Ugh finally. I thought I was having a fever dream about beating it on the bridge back in the day. I never realized the bug was that old.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Wow! I somehow never knew this bug existed. I guess it’s been a long time since I played this one. 😅

Now, how about fixing game-breaking bugs on the Switch version of Portal 2?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I didn't even know there was a switch version

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

There is indeed! My kid played it on the switch and loved it. Well, right up to the point where they couldn’t proceed due to a level being completely broken. They ended up having to finish the last few stages on my PC instead.

Look, I don't care if it's fake or not, but beating trains is uncalled for violence.

#trainsrights for all!

I played through recently and I beat it but I distinctly remember thinking that I didn’t remember it being that hard. It took me several tries and very precise timing, I think I even ended up coming back to it the next day.

Glad they are fixing it, though it makes it hard not to speculate more about an upcoming sequel. I think they will call it HL2 Episode 3 just to fuck with everyone.

HL2: Episode 2: Part 2

They can’t count to 3

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

You’re right! But that means it will be HL2: Episode 2: Episode 1, just to bring things full circle.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Nah, it’ll be Half Life Alyx: Epsiode 1.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

My speculation? They'll call it HL4 and then just say that HL:A was technically HL3

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Technically?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

I thought I had done it, but I have only played it since after it was made impossible. I guess I didn't

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

It was possible after the update. Just way more difficult.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

That explains a lot. I remember it not requiring that strict timing.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I thought it was strange on steam that it was so hard to get across when I was sure when I played it on Xbox that I basically did it first try no sweat.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Wait, they didn't fix that with the anniversary update?! What the fuck?!
