[Multiplatform] Half-Life 2: Episode 2 (is there a thread...?)

EP2 is incredibly good. Save for the final fight...

Spoiler:

It's nigh impossible to win... Yeah, the ONLY way to deal with the Hunters is to ram them, and it's all good, challenging but still doable until the dropships come. Then it's "miss once - game over. Oh, you haven't taken care of all Hunters from the last Strider of the first, individual attacks? Guess what sucker? GAME OVER! Oh, you've missed a Hunter once, and the second time you tried it jumped out of the way? GAME OVER FUCKHEAD! Oh, what was that? You've missed a Magnussen shot at a Strider, and now it's mixing up with the remaining two Striders and their Hunter forces? GAME OVER!".
I realise, it's supposed to be a boss battle. But the difficulty spike is WAY, WAY, WAY too high for my liking. I admire anyone able to play through that fight start to finish in one sitting without reloading. I can't even do it WITH reloading cause it frustrates me way too much.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

That SO reminds me of the semi-final mission of STALKER... I quicksaved after every few steps I gained... I really don't like quicksavefests like that.
But apparently people having problems with the final battle of EP2 are rather rare.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
