i've been look for skilled HL2 for years mostly found glitched speedrun fly-byes I love your chill and skilled gameplay you gameplay also expands the story thanks for posting!
31:27 Isn't it strange while in Gordon's adventure in the Coast, the place is seen as a dried up dead wasteland Meanwhile EP2 sheds light on what's still left of Earth's nature outside from City 17.
Yeah, I loved that stark contrast. EP2 as a whole is definitely more hopeful than HL2, so I liked that they showed there is still something worth fighting for on Earth, and that the Combine's hold is not as strong as we think.
31:25 There's really SOMETHING about a change in environment, from a confined city to an open forest; from an oppressive bubble to a breath of fresh air. Oh, and the citizens can even freely talk here. TFW it kinda rings true even now. Stay safe, y'all; we'll smell freedom again, from co-rona. :^
I just wanna know what happens to those two. The way they talk I always thought it was a couple expecting a child, to carry forth the next generation of the species now that they finally can.
It just dawned on me that striders kinda resemble Japanese spider crabs and dropships coconut crabs. Valve went into carcinisation big time. As is evolution making crabs 5 times wasn't enough xdd
Fun facts about the Combine Elites in the ambush: 1. These are, as far as I know, the only combine elites actually fought in Episode Two 2. They have a dirtied texture, like the regular combine soldiers, but it appears to have been scrapped 3. Whereas in Half-Life 2 and Episode One, they dropped combine ball ammo, in Episode Two, they drop batteries.
@@Sexy_Nutella I imagine that, if combine soldiers had appeared in the strider battle as planned, we would've seen the combine elites alongside the hunters and striders. The combine need to stop the resistance if they want their portal to work: why wouldn't they send only the best?
@@Sexy_Nutella that's what Overcharged tried to do with the White Forest Strider battle, and people hate that mod for how complicated it is. Although they had used a mix of both Elites and standard Overwatch Soldiers. My guess for a lore reason is that there probably aren't a whole lot of Elite Combine Soldiers left after the battle of City 17, or they're being kept in reserve and are only dispatched when needed to act as shock troopers rather than sending in whole squads of them. However they were supposed to appear in the final battle with the Striders and Hunters but the whiney playtesters found it too difficult so they were removed from the battle.
Nearing the end of the playthrough! The next chapter is probably going to be broken down into two parts, considering that the final battle is lengthy in itself.
Love the way Dog comes out and is like "Wreck everything! no one hurts my Alyx!" and..than he backs it up hard. Great cinematic moment. Also..just..great job on this whole walkthrough in general, I've been so into it today I didn't even realize when videos were swapping over, i'll have to go back and like the ones I passed through enraptured :D
I've been watching pretty much all your content since I heard about you from Soup Emporium, and the way you manage to imbue emotion even in these first person controls is incredible. Like, how Gordon normally nods to a command, but at 0:53 he just looks back between the resistance dude and Alyx. "Excuse YOU, don't put words in my mouth" LMAO
Thank you for the video - I never realized (or I forgot back from 2007) that the dropship with Strider was shot down a moments before you get to it. Nice
I would be the happiest man alive if they decided to make Half Life 3 to show off the Steam Deck. I really just want to see officially how Half Life ends
I always felt bad about killing the striders. Like human Combine soldiers they are clearly another conquered species forced to become a synth for the combine. The way they die and scream always bothered me
I personally haven't played MMod so I can't really comment on that. Though many have and they say it improves a lot of "quality of life" things in these games, so I'd give it a shot. Though I'd always play the base game first before trying any mods :)
28:50 q gran pelea entre strider vs dog! 29:30 jajajajaja Gordon le ganó a dog buena carrera! Buena jugada en el cap5 *Under the radar* Sexy Nutella ^^ esperare el siguiente cap👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

No problem! I am glad that you enjoy these videos. I definitely try to make them as cinematic and smooth as possible.

5:10 "QUIT RUNNING YOU LITTLE SHIT!"

I feel like there’s a “GET DOWN MR PRESIDENT” joke to be made here, with the way you flew through the window, but it’s the other way around lol
I got super lucky with that shot tbh, just kinda hoped he would be there hehe :P
I don't know how many times I've played Episode 2 and only this year did I discover the Hawaii quote. Couldn't stop laughing.
The "beaches, babes and waves" part always gets a laugh out of me.
@@Sexy_Nutella WAIT , WHAT?????
Edit: ooooh ill get it
10:28 oh look it’s the aperture science aerial faith plate
haha, nice comparison!
“We have liftoff in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...”
Must be an early prototype.

I loved that little sequence, the vista is beautiful but also thematically liberating like you mentioned.
@@Sexy_Nutella Imagine that same view, in VR, in Sorse 2 graphics. I'm ready to stare at it for hours and just crie.

I think you may be right; I don't think there were any Elites in Our Mutual Fiend

@@JustAGamerPerson Yeah, I really do think it was a missed opportunity. Perhaps someone can mod them in

“So is that your boyfriend? "
Me “No, please take her!"
I am very impressed by your gameplay. You are really making the game look its best.
Glad you enjoyed :)

GaMMa How much would it cost to get better internet

Adam Baldwin (John Casey) does some great voice over here.

Yeah, the narrative is the biggest draw for me. I want answers!
13:28 oh, she loves him
I think it's definitely implied
Like a human brain and awsome episode +1
