After rewatching the Episode 2 ending...

[Toup]

What I find unbelievable is that Merle Dandridge never met other voice actors working on the game. And they still pulled this off.

*eli dies*

And that was what Gordon literally thought on that moment.

Fixed!

The ending didn't make me cry, but it is a very, very powerful ending. I would of cried if my wife wasn't in the room.

Get her to play through the games.


See if SHE cries.

The fade to black credits makes it so incredibly effective, I was truly shocked like no game has ever shocked me before.

She doesn't like to play shooters... she prefers racing games and mortal kombat.

Sit her down at the start of HL2 and see what happens. I wasn't a shooter player either. Now look at me.

It's been almost 5 years since the game was released. If you haven't played it in that time then that is your problem

Half a decade ago . . . really puts things into context.

Jesus we have been starved of information.

In anycase, yes it most certainly is a moving scene - although being a moderator I was expecting it from the minute I started the game. Darn spoilers.

Although it was no big secret in itself I guess. Anyone remember at the end of EP1 and before EP2 was released when we all though Alyx would die in the episode?!

How happy we would be if that had happened.. I miss Eli... a lot more than Alyx.

No one saw the alternate ending bonus pop up last year on NYE?

Win.

The ending to Episode 2 did not give me any feelings of sadness, it felt a bit too forced.
