In my memory, this game is a pure masterpiece. I played through it so many god damn times trying to get all the endings. It's great that it will be accessible again.

I loved Axiom Verge, so I'm happy with a sequel. I agree that some sort of fast-travel would have been nice, but I liked the game enough that that didn't really bother me.

@mellotronrules: That's understandable, I guess. I imagine for many game developers, getting the offer to work on the next Half-Life game would be hard to resist.

I mean, yes, but of the two, porcupines are way faster.

Yo mama so fat she plays Death Sitting

Personally, I was much more interested in In the Valley of the Gods than Half-Life: Alyx.

It's a real shame. Presumably "put on hold" means "cancelled", but hopefully it doesn't, and that production could resume after Half-Life releases.

The "game gene pool" at Valve is getting a little bit too small. It feels like they haven't had a new idea since Portal: everything they release comes from decades old franchises at this point (Half-Life, Dota, Counter-Strike). They need some fresh game blood, and In the Valley of Gods would have been perfect for that.

@sawnek-sped: I am delighted to see this old thread of mine resurrected. This thread is the vanguard of the "Sonic is a porcupine" truth movement, and the truth cannot be stopped!

First off all, if anyone was offended by my harsh language, I apologize. It was said in jest, but I maybe took it too far. I do maintain, however, that hedgehog are terrible smelly creatures.

Now! To the issue at hand! JUST LOOK AT HIM! He looks nothing like a hedgehog, but he totally like a porcupine! All your fancy arguments are designed to make us not believe what we see with our own eyes. Dude's clearly a porcupine. His quills are long and they are angled backwards in a crest on his back, just like a porcupine. Hedgehogs have none of these features: their quills are short, going in all directions, and evenly distributed (i.e. not in a crest).

Also, hedgehogs are famously slow and sedentary creatures! They live in hedges, drink milk from saucers, then fall asleep because they drank too much milk. Baby Yoda is positively energetic in comparison!

Porcupines, on the other hand, are fast, agile and dangerous, able to take on the most deadly of predators:

One final proof: here are two images. One is of Sonic, the other a porcupine. I bet you can't tell which is which!

See! They're IDENTICAL!

Case. Closed.

Tetris Effect is incredible, y'all are crazy.

@onemanarmyy: I cared a bit, at the time. Good characters, interesting world. It was much more rare then than it is now.

Still invested? Not really. But I wouldn't mind going back.

Here's my dumb-ass theory, which I wish was true but almost certainly isn't (spoilers for the first episode):

Overall, I liked it quite a bit, but wasn't blown away or anything. The fact that they hide Pedro Pascal under that helmet is a crime, and by far the best part was (obviously) Werner Herzog.
