Hey, I'll take anything over being stuck on the cliffhanger of Eli's death for 20 years, and wrap up the whole Combine story as best as possible.
Uhhh your missing a game there bud.
SPOILERS!
Wat
HL Alyx
A game 90% of people can't play.
Should have left the main narrative alone.
"i haven't upgraded my pc since 1990, it's not fair they released a game on 2002 pc specs!"
is what you sound like.
Should they not release new games on new consoles too because you only have the old ones?
Hardly. HL:A is the only game that would interest me in the slightest on VR platforms. No "upgrade" involves buying a dead end platform for one game.
No one cares what you think
That cliffhanger got addressed in Half-Life: Alyx. And replaced with a different cliffhanger.
As TachyonTele suggested, you may want to play or read into Half Life Alyx. Time travel got involved.
What if I don't have VR?
I’ve heard there are mods to play it on a flat screen. Obvs you’d lose a lot of the experience, but that would be a way to get the story.
I watched a story recap on yt.
If possible, I recommend giving Alyx a go, even if you have to borrow a headset, visit a friend, arcade, ect.
Not an option for everyone of course, Alyx aside VR is fun and while the entry requirements are getting lower it's still a leap.
Valve will probably summarise the main story change in HL3, which will be a very WTF moment that's kinda on brand with the scenario.
