I stopped caring about how Vinny plays the games a long time ago. It’s a lot better, if I want a more serious play-through I go somewhere else. Vinny is here to entertain us and himself.
If you've ever watched a new person play a game and half-way through the playthrough you realize they're actually being really annoying (ahem pewdiepie's playthrough of detroit: become human) then you know why they bother commenting about it. I know it's dumb, but it's just people venting
Someone is eventually going to make a non-VR mod of HL: Alyx. That and all the assets will be taken and used in other stuff like GMod or Source Film Maker.
yeah and its gonna not work as a result, people can pretend thats the new half life but vr isnt translatable to normal setups. itll be interesting to see nonetheless
@Tiztu VR in this case is a combination of many factors. The visuals(a combination of covering a lot of your field of view compared to a regular monitor, a high frame rate, a wrap around view with the use of head tracking, and fully stereoscopic 3d that gives amazing depth to a scene and gives you a sense of scale) The motion controls(they were a gimmick when the wii came out because they were in an early stage and seen on a regular television. This isn't comparable to special controllers(and headset) that are tracked in a 3d space so your body and hand movements are translated into the game allowing interaction with a virtual world. This is like comparing the flintsone car with an mclarren.) The Audio(This is a big part that gets way less credit than it deserves. The combination of headphones made for binaural audio, head tracking which massively affects how immersive audio feels, and binaural audio make for sound you can't really replicate on a regular setup.) When you combine all of this you get something that isn't really comparable to regular gaming. Every step foward was a gimmick at some point. Stereo sound was a gimmick when it was first introduced. Audio in films was a gimmick as well. The point at which a "Gimmick" becomes a "Feature." is when people figure out how to utilize it. And it very well seems like valve figured it out.
I.... don't know if I've seen Vinny THIS excited when playing a game for the first time. Maybe Breath of the Wild? I don't know. Either way it's great to see him so happy.
Vinny has the same problem here as he did in Black Mesa, where he keeps trying to open the doors without handles that are unopenable every time they appear
It’s what I like to call “explorers syndrome” just trying to see everything the game has to offer, and not wanting to miss a thing, like whenever I encounter a door that Normally can’t be opened during normal play, I like to go back and noclip through to see if there’s actually anything behind it.
I finally got a Vive Pro, I've been holding off playing this specifically so I could have a vive headset because I knew it would be worth the wait. Holy shit, this game is so fucking good. I just wanted to play for a few minutes to make sure my new headset worked and wound up playing for 3 hours.
I wish the spectator mode smoothed out the turning as well. That to me is more jarring than the teleportation since at least with the teleport there's an indication when it's about to happen (the feet).
2:29:10 I'd say a weak 7 on this one. I'm alive and well, isolation kinda sucks but there is no totalitarian interdimensional alien regime raping earth.
Brutal honesty time: I'm never going to buy this and the insanely expensive hardware required for it, so if it weren't for Vinny I wouldn't ever care to look into it.
@@jakeb.3497 Thanks for the tip! That's way more affordable, but it's still around 300 bucks for one game. Maybe when I upgrade my PC next time I'll just factor VR into it, and then I can follow the tradition of playing Half Life years late.
@@CornCarson Nice attempt to flex, but some of us would rather spend $1000 bucks on something that doesn't become obsolete in two years. Just because half the people on welfare have new iPhones doesn't make that a good decision.
I'm just waiting until VR technology is actually good. If you look at how good handhelds have gotten since the early days of the Gameboy, you can infer VR will probably take the same route. The consoles will get easier to use, become cheaper, and be more user-friendly. Might take a while longer than the jump from Gameboy to Switch, but we'll get there.
Quick, find Russel's Vinny streams. Maybe if Vinny sees them ahead of time, he'll avoid doing some of them. We have to do this to prevent the eventual HE THICC: ALYX stream

i see a lot of smartassing in the comments who cares about vinny throwing shit, you can hear how giddy he is over this game its :) like good for him for real :)
I stopped caring about how Vinny plays the games a long time ago. It’s a lot better, if I want a more serious play-through I go somewhere else. Vinny is here to entertain us and himself.
@@mdaily318 who knew games could be fun
@@mdaily318 who watches Vinny to experience games, I want Vinny's fermented experience first through the game.
yeah agree, the most important thing is that he's enjoying his time with the game
If you've ever watched a new person play a game and half-way through the playthrough you realize they're actually being really annoying (ahem pewdiepie's playthrough of detroit: become human) then you know why they bother commenting about it. I know it's dumb, but it's just people venting
1:48:18 Some daaays, you goooo, through the rAAaiin
Some daaays, you feeeed, on a HEADCRAAab
I give half life, not for honor, but for you
STOP CHAMBERING A ROUND FROM THE MAGAZINE WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE IN THE CHAMBER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"It's real..!"
Perfect introduction, Vinny. Really explains how the fandom is feeling right now. HALF LIFE IS BACK BABY.
Not really lmao
hell yeah it is, what a fucking game
Shig Um yeah, especially the ending!
@@TheBearWithOrangeFur The ending is shit,they decided to use time travel paradox shenanigans to connect the dots after Laidlaw spoiled it
Not really. Still waiting for HL3
I like how Vinny just throws shit around. It's so childish that it speaks to me on a personal level.
I did the same thing when first playing vr lol
1:32:11 _"Don't want to waste bullets"_
....as he wastes a bullet 🤣
Ya can someone let him know that each time he pulls back on the slide with a bullet in the chamber, it ejects a bullet
stupid Name they do like 30 seconds later 1:32:45
as soon as the grenade blew uop at 31:17 I got a message that the KMart discord server had closed. one helluva universe we live in
How do you do, fellow non-VR owners?
Fine.
Good, just chilling with my vinesauce buddy
blobbem 😢my pc can finally handle it but my wallet can’t
fine
You’re probably american so dont feel so bad, i’m venezuelan so it is 100% impossible that i’ll ever get to play this game xd
Can't wait for Vance's Mind!
oh hell yeah
It's called Half-Life: Alyx and can be found on Steam for $60.
Someone is eventually going to make a non-VR mod of HL: Alyx. That and all the assets will be taken and used in other stuff like GMod or Source Film Maker.
Have you seen the non-VR mod of boneworks? non-VR mods don't work at all without removing half of the functionality.
yeah and its gonna not work as a result, people can pretend thats the new half life but vr isnt translatable to normal setups. itll be interesting to see nonetheless
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@Tiztu lol imagine being this wrong
@Tiztu VR in this case is a combination of many factors.
The visuals(a combination of covering a lot of your field of view compared to a regular monitor, a high frame rate, a wrap around view with the use of head tracking, and fully stereoscopic 3d that gives amazing depth to a scene and gives you a sense of scale)
The motion controls(they were a gimmick when the wii came out because they were in an early stage and seen on a regular television. This isn't comparable to special controllers(and headset) that are tracked in a 3d space so your body and hand movements are translated into the game allowing interaction with a virtual world. This is like comparing the flintsone car with an mclarren.)
The Audio(This is a big part that gets way less credit than it deserves. The combination of headphones made for binaural audio, head tracking which massively affects how immersive audio feels, and binaural audio make for sound you can't really replicate on a regular setup.)
When you combine all of this you get something that isn't really comparable to regular gaming. Every step foward was a gimmick at some point. Stereo sound was a gimmick when it was first introduced. Audio in films was a gimmick as well.
The point at which a "Gimmick" becomes a "Feature." is when people figure out how to utilize it. And it very well seems like valve figured it out.
Interesting how they got Rhys to change his accent in pronouncing "Vance", to keep in line with the American VAs.
Dolly it's just basic voice direction in the booth, brah.
@@HonestlyJustSomeGuy maybe I play trash, but it's refreshing.
What do you mean?
@@RandomTomatoSoup Russel's VA is a New Zealander and wouldn't pronounce Vance like that.
this. game. Has brought out a side of vinny. I never knew existed. holy shit
Yabba my icing returns
I.... don't know if I've seen Vinny THIS excited when playing a game for the first time. Maybe Breath of the Wild? I don't know. Either way it's great to see him so happy.
Thank you Vinny for giving us all the detailmores.
Mug moment
Its nice to see vinny happy! I look forward to watching more streams
This was kind of magical watching Vinny get lost in the world.
Vinny: I'm gonna turn off subtitles for immersion.
Also Vinny: *tries to shove fork in NPC's mouth during cutscene*
2:01:16 "Look Gordon. A rope! We can use these for pits."
Dr. Coomer?
Hello Gordon! Gordon, I'm hungry!
Where’s your passport?
Vinny has the same problem here as he did in Black Mesa, where he keeps trying to open the doors without handles that are unopenable every time they appear
Same honestly
It’s what I like to call “explorers syndrome” just trying to see everything the game has to offer, and not wanting to miss a thing, like whenever I encounter a door that Normally can’t be opened during normal play, I like to go back and noclip through to see if there’s actually anything behind it.
@@theopinionrespecter4762the thing behind it is that streamers fucking suck at paying attention to literally any game. Comes with the job.
I like when he went over a railing, fell one foot, and fucking died.
Half-Life: Tiny Alyx
I finally got a Vive Pro, I've been holding off playing this specifically so I could have a vive headset because I knew it would be worth the wait.
Holy shit, this game is so fucking good. I just wanted to play for a few minutes to make sure my new headset worked and wound up playing for 3 hours.
When and if VR headsets become financially responible to buy maybe I will buy one just for this game.
I can't wait to play this game in 5 years!
they already are, look at the odyssey+, pretty damn cheap for VR, around $180 is what I paid for it.
@@willowism not worth it just for one game to be honest.
And before you ask yes, I have VR, and op did say "just for this game"
I wish the spectator mode smoothed out the turning as well. That to me is more jarring than the teleportation since at least with the teleport there's an indication when it's about to happen (the feet).
Every time he puts something in his backpack it looks like he's inserting it into is head
I’ve never really play any of the prior half life games but damn, the presentation here is phenomenal
When the valve logo comes up at the beginning I keep thinking it's about to play Metallica.
Me: *Opens a tin of cashews and proceeds to munch*
Vinny: "Crunchy noises in this game so far"
Me: *Slowly puts lid back on tin* "My bad.."
I'VE DONE SOME SCIENCE ON ME GRAVITY GUN. AND NOW IT'S ALSO A REAL GUN. I'VE GOT A REAL GUN ALYX.
2:29:10 I'd say a weak 7 on this one. I'm alive and well, isolation kinda sucks but there is no totalitarian interdimensional alien regime raping earth.

22:19 A missing cat poster, and there's that thing about a cat in HL2.
This video yabbaed my icing
39:28 H E C K into its controls
I thought this was a christian game
Brutal honesty time: I'm never going to buy this and the insanely expensive hardware required for it, so if it weren't for Vinny I wouldn't ever care to look into it.
Ethan I saw a video of this game running fine on a GTX 1050 ti and a wmr headset can go for only about $150-250
@@jakeb.3497 Thanks for the tip! That's way more affordable, but it's still around 300 bucks for one game. Maybe when I upgrade my PC next time I'll just factor VR into it, and then I can follow the tradition of playing Half Life years late.
Not that expensive if you're not poor
@@CornCarson Nice attempt to flex, but some of us would rather spend $1000 bucks on something that doesn't become obsolete in two years. Just because half the people on welfare have new iPhones doesn't make that a good decision.
I'm just waiting until VR technology is actually good. If you look at how good handhelds have gotten since the early days of the Gameboy, you can infer VR will probably take the same route. The consoles will get easier to use, become cheaper, and be more user-friendly. Might take a while longer than the jump from Gameboy to Switch, but we'll get there.
ill be 100 right now i didnt even know it was a different voice actress
Seeing Vinny get legitimately freaked out by a video game is neat... you don't get to see that very often.
Quick, find Russel's Vinny streams. Maybe if Vinny sees them ahead of time, he'll avoid doing some of them. We have to do this to prevent the eventual HE THICC: ALYX stream
Astonishing. Vinny waited over a decade for a new Half-Life, just to spend most of the time throwing props.
Just like half-life 2

"Don't drink the water. They put something in it!"
considering how long ago the script must have been written, the quarantine line is pretty well timed
After finishing the game, i want more! ive just been replaying the game over and over its just so good and fun.
Cant wait for the community content !
45:06 Vinny takes Revenge of the gnome
1:27:56 That impression was pretty spot on. It caught me off guard.
I like how the combine soldier moves his gun as vinny reaches for it
I love how quickly vinny got unsensitized to seeing mauled bodies and weird meat
Valve, my one complaint is that you can't throw garbage. Lost t r a s h man opportunity.
2:34:51 Vinny does a perfect impersonation of a Terraria zombie dying
It's so odd seeing Vinny actually being scared
4:27 Wow guys, spoiler warning! We've only had over a decade to play the games, give us a break! :P
Half-Life: Full Sauce Consequences
How did valve managed to make me feel i'm inside that world, even tho i'm just watching?
They're valve, they provide a masterful starting example of a craft.
@@lazy7279 When they feel like it.
Believe me bro, when you’re inside it, YOU’RE INSIDE IT. I know it looks good now, but the moment I was in it, worth every single penny... Best VR toy, hands-down! ... And Blade and Sorcery occasionally, LOL!
10:53 Duke Nukem Forever Flashbacks
This is the only non cringy playthrough ive found so far, and the official Podcast has vetted for you. Post more plz
Honestly I'm kind of sad that some kid's first exposure to this game will be jacksepticeye or something
@@JacobKinsley My thought exactly. Naturally I started from the top when I searched for gameplay, and Jack was like 2nd or 3rd and I was just like oh jesus i hope they're not all like this..
@@joshuabuilds3051necroposting, but what does the personality of the youtuber have to do with the the viewer’s exposure to the game? I like both of the guys, but one spends the entire stream being unused to VR and playing in Manlet mode, and the other was jacksepticeye.
is this just a case of “wow I really hate jacksepticye” or what’s up?
I just don’t get why people have the innate need put others down
@@HabitualThinkerManlet mode is hilarious lol
