Episode Two Fans Are a Bunch of Crybabies

According to Valve at least. CVG has posted an
article
after speaking to them. Apparently the Half-Life 2: Episode Two's emotional final scene was powerful enough to cause fans to shed a tear.



"Quite a few fans wrote to say that we broke the blubbering barrier. They wept",
Half-Life story scribe Marc Laidlaw has revealed to PC Zone magazine.



There is a bit more to read in the article but it does contain spoilers. If you haven't played the ending yet I don't recommend you view it!

It's one of the moments where you can't help but to look back and laugh.
First experience was terrifying

Shed a tear?

I doubt many did. It was not really emotional in my eyes. But each to his own I guess.

I laughed really hard at that scene. The first scene I was like "wtf is that a penis...AHAHAAH!" Then the final scene I was like "LOL he gonna get his cranium skull ****ed ahahaha". The thing seriously looks like a long, slimy, veiny penis. Even has a tip at the end of it. I was expecting the death too. I knew that somebody was going to die in the episode and since this was the last few minutes, something was gonna happen. The lighting and open area made it feel like it was an ambush. Then Samon had to spoil it too long before the episode came out.

I felt a bit miserable afterwards, and a bit of genuine hatred towards the combine advisor's....

Then a day later, I realized "What the hell, I'm getting all emotional over a game."

I cried because of the fact that the episode was finished ALREADY after thinking; *I must be halfway now*, and knowing that I'll have to wait atleast another year to play some more.
