Or even a grav gun separating me from that 10-foot pole.

        Not really no. It’s a separate story with separate characters in a different part of the world. They reference a couple things, but it doesn’t give any hints or conclusions to the main series.

        No it’s a prequel. So you get more world building but no resolution.

        IDK what the other person was on, but it’s not a separate story with separate characters in a different part of the world. It still takes place in Eastern Europe, and everyone you expect to be in a HL2 is there except Gordon.

        If you don’t have a VR headset yet, they’re way cheaper now than they used to be. So you should definitely consider getting one for this game. Hell VR is worth it for the porn alone.

      At this point I would be happy if they patched Ep2 to fix the cliffhanger and gaslight everyone that its always been that ending lol

      I wouldn’t be so sure. I felt the exact same way about Shenmue, and the third game ended up being worse than if they just left it alone.

      Well epistle 3 was released that can at least give you an idea about what the arc was going to be. Ofc it might not have ended up as the final draft. I found it kinda depressing tbh.
