    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.

    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 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.

      HL2: Episode 2: Part 2

      They can’t count to 3

        You’re right! But that means it will be HL2: Episode 2: Episode 1, just to bring things full circle.

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

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

      It was possible after the update. Just way more difficult.

    That explains a lot. I remember it not requiring that strict timing.

    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.
