I prefer the look of the voritgaunts on release. The Episodic update that went back and changed the old vortigaunt models annoys me.

The question is, are you reading it in the HL2, or Episode 2 voice?

>>715133323 (OP)
How do deaf people read words?

>>715137971
Like reading a book. I don't hear the words when they're written, I just see them. So the deaf would just be reading the world.

>>715137090
there is a difference?

>>715138206
I hear the words when I read them

Both of the voice actors are dead now.

I wish Valve would go one fucking game without redesigning them.

>>715133323 (OP)
Tony Todd or Louis Gossett Jr?

>Best character in the whole game
>Shows up for only one chapter
Brothers, how'd they do it???

>>715142041
overrated

>>715133694
I liked the idea of the original vortigaunts being wrinkly, but they looked like humanoid croissants. The episodic updated ones look at least more natural.

>>715142041
I remember playing HL2 as one of my first shooter games on PC and thinking Ravenholm was the comfiest chapter in the game because you just get to kill zombies in various inventive ways with a funny crazy dude.
Then it was back to the cold dystopian world and clinical body horror after that.

>>715133323 (OP)
Oh fuck off i actually did

>>715133323 (OP)
>>715133694
I love nu-vortigaunts. They're really cool.

>>715133323 (OP)
sup nigga let me fix your boat nawmsayn

>>715142041
Glad the spinoff game never came out, sounds like they did him dirty

>>715142041
I’d appreciate him more if the Ravenholm chapter wasn’t so overrated and annoying. Way too easy to get lost in that Eastern yuropoor shantytown, everything looks the fucking same and stumbling past 6 gorillion zombies as you fruitlessly look for the progression point isn’t fun. Even on repeat playthroughs I get lost constantly

>>715145082
Valve really dodged a bullet by not letting all those external studios release their HL2 episodes. They're basically worse than modders. What the hell were they thinking, adding headcrabless zombies? It's like they were trying to take Half-Life and make it generic.

>>715133323 (OP)
yeah, rip.

>G-MAN: Ah, Doctor Freeman. I believe we got off on the wrong foot. You see, my otherwordly employer demanded that I secure you as an asset to be deployed at various times to further their enigmatic agenda. I'm afraid I am still under an NDA so I cannot reveal much about it, but suffice to say, it was not very nice of them, nor me.
>However, due to the rising costs of interstellar housing and wages not keeping up with space dollar inflation, I chose to quit my dead-end job as a procurer of assets, so I am no longer a threat to you, nor any of your affiliates.
>Well then, would you like to grab a cup of coffee? I'd like to discuss a certain fully modelled phenomena with you.

How do you respond without being mad?

>>715133323 (OP)
why do they have an alien dick on their torso ?

>>715133694
Nah, the updated vortigaunts are much sexier

sex alien

>>715133323 (OP)
wtf how did you do that

>>715146912
People were acting like we were robbed when the return to ravenholme plot was leaked but reading that shit seemed like retarded crossover fanfiction. Like the devs had no ideas beyond "what if my favorite character from opposing force met my favorite character from half life 2???"

>>715133323 (OP)
When I was in Half-Life Alyx talking to the vortigaunt, I realized its head looks like a mutated human if you focus on the eyes at the sides of the forehead.

>>715145283
I'm not sure what kind of games you're good at, I'm sure there's some game you're actually proficient at right?

>>715133323 (OP)
sorry I don't remember what her voice is.

How do Vorts reproduce?

>>715133323 (OP)
I am the writing on the wall, the whisper in the classroom. Without these things I am nothing. So now I must shed innocent blood. Come with me. Be immortal.

>>715146912
Opposing Force basically is just Half-Life fanfiction, complete with a new alien race and Gearbox's OC being such an important figure even the G-man takes notice. Valve probably figured it worked out the first time, so why not a second until some faction within the company decided to push back on letting outsiders shit all over their work since HL2 is much more story-driven. OpFor isn't actually very good either so it was absolutely the right call

I wish someone made a mod that gave HL2 vorts new design, that would look closer to HL1s alien slaves. Ideally with a new voice over, too. They absolutely need to make those weird noises they used to make.
