Awesome work! Kudos to this mod team.
Nice
having played this game twice in VR… I can’t imagine playing this without VR… would be lame as hell. would most likely just feel like a lame tech demo minus the cool set pieces/graphics.

f*ck Valve for not releasing this to PC. Imagine being such a b**tard that you take a dump on HL fans who made you big. Also f*ck Valve for milking developers for a 30% cut on steam. Developers who actually release PC games. I hope EGS gets its sh*t together and buttr4pes woketard Valve (unlikely tho)
How the fück would they sell their whole stock of shïtty VR sets, if not like this?
“fully modeled and animated Alyx’s arms and hands”
Guess now I’ll try this shït, was waiting for this to happen, as it certainly would sooner or later.
And I thank you for the heads up, Johnny The Perv!
