Half-Life: Alyx is a Fustercluck (Full Game Playthrough) 

Move forward? They kinda rewrote it. Im confus.

Here's the bigger deal: I think they just used this new VR game as the springboard for Half Life 3.

Vaperius let’s see who finishes a half life 3 first tho because project borealis is still in development

The next game would come out 15 years later as the timeline advanced 15 seconds.

Well, as Gabe and others said in the interviews, it all depends on how well Alyx does in sales and stuff. Provided Alyx has been received excellently so far and that people bought more Index headsets than Valve has anticipated, HL3 is quite a strong possibility at this point

I mean Everyone that has played the rest of the half life games Will tell you that the worst warcrimes in history of mankind had been comitted by THAT crowbar.

That crowbar is one of the most iconic weapons in video game history, right alongside Doom's BFG 9000 and Halo's energy sword. You see that crowbar and you know exactly what series we're talking about and who's going to be holding it.

@@RobMustDie482 To be fair for Halo it's more like the Assault Rifle or the Magnum that's iconic, and for Doom it has to be the double barrel shotgun

@@marci1380 how the double-barrel shotgun is treated as a sort of holy relic to the doom slayer in doom eternal is honestly one of the best things in that game.

@@marci1380 my point is they're iconic. You see them and you know the series they're from.

The Vort you meet cooking is slightly unhinged, but only because he was one of the original 'slaves', hence the metal attachments still on his head. He clearly has been screwed up mentally. The others? More likely just like the ones in HL2.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in water hazard I'm pretty sure there's a secret vortigaunt in a cave that is basically just that one crazy hobo stereotype

ok but real talk i'd be down for a half life lazslo. just make it a weird wacky side adventure that ends in tragedy. do all kinds of crazy stuff in the half-life universe, explore all kinds of story that you wouldn't do with the main characters.

@@kennyfauste6901 Soooo... Half Life: Blue Shift 2?

@@WisteriaDrake Hard liight blue shit

@@WisteriaDrakeBlue Shift 2, the drive out of New Mexico

We will take the time line and PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE

the timeline is sort of the same. gman wants alyx because in the beginning of hl2 e1 gman is not happy that the vortigaunt push him away and Gordon will not help anymore, so now he was looking for someone else to replace him. gman wanted eli to die so that he could use it in the past as a way to persuade alyx to unknowing start working for him. the future is the same just eli is now alive and at that exact moment the gman took alyx into stasis. my guess is after this encounter in this game with the gman her memory of this encounter is wiped and place back to live on the next 5 years until gordon stops cooperating so then she will take his place.

@@TesserLink but is it implied that Gordon refuses to work for gman? I mean the vorts themselves repel the g man away without asking for Gordon's consent. I don't understand how the events of hl2 took place with alyx if she's put on stasis post half life alyx. If she had gravity gloves and did all those adventurous things, then why doesn't she or eli ever mention about that. Also I feel they could've gone into the flashbacks and shown how both eli and alyx were saved by g man. Black mesa incident in VR would've been dope. Also what happens to Russell? Does he die?

Sleeper agent. Sometime after Alyx they find her with memories missing, then HL2 ensues. She activates once her dad *dies*.

The story of HL: Alyx is sort of in between 1 and 2 but the conclusion of Alyx rewrites the story of HL2. In HL2, Gordon was released from stasis to end the Combine's control on Earth. And one of the consequences of that is at HL2:EP2 where Alyx should have died at the mineshaft from a hunter. But the vorts revived Alyx, so the consequences is Eli will be killed. And Gordon refuses to help GMan, which is not good for GMan. So Gman went back in time to lure Alyx in a previous date. (GMan contained) That's HL:Alyx storyline, Alyx said she wants the Combine be gone on Earth and Eli to live, so the consequences is being hired by Gman and Gordon is no longer hired, and placed into stasis or something. Therefore, HL:Alyx rewrites the story. Where the end of HL2:EP2, Eli dies and Gordon refuses to help GMan and makes Gordon let off the hook and placed into stasis or something, Gman travelled back in time to lure Alyx (HL:Alyx story) and hires Alyx to be Gordon's replacement in the HL2 storyline. It's like HL2 never happened, and Gordon never left stasis. Remember, Mark Laidlaw's post on his blog of the what should have been HL2:EP3 story. That screwed Valve on continuing the story of Gordon. So they did Alyx to rewrite the story of Half-Life. Whatever story happened in HL2 and all of its episodic content is virtually non-existent after HL:Alyx. Because of GMan does not want Gordon anymore, as the Vorts is pushing Gordon away from GMan, now it's most likely the story of Alyx.

@@ninjasiren you got it totally wrong. You can see Gordon in the post credit scene from the end of ep 2 and eli knows gman took alyx which means ep2 is canon. What I don't understand is how come both eli and alyx don't mention anything about it. Also what happens to Russell? . I feel the story has not been explained properly.

Dear god......

I want to know how this lines up with known timeline. Did Alyx disappeare after attack of the Advisors? And after going out of prison, did she just forgot events with G-man and rest of the timeline went as it should be?

It's not a paradox though as much as G-man simply flexing on us. He has both perfect prediction ability and time travel. And then the relativity theory comes into play - how can you tell apart a vision of perfect prediction that you chose not to follow and reality that you chose to go back from and change it? For all intents and purposes they are the same.

Yea this is a paradox because if your dad does not die and your hired you are not at the place That he dies at so it would hold no power over you because it would give warning to your past self not to do it and to not use your power

​@@XxPugMasterxX22 not a paradox, because it simply doesn't happen anymore. literally nullified. how can something be paradoxical, if it never even happened? it becomes a split, and with that split, no change in the first timeline can cause anythng from the new timeline to shift, due to them no longer being interconnected by any form of fix-point that would have them reconnect if only for a short time.

Don't forget the seasoning.

Antlion tastes horrible no matter what you do.

And I bet this Ep2 cliffhanger was it that prevented Valve from making the next episode all those years. I've seen that often enough with fanfiction. The more "insane" (aka really good or suspensefull) a cliffhanger is, the less like is it for the writer to continue. Finding a way out of near impossible situations or too drastic plot-changers appears to be near impossible. Or Valve might've found a way to continue the Half-Life story BEFORE they made HL:Alyx. But I'm glad they offered the chance to undo Eli's death.

Well, at this point in the timeline, Gordon is still MIA. There are two people that were known to 'raise hell and disappear', those being G-Man, for sparking this whole chain of events, and Gordon, for, you know, being Gordon. I don't believe that Adrian Shepard would be remembered by anybody short of those few he helped out and that may have escaped, as he never meets any of the main cast. You do raise an interesting point, though; what might happen to Adrian? We know he was Detained by the G-Man at the end of Opposing Force. What that means exactly is unknown. It would be cool for him to have a future role in the Half-Life series.

I mean there was a mod for half life 2 where adrian and surviving G.R.U.N.T. soldiers were hunting gordon and blaming him for everything bad happened to earth

Adrian Shephard exists in the forbidden pocket dimension known as "Legal Limbo." He ain't coming out for a while.

The mod was literally called hunting freeman

@@erictheepic5019 out of the three main characters from half life 1 only Barney wasn't detained by G-man but we do see him later on!

Not really, if someone has any sense for storytelling, the chance of it being Gordon is an incredibly obvious misdirect. When characters are cock sure about a certain outcome, without it being confirmed to the audience in any other way, most of the time it's either true when the story later wants to wank off about how intelligent the main character is (mostly seen it in anime), or more often an obvious and overplayed red herring.

CJ Windows Mixed Reality headsets are a decent budget option for VR, unless most of the issues come from your PC. (IE. Insufficient performance).

Honestly, dont buy it for this game. I didnt progress the story much other than this epic moment. But playing as gordon again. Holy shit balls

Take a used VR-Set from eBay. My Oculus Rift S was about 50 % cheaper than a new set. I got mine just to play this game and I'm really glad I did. I'm on my third playthrough, playing around with the environment mostly, this time. Like trying to find out just how much stuff (grenades, xen-grenades, health-syringes and worm-cans AND the garden gnome) I can carry around by throwing it further down the corridors and picking it up again. when I'm not trying to catch headcrabs with buckets, that is.
