That's not really part of the story, it's obviously Marc talking directly about Valve, the wording is very weird compared to the rest of the plot (how could there be new members of HIS research team from black mesa?)

I wonder how portal works in on all of this since that lemons guy used to harbor the borealis

>>388280625
>No they won't, the Combine on Earth are stranded without the Borealis and portals, and the humans will slowly outnumber them now that they can fuck and have babies again.
The thing is it doesn't matter. Humans can't stop the Combine, at the most they just caused them a mild inconvenience for all their efforts. Even if they drive them away, who's to say they won't just come back?

>>388280731
>Even if they drive them away, who's to say they won't just come back?
They won't? Combine have shit portal technology, that was the whole point of the episodes. The combine only got to Earth during the portal storms originating from Black Mesa, then they quickly transported the citadel to get a solid portal directly back to their staging area. The combine were trying to get to the Borealis to reestablish that connection, but without any portals, the empire can't do anything.

>>388280729
What SHOULD have happened:

>Black Mesa caused the apocalypse etc etc
>Gordon can't defeat them alone
>modest shower curtain salesman and wide eyed optimist Cave Johnson somehow holds the secret technology he accidentally discovered that is the key to defeating the combine

>lifelong adversaries Aperture and Black Mesa symbolically coming together for the first time to save the universe

Instead we got some bullshit how he had this great time machine and it did jack fuck and shit. Way to go. The whole series was pointless and everyone dies. Woooo.

Why would GMan leave one of his most valuable assets to die and instead take the girl he had to babysit across the country instead?

I know he has some sort of plan for Alyx too but why would he LEAVE Gordon instead of just taking him along too

>>388280729
Portal was a spin-off. Aperture Science was a real place in the Half-Life universe, but the story of Portal doesn't matter at all to it.

>letting all that light escape
Nice dyson sphere faggots.

>>388281589
He was angry at Gordon after he cucked him with the Vortigaunts
He basically fired him and hired Alyx instead

>>388281589
Alyx was the asset all along apparently; Gordon was just the person best suited for protecting her. Alyx was supposed to become a time lord or something

>>388281589
Because Gordon wasn't an asset anymore, he effectively went "rogue" when the vorts broke him out of stasis, interfering with Gman's plans

>>388280315
>Car Boys ending music plays

>>388281589
Well her dad ended up dead, it drove her to carry out his dying wish without thinking or hesitation. Maybe having Alyx think that a close friend and man that idealized the resistance died would drive her to do something crazier.

He had outlived his usefulness, very clearly. Why do you need this explained to you?

>>388281589
He's been grooming her to become her perfect 'asset' since he rescued her in Black Mesa.
Also the vortessence shit in ep2 could've added some kickass gameplay gimmicks in her own game.

>>388279834
At the pace Valve releases games, why do they feel the need to have these dramatic opened ended cliffhanger endings for all of the Half Life entries? I mean imagine if Episode 3/Half Life 3 actually came out with the same plot as that synopsis after 10 whole years, people would flip the fuck out.

>>388281589
could just be spite for siding with the vortigaunts

>>388282149
Fuck I loved that chapter of episode 2. Removing antlions with your Vort buddy and learning more about their culture was so fucking good. Not to mention that part where you have to hold off the antlions with those two guys.

You know, Freeman on board of the Borealis looking at the Dyson sphere is going to become one of the most iconic images of gaming.
I can see it: thousands interpretations from thousands of artists, giving their own version of something no one will ever get, ever.

>>388282170
You can actually end the series with that. All the loose ends are tied, and all that remains is a bit of mystery. Perfect ending in my opinion.

>>388282048
That felt good

>>388282283
To be honest, i replayed ep 2 today and it's just a boring slogfest.
Antlions never were interesting enemys and while the vort is charming he doesn't say too much with value and you only see him half the time anyway since you constantly split up

???

so what i think the symbolism is as follows:
>HL1
GMan gives scientists the crystals needed to start the resonance cascade and, ultimately, the Combine invasion (US discreetly incites a civil war/revolution in a middle-east country, prompting for Russia to invade)
>HL2
GMan brings the most able operative, Freeman, forward in time to now cripple the Combine's presence on Earth, as well as get rid of the Combine's puppet, Breen (US uses a popular, exiled leader from the country to lead ANOTHER revolution, this time to topple soviet authority in the region, as well as end the puppet communist government)
>HL3 possibly
GMan destroys the Borealis, accomplishing his objective while leaving Freeman to die, instead taking Alyx, who is far more easily manipulated (US comes in after the region is destabilized, securing the resource (oil, WMDs, etc) needed to cripple Russia. They either exile or assassinate the previous leader, installing another puppet dictator under the guise of democracy)

With the portal gun it would ahve been easy to fuck up the Combine.

2) Shoot the second portal opening into the star inside the dyson sphere
3) Bug out of there

>>388280315

You didn't read it, the Vortigants pull him out before he dies. Which is how he can write the letter in the first place (and be saved for HL3 itself) .But we won't ever get that.

Also the Combine themselves are very weak compared to the tech inside the Borealis and whatever tech Gman has access to, which is why they want to destroy them both.

Sad endings mean sad customers who don't buy the next installments of games that are released. Disney himself knew this which is why he modified the fairy tales he animated so much. The ONLY reason Valve would do a tragic ending is if they were killing Half Life off forever. But they couldn't even do that.

On that note, ep3's ending isn't so much tragic as it is another cliffhanger to get people buying HL3 which would have contained the "real" ending which probably would have been some time travel bullshit to stop the Resonance Cascade entirely, since the Borealis has teleporting time machine inside itself.

I don't know, doesn't seem that tragic to me. I mean, sure it isn't 100% happy, but Freeman did survive and there's a big chance that the resistance managed to eliminate the combine on earth, so not everything is bad.

The bigger issue looming beyond the Combine was that the Earth was irreversibly fucked on multiple levels. Even if the Resistance won, the planet was still being overrun by Xen life and was barely habitable for the native species.

Not really, the ocean is only a few meters shallower (not much considering the ice age brought it down a few hundred feet) and there's still plenty of nature outside the cities (see ep2). Nature reclaims everything and people move on, much like what happened after the fall of Communism (which the Combine is based upon).

Between the Citadel being destroyed in ep1, the Combine portals in ep2, then the Combine homeworld's power source in ep3, they don't have much influence anymore beyond their fauna. The advisers left on earth get to await their inevitable deaths as they are isolated, surrounded and exterminated.

>>388285605
The whole point was that they didn't destroy the Dyson sphere because it's so unfathomably big that even the Borealis couldn't even put a dent in it. The next move for the Resistance relies on whether or not the Combine decides Earth is too costly an operation for them to keep trying to send occupation forces to keep them down. At this point the Resistance has probably repurposed some captured Combine tech so there's a possibility for them to stand a bit more of a chance, as in last seven days rather than seven hours.

If the borealis can travel through time and space why didnt they go back to black mesa and stop the resonance cascade

Syndicate 2012, you don't even need Sun in most cases.

So how long before some fan group actually makes an "Episode 3" based on this?

There is some kind of irony here

>>388288475
How was this game, anyway? I remember playing the co-op demo a lot and then forgetting about the game entirely.

>>388280749
Sort of related. In Far Cry 2 being out in the sun makes it harder to see indoors or very shady places and entering/exiting can leave you almost blind, adjusting.

>>388288345

There would have been another one. One without Freeman in the future. The combine already existed then. Theyre better off fighting that enemy later than simply making them appear later.

>>388288690
They never would have noticed Earth without the Resonace Cascade happening.

>>388288252
Never said they were, but "in a world where these things exist and thus counteract any kind of logic you're trying to apply". This is a world where our logic does not apply. There's headcrabs. There's giant sentient robot-apes named Dog that understand English but don't speak it. There's a man who turned moon dust into portal wall-goop and ranted about explosive lemons, whose company DID play a part with the Borealis at some point. So a cargo ship being forcibly-pulled out of time & space-flux to crash into a dyson sphere isn't that huge a jump in "that world's logic or lack thereof"

>>388288345
It's not stable and it's technology very unfamiliar to them, which is why they're researching it for as long as they can whenever it phases in.

Also, try not to get muddied down by time travel shit. It always contradicts itself and we have no way of knowing how time really works in different environments. Just conjecture.

>>388289107
A contractor for a rival organization to the Combine.

>>388288750
The g man wanted the cascade to happen. He would have made it happen. With or without freeman.

I actually think the gman is simply a pressure relief valve for the combine. He lets the militants and martyrs die off by leading them into a brick wall. Much like he just left freeman in laidlaw's writing.
It takes the vortigaunts to stop gman from getting freeman killed. I dont know why they do it. Maybe theyre simply endebted to him. Either way. Gman is a symbol of the combine and tricks civilizations into obedience.

Crashing the ship was part of his plan.

>>388288519
it would be a directionless shitfest

>>388289348
Oh I don't doubt it but I'm also sure multiple groups of people will try to do it eventually.

Even if Valve never makes this, how long until some nerds make the game themselves now that the official script (sort of) is out so they can use it as a guide-line?

If anything, this thing is a heaven send. I trust some basement dwelling giga-nerds to do a good job than the current Valve.

Vortigaunts were enslaved by the Nihilanth, which Freeman killed to stop the Xen portals from bleeding into the home dimension, and the resulting energy clash caused by its death is what the G-Man was after.

Our current, best design for that reactor involves laser induced micro-black holes, right? The easiest way we could do this is with antimatter, but the production of antimatter is cost and energy prohibitive.
The energy output of a Dyson swarm could serve to mitigate that energy deficit.
The mass necessary to create an entire Dyson sphere, not a swarm, is magnitude borderline unimaginable. I don't believe we'd even have enough in our entire galaxy system.

>>388279834
You were never going to see it in third person, anyway. That's not how Half Life operates.

They're all pretty good. Half-Life 1 has wonderful gameplay and like >>388285123 says, the story is used as a frame for the gameplay.

Half-Life 2 trades guys for glitter. New, fancy engine to show off facial animation shit and physics shit.
The gameplay is still okay, even great given today's standards, but it's not nearly as good as HL1. HL1 is not even as good as its expansion, Opposing Force.

>>388286362
I'm more upset that the first game they have announced in a long time is a fucking card game
I understand that source 2 is a large undertaking but we got screens of l4d2 maps in the new engine how many years ago? Does everyone just update dota 2 and that's it?

Ok, just got done reading the TLDR fuck off story that supposedly is the ending to half life.

But now it's ruined. He ruined any chance we ever had of getting Ep 3 in its current form, by being selfish and craving attention. He spoiled what could've been the greatest game plot of all time. If it wasn't cancelled before, it definitely is now.

>>388292729

It's a linear fps with amazing level design and the game never takes control away from you. Stuff is scripted and happening all around you, but the whole game is continuous from beginning to end. The OST ranges from moody and subdued to adrenaline-pumping and scene-stealing depending on the situation, but most of the time its moody. All in all, it's a wild ride and the gameplay completely holds up.

Do you think that's why Gaben gave up on the story? It devolved into the regular mess sci-fi does?
I could barely watch interstellar anymore because of the upper dimension shit. Who am l or anyone to say what it is?

I could understand Gabe not wanting to simulate anymore of a story he sees as too far gone.
Even if it tries to play into quantum ideas of popping in and out of space and blablabla. Sometimes things can be too far gone.

In reality. Half lifes story easily could have just been a disposable paper back book. It easily could have ended in a novelization. Like it probably just did with a blog post.

>>388292478
Did it ever crossed your mind that he did because he knew it wouldn't ever happen anyway?

>>388297938
I did think about that, as Kleiner knew what happened to the Borealis, so it must have happened before the events of Half Life, and made public in the scientific community.
But in the episode 3 summary it says
>Unfortunately, the device had never been tested. As the Combine pushed Earth into the Seven Hour War, the aliens seized control of our most important research facilities. The staff of the Borealis , with no other wish than to keep the ship out of Combine hands, acted in desperation. They switched on the field and flung the Borealis toward the most distant destination they could target: Arctica.
Of course these are two conflicting stories, im just going to go with this new canon. The theory still works either way.

If that's true why didn't G-Man kill Dr. Kleiner? Kleiner managed to build a portal device that is superior to that of the Combine with scraps in his basement.

Also why didn't he eradicate the Vorts who can proved to be able jump around time and space without problem when they saved Gordon from the ship and transported them into the future

I'm just saying because some people here don't understand how powerful a civilization that can build a structure with the size of a million earths is

>CTR monitor
what a shitty timeline is this?

>>388309000
Make sure you have one where it's alyx leaving with the Gman.

So who or what exactly is G-Man?
Is he literally a timelord or some shit?

What did i miss?

I leave /v/ for a week and now there is like a half life thread every twenty minutes?

Some new news, or?

daily reminder that our guy marc tried to warn us long time ago

>>388309361
There's a fucking sticky at the top of the first page you fucking blind faggot.

>>388309229
It's CRT

>>388309229
You think people were inventing new kinds of monitors after the combine took over earth for 20 years?

>>388309361
It hurts that I share a board with such fucking retards.

>>388283598
Why is this alien race so human like?

>>388281589
The plot of the episodes were supposed to be about Gordon escaping Gman's clutches. Gman ditching Gordon when he really needs him and replaces him with Alyx is pretty fitting.

>all that shootin
>earth isn't even a blip on the combines radar, they can just send infinity at the problem

Portal and Half Life have such grim realities. It's too bad we'll never see the conclusion of either.

>>388309229
CTR makes monitors now? Fucking clintons

I have never played Half Life

>It's too bad we'll never see the conclusion of either.
There's like the 0.99% chance that DOTA flops like LoL is currently. MOBA's are dying. And I really don't think anybody's going to buy Artifact when Heartstone and Magic the Gathering already exist. So maybe there's a chance that Valve will actually have to start making good games again

>>388309879
>I have never played Half Life
You should. It's just like one of the fews game series/games that every /v/irgin should play like Chrono Trigger.

>>388289348
Well at least Episode 3 should only be around 5 to 7 hours of gameplay, so it won't turn into another Black Mesa mess.

Although a lot of the stuff and concepts in episode 3 seems way more ambitious than episode 1 and 2 so who knows. Modders are really bad at planning too, so I'm sure they are eventually getting stuck once they have to make time-altering effects and giant dyson spheres.

>>388309961
>MOBA's are dying.
Yeah, but then why would DoTa die when it's not a MoBA?

I can't believe how few people remember this. Even during the conversation with Breen at the end of HL2, it becomes obvious as fuck that him and the Gman collaborated to cause the resonance cascade.

>>388309521
This is a very interesting point. If we assume HL takes place in the same year it was released (1998) the seven hours war probably takes place in like 1999, so that's actually a very plausible explanation.

>>388279834
Does anyone even care at this point?

>>388310420
I do

>>388309000
draw the Borealis in mid phase. with combine tech surrounding it, trying to stabilize it.

>>388279834
Don't give a frig. Story driven FPS is a garbage genre.

its deformed and it has an anus for mouth but still...

>>388279834
But a crappy dyson sphere doesnt even fit into the hl universe, no wonder they scrapped his writing.

OMG SO HUMAN-LIKE!!!

>>388283664

HL1 is fucking fantastic. Expansions are even better.

>>388309000
I'd like to see the Borealis warping in and out of space time in the combine base.

Now you make sure not to fuck it up. There's pottery at stake.

>That's not really part of the story, it's obviously Marc talking directly about Valve, the wording is very weird compared to the rest of the plot (how could there be new members of HIS research team from black mesa?)

just because it has a double meaning about nuValve doesn't mean its not part of the story, dumbass

>>388312481
This right here, everyone keeps fucking insisting that freeman dies or something when it's not just about marcs passive aggressive valve thing

You guys need to stop casually quoting that fat black fellow who hates Christians and doesn't really know science, or Michio Kaku to sound like any of you know what you're talking about.

Stop it. And if you get invited to social events, don't try this shit to impress anyone because it's cringey and everyone sees you as "that guy."
