>turning Alyx into just another Half-Life game
The whole game was designed around VR, and the slow pace and having to reload by hand are a big part of it. Alyx is borderline survival horror, and that clip looks like HL2 with a new coat of paint. At least keeping the slower pace would've kept from completely breaking the game.
It's at least nice to see that modding is already started though, and mods using those weapons should be pretty nice if someone can manage to get them to actually work in VR.
