Rocky Puglisi i don’t understand what you are saying do you mean the ending for p2 is in a fake enviroment? Because there is a free mod with that in mind called thinking with time machine
Same with Left 4 Dead 3. If you're thinking about Team Fortress 3, TF2 doesn't have any endings and also it's an online game. Half-Life: Alyx is a prequel to Half-life 2.
hes probably the inverse of the Breen Theory that Breen has become an advisor to sense the Advisors "universe" I Think Gman is one advisor/or something worst that was "imprisoned" in an human body. Even the way hes always uncomfortable with the tie may be indicating this
The ending of Episode One DOES NOT get talked about enough. It’s always been one of the most jaw dropping endings in gaming history for me, to think of the scale of the explosion, and of the Citadel, being completely destroyed and taking the whole city with it. Gets the goosebumps raised every time, to think also how close Alyx and Gordon could’ve been to not making it out alive. Never mind advancing gaming technology, it’s the mind blowing set pieces of story like that, as to why Valve remain my favourite game developers.
Manio 4 Gaming Hate to break it to you but my second favourite is Naughty Dog. As for CDProjektRed, I haven’t played any of their games, dude, The Witcher isn’t really my kinda game, but Cyberpunk 2077 looks pretty fun.
Yeah, like all of the other potential employees who didn't get accepted, he was thrown into stasis until G-Man decides otherwise. And when I say "otherwise", it means killing Shepard.
I love on how the “2007” thumbnail in this video shows the Alyx’s ending but with the HL2 Eli model, possibly representing the timeline change (meaning that the ending where Eli dies never happened in the first place) Or maybe could simply be a coincidental error.
imagine valve doing an update to half life 2 episode 2 where you play it, but instead of eli dying he lives, leading us to not the epistle 3 ending and we get the actual half life 3 ending
@Mr. Bonnie Bon Valve did change the ending of the original Portal in the lead up to Portal 2’s release, imagine them doing the similar to HL2:Ep2 to reflect the change of timeline. I imagine that the revised ending could have looked like this: as Eli gets captured by an Advisor, all of a sudden there would be large green beam coming out from nowhere (which is actually from the young Alyx under supervision by the G-Man), releasing Eli as it kills the Advisor. Alyx would fade out or teleport away in process.
It's so cool that they've managed to keep the logic in the series. Eli is well aware of the G-Man, he knows that Gordon also has a connection with him, and the next game (hopefully HL³) will be set to either aquire the portal gun and go after G-Man or... Just go after G-Man? The only thing that weirds me out a little is that Alyx, supposedly, was snatched into the void 5 years prior to the events of half-life 2, episode 1 and 2, which means the entire build up to this moment of Eli's salvation should be void of Alyx's presence. Unless vortigaunts with their mind living outside of the flow of time tipped Eli off on the situation... And yet, the Dog is still there, Eli speaks of Alyx as if she was just there... I wonder how this will work out...
I think the G Man removed Alyx from the timeline at the end of Ep2, not HLA. Otherwise, Eli wouldn't be so suddenly angry about it. I think he took her when she killed the advisor.
Re-watch all G-Man speeches again and you will understand. But in short, what happens in the end of ep 2 was planned so G-Man could hire Alyx in Gordon's place...
I think now I get it... Back at the Black Mesa G-Man provided the crystal to Eli, but he warned him about the cost... Eli thought he'd outplay him, but ultimately failed. What happened next is the following. G-Man allowed Alyx to step in, letting her embody her future-self and save her father. Then he "hires" her. Her memory will be wiped, she will live through every event happened in HL2 and episodes and she'd be snatched right after "sudden awakening" of her powers that save Eli at the end of alternate Episode 2. Her subconscious wakes the memory of what was the cause of that right before she's put into stasis. I think that sounds... Somewhat solid...
22:42 It would've been an even better ending if either the screen cut to black and you could hear combine dropships, or if you could see combine dropships in the background.
@@porkyxd8245 what you said (to the op) yeah, that would've been cool but i'd rather have that with blue shift, because the 7 hour war, happens just after half life, as soon as the nuke goes off at black mesa, suddenly every single thing in the known universe knows where earth is. like it'd show you in the back seat of the black mesa car and then you look out the window and and you see black mesa get nukes and a few seconds after the dust clouds settle, a combine gunship just flys through the smoke and head towards civilization
I don't think so, Half Life and Portal happen around the same time but Portal 2 happens from 30-500,000 years after HL2, so the Combine are long gone either way. And I prefer Chell being free after all she's been through, much like Gordon is free from G-Man's contract by the end of Ep 2.
well it shortly continues with hl:a when alyx kills the advisor saving her dad and creating the new timeline but the original where eli dies is either lost or discontinued
It is the Mother of all Cliffhangers, it's feels like part of you is forever missing mysteriously for unknown reason and desperately waiting for continuation
@@NiCoNiCoNiCola 2 years late but well better answer than don't, race car (in this case a nascar race car) doesn't have any back seat at all in fact they only had one seat for the driver
I will forever feel sorry for Wheatley. It’s clear that the Glados body can corrupt the mind of the user. I mean just look how quickly he changed when he was in the body. He even apologises in space, he had nothing to lose so I’m going to say he actually regretted what he did.
I just admire the literal demoralization that Eli is having as he witnessed Alyx being taken away by Gman It's so surreal and humanizing, the level of distraught and fury that he's boiling for himself during that moment, it was an award itself
Imagine if the Halo CE and Halo 2 cutscenes were made with HL2 graphics :o The reason why I say this is because the facial expressions and animations are amazing for a 2004 engine
It starts with one One thing, I don’t why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To explain in due time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It’s so unreal Didn’t look down below Watching the time go out the window Trying to hold on, but didn’t even know I wasted it all just watch you go Watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried It all fell apart What it all meant to me, will eventually Be a memory, of a time where I tried so hard I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter One thing, I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I explained this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I’m surprised I got so- Got so far Things aren’t the way they were before You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me in the end You kept everything inside And even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There's only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There's only one thing you should know I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter
I don't know man, the original half-life 2 ending was much more dark and alluring, really left me on the edge of my seat. The only reason why the combine kept us around was because we understood portal technology, and as soon as the combine found out. We would be destroyed. In the original HL2 ending, this meant that when Eli had his mind read and assimilated into the advisor (Shu'ulathoi) knowledge. This meant that the entire resistance was without a leader, the combine would soon destroy the human race, having no importance for them aside from maybe keeping them as slaves, and the borealis would be used as a teleport launching ground for the combine to take over the rest of the universe.
They do actually set up a story for a possible half life 3 in alyx, which is very surprising. I doubt there will be one, but if there is, they set it up nice.
Eli Vance didn't die. Because G-Man returned Freeman to the world, and Alyx got lost. So yeah, he returned Gordon and Eli back, and they must find Alyx and she got lost. Half Life 3 coming soon guys.
The sacrifice ending had secret ending, which it reveal bill crawling to power engine and died, but it didn't give everyone secret expect some people, bill can be found in the passing, as many people know where bill is
I have a strong theory about the ending without the time traveling thing : After half life alyx ending alyx was replaced by someone that looks like her or maybe the G-man himself and I believe it's the G-man mimicking her that's why you see him walking after what happened to Eli and because it's the G-man he can't die so easily what you see is all connected to what we see. Eli is not dead neither Gordon, G-man or alyx it's the G-man plann to free himself and complete his plann
Someone like Gman can't be stopped by simply putting him in a prison so easily and not even the Combine could stop the Gman, Gman let himself get captured while in the prison he is gone doing some business for everything to work perfectly and goes back until Alyx releases him
I can't get over the fact how the turrets in portal 2 just stare blankly at you while you leave the facility and the green turret in the back does not help
Honestly, despite half life alyx ending on, another cliff hanger, its by far the most uplifting, giving us closure that, we are going to kick some fucking ass
With no knowledge of half life I played through half life Alyx blind and it felt amazing because I knew nothing and it was an amazing learning experience
The thing why i love portal 2 ending is because it's intense (music,you almost dying in space,shooting a portal on the moon etc.) I would love a new portal game portal vr Like half life alyx
I think I’m the only person to cry because of hl2e2 ending because as far as I saw blind let’s plays, no one wasn’t even sad. Just in case, I’m not really fluent English speaker so there might be big mistakes, sorry
@@kubiborglar Laaaaaaaaaaate response. but there was this dad that recorded his kid playing half life ep 2. and when he reached the end and the dad told him there were no more half life games the kid cried
