I'd argue that Alyx was HL3.

At least about 2 minutes of it were Half-Life 3.

Look it's two minutes more than we had for 13 years.

Maybe it's time to see other games...

Why only 2 minutes?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Spoilers: >!Most of the game is a prequel to HL2, but in the final few minutes, you get sent into the future, right to the time and place where Episode 2 ended. So it does advance the Half-Life plot forward, but only by a few minutes.!<

I got ya. That makes sense. It is not a story sequel. I haven't finished it yet, but it felt very much like the direction Valve is pushing and a story sequel to HL2 probably won't happen.

Alyx was 2.75 because we know from Valve math that the limit of half life only approaches 3 as t goes to infinity.
