Are we done killing dogs? Please tell me we are. Anyway, what’s this Vault place, and why do I have a bad feeling about it?

Welp… so much for a quiet life in the sewers. Looks like we’ve disturbed the hornet’s nest, and now the Combine are after us.

Looks like I’ve managed to tame the head tracking problems of PSVR2 with some masking tape and reflective tape all around the room. And it’s much more manageable now (and also I’m probably a little bit more used to it), I’ve finally managed to do a full 4-hour stream in VR this time. I still do experience some occasional head tracking glitches, but looks like now it’s mostly my weak PC to blame, which I cannot really do anything about. At least now it’s more about actually playing the game and not just trying to keep my lunch inside.

And we’re back into the head of Alyx Vance! Killing zombies, dodging headcrabs, struggling with puzzles, and absolutely enjoying the world. It looks stunning, especially the vortigaunt stuff looks absolutely incredible.

I suck so much at aiming, and even the sight upgrade didn’t help. In fact, I think the sight actually makes me less accurate, especially in close distance. Hopefully I can improve my accuracy a bit, because looks like we’ll have much more shooting later.

Something very special for this Gaming Friday: my first proper VR experience live on stream, finally trying out Half-Life: Alyx, which I wanted play ever since I first heard about it. A friend of mine lent me a PlayStation VR2 to try out so here we are, experiencing City 17 from the point of view of Alyx Vance, before she met Freeman in Half-Life 2.

And this looks amazing. The world is very detailed and you can interact with a lot of stuff. Only after watching the VOD myself I noticed that you guys actually see a bit less details in the spectator mode compared to what I see in the VR. I guess that’s because of the HDR or the ability of me to focus my eyes on some distant objects. But in turn you have an advantage: you see the subtitles and the UI that shows my health and ammo. I don’t actually see that. I have to actually look at my left wrist to see the hearts of the health bar and at my gun to see how much ammo is left in it. But that’s cool, I don’t mind. Also, you don’t see the loading screens the way I do for some weird reason.
