HL2 Ep 2 was bland as hell
Bwuh? It's certainly better than Ep. 1 and more refined than base HL2.
Too much fucking Alyx. Her ramblings would have been welcome if she was a good character, but she isn't and so they aren't. Her resurection through the power of love was laughable — at least it gave us a break from her insipid presence — and the vortigaunt just played the spiritual
negro alien. Eli's death was as emotional as watching a Volkswagen come out of the assembly line and Pr Magnusson, who just appeared out of nowhere, was the only potentially interesting character of the whole cast but didn't manage to rise above his cardboard density.
The only really interesting part of the whole game was the strider interception with the car and the bombs at the end. That's it.
And seriously, why aren't the scientists mass producing Dog robots already? When you see how much butt one of the kicks, a dozen would probably defeat a small army and a hundred would just send the aliens back crying to wherever they came from.
