Half-Life 2: Episode 3 never happened because Newell "couldn't figure out why doing Episode 3 was pushing anything forward."

    It was the same for HL2 though. I played it like 10 years after it was released, didn’t make the game worse. With VR the first experience will probably be even better in the future.

        It required a good computer which I living in a third-world country didn’t have.

            VR is not exclusive to Alyx as well. I could run Diablo 2 but not HL2.
