  Ugh finally. I thought I was having a fever dream about beating it on the bridge back in the day. I never realized the bug was that old.

  Look, I don’t care if it’s fake or not, but beating trains is uncalled for violence.

  I thought I had done it, but I have only played it since after it was made impossible. I guess I didn’t

  I played through recently and I beat it but I distinctly remember thinking that I didn’t remember it being that hard. It took me several tries and very precise timing, I think I even ended up coming back to it the next day.

  Glad they are fixing it, though it makes it hard not to speculate more about an upcoming sequel. I think they will call it HL2 Episode 3 just to fuck with everyone.

    My speculation? They’ll call it HL4 and then just say that HL:A was technically HL3

      Technically?

    Nah, it’ll be Half Life Alyx: Epsiode 1.

  Wow! I somehow never knew this bug existed. I guess it’s been a long time since I played this one. 😅

  Now, how about fixing game-breaking bugs on the Switch version of Portal 2?

    I didn’t even know there was a switch version

      There is indeed! My kid played it on the switch and loved it. Well, right up to the point where they couldn’t proceed due to a level being completely broken. They ended up having to finish the last few stages on my PC instead.

  I thought it was strange on steam that it was so hard to get across when I was sure when I played it on Xbox that I basically did it first try no sweat.

  Wait, they didn’t fix that with the anniversary update?! What the fuck?!
