Seems like the state of emergency just got extended for another month here.

Well, the cable is annoying, but I've never gotten to the point of it tangling and me falling lmao

I think a big reason as to why it gives off Portal 2 vibes more than Half-Life is due to the constant dialogue between Alyx and Russel which is similar to Wheatley/GLaDOS in the sense that there's always someone talking to you throughout the entire journey. For me, this duo dynamic felt more similar to Firewatch's Henry and Delilah.

Another thing that plays into that Portal 2 feeling is the use of music, especially the dynamic aspect of it. Half-Life has always been similar to something like Samurai Jack, where you have long moments of background noise being punctuated by music at key intervals. Of course, the fact that Kelly Bailey hasn't worked on this was heard throughout. Music definitely feels more Portal 2-like, with a clear contrast when they use the old hl tracks now and then.

However, I would say it made up for those aspects with the more horror-like experience and macabre depictions of Xen and combine. That was very much in line to what we've seen in previous Half-Life games, maybe even more than in HL2.

But deep down we all know what it was truly missing...

I managed to get the following in that order:

Pistol - 1. Reflex Sight (10), 3. Burst Fire (20), 6. Bullet Reservoir (30)

Shotgun - 2. Autoloader (30), 4. Grenade Launcher (40)

SMG - 7. Reflex Sight (15), 5. Extended Magazine (30)

So that's... 175 resin that I collected

Wireless would be a significant step forward to increasing comfort and making it more appealing to people. I can live with blurry image as long as I don't have to battle with the cable

A damn fine game so far! They've gone beyond my expectations. And it's going to give hl2 modders so many ideas to work with.

Yeah, it definitely doesn't suck. Let's say it's a bit of a different take similar to how Doom 3 was.
