You're right, but in Hl1, you're not constantly being reminded of it. In HL1 it's more like "Save us/Good luck Gordon" and that's it, until you go to Xen. Until then, you know you are in deep shit and you have to give it your all to make up for the mess you caused. Only until you get to Xen, you kind of start realizing that then is when you can put an end to it all.
In HL2 it's more like "OMG GORDON" "Hey it's GORDON FREEMAN" "stop GORDON FREEMAN" "GORDON FREEMAN is the Anti-Chri...Citizen" "Oh noes, GORDON FREEMAN stopped me" All of a sudden it wasn't you doing all of that stuff, you were made to do it, as if everybody was pushing you in the directions you had to go, and I'm not talking about Gman. "Daddy got captured, now YOU have to help me rescue him" In HL1, at least it felt like you were making choices, you decided where the fuck you were going and no one was there to tell what they wanted or thought about anything. And if it counts for anything, you were doing it by yourself. In HL2, you only had that in the beginning a bit, until you gained hero status and started raiding Nova Prospect, as if you stood a chance against the force that pretty much enslaved the earth. OOH antlions, I'm sure the rebels didn't think of that yet. But only YOU can do it, cos your god in this game. Then you lead a rebellion against the oppressors and destroy pretty much everything with a big boom. PRAISE FREEMAN. That's why I like the episodes. You're back to where you started. People respect you, but you're no superman. That rocket thing in Ep2 was pretty cool, but then you get screwed over again, reminding you that you are not all that. I guess that's what's bothered me.

Well I certainly never felt like a superhero in HL2... not sure what you're talking about.
You get to do the antlions because you have the grav gun and the ability to line shit up. Not to mention that in HL1 every scientist you run into is 'Gordon! Thank god you're alive! You've got to get to the surface!' etc. etc. etc. So... dunno what you're talkin aboot.

Since when did I ask you to agree with me?
It's just how I experienced HL2. It wasn't bad, just didn't like the parts after Ravenholm. Didn't like the themes and story after that, I guess. |

The point of all that stuff is that people turn to you because you are a symbol. Think about it, you don't ever speak, you just show up and start radically changing the ENTIRE WORLD in a very short time. Of course people who have been essential slaves to the machine look to you like you're a hero... perhaps it's because you ARE a hero. You saved their lives and the lives of their family. The reason point to you in the first place is because you've already proven yourself once before at being quite able to fight and kill and solve random puzzles. The resistance is being lead by the very scientists you've saved once before so you have a history. Basically, it's not random or forced on you, it happens naturally and as a course of the game. I'm only frustrated because you seem dissapointed in the game and it feels like you missed something. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to give you shit or anything. Even if it seems like it. You've got a right to your opinion and that's really all we're talking about here. I'm just saying it seems like you're basing your opinion on something that's missing an important fact. |

That's why I play SMod. Events are time-scripted so you can just boot the fucking NPCs and still get shit done.

Quite frankly, Valve seems to have development ADD, whereby they cannot focus on any one project till completion but instead must have several in the works by the same people at once. This is why you couldn't buy a new full sized Valve game last year, but rather Orange Box, which contained essentially 3 new small games (as well as the big game and it's first mini expansion). My problem is that different gamers have different desires, and not everyone who likes HL2 and the illogically named episodes will necessarily like portal or TF2, or necessarily want to buy them all at the same time. Sure you could buy only the pieces that you like, but then you end up paying way more than what they are worth, and you still have to wait longer for a continuation of the game in question.

i thought the orange box was excellant
if you're complaining you only got 3 games for 50 bucks, look at GoW. It's 60 bucks, the single player is around the same as EP2, and the multiplayer less. |
