Thoughts on the ending of Half-Life 2

- Weapon Fizzling Thoughts

So right at the beginning of the end sequence all of your weapons other than the gravity gun, even the crowbar (if you think about it the only weapons you earned legit were from Barney (The crowbar) and from Father Grigori (The shotgun)) and now even though I haven't played Half-Life to the end yet, I still felt very sad about the crowbar being fizzled, it had always been there for the player and destroying it was in my opinion - a very bad choice valve made, it'd been lovely for the combine to confiscate the weapons rather than fizzling them, leaving the possibility for Half-life 3 (coming 2020) to actually obtain the crowbar once again, I haven't played Half-Life 2 episode 1-2 yet however so if it does come back somehow that'll be nice, but it did get me rather upset.

- G-Man thoughts

Does only Gordon see G-Man, also did I mention Gordon could be shortened to G therefor G-man is Gordon confirmed?! (just kidding), but I didn't like the abruptness of the ending, slowing down time, leaving a cliff hanger, not a good time for me.

- Supercharged Gravity Gun thoughts

Though it was cool to do so much stuff with the SC-Gravity Gun it leaves a strange feeling inside, (especially when you die and it gets fizzled after failing to get destroyed) mainly the idea of how strong it was is very scary, it has a lot of power.

- General thoughts about the whole game

It went from a simple feeling game to a sort of shoot 'em up to all hell is breaking loose game within a rather short amount of time, which really threw me off the scale of time - it was really fun however and is one of my favourite story-mode games, but it very much lacks replayability, I'm only going to replay it for achievements, I loved how you controlled the antlions however my senses still were wanting to kill them so I might have by mistake killed a few c_c - but overall it was definitely an AMAZING game considering it was made in like 7 years time from Half-Life, and it was even better for its time, I'm didn't like some of the level design to be honest, some things were very obscure, if they used some more walls that broke down and lighting that highlighted things the game would have been much more fun. Definitely worth my £0.69.
