      one of these catastrophes was caused by sentient AI and killed almost all inside the facility.
      the other was caused by curious humans and killed half of the people inside the facility and half of the people outside the facility (roughly four billion)

    • @Anastas1786
      @Anastas1786 6 лет назад +131

      Yeah. He may be one of the more recognizable single video game protagonists, but he really kinda just _fell in_ to heroism after everything had already gone sour. He wasn't actually anyone all that important beforehand.

    • @smiglo112
      @smiglo112 5 лет назад +92

      @@Anastas1786 Except he kind of was. G-Man has seemingly pre-selected a bunch of important individuals into his (or his masters) plan, amongst which you can find Gordon, Shepard and likely others.
      He has a "classified" sponsor in the facility. He's CONSTANTLY watched by G-Man throughout the game (even before the cascade). And is taken away by him at the end only to end up in the train to City 17 at the start of HL2.
      Gordon is clearly an important person, it's just that he's important for different reasons. For Black Mesa employees, he's just one of the many PHDs there. But in overal plot of the world, he's possibly one of the most important people out there.

      The most significant thing Gordon did in Half Life 1 was kill the Nihilanth. In Xen he may have been a hero and a liberator, but in Black Mesa he was just a survivor, like all of his security guard friends and scientist colleagues.

    Half-Life seriously deserves it's own live-action Netflix series already. It wouldn't work as a standalone film, not successfully, but a prequel series with a second or third season going over the events of the first game.
