I wish there was a modding category for mainstream game awards or showcases, cause there are some pretty amazing mods made by some really talented people that deserve a spotlight.

As much as I love the classic USP in the thumbnail, the whole reason Alyx's default gun looks like that is so that when she upgrades it, it becomes the gun you see in Half Life 2.

Campaign+ is an awesome mod! I love it! It's funny how there's Zombines because in HL2: Episode 1 Alyx is surprised to see a headcrab on a Combine and even makes a joke which gives the Zombine it's name.

"Who doesnt like it hard?" wise choice of words

I like to use the USP replacement when playing custom maps, though in the main campaign I prefer the m1911 since Alyx has always used a modified m1911 in half-life 2 and it's Episodes so it feels consistent with the lore to use it in HLA since it's implied that the gun you use in HLA eventually becomes the "Alyx Gun" seen in half-life 2.

I think that you are doing a great job featuring so many AAA VR games, counterintuitive they not get so much attention in the VR community and they lead the technology forward after all

its more that they made the experience more advanced than fixing it, valve knows what they are doing, so they probably know best for how they make their own games

I think all games should have mod support, that's what makes a game better because sometimes Devs don't care or aren't aware/don't have time

Having Gunman Contracts enabled and playing the main game or other custom levels actually decreases the enemy health to a "realistic" level, making firefights feel much better.

0:55 There's also "sprint button mod" for it.

I follow VR stuff daily but I still hadn't heard of a bunch of these, thanks for compiling them in a nice video with links!

Every time I play Alyx I remember why I bought VR. It’s truly phenomenal. I haven’t played a game that gave me that feeling since
@CricetoFunni 1 year ago

"As Valve didn't like the feeling of 2-handed weapons in VR" I'm pretty sure it's actually because they wanted the game to be accessible to people who could only use 1 controller. Also, I think calling the video "How Modders Fixed Half Life Alyx" is a bit misleading as these mods aren't really fixes, more so just changes.

The reason why she uses an M1911 is because HLA takes place before Gordon's return. When Earth still had supplies of human weaponry. There obviously wasn't much of a coordinated resistance back then that there is after Gordon's return.

I'm pretty sure the reason that there weren't any zombines in the original game is because in half life: 2 Alyx sees them for the first time, hence the zombine joke

great to learn about the Merciless mod! The way headcrabs and antlions telegraphed their attacks, and the overall ease of combat was my biggest issue with Alyx.

this video is so well made that i've already watched it 5 time over.

Very comprehensive!

Zombines are present in HLA. You encounter them at railway intersection when you go to the generator room to retrieve batteries for operating combine console.
