They added a Fast Headcrab but cut it out with the Fast Zombie, stating that it would be too much for the player to experience a fast zombie running towards it out of a corner lol
oh god imagine it leaping right into your face while screaming in full VR.
Fuckkkk no

I really like searching for resin and ammo. VR makes you feel like you're actually ransacking a hidden place. It's fun to just pull random boxes off a shelf and find it hidden.

Anyone else think there's a mechanic that increases the amount of ammo you find for a certain weapon depending on what you use? I used the combine pistol for most of the game in my first playthrough, and got loads of ammo for it, but hardly found any for the shotgun. On playing through a second time, I've found loads of ammo for the shotgun since I've started using it more.

isn't it so weird how she's kinda being a cunty dick to the advisor and didn't immediately get vored by their little tongue? it's almost as if you should be able to have dialogue with combine higher ups / cabs / a fucking RL without their first thought is gouging your eyes out or stabbing them out OF DISRESPECT. oh yeah and advisors have advisor bosses lol

sure you can play your characters differently but not everything is so goddamn cut-throat and dry and everyone is a fucking bad guy like fuck

Tbh I hoped they‘d have just ported Coach‘s face into Source 2 and used him for the Valve guy model

To be honest.
It feels wrong to witness this man's face, his identity was an enigma for decades.
Plus, the idea of seeing his face gives me SCP-096 Vibes

The Valve Guy should be a SCP seeing how creepy he is, I literarily backed off from my PC the first time I saw him turn around in Portal 2‘s intro

I do wonder why VALVE makes so many funny games yet their intro makes you feel like someone is about to kill you lol
Part of the charm in my opinion. It's got a sense of unease and foreboding that I really dig, especially when all other company splash screens is just a image of their logo and some chirp sound effect.

Although the fanmade TF2 variant is still one of my favourites, mostly because of the TF2 remix they put on the theme.

The beer bottles under Russel's apartment window in the trailer are a subtle sign of his alcoholism, which you see Russel attempt to overcome during Half-Life: Alyx.
