i like the ambience of the early versions but you have to admit that in every interation the storyline was a complete clusterfuck until the 2003 redesign

Having a cuck fetish for your daughter is how nature intended that fetish to be used

Sure thing pal, hope you don't mind if I bring that camera to take photos of our security and infrastructures, it's for my kids, trust me. Also do you mind I go interrogate prisoners alone with the cameras off? Also don't worry about leaving bodies, I'll make them disappear.

He's explictly 30 minutes late for work, which leads to the whole situation with the resonance cascade and him being at ground zero.

>On the other hand i consider that speed run to be canon to the lore because it's funnier that way.
>How could one man have slipped through your force's fingers time and time again? How is it possible? This is not some agent provocateur or highly trained assassin we are discussing. Gordon Freeman is a theoretical physicist who had hardly earned the distinction of his Ph.D. at the time of the Black Mesa Incident. I have good reason to believe that in the intervening years, he was in a state that precluded further development of covert skills. The man you have consistently failed to slow, let alone capture, is by all standards simply that—a bullet with legs. How can you have failed to apprehend him?

Will half life 3, or even something similar, EVER happen?
like really, at this point it's a situation when if it's not revolutionary then it can't happen. that's probably why we haven't got anything in the first place even if some prototypes were made.
HLVR doesn't count.

oh. Are you sure they don't have to work?

We'll probably get it and it will be a DN:F or worse considering Valve current workflow.

not like it will happen either.

Stalker are here to do the work.

OH NO NO NO

If you have a son and he gets married, his wife can cheat on him and your genetic line ends. Hell, he might just end up involuntarily celibate. If you have daughters, not only are they guaranteed to be able to reproduce, but it's also guaranteed they can't be cuckolded and your genetic line will continue.

How would you feel if a new Half Life game came out but there was another timeskip Freeman was in stasis. Kleiner and Barney are dead and when you reunite with Alyx she is an old woman leading the resistance. What would your reaction be?

The HEV actually has a helmet. Its where the HUD comes from and is the reason head crabs don't grapple.

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more fulfilling than having a daughter. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are feeding, clothing, raising and rearing a girl for at least 18 years so that the world might experience a radiant bundle of happiness and love. All the hard work you put into your beautiful little girl - reading her stories at bedtime, making her go to sports practice, making sure she had a healthy diet, educating her, playing with her. All of it amplifies the joy everyone she meets shall experience when she greets them and takes precious time from her day to make theirs a little better.

Raised the perfect girl? Great. Who benefits? Everyone. Strangers on the street get a friendly bystander that will wish them well, the homeless will get a wealthy and intelligent girl that runs shelters to feed them and find them honest work to get off the streets. The lucky man or woman who marries her will get the perfect partner, and you'll benefit from gaining a second child in her spouse, one who will be a dear friend that thanks their lucky stars you raised such an astounding woman.

As a man who has a daughter, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 20 years of your life simply to grant your wondrous, miraculous daughter and all the people around her a better life. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL reward. Think about it logically.

Women can get cucked too user. Your daughter might end up a cat lady.

Yes.

Kinda mad since the last game ended on Eli death and Alyx fucking crying.

My daughter isn't Claire redfield user.

Yes. Old people want grandkids OP must not be Asian or Hispanic.

You know what let's flip the switch on this. Let's say that your daughter is sweet and innocent for the first ~16 years and then when she has boys who are falling in love and want to marry her, she one day says to you that she doesn't really want to have a relationship and just wants to have fun (AKA have casual sex). Is this better or worse?

He probably did horrible things to earn that trust.

>or woman
Fuck off faggot

people around you get arrested and taken away for the smallest shit but you're too sedated to really notice and forget about it fast. you can't remember the names of the family that used to live next door or whether you had any neighbors at all
only right-wing conspiracy nuts who live innawoods or purchased Alex Jones' water filter realize there's something going on
all you know is that the Combine gave you food and a place to live, and as long as you don't do like those troublemakers do, you'll have that

lol

good thing this problematic man got cancelled

I'm sure someone lost his equipment and got turned into a stalker, or even a whole container full of it since the resistance has a lot of combine tech.

They seem to be given more than needed, you often fight soldiers with AR2 but then find a shitload more rifles lying around.

Looks better than weeb shit games.

What else never happend?

Did Gordon impregnate Alyx before crashing the Borealis into the Combine Dyson Sphere causing a supernova meltdown?

And that's how you end up blaming other people for your own problems.

Gordon crashing the Borealis into the Dyson Sphere was actually an innuendo.

Why do Barney fanboys exist? He's more of a prop than an actual character.

Y chromosomes are important, thats why lines of kings are important

The same could be said for all of half-life

Shut your whore mouth. Barney is a pure boy who only wanted to buy you a beer.

Yes true, but i still feel like Barney is more useless than everyone else in the HL.

Barney? More like GAYney lmao

His voice actor is good

Because it's nice to have someone who's unconditionally amicable towards you when you're stuck in hardship.

We have to go back.

they just live but no labor. and they join CP of their own. Stalker/soldier only are for willing CP/Strong rebel (for soldier) and weak delinquent (Stalker)

No. Combine just torments them by turning them into depressed incels with no internet access.

>breen also knew about the gman.
head canon is that the resistance paid Gman for Gordon's service, and the Gman talking to all of the resistance leaders isn't just a gag but part of the story
probably outbid breen however exactly the rebels paid for it

Kleiner could have done that so that makes Barney completely useless.

Are you guys dumb? They absolutely do labor.
>"Citizens reminder, inactivity is conspiracy"

but what do they do? we never saw them work. a lot just chill in their house. food and water are free.

They don't do anything, the entire thing is to make them choose to become CPs
>get bored all day
>starving all day and the little food you get is shit
>can't mate
>forced to change home several times a month

I really miss the clear visuals with sharp textures of the late 90s/early 2000s. I don't like all the post-processing shit that came later which makes the games look muddy and lose visual clarity.

they can mate, but not reproduce.
Combine still can't produce sperm, just have cybersex in the brain.

I could see Valve contracting it out in several years since they've lost their monopoly with Steam
the gimmick would probably be realistic water physics and games showcasing that for a new engine
and/OR the next-gen or next-next-gen in VR

Most likely meaningless, unfulfilling labor jobs.

It's about not giving away rebellious actions.

Rebels clearly mentions their inability to do anything, and their will to hump once the citadel is down.

Quintessential Yea Forums post

Steam had a monopoly?

Huh, could have sworn that meant if your some lazy shit that doesn't do your meaningless job you can get arrested.

a rebel does say one time "Restriction to mate, like i'm listening to them anyway". so i dunno.

He's a goddamn genius, he can do anything.

I wonder, do the collaborators, while not in the cp, are rewarded?

and do we even know what is the food? we know there's the breen water for free outside of the rations with probably some other beverage in minimum ammount.

Yeah, that's not what geniuses do.

This is why fascism is returning to the west right now

there's not really any evidence for that though outside of that statement which is just general ominous newspeak stuff
I remember at an earlier stage in HL2, the beta, it showed children working but obviously that was all changed and now there's little to no evidence of them working nor would it make sense when stalkers can do most of that stuff and better

Breen is one of the face of the resistance, unlike Barney who is a literal who.
Isn't what user said more like communism,

pretty near
obviously most people could buy games direct from the companies or w/e but steam was just very convenient and tended towards having more sales

I'm innocent so no worries for me.

He's an awkward spaz with the social grace of a ostrich, and he does not know how to tone it back. He is TERRIBLE with public appearances, the game is very explicit about this. He'd blow his cover after 2 minutes just because he used a word that was too big for the other grunts to understand.

That's not a monopoly retard, there are reasons to bitch about steam but and even calling them too big, but that's not a monopoly

I'd be pissed
reminds me of when I learned Skyrim did that, was cheap and annoying because I was really excited at the end of Oblivion when you're talking to Chancellor Ocato about helping him keep the Empire together it sounded fun and I wish they were endgame gameplay to reflect that a bit

Forcing citizens to work shit labor jobs is another form of supression though. Think about it, wake up ass crack of dawn work almoat 12 hours a day doing construction maintenance, janitorial shit or any other type of labor heavy job and then coming back home to eat horrible sludge from your rationpack.

shut the fuck up virgin

Seething Barney soibois defending their meme man

This guy gets it.

they already have stalker for that.
do stalker even keep their old memories?

super-based

>I wonder, do the collaborators, while not in the cp, are rewarded?
From the overwatch audio files, it seems cooperating gives a small reward
>Attention residents: miscount detected in your block. Cooperation with your Civil Protection team permits full ration reward.
but then again that happens when everyone get beaten up to death, on the other hand it seems citizens can get punished just for being in the wrong building
>Attention occupants: your block is now charged with permissive inactive coercion. 5 ration units deducted.

>and do we even know what is the food? we know there's the breen water for free outside of the rations with probably some other beverage in minimum ammount.
We don't know, from citizens dialogues saying that it taste horrible but it's the only permanently available source of food. But it wouldn't be surprising if it's also loaded with drugs like their drinks.

Stalkers are for Combine only things. Manual labor for citizens would be breaking rocks in the hot sun, individually bricking roads by hand, sweeing the streets by hand, trimming hedges. The most shitty things you can think of that will take longer because it's all manual.

Other dialogues from the overwatch seems to assert this, "inactivity" is inactivity regarding crimes, and citizens being punished for not doing so.

I think it's mostly implied they couldn't during Episode 1

Idiots, Gman is more than likely an advisor. it was stated by the story writer than those things are in larval state but when they grow up they can change their shape to anything, including a human and that not all of them are "evil".

There are only 2 real clues as to what Gman is:

So he's obviously from the future and wants humanity to not into time travel.

So Gman and his benefactors are juat super far into the future Humans who discovered time travel? Thats retarded and I like the other theory that Gman and his Benefactors are almost like the Combine from a different dimension however they don't spread like a cancer and have some shred of morality in them. And seeing how Humans discover efficient teleportation that would increase the probability of the Combine gettong to their dimension so they turn the Gman into a Thin Man and do everything they can to disrupt Combine operations on Earth through Gordon
