@sanderozone:

"increasing budget to upgrade PC"...what? PC gaming has never been more affordable than what its been the past 5~6 years. I built my first rig when 100MB of RAM cost $100.

I have a 7 year old i5 3570K running at default clocks and it exceeds Valve's VR recommendation. It's paired with a used GTX 1070.

If you buy used GPU's...and maybe resell the old one, minor upgrading is quite cost effective.

@txuzai:

Classic PC cases are rectangular, not elongated cubes.

@G-Corleone:
People are happiest when they're complaining.

Make it too small and everyone complains that it's noisy and runs hot.

Make it larger with presumably larger fans, and people complain that it's too big.

No problem with the design here. My PC lives in a "Phanteks Evolv Shift" case; very similar upright design. Though I will say mine is quite a bit more attractive :)

Been saying this about online-only games for some time now, back when Evolve and Titanfall released. Today's games are nothing more than disposable, long-term rentals.

If you must buy an online-only game, buy it at a HUGE discount; and for god sake, don't dump a sh!tload of money into useless DLC.

@bigbluebustn:

I would suspect HL3 is likely going to happen.

This is probably Valves way to get people back into the franchise, some for the first time. Also, VR isn't exactly cheap, so this release should help to expand VR ownership.

I know personally, I've been largely ignoring VR until I heard of this release. Alyx is likely a Proof of Concept before HL3.

@Super_Colossus:

4 Days late? I'll be waiting 6 months for the Steam release. All my other BL games are Steam, so as much as I like Epic....I'll wait.

Console games I almost always opt for disc given the option. Even some PC games that are highly online oriented I will buy on disc if possible.

Nintendo Switchless

Did anyone ever really consider the Switch a "Console" in the first place?

@Mogan:

Copy-Paste from an article makes the most sense doesn't it? Sorry, I wasn't going to retype it just to please you.
