Alyx was designed to be sexy, and a sex symbol (duh) read on..

This whole thread is crazy. Hope to God no "outsider" that isn't a gamer reads this thread about a pixellated woman. It will only reinforce their opinions of gamers being dateless nerds who jack off to anime pr0n.

Note: Yeah, I think Alex isnt too bad looking myself. :p
 
You are a complete bonehead.

A animated polygonal characters is FAKE... not a real person. I honestly don't see how somebody could get "turned on" by polygons. Even if that is the intention... at least in my mind its still fake which ruins everything... its all the same stupid crap with anime porn that some people love... its not a real person!

the difference in real porn is that you know its a real actual person, just in a picture. Therefore you know she is real and not fake. Just because its on a computer screen doesn't mean she's not real... its the same as if it were printed on paper

although i'm not really into porn believe it or not... but not like i'm adversed to seeing some once and a while :bounce:

Your the "bonehead", and all this "real" stuff... you watch the matrix to much

Ok here we go:

First things first, i dont get my concepts from the matrix, i simply applied a quote from it to help you understand.

Now, why do you feel you need a "real actual person" to get excited over?

What is the difference? (Lets assume the graphics were good enough so you couldnt tell the difference)

(i dont do 'fake'/'real' porn, so dont assume im in defense here, im simply using logic)
 
This is turning into a flamewar. This has been discussed so many times. Big whoop, same turnout. Lock.

Because i can't **** a computer screen, therefore polygons don't get me excited. Its different with normal porn because you know that person exists in real life, not on the internet or in a 3d modeling program. But even normal porn really doesn't do much for me anyways. I hafta have a real girl in front of me that i can touch for it to work :-P
 
alyx is not hot at all, like some chick you are having a platonic relationship with

So with "normal porn", because that person actually exists, you feel you can get excited? Whys that? They exist, so what...females are females on the comp screen.
 
sigh....i don't like anime porn, it is TOO unrealistic, but the truth is the SOUNDS, may sound realistic, and the actions may seem realistic, the point is, is that you odn't have to be SEEING two people in the act of sexual intercourse to be turned on... I don't like the girls i think up because they are fake, i don't like the girls on T.V because they are not REAL characters, but actors PRETENDING to be a character...To say that a bunch of polygons can not be arousing, is complete BS...Because you are the type of person who actually needs to make physical contact with a gorl in order to be turned on...i see alot of viagara in your future...
 
Alyx dies in the end

Alyx dies near the end of the game sry haha
 
I Got A Spoiler

GORDON HAS BABYS WITH ALYX IN THE END OF HALF LIFE 2 AND IF YOU GET THE SECRET CROWBAR YOU GET TO WATCH THEM HAVE S3X
 
No they dont but another thing is that GMAN is freeman from the future

I really don't think she's that pretty but that's just a personal preference. THey modeled her after her voice actor:

Honestly i don't think she's really that pretty but i'm glad they didn't made her a typical video game character. Ie.. unreal2, TOMB RAIDER, far cry (overaccentuated big boobies since i can't sy the other)

and she's wearing more "normal" clothing... i think she looks kind of ugly in the game but i dunno if it will look a lot better in game.

I just REALLY hope it doesn't turn into a gay love story... like "gordon save me!"... but maybe just more of a underlying kind of "spark" just don't make it a big plot point or anything... i really really really don't want half-life to turn into a big ball of gay love story

i totaly agree with you here. Although with the reviews its getting about its storyline, i dont think it will happen.
 
If these are true:

- No they dont but another thing is that GMAN is freeman from the future

- Alyx dies near the end of the game sry haha

man that's retarded... although i kind of saw alyx dying for some reason... seems pretty cliche anymore so i'm not surprised

g-man = freeman older? gay gay gay... man i hope not
 
well i did a very accurate aging test on gordon, and he looks nothing like the g-man.

See for yourself:

Wow you should work for the police as a sketch artist....

ALTHOUGH! Maybe that explains why both gordons and g-mans eyes are really really green

I don't remember them being that green in the original and thought it was very distinctive

hmmmmmm
 
Wow an intelligent post! I agree with what you're saying, totally.
I hope this post stays around longer than some of the other silly ones around.

Tight Jeans, a very phallic wrench, a sassy dashing look. And if you re-whatch the binks you realize she is a huge flirt with Gordon.. not only when it is recognized in the labs but in general like near the hydra the way she moves is as if Gordon is an sexual interest. I was raised by two shrinks so I may be over analyzing this but Alyx is quite obviously interested in Gordon and not only that but shows off her body and but quite a bit. As we all play i'm sure we'll realize that. I'm looking at my signed framed poster of Alyx and I see a total babe, not in the steryotypical sense of the word but she has curves holds a penis-like wrench, glares with beutiful eyes and holds onto her pant line with one leg extended showing off her toned physique. As far as game characters go she is definatley not bad, i'd give her a spin.

....You ever consider going outside?
 
i wish if they were trying to make her a sex symbol she looked a little better, because she isnt good looking at all

-merc
 
Alyx is an alien coming to collect gordon's babies. Her father is a space pirate and her mother is a robot called dawg.
/nonsense mode off

I'm not worrying if I get turned on or not about the little pixel lady. There's no reason to. If she gives me feelings like friendship, trust, confidence, or a good ol' boner, then it means the character development is good and it works. Do you want te be emerged in the game, or not?
Plus I don't see what's hard to understand about getting aroused by pixels when you compare it to magazines or whatever you got out there (plastic dolls anyone?).
Don't be scared to be freaky. Be scared to be scared.
 
Phallic. Like. Wrench. The mental image it conjures in my mind is making my cerebrum go into blue screen of death mode. Gyah. I hate you Freud, you incestuous pedophile!
 
no im talking about you guys thinking of her as a figgen porn star.

nasty dude, couldn't you have just posted a spoiler instead?

lol. :(
 
Well you guys gotta see this a bit different. Use your imagination, seriously, you don't need porn or anything. You can also just close your eyes and think of something, is that nerdy too? No I don't think so, illusions and imagination is one of the most important things the human brain can do.

I see nothing bad in looking at Alyx and finding her good looking, and then probably making your own illusions about her, because afterall, everything just happens in your mind even if you think about a "real" person.

Another example that porn ain't good for us! It takes our imagination skills away =)
 
So people are willing to run about spouting superlatives about how realistic the characters look, and we hang on every word about how an emotional connection between the player and NPCs is forged by using animation, writing and form, and yet all of a sudden if you become attracted to a character it makes you a nerd?

So it's alright to react to characters with anger, or hate, or laughter, but anything else is NERD NERD LOL?

Seems like a double standard.

also, what about dreams, we get turned on by dreaming about imaginary people. In the end its just about getting the brain moving and chemicals flowing, the brain always fills in the gaps for us.
