The Soviet VR Game Problem - Convrgence

Convrgence (if you couldn't tell) is a VR extraction shooter I think. It's kind of like if Into the Radius and Tarkov had a baby. But despite spelling it's name CONVRGENCE it's actually really beautifully understated. It's the dark grimy post cold war soviet loot hoarding gameplay that is so popular right now but just in VR with amazing graphics. Which confuses me because I want this to be my go to spooky soviet VR game now even though Into the Radius is much bigger and more open world. My smooth brain hurts.

6:32 "Into the 2 radius: Diameter" I choked on my drink so bad I almost died. Poetry

it’s a soviet soap at 6:40 and 72% is it’s fatty acids contents. It was used for a laundry, but I heard stories about how good your hair can be washed which this

"guitars and gas masks" is the absolute best name for this genre of games, it needs to catch on

[TooMuchMercy]

Today I learned Habie has never read Roadside Picnic.
Every game mentioned here is inspired by that book.

[mimlord]

Can’t recognize soap? Habie has finally become a true gamer.

Well, Stalker is actually based on a book called Roadside Picnic, though I've not gotten around to reading it yet, so I can't ACTUALLY confirm whether floating Russian objects came from there or not, but it's very possible!

2:05 Read "Roadside Picnic." It's where all this kind of stuff originated. It's slow but really well written and honestly kinda whiplashed me from how good the characters were written. Fucking AMAZING ending. Props to Into The Raidius for the Quote from the book in the loading screen that got me to read it. "Happiness, free, for everyone, and let no one be forgotten."

"In 2 the 2 Radius : Diameter" has to be the single funniest thing Habie has ever fuckin dropped. I laughed so hard my abs cramped. Shit caught me sideways lmao.

[BHBFatty]

definitely my favorite full 8 minute video that i have watched all of

[Tripleflipb]

all 3 of the into the radius 2 jokes made me chuckle, thank you for the funnies, kind internet pig man

[thewheelweave]

I just... It's been a couple of years since i bought my Quest 2, and i was not early to that party. But i think there's still a categorical difference between people who have tried a VR game and gone from thinking "ey this feels a bit odd" to having their brain completely accept a new fictional reality, and then people who have not done any of that.

And there's just no way to bridge that gap with words. Someone has either done that, or they think it sounds fucking stupid.

[piro_agua]

This is quite possibly the best video habie has ever made. Something’s about the humor and tone was just peak habie but also really entertaining. Bravo.

5:26 bro almost pinpointed my exact location in time

[MorkiMoo]

For those who don’t know: Paradox Of Hope got taken down because there is an official Metro VR in development and should be released sometime this year, so I imagine they didn’t want competition.

[maddox]

Always a good day Habie uploads
Also can wait for Into the Radius two two two: Diameter

[snackojack]

We, the human race, will never get enough of roaming a dystopian, upside-down, topsy-turvy Russian themed wasteland.

Cannot wait for Metro Awakening

[whocares]

best time of my life is habie's videos, i dont think about anything else, i just get immersed in the commentary and the game he covers, gives me a break from real life
