Хотя бы здесь я могу почувствовать себя женщиной
incredibly cool game! looks and feels insane in vr!
Honestly I think this is one of the highest pinnacles in video game history. The presentation is simply incredible, with a constant stream of memorable areas that are so cleverly designed to make the player feel a certain way. The use of the Russell's as a game mechanic is unparalleled, and the plot is elite. After playing this, many other shooters feel literally flat. You're just pressing buttons on your keyboard, instead of turning door handles, throwing grenades, and picking up ammo with your hands. I cannot recommend this game highly enough. 11/10.
无愧是最负盛名的VR游戏,大几年前的圆梦进度+1。 [i][b]射击手感爽[/b][/i],本来就是vr,第一视角沉浸拉栓打药的体验确实是PC不可及的。 [i][b]人物和敌人更爽[/b][/i],猎头蟹僵尸联合军和一些特殊生物,比如jeff这些生动的样子,各自的机制和关卡设计都下了功夫,试过了,你头上戴个铁桶真的可以防猎头蟹咬。 [i][b]精致的场景纹理和巧妙的物品互动最爽[/b][/i],拿着一瓶啤酒可以看到里面气泡翻腾,晃一晃还能出沫子。 [strike]解密和恐怖内容不爽因为我是个笨蛋还胆小[/strike] 总之流程不长,但不乏惊叹,如果你很好奇一个VR游戏能带给人多少惊喜,这款游戏值得你用十来个小时体验(胆特别小的除外)
Immersion so good you'll forget what reality looks and feels like. With suitable haptics for every touch, you can get lost in City-17 like it was your own hometown. You'd be missing out if you played with the no VR mod, as you can genuinely feel every shot you take at an enemy combine, zombie, or antlion. If you have a VR headset, this is a must-buy. Not to mention, it has a thriving workshop scene, so if you've ever dreamt to be Alyx Vance using a bow to shoot an explosive barrel with headcrab zombies crowding it, you can! Honestly, I can't recommend this game enough, you can tell a lot of love was put into this game, and if you still aren't convinced, may I add that it has gnome chompski? That loveable gnome that you carried through the streets of left 4 dead 2 and white forest from half-life 2 episode 2? Yeah, he's here now, and he's surprisingly not as annoying to carry as a lot of people say, I say this with a gnome run under my belt. Are you convinced yet? Well, you better be once I tell you that there's new friendly faces you'll be meeting, new combine you'll be facing, and new xen flora and fauna you'll be struggling against during your journey. It's honestly so cool how big the worldbuilding is for this game, how every beer bottle has a liquid simulation inside, every animal and plant reacting how they would if you were to see them in real life, and all that with surprisingly low requirements for specs. Might I add that almost every interaction has been accounted for? For example, when you're planning your journey, your companion will react accordingly to what you use as a stand-in for yourself. Now, are you ready to play? Because I would be.
I was happy to play as a floating-hand boss for the first time.
不错,通关的第一款VR游戏,有些意犹未尽
买VR除了玩VRchat就是玩这个的,玩HLA之前我对VR的印象几乎没有,玩过一次VR,感觉VR里面的游戏不是那么好玩,7月10日,VR到了后,趁着HLA打折入手了。 刚进去的阳台效果震惊到我了,起源2+VR自由身体感觉太妙了,我可以随意把玩椅子,马克笔,瓶子和腐烂的苹果,甚至还可以随我的手扔出去。 游戏里面的大部分门都要自己拉门把手,有时候真感觉在拉真的门,可以左手拿着杯子,右手开门或者做别的事情,这是我玩惯了Source引擎只能用键盘E键虚空拿起东西的人第一次感觉到很自由又有趣,甚至都差点忘记了推主线。 到了电梯部分,按下按钮,电梯门打开,迎面而来的是两个我从未见过的粘合军,当他们用枪指着我时候,心头一惊,差点以为自己真是这alxy。从监狱车到罗素基地的过程充分展现了起源2+VR的效果是如何,看惯了起源1的神必光影和没有感觉的材质,HLA差不多可以成为艺术品了,墙面凹凸不平,肉眼可见的,当我动物品时候那实时光影立马正确地与建筑物阴影融合在一起。 拿到了重力手套,游戏变得更有趣和锻炼性了,我需要不断甩手来拿到远处东西,当我拿到了手枪,马上摆出COD的检视,虽然我玩过一次枪战VR,但是这次我可以随意操控枪械,枪套想拉就拉,弹匣想不想装都随我自己。 除了解谜太多和太吓人之外(其他都非常优秀 满分10分我给(大于2小于4)0分
yeah
