I know I'll be hated for forever but, meh. I had to put god mode on from the beginning. It was way too hard for me, even on easy. And forget about beating the final boss without god mode. It's nice to be done and it was enjoyable, it's just that some parts were confusing (how to beat the last guy) and too hard. I thought it would give me a little bit more knowledge to understand what's going on in Half Life 2, but nope. I still have no clue.
