    Hey, I’ll take anything over being stuck on the cliffhanger of Eli’s death for 20 years, and wrap up the whole Combine story as best as possible.

        A game 90% of people can’t play.

        Should have left the main narrative alone.

          “i haven’t upgraded my pc since 1990, it’s not fair they released a game on 2002 pc specs!”
          is what you sound like.

          Should they not release new games on new consoles too because you only have the old ones?

            Hardly. HL:A is the only game that would interest me in the slightest on VR platforms. No “upgrade” involves buying a dead end platform for one game.

          I’ve heard there are mods to play it on a flat screen. Obvs you’d lose a lot of the experience, but that would be a way to get the story.

          If possible, I recommend giving Alyx a go, even if you have to borrow a headset, visit a friend, arcade, ect.

          Not an option for everyone of course, Alyx aside VR is fun and while the entry requirements are getting lower it’s still a leap.

          Valve will probably summarise the main story change in HL3, which will be a very WTF moment that’s kinda on brand with the scenario.
