The ending is one of the most awesome parts of the whole HL2 experience...
Especially being carried through the Citadel. Back in 2004 that made me lost for words at how awesome that was.
Anyway I noticed that a few of you guys that I have as Steam friends have been playing a lot of Faster Than Light for the past 2 weeks. After seeing the reviews I decided to get it, and now I know why.

Heh.
The game takes a weird approach to progression - The game is unforgiving. If you die you have to start again, but you can unlock stuff depending on how far you get.
