У современных геймеров, какие-то проблемы с внимательностью! В самых элементарных местах, не могут найти выходы и решения, а многие вещи в виде магазина, пропускают, хотя лежит рядом с патронами, которые игрок подбирает.
the bottleneck is insane , i suggest you upgrade your cpu to amd latest 7800x3d or intel 13th gen
if intel 13th gen dont have problem with half life
12th gen is enought
This really showcases just how AGONIZINGLY slow you really are moving in game.
Like, I love the game a lot, but couldn't they have added a sprint? Jesus...
Why does 8k look to real? Fake almost. It's odd and can't explain
I prefer to no play if it's not in VR. This game was perfectly designed in every aspect for VR.
No shit sherlock
Sooooo Alyx is Episode 3 dlc?
Alyx would be Half-Life 1.5, the events in Alyx happen between HL1 and HL2.
I think we have given vr enough gimmick
I tried a VR at a store and hated it, felt weird, and hurt my eyes. Got to try this...
It’s called motion sickness I think
So without the VR facade it actually looks rather shit.
no way! a game which it's main selling point is being a VR experience is not so good without it? how could one imagine that!?
Wow, this is terrible copmared to the vr version
Can this be played on the steamdeck
@@cenichi The steakdeck IS a PC....
yes
First of all, i don't understand why. Why do we try to play the game that was designed for VR in flat screens. Second of all, i have no idea how you will solve some puzzles in this game because they work good only in VR
it's mostly bc frustated people who were expecting a HL3 but had to deal with a VR spin-off game instead (+ poor people in third world countries)
@@Polengueif there very poor I don’t think they’re Nokia can run this.
needs a mod to make it more harder since its a VR game first
В этом моде очень кривое передвижение, постоянно обо что-то спотыкаюсь, втыкаюсь в невидимые препятствия и т.д.
Is this mod complete?
I mean, it looks playable, but it's far from the fear and fun of actually being in the world of half-life.
just get VR its worth it trust me
no.
I can't believe we had to w8 for a freaking mod... Valve could've of easily made an official non vr version so annoying.
? That would have been pretty dumb on valve's part
No RTX, not 8k
a 4080 with a 10700f....? bruh why; I have a 4070 super and a 12900k and the 12900k limits it at times.
What??

Theres no reticle lol....
Love how there is a way for everyone to enjoy this game and there are all of these copium vr defenders in the comment section trying to justify their useless headset that definitely collects dust 😂😂😂 like stfu let people enjoy the game ffs
Movement looks iffy
Because its a mod, the game is meant to be played in VR, it doesnt make sense at all playing it like this dude, don't judge if you have no idea, it makes you look like a mongolic.
For me it’s the reaction of the hands and arms, it doesn’t feel hefty enough when guns are firing
@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames It's a mod.
@@SweetFlexZ Does that mean they’re unable to change the movement of the limbs?
@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames YES
This game is meant to be played on VR, it makes NO SENSE to play it like this, all the movement, reloading interaction etc is made by YOU with the headset and the controllers... how are you so dumb?
Vsync is on
This feels so wrong
They should've made that from the beginning. I was so angry when they made a VR only HL game.
If it doesn't do something different gameplay wise it wouldn't be Valve
Man dropped 1k+ on a gpu but cant upgrade that cpu LOL. Shame man.
A poor mans Alyx experience.
wish i was poor to run a game withRTX 4080 8K Ultra Settings | i7 10700F
Maybe he is poor, but he has a kind soul. All those rich ppl who like to show-up are disgusting
VR fans in the comments scrambling to justify their overpriced toy now that people can play this regularly. Love to see it.
you can get into VR for way cheaper now than it was back in 2016-18, you can find used quest 2s for like 200 and run this game perfectly fine on a 1650 and above. So idk what overpriced means to you this mod was out during release so its not a new thing
@@aqilardi5266 You can find Quest 1s for about 100 bucks, those will still give you a good PCVR experience.
Its always funny to see people having no idea of vr. Well, if you wanna miss out on an awesome experience.... you do yours ;-)
Lol, don't cry
VR is so cheap nowadays, wdym, lmao
Lol, turn off vsync to see max fps
If you have an 4080, why the f*ck you desactivate the VR Mod?
Holy crap does this player suffer from chronic reloaditis - shoot 3 shots from the pistol, reload.
In VR you had to manage ammo, all the half-spent magazines are waste!
I only Using, Max Payne Sound Patch, and Requiem Avenging Angel From GOG.
The Rest many Shooters From 1997-2009. All Original ISO, No Digital Plattform.
You Should never Using Mods, this is Stupid
Plays like a Zombie game compared to Half Life 2's exploration theme. Valve doesn't know what made previous games successful. And no, I don't care for VR. The fact that this game depends on a gimmick like VR to be relevant is indicative of its shallowness.
VR bros mad in the comments as usual lmao. It's also funny how this mod doesn't even remotely affects them, yet here they are seething and crying.
I swear they seem like an obsessed cult at this point. Doesn't help they have a superiority complex and seem to just have so much contempt on "flat screen gaming".
I sometimes get the feeling they're bitter about the fact that VR didn't take off as the "next evolution of gaming" as they were expecting. It remains a niche gimmick despite Alyx releasing 4 years ago and there still haven't been a major VR exclusive game like it.
I am not playing flights sims because I do not have HotAss controller, same with racing sims - using pad or keyboard instead of racing wheel is just wrong. With this game, it is not designed around flat screen gameplay and experience without 6dof motion controls and head tracking. Play if you want It will affect only you not VR players, because later on you will feel that the game was bad.
@@juu226 Flight and racing sims have varying degrees of how sim they are. Obviously you're not getting the full intended experience without the necessary peripherals, especially with the more niche titles that focus on complete authenticity, but don't pretend a large chunk of the core gameplay is lost on non-specialized peripherals. Assetto Corsa is completely playable and even competitive with a gamepad thanks to mods and tweaks. Microsoft Flight Simulator is very casual friendly. Even DCS is serviceable with a gamepad and keyboard together.
You claim it will affect non-VR players but the VR enthusiasts here are hellbent in discouraging people from trying this, why do you people care so much? Let people decide themselves if they will think it'd be a bad experience based on their choices.
@@Nachy Basically I wrote same thing, don't know who are those "you people" and I don't care if someone will have inferior experience, it is their choice like mine chosing not to play flight sims without HotAss, I tried MFS on gamepad and did not like it.
@@juu226 My wife has a HotAss
Is this worth it???
its something i've played through once but wouldn't play again
For God sake, just get an Oculus Rift for $50 on the second-hand market...
Holy fuck this game looks mediocre when not in VR
Ouch bottleneck 4k and still dropping down to 87 utilization yeah. Thamk god these gpus are good enohgh to do 4k so we dont have to worry as much about the cpu. Even my 13400f has a slight bottleneck with my strix 4080 super even in 4k but not much. Not like this lol
I have to say your bottleneck isnt horrible at 4k. Cant imagine 1080p though lol. Ouch
It is running in 8k check the title
It's not bottleneck it's just locked to 60 FPS.
@@valentinvas6454 Well, it would be locked to 60 fps if it didn't drop into the 30s every time something explodes.
Pancake gamer
Big framedrop every time an antlion explodes. With this game being originally for VR you'd think it would be optimized.
Doesn't make sense to play this game without vr LOL
This abomination should not exist. This is how you ruin a masterpiece. A quest 2 is listerally $200. Such a shame that someone spent how much for a 4080 and yet is too cheap to add a $200 Quest 2 to play an absolute masterpiece.
It really should be played on the format it was designed for, its going to be too easy and the depth of actually feeling like you are in the world is stripped away with a flat screen.
That being said if you are unable to use VR or just cant afford the headset i suppose you could play it this way but dont expect it to wow you or be a difficult game.
ok and?
@@moenesca If you play it without VR it will just be a sub-par half life game
@MasterMark5 ok and? you are assuming that people who wanted this mod care about it
@@moenesca Well I would say it's like watching a video of someone riding a roller coaster versus getting on and riding it yourself, it's just not the same. If you want to play in 2d that's fine but you are missing out. If you get the opportunity you should try it at the very least
@@MasterMark5Let people have fun how they want.This is just a mod.
Great job VR enthusiasts for confirming to being absolute elitists once again
Yep, as if I needed more convincing to never buy a VR headset. The thought of being one of those people is revolting, honestly.
@@kozodoev it's funny I have one and I bought it cheap just to plat Alyx and haven't used it since lol
