Kek imagine waiting 15 years for that
half life 2 had time travel whats the problem
Gman sent gordon X years into the future, now gman did the same to alyx
poorcel cope never ends baybay
>gman captured by combine
Stasis isn't time travel
AND spending $1000 just to play it
>DUDE IM BASICALLY GOD LMAO
The problem is undoing the climax of episode 2 and the most striking moment of the series up to that point: one of the resistance leaders and Alyx' father was dead, but now he isn't and presumably could be saved from any death in the future. The same goes for Gordon.
The problem is you're looking for anything to complain about. No matter how it ended you would've complained because you are poor and coping. We get it.
stop posting here you colossal faggot
In the HL2 level "Entanglement" you time travel a week into the future using the teleporter machine.
you're not gonna got those $ back by shilling pal
seething poorcels lmao go back to reading your Qspiracies
user they saved eli
but at what price
alyx is gone. and she is a pawn for gman now
you probably going to have to kill her now
for free lmao
Get used to only getting freebies poorcel
I don't understand this poorfag "argument". Just because I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on shit that I don't find apealing doesn't make me poor
get used to waiting for games paypig
Remember when Yas Forums roasted your ass to death so now you spend your time here
Well what the fuck were they gonna do? They basically have to rewrite the series going forward because Laidlaw basically ruined everything, its also known that he was actively speaking to the HL:A writting staff answering their questions so he probably helped them basically rewritting the series going foward from Episode 2
time, doctor freeman?
>Die before Gordon can give you grandkids
>Come back from the dead
>Still can't have grandkids
I don't really care any more, I was hoping for something more meaningful or interesting in this story, instead they undid the old ending and put the focus on Alyx being the new objective, rather than the fate of the Earth and humanity. It's like the difference between old Star Trek and new Star Trek; there's no consideration for what makes sense, just what seems cool.
Why is the voiceacting so shit?
gman doesn't have that spooky ambiance, he's just a dude with a weird way of talking reciting lines now. What happened?
How does it make you feel knowing there won't be a sequel and this was just to sell the index?
Yup this is going into my filter list.
sound guys from hl2 are all gone i'm pretty sure
Why should I care about any future story developments when someone down the line can just undo it because they think it would be too hard to write with what they have to work with?
They didn't take Steve Blum back for some reason.
>potentially great thread
>have great insight about this game
>about to post them
>worried that this faggot would prune the thread
>reserve my ideas in case someone would make a thread like this in the future without him in it
Fuck you faggot! burn in hell
More like slime travel
This dude gets it Time travel memery ruins every fiction it touches 90% of the time because :
> it makes moot most of the plot tension because you can always assume shit could be fixed in a simpler way
> nothing is definitive anymore
What it means, in theory, now, is that characters dying is meaningless and can potentially be reversed if needed. that or any bigger event, just go back in time bro :').
It is exactly why comic book characters end up being boring : death is nothing than a bad couch in any comicbook universe, and any cataclysmic event is supposedly fixable.
what if it wasnt time travel
the moment she saved gman, he put her in stasis, then he left her jusst enough to save eli, then put her in stasis again
we dont know how gman powers works
is either AWAYS had time travel or its stasis powers, because i none of the time he did it it was BACK in time, he did it in the future.
>Yas Forums is literally too retarded to understand its not time travel
I honestly believe that you fags are genuinely this retarded, nobody with half a brain would believe its time travel
nice one, gooman
It's not time travel. This fucking meme needs to die. Tired of people who haven't played it running their mouths.
What are some cheap VR headsets that would let me play it? Not spending €1000 on the Index.
So what would you call it?
the one thing we've seen gman make time and time again?
The one thing that we're mad about him putting a character into?
A fucking P O C K E T D I M E N S I O N
Gman spergery
JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP
Ok, so how did Alyx seeing Eli already dead and her future self cradling his lifeless body, then GMan rewinding the scene to the point that the advisor was about to kill Eli but she was able to intervene and kill the advisor not count as time travel?
Why do tripfags do it lads?
Why struggle so long and hard in the face of constant inevitable rejection to try and be le internet famous on Yas Forums? Theres literally nothing to gain but constant embarrassment, as proven by this latest one.
Not related. Fuck off.
TIME TRAVELER
>anglos get butthurt at me calling them central asians
>the anglos retaliation is to...call me an anglo
If only you saw things my way, you'd realize why it's so funny to me.
>Transporting a character into the future isn't time travel
Finnah gonna have to hold this L for me my dude...
>how did Alyx see an illusion created by Gman about an event that happens in the future not count as time travel
I dunno user, is viewing VHS tapes of your childhood time travel too?
Also, we've seen Gman be able to stop literal time itself, he does so on 2 occasions, he probably did that and took a grieving alyx into a deal and this entire game was a test of her loyalty to him.
Think about it, if it IS time travel, none of the shit makes sense leading into Half-Life 2, and while Valve has some pretty god awful writers, they aren't THAT god awful to write themselves into a corner with this shit.
gman has to be working with the combine right? combine imprisoned GMAN for whatever the fuck he did. after freeing, he have Gordon to bring down the combine in HL2
Now imagine this dork with a bunch of VR shit on his face making these posts, lmao
Alyx-Alyx was loaded up with Vortessence. G-man, who exists across the multiverse, lies and shows her the "Future," which is actually the experience of HL2-Alyx. He has Alyx-Alyx use the Vortessence to change HL2-Alyx's world.
I don't know what the issue is here. G-Man seems to take Gordon and others in and out of time at will anyways, if not out of dimension. Let alone, in the same universe, there are portal guns.
Literally a non-issue.
Forgot to filter you out in my workplace
Because in a series full of Retcons, Yas Forums is mad about THIS retcon in particular
Most brainlets don't even understand the relativistic implications of the things you mentioned. Not to mention a majority of them don't really care about the truth, they are only in it to shill their culture war.
Because it's always been linear. Gman has never been a fucking time traveller, he simply takes people like Gordon, Adrian, and Alyx and places them in stasis for later use. Gordon was literally blacked out in stasis for 20 years, with it only having seemed instantaneous because he was the one knocked out.
In Ep2 he straight up tells you that he had no real plan for Alyx when he saved her from Black Mesa, and he simply considered her an investment that found use later on. He also had to defend his decision to powers that are even greater than him. which he wouldn't if he knew who she'd be later on. This means he and whatever forces that are above even him, are not omniscient, and they work in a linear fashion. They're not fucking timelords or even vortigaunts in that regard. They're just influencers
How can pcbros exist in current year? You must have no dignity to dicksuck a corporation that obviously doesn't care about you or what you want. Stockholm syndrome?
hey who started the "oh no no nononon ahahahahah" thing and when can I meet him so I can break his fucking kneecaps.
why do yall just parrot shit all the time, jesus. isn't this the thing you hate that the "sjws" do
>Time dilation is time travel
the only dilation here is the one you have to do everyday in that open wound you call a vagina
Can't believe I almost spend 1000 bucks on this.
Kek I like your style

This is why time travel stories that abide by the Novikov self-consistency principle are the most kino.
valve shills will defend this pozzed sjw shit
