    Does anyone else remember exactly where they were when Alyx and Gordon reached the resistance base? That last stretch stuck with me.

    The ELO here seems to reward the ending more than the middle stretch honestly.

    Il tient surtout parce qu'on vote par réflexe, sans trop se poser de questions...

    Ce qui m'a marquée c'est la maniabilité en véhicule, incroyablement précise pour l'époque, ENCORE aujourd'hui je m'en souviens bien.

    Never finished it, the vehicle bits didn't grab me that much.

    Pas étonné qu'il reste stable en duel, ce genre de fin marque plus qu'on ne le croit.

    Je l'avais installé chez un ami un dimanche pluvieux, on devait avoir prévu autre chose mais on n'a jamais bougé du canapé. On s'est relayés à la manette pendant des heures, lui pour les combats, moi pour conduire, et je crois qu'aucun de nous deux n'a voulu s'arrêter avant la fin.

    The canapé thing sounds a lot like co-op runs I did with GTA V, except way less chaotic.
