Why are people surprised that these guys turned out to be borderline unbeatable?
They overwhelmed Earth's defences in seven hours, what the fuck did you expect? The Combine being more than a match for humanity has got to be the least surprising plot 'twist' of all time, and yet you retards are STILL surprised by it. Fucking why?

Were people surprised? Of all the reactions to have come up that wasn't one that I particularly noticed.

It's not so much a surprise to the fact they are unbeatable as it is a surprise that a video game story would present that futility.
Like, any other game/movie would probably end with some magic bullshit and the rebels would be victorious.

I can still imagine it now. Slowly floating towards the dyson sphere in a fucking bloat caught between space and time.

Yes this image has been stuck inside my head the whole day now.
Reminds me of seeing the arms of installation 00 in Halo 3, except here this thing would surround you.

Welcome to 4chan.

Who's surprised? I'm just glad at least one setting doesn't have the aliens assist critical existence failure because fuck yeah, humanity!
At the same time I could totally see things working out okay for humanity; imagine mastering teleport technology and a diaspora of humans who can't fight the combine, but also can't be caught by it, fleeing and preserving their freedom across the multiverse.

And those weren't even real combine forces, they were just conscripted and modified humans.

Y'know, now that the plot is all detailed all one would have to do is just make a mod game for it right?

Well that ain't gonna happen because Alyx is a dumbass.

>>388217930
you retard, people aren't pissed about that.
almost everyone liked the ending.
>>
>>388217930
It's a shitty conclusion storytelling wise, objectively

Probably because we want not a 3 pages paper, but a game, to end a game series.

I mean, why not have gman or vortigaunts guide Adrian Shepard or barney back into the Borealis to get the data or save the ship after freeman abandons it?
