I didn't actually enjoy the combat in Half-Life 2 all that much, but dear god have you made me want to play through it again.
Did you like Alyx in episode 1 at all? To me, she seemed very fleshed-out and alive. I mean, for being a videogame character. There was just something about all the little touches they'd added to her that made her both likable and lovable.

She still suffers from eyes-glaze-over voice and script. Maybe that's the point, I don't know. I think they probably planned to have Alyx more like she was in Episode One, but realized they couldn't get it perfect for any length of time without her coming off as robotic. It's easier to do it with a bunch of nameless citizens.
She was well-integrated into all the events, but I guess I just don't like the character in general. You know you would rather have Dr. Breen be the everpresent NPC buddy. Don't lie. |
I won't lie. But I will say that the way they restrained your horizontal viewable area during the hug Alyx gives you at the start of episode 1 is possibly the best use of the limitations of the first person camera in a shooter I've ever experienced.
