It made me laugh actually. Not because of the sad ending that was depressing and all but just at the fact that Valve teased us with actually telling us part of the story and then took it away. I think they must get a kick out of that or something because it was kind of ridiculous. You play through the whole strider battle scene thinking you're about to be get some of the mystery around the G-Man revealed and then Valve is like "just kidding". I found that funny.

Damn.......Valve are geniouses.....In my opinion that is the best ending for a shooter.

They should derect a movie or a TV Series or other stuff like that.

I was enjoying the ending of the Episode till I was like "Crap that was the end of the Episode".

But I thought it was a good ending and I will get the third Episode when it comes out.

I just felt sorry for Alyx, but then my only real thought was "damn, he was supposed to tell me about the G Man!" You know, since they had a connection at Black Mesa.

it was a bit too brutal, got the "tragic effect" away. He should have been stabbed in the heart, like all heroic deaths :P

It was a good twist. The guys at Valve are making a damn "interactive movie" with all these plot twists!!

Ya, there was all this hugging and even that snobby Doc (the guy that made the bombs, whats his name?) was bneing nice and oh happy happy joy joy.

I remember I was like "Oh crap, this is going to end badly"...the minute we stepped out of the control room and headed towards the hanger I was looking around for those damn flying cameras.

I'm not sure if I can play through it again, honestly. Just Alyx's sobbing at the end...thatgetstome. that's the closest I've come to crying while playing a game in a long time. Of course, I'm just sentimental like that.

lol, im not laughing at you, but at your hypothetical situation of your parents walking in, that would be awkward... Yeah the ending was sad though, Ever since the trailers for ep2 though I thought something would happen, with Alyx more likely though. So while I played the whole game, I was expecting something to happen. When Eli started talkin to you and then sayin he'd finish later, I just knew somethin was gonna happen

Yeah, this is one of the few games that actually made me feel something while I played it. The other two are Kotor (romance and being an evil bastard against your followers) and Jade Empire, following the Path of the Closed Fist and being an a-hole towards the little girl in your group. I didn't cry when Eli died, but I was definitely sad when the sobbing started. Can't wait for the next episode.

My thoughts exactly lol, i was all excited about eventually learning some information about the GMAN and then Eli dies. But i did feel sorry for Alyx as the relationship between Alyx and Eli throughout the HL2 games reall made Eli's death all the more emotional, tragic and dare i say real?

You might be right, The song "Still Alive" at the end might've been a clue.

i think its another kind of portal device, since aperture and black mesa were fighting over who would develop the best portal device and such.
