I’m surprised that there’s no thread discussing this. Anyway, discuss. Yeah, it’s those Xen things I’m talking about.
Gamepads or the fucking hydrocephaloid xenian cuties
The little f**kers with energy balls that is.
They seem to be more beastly sounding in HL, now they sound cute like a electronic high-pitched cats. (for me)
I do miss the baby-like “WAAAAAAH” that they used to give off in the original
What the hell is there to discuss about them?
Well for one, it foreshadows the BM’s model of Nihilanth, seeing as the Controllers themselves are similar to Nihilanth himself. I do hope the Second Release comes soon though, still stuck in Black Mesa time…
So they look like another alien, big deal. There’s more?
And I thought my thread is pointless, u mad Xalener? Seriously, this is nothing to have a long if any discussion about.
What are they controlling? The vortiguants?
Actually yeah I think that’s it. Nothing to talk about.
bumper cars are only funny when they bump.
the OP should edit to The Alien Controller Thread
To be fair it is in the Half-Life section (and used to be in the cafeteria).
IIRC the Interloper Vorts only turn against you after the Controllers show up, so that seems like a fair assumption.
Anyone else find the BM Controllers absolute rat bastards? Semi-instagib splash damage smartguns… shudder.
Mind you, the massive framerate issues of that section may have something to do with it too.
The Vorts in Interloper turning against you has nothing to do with the Controllers.
Only yesterday I realized (after looking at them since 1998) that they actually have a face, between the head and the neck, you can see eyes and a mouth in both models (original and BM)
