What's more logical, continuing to watch at 1.25/2x through the slow/boring bits or skipping ahead right past them lol.
Skipping is for stuff of no relevance yes, but watching a full docu or most of it at such speeds seems a bit ridiculous, like as if someone doesn't have the patience or attention to hold onto a steady paced piece of film - But hey that's just my view and there are many things about the "modern" way the new generation of people do things that simply don't make any sense, like paying to watch someone play a game over a stream as opposed to playing it yourself, but that's another topic.
There is nothing slow or boring about the HL2 docu that warrants skipping or even speeding it up for example as all of the information we gather is relevant and useful to fill in the gaps of narrative lost over the decades whilst waiting for HL3 news to drop etc.

I thoroughly enjoyed the documentary, worth making time for.
Ah that's up to them, chances are they didn't watch it at 2x but skipped heavily. At 2x words are not far off being minced.
I meanwhile didn't watch any of it, I was browsing past and spotted moaning that people don't watch media the right way these days
Don't worry about it. Always people who will post fast and early just to be the first comments.
It was interesting that counterstrike 2 was a possibility back around 2004. For anyone that didn't watch, the Valve and Vivendi lawsuit had Valve scraping the barrel for cash. They went to another publisher and offered up Counterstrike 2. Publisher agreed, gave them money and shortly after the lawsuit was settled because Vivendi were discovered to be destroying evidence in relation to the lawsuit.
Publisher got refunded the cash for CS2 and it went back into the standard Valve backburner for almost 2 decades.

I've just found there was an extra achievement added to Episode 2 at least 4 years ago, so I'm reinstalling that to 100% it again - its run the game after Gabe Newell launches a gnome into space (as in actual space, not in the game) which he did in 2020.

Between the ending of Alyx, the interviews that followed, and the hints in the last minute of this film (that this was even made suggests they are keen to keep the Half Life brand in the public consciousness) i'm 100% sure we are getting a new HL game before too long. I think it'll be VR only, and launched alongside a new headset.
Really enjoyed watching the two hour YouTube this morning.
If and when Half-Life 3 is released, I hope they don't make the same mistake as they did with Alyx and make it a niche game that only expensive VR owners can experience. That upset a lot of Half-Life fans.

The game is worth getting hold a VR headset for. I bought a secondhand Rift and sold it again after playing.
For me it was the best VR game I'd played, and set a standard. I'd do it again if the next installment was VR.

I had never played any Half-Life games until I got my VR headset, and probably never would have. Alyx is without a doubt the best game I have played in the last two years, so much so that after I finished it I almost immediately played it through again, then a few months after that I started playing it again. It's certainly a game that will get a lot of repeat plays from me and was definitely worth getting VR for (not that that's the reason I bought the headset).

They'd be dumb to make it VR only, plus vr doesn't play well with a lot of people in relation to it making them feel nauseous. Needs to be a regular game for maximum sales.
