    The fact people love to overlook is that the beta was a slog, and was unfun to play. What they actually love is the beta concept art.

    hl2 beta lore is still "oh no the scientist must save the world"

    hl2 lore: oh no the scientist must save the world hl2 beta lore: WHAT IS HAPPENING
  • @MauricioJara
    HL2 Beta, whilst being interesting, it felt unoriginal. Just feels like George Orwell's 1984, with the Consul literally being Big Brother. I like how the final product we got feels more real, and isn't dark for the sake of being dark, and instead the dark atmosphere is a backdrop for the story.

    Beta lore: Walk around and under a city for an excessively long time Travel through a whole lot of wasteland Be on a boat Take part in some kind of setpiece battle at a location with some vague outcome Visit an underground location Be unsure what order all of the above take place in Fly a plane back to the city Crash into a building Confront the consul at the top of the tower ??? The end

    "She didn't have to cut me off" - Half life beta lore
  • @Y.H.W.H
    People love the beta because it had a "darker story" and that's mainly the only reason.
  • @brooklynguy1805
    Honestly, I would have loved to see elements of the Beta go into the retail version of Half Life. I prefer the retail version, as its darkness is more subtle, and Dr. Breen is so much better then the consul ever was, but at the same time the beta was super detailed and looked absolutely amazing in its concept art, even if the gameplay at the time was slow and unfun.

    the scientist must save the world but edgier

    Man, I'm a "big" fan of the Half-Life 2 beta, but I find it kind of ridiculous to keep comparing or saying that the "Beta is better", both Beta and Final versions are great, and also the lores are totally differents.

    average beta concept art crybaby vs average 2004 enjoyer although honestly i really liked playing late 2002-2003 leak it really had that early 00's game feeling (more than hl2 itself)
  • hl2 beta lore was also:"oh no the scientist must save the world." what the hell are you smoking?
  • HL2: ...once you think about it, everyone is hopeless and destined to fail, humanity is doomed and you are the only one giving them some slight reason to continue fighting for freedom... something that not even you possess. HL2 Beta: projectile vomits all the good stuff in your face and dies

    HL2 Beta lore actually: Oh no the scientist must save the dark world
