"...our true sustenance awaits us among the stars" at 06:14 sounds more eerie considering the ending of Epistle 3. I know, that is not canon anymore, but who knows what parts of it might actually be incorporated into the canon, if ever there will be any? Anyway, it is of note that the Combine turns out to have a Dyson Sphere. And the Dyson Sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that utilizes a star's power output for, well... sustenance...
A part of me is sad that we aren't going to get the Dyson Sphere ending from Epistle 3 (or maybe...who knows what Valve will do after the retconned ending of EP2), but I guess we also have Project Borealis for that.
@@Sexy_Nutella It's something I dunno as well, because we don't even know what's going to happen at all. What will they do with the Borealis? Are they still going to destroy it or not anymore? If they will actually end up using it, what will their priority be at this point? The Combine who might get a hold on Earth again or G-Man who has a hold on Alyx? Should they prioritize one, the other will be delayed, and either way the consequences will be immense. We may or may not get see the Dyson Sphere in one way or the other, or not at all. But DAMN do I need to see it in action--without it breaking Source 2, of course. Hehe. And yes, my body is ready for PB. Epistle 3 may have ended with a sort of Lovecraftian cliffhanger, but it was a way of closure while we all waited anyway, and so it's still dear to us even after having been necessarily retconned.
"Are all the accomplishments of humanity fated to be nothing more than a layer of broken plastic shards--" 03:43 Not as broken as your Breen Screen, Doc.
Now this is one of my most favourite chapter right here..I didn't get tired of playing it..I play this chapter everyday, if you ask me what is my favourite chapter in Half Life 2 i'll always say "Anticitizen One"
My second favourite is RavenHolm. I love the creepy atmosphere, you can sometimes hear a girl screaming, poison zombie moaning. And i almost forgot about Father Grigori, he is my favourite character in the Half Life 2 series. I wish he appear more rather then just appear in RavenHolm. If Half Life Alyx 2 ever comes out, they need to bring back Father Grigori, but the voice actor died.
I am using the mod "Half-Life 2: Update", which mainly updates the lighting and fixes a bunch of bugs across the game. It also moved the locations of some Lambda caches, and npc positions, as shown at your timestamp.
I believe this is 2007 (Orange Box) updated version of the game from Valve on max settings. They somewhat improved lightning, anti-aliasing, reflection's and maybe something else. Steam version of the game should also have these updates.
Who would have thought watching a let's play could be so much fun. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks! I'm glad that you're enjoying this :)

Hard Fought goes so well on these scenes. Man I love it.
Yeaah, it's really fitting

Breaking all Breencast monitors is a requirement in this game ;)
@@Sexy_Nutella This should be an achievement in itself. "Breaking Breen" kekekeekekek
2:52 here comes the enemy that barely anyone talks about
Haha. Shield scanners! Cool design but super annoying in this chapter to shoot down.

My personal favourite is Water Hazard :)
It's because of the airboat, right?
Yeah haha and I really like the pacing of that chapter, and how the sun got lower and lower as the chapter went on

@@monolith8718I think they got another voice actor to play eli in half life alyx so they will probably replace grigori as well

Haha, I wish!
10:49 - as I remember, those two were under collapsed underpass, not in the basement.
Are you using some mod or it's just updated version?

@@Sexy_Nutella oh, thanks a lot for response.

Don't think a password's really needed in that case lmao
i also need help on this chapter in the factory when i was at 1.20.57 time of gameplay
how did you make the game look so good? what are your settings?
I believe this is 2007 (Orange Box) updated version of the game from Valve on max settings. They somewhat improved lightning, anti-aliasing, reflection's and maybe something else. Steam version of the game should also have these updates.
@@ReasonX3Its literally just the Half Life 2: Update
