If it's nine years you're talking about,then maybe Gabe had another idea in mind.. After 9 years in development,hopefully it would have been worth the wait.
@@Username5322_ It's considered a spin off because you play with another character and different game mechanics. So, it's not HL3, but it confirmed that at least it's not dead.

I hear people say they didnt like most of the soundtrack because it didn't "sound like the half-life they knew" except for the credits music. And honestly, HL: Alyx isn't the Half-Life we knew and it's not supposed to be, but the credits music is kind of that push of "Hey, we're back, Half-Life's back, why don't we get ready because things are just beginning."
@@domino6490 I feel like most people are saying that only because it isn't Kelly Bailey doing the soundtrack. Bailey could've put in bluegrass and rap and people would've been like "Wow this is so Half-Life."

@@afrenchguardsman6121 But Half-Life's writing was subtle, simplistic. HLA is so much heavier on that aspect, so it's easier to notice. I love both equally. Maybe it's the bias of HL2 being my childhood game.

ZideYT2 I’m 5 foot 3, so I’m like... below hip height from him. The glowing eyes and the fact that he just appears in random places, basically jump scaring you if you look around, just makes him super creepy.
triage at dawn is so much better. maybe the nostalgia or because it had been my favorite song for many years. i cant disagree that this song is good... it's actually one of the best soundtracks in a videogame and i can bet that this song will have a special place in the heart's of the people who have never heard triage at dawn.
The music speaks to "moving forward" Half Life has been stagnant, dead in the water, and assumed to be abandoned entirely for hats. This song is an acknowledgement of getting back at it. It makes me cry too.
I can only imagine an Adrian, Barney and Gordon standing in front of G-Man. Imagine a pissed off shephard after being imprisoned in stasis, gordon after being manipulated and losing Alyx and Barney cause he never get his beer from Gordon because of G-Man
Honestly since everyone awaited a new half life game for a decade, they should’ve put in “everyone” or “you” instead. That would’ve made some people tear I know that.
The music plays perfectly to the thoughts of someone who's just finished the game. "Wait what? Oh no.... really? But...? But that's... I always wanted to change the past... but now that I have... Is this better? What's going to happen next? Is there a positive future? What have I done?" Then the HEV suit plays and you get an injection of "It's going to be okay." juice. I love this game.
This game is literally a prequel to half life 2 until the last minute and a sequel to Half life 1 all the way and still left us right where we ended half life 2 episode 2
eh portal 3 was confirmed from the spin off, but i see what you're saying, also please tell me which part did you hear portal because portal sounds less rock and sci fi then this
Holy shit dude, I've played this game like 6 times already and it's so fucking good. This OST is so good that I've showed it to everyone I know. I never thought I would like Sci-fi Techno music, but DAMN.
Doubt it, Shepard was never a part of the story and just an addition by Gearbox. So far they've yet to mention anything from Gearbox's expansions in the lore.

@@sharx2002 yeah, but I think Glad0s would fit quite well in half life, maybe it turns out she is working with the combine, I feel like she'd want to associate with that kind of race
Lore wise they are in the same universe, episode 2 had the borialis. So it will have to happen... But just like the ending of this game.... Guessing how would be futile. It will be nothing we expected, but every thing we wanted.
This is so good. The initial part is melancholic, aligning with my mood of sadness, and then it evolves into a chaotic sequence of drums and guitar bass, which coincide with my anger and excitement. In the end is relief. I feel the full spectrum of emotions through this track. it channels it well.
Blasting those damn combine with the green beams from vortigaunt's energy was awesome. But then that ending turned me into a shell of a man I just was.
honestly im so happy i got to do this as a series, this was one of the most well developed vr game and im such a fan of half life that i enjoyed this game to the fullest, its been 7 months since the last upload of a half life game, maybe i should do the series?
Not going to lie, this game was a masterpiece, Half life 1.5/3 depending on how you see it. At the end of the credits you see the exposition for Half Life 3/4 again, depending on how you see it.
When every that riff plays and the drums start I just imagine Gordon and friends fighting off swarms of Combine. The soundtrack for this game, and any other game in the Half Life series, is fucking amazing.
Maybe I predicted a part of half life 3..-- In the beginning of half life alyx we see a book written by Dr Isaac kleiner (Named :- from here here to there there) . If you carefully notice the colour of the text it will be blue and orange ( colour of the portals in the portal saga ). As the book is about teleportation maybe he is assosiated with aperture science..
