yes. I remember the initial fallout over this. hilarious seeing greentext chimpouts. Wish I saved some of them.

So, was Alyx plucked out right there in the vault with the possibility of Gman injecting all her memories, or did he wipe his mind and let her live until she was plucked after closing the super portal, or is it as we saw and we will save an Alyx that never met Gordon but then who helped him? Valve really messed up the timeline with this, loved it tho, except the Strider boss, that was ass

It definitely seems like Alyx doesn't get taken until the moment Eli was meant to die, whether that's because of memory wipe bullshit or multiverse timeline bullshit I have no idea.

>except the strider box, that was ass
can't believe that made it in the final game as it was. all the VR stuff was so fluid and polished and then operated that canon was janky fucking garbage

to be fair having two unkillable monsters show up in a cutscene where you suddenly cant move and brain bug the black science man for a cheap emotional gutpunch was lame as shit anyway

It hurts more when you listen to the developer commentary, they initially had the Strider chase you and be more aggressive and dynamic but testers found it difficult so we got a stationary target that barely attacks even on the highest difficulty, same with the simplicity of the weapons, all their fault, the game was so good and some parts were excellent, incredibly good like Jeff, so fucking good and thrilling.

>>730710687
Yeah, that seems to be the most likely scenario

>reviving
oh nonononono
even Kojima let Liquid rest, even though he wanted him back so bad

they'll never make it even though having a simple plot where you simply fight your way to get alyx back would make a fun game.

Eli needs to be alive so that he can see Gordon fuck Alyx and have a baby.

for what purpose gabe

>>730710687
It's never getting made so it doesn't matter

I don't know why but Gman being able to time travel forward or whatever and take someone was really gay and ruined him. I know it seemed he could do anything before this game but seeing it happen was gay.

Asking Gabe when HL3 comes out so he delays it again rn

Valve kinda forgot that there two advisors at end of Episode 2, not one

dei metrics

People will chimp out but I would like to see Valve make another VR game in the future, since most people using VR are acclimated to it now and aren't using teleport locomotion like mongoloids.

>>730715473
It's the most asinine decision ever. I don't even know why anyone would be excited for the next Half-life when this dogshit writing is what they pull.
