Bonus: it also seems that the episodes have been rolled into the base game. Full details of the anniversary update.
I just finished watching the documentary this afternoon. I already own the game since it released but this is all a great excuse to okay through it again.
I'm so hyped to listen to the new commentary.
Played 15 minutes and it was very intriguing but motion sickness got the best of me and I stopped playing after barfing at the toilet
Cool, but I already bought it like 20 years ago and still have it on steam
[old woman memories mode]
I remember registering my CD key of HL1 on Steam and was surprised when they gave me the expansions for free. Cool, because I didn't have them.
I remember buying The Orange Box on Steam. I remember it because Steam gave me a warning because I already had Portal - it was free at some point. Was a bit miffed when TF2 went free to play later on.
And I somehow still haven't played HL2 on Steam, I think? I played it about 1/3 way on Xbox 360. Played the shit out of Portal on 360 though.
...Think it's too late to get a refund?
They didn't even do refunds back then
So you're saying there's a chance...
Neat, but.
Even HL: Alyx left us with just as much of a cliffhanger as the end of HL2 Episode 2...
“Best I can do I more cliffhangers”

Tyler McVicker and Gabe Follower are saying that HL3 is in heavy development currently. Apparently they even have hired experienced devs from Rockstar, Id Software, Epic Games, Respawn, Sucker Punch and others to work on the game.
I'm skeptical tbh, I feel like VNN has been saying HL3 is in development for as long as I've been alive
Nah this is pretty concrete. There's a flat screen single player game in active development with features being added like vehicle physics, surface temperatures, NPC AI handling for non standard gravity, etc. And there are half life related strings all through it. HL3? Who knows, but it would explain why they actually acknowledged their two anniversaries...
Can the game ve played with controller? Don't judge me, I just prefer controller that mouse + keyboard.
Yes, a part of the update is dedicated to improving controller gameplay.
That's great, I'm going to give it a try. Bet I can make it works on Linux.
It's Linux native
Fuck, I lost it :/
