[Spoilers] Half Life 2 End

[empty]

Well, just completed hl2 and aside from the wow im currently experiencing im a little confused. I dunno if i missed something but is alyx ok?! Whats going on argh!!! sucha great game, i need more!!

i love her!

P.s mods, i made this thread so that people can discuss the end of the game without spoiling people in the definitive thread.

[Apex.]

clocked it at 13 hours gameplay, died about 25 times. Fantastic game from start to finish. Ending rocks, totally caught me by surprise aswell. Not gonna go into full detail but the GMAN is baaaack... and if and when your time comes again, he will make a decision for you.

HALF LIFE 3 - ETA: When it's done!!

[Jase]

so they kinda copied halo 2 did they, is it like a cliffhanger, oh and what happends?

im buying the game from stores tomorrow and i like to know the end before i play it :p

[empty]

i think i took about as long, such a good game. the only problem i had was when it ended, i really wanted more to happen :( Ive never made such a loud OMFG in my life then when you find out what the blue gravity gun does ;)

Cant really copy a game thats released around the same time... company spies emailing game info from bungiee to Valve :whistle:

games can take years to make, so by the time halo 2 was out Valve changed the ending of half life 2 in less than a week ;) yea right

[Dixon]

You guys are amazing... I have never ever FINISHED any game...

I have HL2 and I think I will be lucky to make it off the first level after months of play!

I am very impressed with anyone who gets to the end of the game!

[empty]

man, if you own the game you will find it impossible to stop playing. i was 100% hooked, easily the best game ive ever played.

ah well I just finished the game on all 3 difficulties to see if the ending changes, and it doesn't. A little disapointed but leaves it open for 3. But man I was expecting a little more, like all the hints at time travel and what not. A better ending, more of what I was expecting would have been for the gman to stop what he does and enlighten us on the future (where he is from guiding freeman) and how this is going to show humans the way to time travel. Then going back and stoping alyx from going upstairs, would have been great. I was hoping to see that as the end, but guess I'll wait till 3.

yeah.. i found the plot to be very lacking, considering the hype around it i never really noticed much until the last 2/3 levels.

[G_0]

I actually thought the plot went along real good, but then the end was, well, the end..... I was hoping since this was like staring in a movie there would be a last hurrah we could sit back and watch, then again thats not really half life's style.

[sime27]

[Civilian]

weeeee completed it in about 15hours (on normal)

now to wait for TFC:Source and sven co-op 2

[Tim Dorr Veteran]

Merged.

[Varsity]

Yeah, I just finished it. 12 hours for a very experienced gamer - well worth it! The ending was a great and I found I really did care for Alyx. The pose is just so perfect! :D

The storyline is great, but it's doesn't exactly pan out like most do because everything must be told from Gordon's perspective and from where Gordon is. Go at it with an open mind and see if you're still disappointed. ;)

[empty]

yeah i agree varsity, i was genuinely concerned about alyx, its just weird but when shes petting dog and when she smiles you smile as well. what a game.

[Razorwing]

you ppl have too much time on your hands.. literally! :laugh:

I just finished the game. Boy, I really wish they told us who the G-man really was. Who really knows maybe he's god. He certainly seems to be omniscient

I foundthat I also cared about Alyx especially when she went up on the roof too see if there was any other place to go. I screamed No and felt bad that i could not shoot the idiots on the roof

[kalizar]

yea i finished it just now as well.... to tell the truth i absolutely loved the story. it kept me hooked, and kept my bloodpressure up the entire time :D. Around 12 hours here... 8 yesterday when it was released, and 4 today when i got home from work. What's takin HL3 so long.... jeez! :D

[asdfvawerafd]

finished it in 12 hrs on hard - and was that worth ?35? nope. no multiplayer and the worst ending ive ever seen after 6 years of their work, do they expect us to wait 6 years for an ending worth its salt? half life 1 was the best game ever, but a lot of people forget that the last few levels were awful and the ending was dreadful. half life 2 could have been so much more, yet they chose to end it on another terrible note. it might have worked in a book, but it doesnt work in a game which is already a sequel.
