It was a lot of fun playing this on the Quest 2 wirelessly. One of the best VR games out there.
Yeah, so dead. 3D TV was a fad that lasted maybe 3-4 years before going (mostly) defunct. VR has been constantly growing and going on 10 years with tech that keeps getting better. gtfo.
This is one of the best games ever made. It's on my short list of greatest "entertainment" products of all-time. An absolutely fantastic game.

This. The mod community continues to make campaigns that either continue the storyline or create new standalone game concepts like Gunman Contracts.

If you dont have this yet this is a no brainer! First the base game itself is awesome and well worth it but then there are tons of add on and custom mods that you can play for free. Best value in all of VR in my opinion.

I haven't done anything other than just test out desktop mode with AirLink. How's the latency? Was planning on jumping back into Arizona Sunshine with my friend (haven't played since 2018, when I had Rift).

If latency isn't too bad, I think I might pick up Alyx. Heard too many good things about it. Smilie

Wow, loved HL back in the day. Been out of the gaming computer game for a while, what kind of video card would I need for this game? I'm currently running video graphics of the processor.

I'm a big half life 2 fan and been wanting to play this but felt the cost of vr was too high. I am just now dipping my toe into vr with PS VR2. Hoping I will eventually get to play it on PS5

I think you just connect your PC to the same wireless router as your PC (recommended PC be connected via ethernet).

You'll need to download the Oculus App on PC and login. I merged my Oculus with Meta. Unsure how this works if you haven't done that yet.

On the same Quest2 settings page (right side), you should be able to connect via Quest Link. From there, you gain desktop access to your PC, where you would lauch PC VR games.

That said, depending on how your PC/Network is setup, you might have to toy around with it and there may be a process to link AirLink to PC, but it was fairly straight forward when I did it last

You need a USB 3.0 to USB C cable or you can use airlink included under beta settings and play over home network. I have google nest wifi and can play wireless anywhere in the house with almost no buffering. PC is connected to network by ethernet cable not wifi.

It is not, it just needs to evolved of what it is now. I just wish PSVR2 gets it. Then I would buy one.

I bought the game but not the hardware
Then Facebook - erm - Meta raised price of Quest
For price of Quest 2 I could get a 6700xt
After Alyx I dont see anything else interesting
Games have gone south - lots of fruity colorful bling games like on android.
Elden Ring looked interesting until I saw combat (looked like the hokey Batman key mashing Batman games)
Guess I'll wait until Alyx 2.0 to get the rig
