Wow. Another revolutionary step forward in VR gaming. Valve has filled this game with amazing atmosphere and it is really thrilling to be in a virtual Half Life world. I had to pull myself back to real life. As amazing as other titles are in VR, this is the first one I played where I simply wanted to keep going. If you have a VR headset, this is a must buy.

I know we only have a handful of VR bubbas around here, but DAMN! This is one hell of an intense game.

Worth getting as an entry point VR game?

Absolutely. It definitely is the kind of game to justify getting a headset. Without any reservation. I'm warning you though...its REALLY intense.

Ok. Now you have my attention. I have been waiting on a compelling reason to enter the VR arena.

When you say 'really intense' I take it more seriously than when others say it, JH.

I had a similar thought
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Intense as in 'on the senses due to a lot of verticality' or intense as in shock / scare moments?

Intense as in shock/scare moments and atmosphere, which is just totally enhanced by the superb use of the VR platform.

JH, is your headset tethered to your PC or do you have wireless? The only shooter I've tried with my Vive Cosmos is Arizona Sunshine. I had fun but the cord was a constant annoyance. What's your take?

Each of my headsets are wired. HP Reverb, Oculus Rift-S and HTC Vive. The wires don't really bother me.
