      @Artistic Cat Valve would never risk the player "messing up the audio". I've never seen a single player stand still in this scene. They tend to look around and try to face the direction his voice is coming from, as anyone would in real life. Your statements are contradictive. What is your source on their recording setup?

    This entire final chapter is worth the price of admission several times over. I was in utter AWE while playing this. I was so overwhelmed with emotions at what I was experiencing that by the time I got those Vort powers, I almost had tears in my eyes from sheer joy lol. It sounds insane but the level of immersiveness is just beyond any other form of entertainment I've experienced. Half-Life: Alyx is a top 5 game for me.

      Valve's goal with each half-life game was to revolutionize the industry. That's why the episodes felt a bit bland, is because they didn't really add much to the table.
      Alyx, however, is the best VR game so far, by far, and it wouldn't work at all without the VR part. I heard a theory video a few years back of why half-life 3 hadn't been released, and they said that it's likely because valve wanted to tap into VR.

    alyx was my introduction into half life(i grew up mostly with console games and not many pc games, so sadly the half life games weren't such a big part of my childhood).
    Even if I knew nothing about half life, this game was still fantastic. This was actually a great introduction to the franchise from my perspective, it got me extremely invested in the entire lore. And curiously, that scene with g-man at the very end is so much more impactful when you actually have no previous knowledge of half life lore. It completely subverted my expectations, just suddenly seeing this guy in a suit turn around and manipulate reality like a god, especially not knowing who he is, completely blew my mind.

    Actually, I hope that they cannonize Gordon being mute throughout HL2 as being some sort of mental suppression field around G-Man's agents that prevents them from telling others any details that might give G-Man away and also prevents others from expecting that agent to speak. Then in HL3, Valve needs to hire Ross Scott (of the Freeman's Mind series) to voice Gordon. Maybe it will never happen, but I can hope!

    I just finished and your jar was dropping at the same points mine was lol.
    And that smile when you saw the G-man! Priceless :D
    I predicted HL3 will be VR before Alyx was even announced. But man that ending was so SO satisfying!!!

  • @kaniller4969
    @kaniller4969 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    Boggles my mind how people still debate if HL3 is real after this. It was basically valve revealing that they are working on at least one new HL title featuring Gordon Freeman as the main character

    • @reinux
      @reinux 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I guess because they worked on HL3 and then scrapped it several times in the past.
      I remember when HL2 was announced on pcgamer though, it was just a full page picture of a crowbar casting a shadow in the shape of a 2. My friend and I lost our minds.

    I know man. I had goosebumps on my first playtrough aswell. Seeing Gman on the railing when Eli is pissed gave a message. We have to be patient i believe in HL3 now more than ever. It can even be locked behind Valve Index 2 and I will stil play it no matter what. Many of us are not here today, but we can hope.

    Normally I'd ignore a retcon, but this was brilliant. Use a prequel to change the future ending to an even bigger cliff hanger, and opening the door to a whole new world of speculation.

      There were rumors about a cross-platform PC/VR multiplayer game where the PC player would only ever play as Gordon and the VR player would only ever play as Alyx, but nothing was ever confirmed.

    My theory for the apparition in those rooms is it is a younger G-man. He was a citizen of city-17 who was hired by his employers to go back in time and get Gordon to create the resonance cascade and save him from the destruction of Black Mesa and these rooms and apparitions are his memories.

    He was not to squander his investments, and he is definitely made us see about that...
    mf literally created a wormhole in time and space.
    my theory is that in order to change the events they need to happen first.
    Vortigaunts are 4th dimensional beings, they can stop in time and move forward but can't move backwards, and they see all future event as something that already happened
    GMan is a 5th dimensional being as he can move back, forward and stay still in time (or freeze someone in time), and he has access to the 4th spatial dimension as he can easily step out or move someone to his cool VFX chamber

    So when he was asked to get rid of the combine. He made a copy? I’m inclined to believe that was the original and he went of to try. The remain version was the future version. And he attempted and failed because he employer told him not too. So he came back and said ya I can’t do it. That’s kinda cool

      they definitely will, if they don’t it’d be insanely dumb. aperture had some INSANE technology that literally no one knows about because they were too dumb to use a portal gun for anything other than puzzle solving. if they weren’t led by idiots they would’ve been way more successful than black mesa, but i digress
      point is, the borealis would not only provide potential teleportation without the need to set up a receiver but also provide potential access to aperture labs itself (also why i doubt the whole “50,000 years” thing)
