I love reading the comments on this vdeo, it's nice to hear what people think of my ''theory''. Hope you enjoyed the video, I'm probably gonna make more videos like this from now on :D
Hey i just discovered that at 4:20 if you go back to the guy with radio and supply crate (full of SMG ammo) that place will crush and i must say that i almost discovered something just look at my second reply i will copy paste it from my comment
Like barney always mensions even in the episodes. Gordon is always being followed..BY ANYTHING. Antlion, zombies in ravenholm, the citizens and rebels and the combine. Gordon freeman is the only true hero. He sacrificed so much all the way to the end of his journey, also freeman himself fought so much on his own. He made it from ravenholm, a literal hell. Even father grigori almost had to sacrifice himself but i guess he did not die. What i think is that half life 3 was going to have a bad ending and gmans final speech was going to be the stuf in this video. Gman was going to tell him the consequences of his actions. I think gordon shouldnt have agreed with gman to work with him. Ah freeman.. Did you think gman was just going to send you to city 17 just because you said 'ok i accept your offer'. Now people pay for your choice freeman. Gman is the evil and gordon did the evil's job. We eat food but gman eats hope. We all know how gordon gave hope to people along his journey to the citadel and even by his arrival. But what did it cost? Even his arrival cost so much people's lives. Gman was going to eat all the hope and leave unforeseen consequences behind instead of what people wanted to have. Thats how he works. I always tought why does gman just allow us to go to the citadel and destroy it. Because he needs the hope inside humans. So he did not do anything to us all along the freemans adventure. Gman was also going to take another person's hope which is eli vance. He was going to kill alyx but the vortigaunts did not allow that. I guess alyx accepted gmans offer in the end of Hl: Alyx and gman saved his father. Well we will all see the consequences of her choice in the next half life game.
@@zombine7103 yes i noticed how the place crushes, however i decided not to put that in the video because you can't see if the guy dies or not.
that theory is really good, i honestly cannot wait to see what happens in the next game.. if they ever make one
Vortigaunts See Gordon as Christ the Redeemer.
@@noclick you read all? Thanks man. Hey did you notice how valve doesnt care about their characters in the games? I think i found their secret of making games. Our character doesnt have any ability or something. All you think about is just the environment and what is going on at that moment. All the others are also the same. I think thats valves way to make games. Even in left 4 dead 2 the survivers are an actual team and friends. They made it perfect. It is a perfect teamwork survival thats what left 4 dead 2 focuses on. And portal games did the same thing as half life 2. And if the game gives you so much things abilities or more guns the game makes you use all of them and actually play as some very strong guy. I mean in half life 1 you have so much guns you run around very fast. Especially doom eternal. But half life 2 doesnt focus on that. You dont have much weapons but the realistic physics, simple and not cool reload animations make you completely focus on the situation at that moment. What i can tell you about this last thing is that mmod doesnt make half life 2 better man. I think everything was already designed perfectly. And they never let the player just close the game. There is no cutscenes to take your hands away from the keyboard. But even if there is cutscenes in half life games, it is because you really cant control your character at those moments. Like in half life 1 soldiers carrying gordon freeman. He isnt actually awake so he cant really move so you just sit back and listen to their speech only at that moment but it doesnt take too long. Also in half life 2 where you are in a pod that goes all the way up to the citadel you also cant move, i mean its impossible to move in that pod :) our only ability in valves games which we are meant to focus on their story or their sceneario or the action we only have a flashlight lol. Our only ability. And in portal you have no ability its just about the gun in your hands. But if it is your character that you need to focus here you have team fortress 2. A game that the characters actually make sense. No meaningless characters like in valorant. Any company can model some random dudes in the street and give them strange abilities that doesnt even make me think about it. Bro some games are like books they always give you something i recommend you to not waste your time with league of legends or valorant or even csgo. Yes games are meant to give fun but fun is not that good life isnt just fun. Games always helped me see more stories and learn English. Everytime i enter RUclips i watch English language videos i read the comments try understanding some jokes and stuf from there. You should never waste your time and always learn something even in the time when you just want to have some fun. Life is meant to be a school. You should always learn. This got to different points yes i dont think you will read all of this but thanks if you did and have a great day.
I am pretty sure that Freeman is not the bad guy, because 99% of the times in HL2 is unaware of the consequences of his actions, since the Gman dropped him on a train into a city commanded by an alien force and he doesn't know how strict they are...
So that means that he is not a free man
@@davidlinch7744 yes
Me too
yes your right the g-man bosses are the bad guys btw did you mean unforseen consequences (its a joke)
I think that him murdering half of the science team in cold blood during the resonance cascade makes him evil.
Calling Gordon evil is like calling the mailman a provocateur because they caught the attention of the vicious dog who ran out and bit someone.
Shit if you play Fallout New Vegas that's basically what happened if you shoot the legion guys at Nipton lol

@@deadchannel8189 "Forgot about Freeman " well this means they want him before running away
Gordon : Exist
Noclick : It's your FAULT
fuckin nikocado over here
to be evil is to have malevolent intentions, there's a reason why crazy people aren't evil and why accidental killings don't make the killer evil. I doubt Gordon intended to hurt these people, he was merely following the suggestions of Dr. Kleiner and others, as well as trying to understand this new world and its rulers. Gordon had to do something as he's the one with the ultimate protective gear and the one to do G-man's bidding.
I thought over it, and I figured that freeman wasn't even free. He was being used by g-man all along. Which represents his miserable, unavoidable fate. And I like how valve intended all of those small details almost 17 years ago. What valve tried to say with them isn't that he is evil. What they really intended to say was that like all those rebels, he's just a guy in depressing destiny. That no one can ever escape.
Who are we but slaves to the flames?- Bonnie from animation by animator xsploshi
Freeman is just an employee. During his workhours he's free, during brakes he sleeps at Gmans place
Because he isn't free for his own destiny he lives a Half Life
i thought HE was g man
Oh! You're very good at English!
from my point of view, you can only be a real bad guy in HL1, and that's why Gordon's choice at the end (with Gman) matters so much, because until that point, you REALLY are a "free man". Now it's true that Valve said that due to problems in the engine was the cause of unkillable NPCs, BUT you could also argue, that since you took Gman's offer, you basically aren't a "free man" anymore, and just one of Gman's slaves. YOU do all the dirty work for HIM (that's also the reason why you can't kill anybody, Gman is the one who doesn't let you do it).
Conclusion: If anybody dies beacuse of Freeman's acts, it's actually Gman's fault, since HE put you into those situations (he's also the one pulls all the strings in the background for Freeman's sake, and other peoples' lives don't matter for Gman, that's why they can't be saved either)
i remember in new little odessa you could actually run over the guy holding the gate, and it would get you a game over by saying "failure to keep important personnel alive" or something like that.
I like to imagine Gordon could still be selfish or immoral in HL2, but just doesn’t kill NPCs as it would interfere with G-Man’s plans
Gordon was scared. His name is supposed to be ironic. By dropping a cornered animal like Gordon into the Combine's den, the GMAN ensured Gordon would spaz out and literally run in any direction and kill literally everything in his path with little regard for the safety of others just to reach safety. Half Life 2 is merely the story of GMAN steering this walking bulldozer towards the Citadel. It is only when the Vortigaunts interfere do we see Gordon be allowed to fully commit himself to the rebel cause. Alyx grounds him in a sense, and he her. Half Life 2 is all about saving humanity. Both Gordon's and Earth's
@@mashedpotatogin236 free from what exactly? People say death is a release, but is that just a rumor spread by the reaper to calm terrified souls? It is said god protects his children, yet they still tremble in fear at the sight of death
Assassin’s creed game quote, I think.
I don’t Gordon would be so keen on death, not many people are, so don’t say he’s the bad guy when it’s a rational though made by many
you can kill the friendly npcs with a console command that re-activates the friendly fire mechanic.
The combine always have been a force of oppression, humanity was doomed from the start once they got conquered, if anything Gordon directly saved humanity with hes actions by helping the resistance, but also indirectly making the combine to act more brutal, if they where not doing that from the beginning already. As for the metrocops and their families, them being threatened is probably another indirect way the combine are using to wipe out humanity slowly, but its also survival of the fittest, in war you dont see a human with family but a target that is trying to kill you. In the end gordon is not an evil person if anything he is fighting for humanity, gman on the other hand for a mysterious neutral character really did a number on humanity.
Actually the only reason why a lot people join civil protection is to “get decent food” rations supposedly taste like crap, you learn this at the half-life fandom wiki
Also I wouldn’t doubt the combine to be that manipulative, I’d be surprised if they’re not, also I’m wondering why there’s such a craze with sympathizeing with villains and overall bad guys
@@bulletopera409 Fandom is not the most trustworthy source honestly, also in game chatter proved that the metrocops do care about their families wich is another reasson they join.
@@thatdudemetro6271 wiki/fandom wiki, 99% of things in them are based on such things as in game chatter of npc's. And many other stuff.

You saying that you trust stuff from the game, but you don't trust description written based on stuff from the game?
"We owe a great deal to Dr. Freeman, even if trouble does tend to follow in his wake."
-Isaac Kleiner
This whole video should just be called, “Unforeseen Consequences”
The premise is incorrect. Gordon can't be "evil" for getting these characters killed off unless he made decisions specifically to do so.
For instance in the apartment, how would he have even known that going in there would trigger a raid? The guy sacrificing himself at the door was simply shouting Gordon an instruction, so that choice was his, not Gordon's.
For the rest of the game the combine follow Gordon and blow things up trying to get him, but again none of that is really up to him. He's following the instructions he is being given and trying to stay alive. The game hints at the consequences this has for others, but Gordon has no real choice either way.
Without a choice and knowledge of the implications it can't be possible to categorize Gordon's actions as evil, because you can't be evil by accident.
We need a word for being accidentally evil like "Anti-Hero" and stuff.
"Is Gordon Good?"
That one kid: Yes
Meanwhile the scientists: am I joke to you?
Imagine killing all Scientist in black mesa
Am I the only person who didnt slaughter the scientists in hl1?
@@myth0572 nope
Technically, the scientists were doomed as soon as the residence cascade happened, in fact the whole world was never gonna be the same, all because of gman and his employers, Gordon got roped into this
Only players controlling gordon and kills other npcs in black mesa, that means.......the player is evil!!
Nah, everything is Gman’s fault and freeman isn’t actually one.
Yea, Gordon is just didn't know what is Combine
@@AbdullahEkici34 I guess maybe he's not the Right man in the wrong place, he's just the Wrong man in the right place. (Or that's adrian shephard)
And another, Gordon is Free man...
*if we mean that he free people souls from this damn world*
See? I told his theory was a pile non-sense.
In HL2, Barney stopped Gordon from entering that train en-route to Nova Prospekt in the first place. If Barney fails to do that, Gordon might have turned into a Stalker..
The Gman wouldn't let that happen anyway
don’t forget the GMan is more powerful than the combine entirely so he can pluck gordon out and turn him back to normal or reverse time
"We owe a great deal to doctor freeman, even if trouble does tend to follow in his wake" evil? nah, just unlucky.
It might be because of him but he's not intentionally doing it.
you can’t ask “is gordan freeman evil?” then have the only reasons behind it being “wherever you go death follows both allies and enemies” cuz that can be applied to master chief and plenty of other games too lol
you can ask
so, that means that everywhere the Gordon Freeman goes wheres people. when they die, its automaticly Gordons fault?
I mean, when they're directly caused by Gordon fumbling around like a fucking moron causing havoc for random people just trying to live their lives the best they can? Yes, yes it is.
Edit: Also, it's literally stated the Gordon can speak, he just chooses not to by Valve. Do you know, how many situations could've been solved by like, two or three sentences?
@@IPEsometimes How is he fumbling around like a moron? He is going where other people are telling him to go.
my guy just woke up from a 20 year coma and is in a completely changed world
it's not his fault he doesn't know all the rules and laws of an alien regime
@@IPEsometimes that's chell you're talking about, gordon is mute
@@YitocukKilic a scientist mentioned he got a phone call with gordon in hl1 how is he mute
In my language we have a saying that applies really well to this situation. It basically means “He who goes to war, kills and gets killed.” This is exactly the situation happening here. All those rebels, by joining the rebellion, basically signed their death sentences. They would either die for helping Gordon, or they’d die when the Combine eventually finds them. I think they would all prefer the former, since at least they got to help in overthrowing their terrible regime. Truth be told, if it wasn’t for Gordon, the suppression field would still be up, and therefore, without Gordon, Humanity would have gone extinct, so the deaths of those people were necessary to prevent the end of the human race
Remember that these rebels died *for* Gordon, not *because* of Gordon.
It'd be one thing if Gordon used the rebels as meat shields, but in most cases it's more the Combine killing anyone who happens to be near Gordon more than it is Gordon letting the Combine killing anyone near him.
This is suspiciously similar to an ongoing event.
For some reason some of the really well known old game has so many details and interesting things that people are still discovering them now these days.
I know, for me if it's something bad from Gordon
Do you remember what Dr.Breen said?
He tells you that you've destroyed so much.
Just listen to what he says, its all true..
He frees Earth from the combine though. The resistance and everyone else prefers that over the Combine still being there. Even if it cost a lot
@@xXRealXx I didn't say breen was the good guy, I just said the claims he made were true.
Destroyer which is trying to destroy another alien destroyer. Maybe that makes him a hero, because he is trying to destroy a thing which destroys our planet, humans, history and basically everything.
@@Dadaskis we live in a society 😂
> you have destroyed so much - what is it exactly that you have created?
he created a possibility for the humankind to continue existing?
also a transdimensional portal for the Combine to attack the Earth, lol
"We owe a great deal to Doctor Freeman- Even if trouble does follow in his wake
."
What makes a person evil is the intention, not the outcome. Half-life 1 too, shows how you accidentally cause other people's deaths (like where the elevator falls when you call it), but its more like "you caused this, will you be able to live with it" than "you are evil". Gordon never knew he would cause all of this, and is therefore not evil, he is more unlucky.
Veeery interesting reflection.
BUT...
1 - The HL1 scenes in this video, where Gordon kills friendly NPCs is false, because all that happens during the start of the game (chapter 1: Inbound) and at that time Gordon has no weapons. These video scenes must be possible thanks to a mod or a trick. However it's true that on many occasions, these games allow Freeman to kill everyone (although as a player you don't); it's his choice, this seeks realism.
2 - Civil Protection agents are human, yes, forced by the Combine to integrate technology into their bodies ("combine" tech and flesh) and to obey, but they do not have "families", since they are people torn from the rest and subjected; families no longer exist in HL2: as they say during the game, the water makes them forget (about who they are and who their family and friends are, in order to control them better; very few people manage to overcome this "brainwashing ", among them the main characters), and they also say that there are no more children (the Combine sterilized humans after their arrival on Earth and the last child was born a long time ago, and by this time he will already be an adult). The concept "family" has long been forgotten in the Earth of the HL saga.
3 - One thing is certain, and it's fascinating: although Freeman is not being tracked by the Combine and it's not him who kills the people he meets (the culprits are the Combine, Freeman tries to save the Humanity), YES it's true that Freeman is not free, because his surname "Freeman" was not chosen at random by the scriptwriters: since HL1 we know, from various conversations of the characters, from G-man to the Vortigaunts, passing through Nihilanth himself ("The truth... you can never know the truth... their slaves... we are their slaves... deceive you... he will deceive you... (G-man) you are man... he is not man... for you he waits... for you...!" Nihilanth shouts when he dies at the hands of Freeman), and this is revealed even by the titles of some tracks on the soundtrack (like "something secret steers us"), that Freeman is in a way a puppet wielded by a "superiror power", a power that G-man works for and... that they are not the Combine, but someone or something above, with a very unknown plan, higher than seen during the games so far. This is the most fascinating part in my opinion of this whole saga and that has not yet been revealed.
Gordan isnt evil, in the beginning Dr.Kleiner says "trouble tends to follow in his wake". I think these are all just examples of that. None of these are really entirely his fault and he definitely didnt mean for any of this to happen. Most of these people surely know that theyre doomed anyway and prefer to sacrifice themselves for gordan, whos pretty much humanities only hope, because theyd rather do that than keep living the way they are living.
gordon is just bad luck, none of this would have happened if someone else pushed the sample into the beam of the anti mass spectrometer
@@blockstacker5614 nobody else would've pushed it in, the gman would have made sure of it
It would’ve been different if gordon was sick, they’d probably delay it for another day and then the resonance cascade wouldn’t start
Like barney always mensions even in the episodes. Gordon is always being followed..BY ANYTHING. Antlion, zombies in ravenholm, the citizens and rebels and the combine. Gordon freeman is the only true hero. He sacrificed so much all the way to the end of his journey, also freeman himself fought so much on his own. He made it from ravenholm, a literal hell. Even father grigori almost had to sacrifice himself but i guess he did not die. What i think is that half life 3 was going to have a bad ending and gmans final speech was going to be the stuf in this video. Gman was going to tell him the consequences of his actions. I think gordon shouldnt have agreed with gman to work with him. Ah freeman.. Did you think gman was just going to send you to city 17 just because you said 'ok i accept your offer'. Now people pay for your choice freeman. Gman is the evil and gordon did the evil's job. We eat food but gman eats hope. We all know how gordon gave hope to people along his journey to the citadel and even by his arrival. But what did it cost? Even his arrival cost so much people's lives. Gman was going to eat all the hope and leave unforeseen consequences behind instead of what people wanted to have. Thats how he works. I always tought why does gman just allow us to go to the citadel and destroy it. Because he needs the hope inside humans. So he did not do anything to us all along the freemans adventure. Gman was also going to take another person's hope which is eli vance. He was going to kill alyx but the vortigaunts did not allow that. I guess alyx accepted gmans offer in the end of Hl: Alyx and gman saved his father. Well we will all see the consequences of her choice in the next half life game.
Nilhanth once said "decive you he will decive you" this means g man will decive gordon , Also lets not forget G man employers they give orders to G man , Its like employers > G man > gordon
@Fax Machine i didnt understand what are you trying to say? What i said was never make a deal with gman he eats your hope and at the end always leaves unforeseen consiquences. I dont think gordon can save the world by always accepting what gman offers. He wont be succesful that way. Gordon maybe just tought he made his way to citadel and destroyed it but what did it cost? It almost cost alyx's life but vortigaunts saved her life. It always ends up with unforeseen consiquences. Like eli vance's death.
@Fax Machine yes i dont think gordon is aware of how gman works and unforeseen consiquences are the consequences of people's actions after making a deal with gman. Gordon just didnt know how gman works so that doesnt make him evil. Also i didnt say he is evil.
I would argue that most of these would be him being the right man in the wrong place (eh folks?) How was Gordon supposed to know there was a limited space for the apartment? How was he supposed to know that upon being spotted by Breen he would begin to crack down heavily on resistance hideouts/locations?
Also, for the HL1 bit for FF, I would say that’s entirely up to the player to decide if they wanted to kill their friends. I don’t think Gordon would actually do that.
Facts
Well Gordon doesn't even knew what's going on in city 17 when he arrived and most of the things combine did on purpose and they target wasn't only Gordon but rebels too. Gordon wanted only just get out but needed to defend himself too and this is only choice available for him , either he fight with combine either he die , the same thing was in black mesa too . Everybody were expecting from him to do some basic job like activating antimasspectrometer and pushing car with crystal and he did what he was told to do . And this is why he was the right man in wrong place in half life and half life 2 . He was solution ,he was able to survive in every situation ,but he was surrounded with enemies and problems that were affecting other people lives too in some way(good or bad) when he is around them . But he didn't want that . He was hero of the people ,he can't save all of them but he can save some fo them. However in the game you have free choice . The reason Gordon Freeman doesn't talk is cause he isn't only just character in the game but he is also your character, you decide what Gordon Freeman is gonna be or what he is gonna do or not . :)
Well if you think about it humanity would have lasted longer if freeman didn’t try blowing everything up dr breen wasn’t even that bad so I think freeman was the bad guy since he killed him and alyx and most others
@@Mini-wd7qz Maybe ,but in end when combine leave there is not gonna be humanity anymore ,either they will join combine like human and alien mix type creature or half machine with only orders or they will be dead . Combine is there just for temporary like gather sources of the planet and after that take from humans teleportation technology in same universe .
If someone enter your house then claim this house like his then enslaves you then use everything in your house and that probably leaves are you gonna just watch or resist ? Basically is like that be part of the aliens or live like animal in cage with poor choice of life . So I'm saying humanity had chance for first time to face combine again and not just like small resistance ,but bigger like the armies fought in 7 hour war . And unfortunately they won in the end of episode 2 by closing the portal and trap remaining combines in the Erath, and just need to wipe them out and thats it .
If Valve makes Half life 3 sometime my guess is either Gman or his employers will be the main villain, but we can't know ,could be something else too ,but it's logical Gman to be .
@@ilkeribrahim6541 In half life two they is a secret base where you can catch the rebels talking about how they miss the combine and that they actually missed breen so it couldn’t of been that bad for them to miss the combine
@@Mini-wd7qz You talking about the "couples" . It's probably, because of the war and the fight its not ending ,they weren't happy under rule of combine ,but they are not happy also fighting all the time and being in danger ,cause was taking too long ,but you need to do it so you can finish what you started and begin your new live without combine healing your wounds and repairing ,building and etc.
@@Mini-wd7qzhumanity is lasting longer, suppression field is down, the combine even though they escaped, they can get killed still
Nope he's not evil
He's just jerking around and no idea what he's doing.
Title : Gordon Freeman is Evil?
Gordon Freeman : *Angry Breathing sounds*
Gordon just want Kamp SAUCE
Where the lamp sauce!
Gordon really doesn't have much of a choice by the time he comes back, hes been gone for like, what, 2 decades by then? He has no idea what the fuck is going on, he doesn't know all the rules, he is just like in HL1: trying to survive.
In conclusion, Gordon is SUS
5:29 she most likely died from high radiation exposure, she doesn't have any protection from radioactive material, unlike Gordon, who has protection
In half life 1 it is shown that Gordon's hev suit as well as the hecu vests and suits withstand high degrees of radiation so it would explain why she died.
But then again people also live because of Gordon
"Whatever did it, it's Gordon's fault"
i think it's aiming for more like "Shape your own Freeman" with the ally killing. You could either kill them for loot (There won't be a lot of survivors and Gordon needs it to survive too) or you could leave them be and get help from them at the cost of slowing you down. Freeman isn't a psychopath unless you want him to be. That's why you can run from enemies but I haven't seen a single person at least try to spare any hostile NPC and i think that says something about ya'll.
fun fact: You can kill friendly NPCs in Half-Life 2 by yourself with a console command that allows you to re-activate the friendly fire mechanic
Gordon doesn't know CP is human even if he knew he woulf keep killing, why? To stay alive.
We owe a great deal to Dr Freeman. Even if trouble does follow in his wake
9:13 you decide if you get to kill the friendly npcs or not. But lets say gordon tried his best tp save the friendly npcs because then everyone would view him as a villian in hl2
I think Gordon is a Good Man
Gordon is controlled by your actions in hl 1, meaning that if you kill scientists and guards, you're the evil one
In hl 2 you really couldn't do much about these people, in the end of the day he didn't know they would die
What's interesting to me is that it shows how in HL1 Gordon had more free will since he could kill scientists and security guards and he also had a choice at the end of the game, but in HL2 he didn't have hardly any free will since he couldn't kill citizens to his hearts content and he also had no choice at the end of the game. Sorry if that made zero sense.
Also could you possibly make a video simply talking about the Combine and/or HL2 Ai???
@GoTi4No Well obviously it's because the game is designed that way, but it's still fun to 'theorise' about it. And I'm pretty sure the reason Marines are killable in Halo is because the devs wanted the player to be more careful in a fight, there isn't any huge consequences in killing Marines but it's there.
1:41
CP Officer: Hits gordon with electric baton.
Gordon: Descends from couch
I am, in fact, very evil
>:D
He’s not evil, he’s just the right man in the wrong place
“Just this once I hope you’re wrong.” *APC pulls up*
"The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world" - Gman
pretty sure the "miscount" refers to Freeman being unregistered citizen and thus wanted man and not the ammount of people allowed in the buildings
whatever it was, he was not supposed to be in that building
@@noclick then why did he chose to go there instead of quitting the game?
Now that i think about it, Gordon was the reason that Black Mesa was attacked by aliens and the subsequent combine invasion
... Gordon did not cause the incident of black mesa, as the game were going through some problems since the morning according to the security guard at the beginning they had problems for a long time adding that the experiment failed in the portal. No, Gordon is not guilty, other than he was sent to c17 by gman he was forced by gman to go so he is not free and obeys gman's orders, let us note that Gordon did everything to keep people safe, in conclusion: Gordon is not bad he is just one more slave to gman
The rain of portals that attracted the combines is black mesa's fault for not thinking of consequences and not taking action on the issue of failures.
@@dadoh6477 true but everything was going well till Gordon did the thing
9:53 I dont think gordon know that they have family
kleiner had 20 years to remove the suit's tracking devices
Gordon probably did not know about the rule with the blocks because he only spent like less than 10 minutes in the combine world
Mate, Freeman didn't know about CPs having families
Gordon freeman:"not evil"
The player's who controls him:"pure evil"
You’re forgetting the fact that WE play as freeman, so we decide if he’s evil or not (even though in the end, we still end up saving the world)
We have to make sacrifices in order to save Earth.
"Making the mother of all omelettes here, Jack. Can't fret over every egg."
Gordon doesn't need to hear all this, he's a highly trained professional
It’s very important to note that most of these people whos deaths were caused by Gordon with the exception of the “be happy your not the guy their looking for, poor bastard” dude (seriously who the fuck did they think they were after did he not know who you are? Basically died sacrificing themselves for Gordon as they knew he was coming and was the only person who could stop the combine, these are revolutionary’s fighting for Gordon.
This reminds me of what breen says to freeman at the end of half life 2. 'Tell me, Dr. Freeman, if you can: you have destroyed so much. What is it, exactly, that you have created? Can you name even one thing? I thought not'
Give the guy a break, from his perspective he just killed an alien monster, gets frozen in time and dumped into the post apocalypse combine occupied Earth in the space of an hour. Dude has every right to be too confused to know what's going on.
I chuckle at the thought of Freeman being like "WTF I just got here, why am evil" lol
Such question is decided by how the player acts in both games.
If the player chooses to be evil (e.g. killing scientists or do contradicting stuff for no reason) then Gordon can be concluded as evil.
And if the player chooses Gordon to be good (e.g. thoughts such as "Gordon was just involved in such a mess he shouldn't be into" or just do good stuff like save everyone in the Office Complex.), then Gordon can be concluded as good.
As what the game mostly offers, Valve gave the player the freedom of choice especially in the first game, instead of them creating the character wholly, it is decided that for the most part, we were given the freedom to craft the Gordon we want him to be, all purely based on the choices we make. It's all in the player's thought for the most part.
At least that's my thought.
Also, thanks for this release, noclick!
It's time for a new speedrun! HL2 without killing anyone
well it's the combine's fault because they didn't tell Gordon not to go in the building
8:28 he can't kill friendly npcs in HL2 because of gman, in hl1 gordon wasn't gman's employee yet so he was a free man but in hl2 he's gman employee so he not really a "freeman"
That last Civil Protection fact I didn't expect.
1:58 scanner dancing in the window
I was not ready for the truth man
Combine: *kills everyone and does horrible things to all citizens*
Combine: Why would Gordon do that?
When the combine hire a lawyer:
im sorry man the “you killed combine so you could be evil” is . Funny
5:09 This is actually the first appearance of the fast headcrab if you think about it. Most players first see them in Ravenholm, but this is their TRUE first appearance. This fact is pretty much useless information, since no one would think to go back all that way just to kill a headcrab. I would, because I spare the life’s of none in these games, but you know. I’m very good at telling people very useless information they already know.
"We owe a great deal to Dr. Freeman, even if trouble does tend to follow in his wake."
1:55 the guys in the apartment get all KO'd, not killed (apart for the poor little soul at the timestamp)... They're not THAT heartless :)
Also, a revolution sadly is built on the sacrifice
This is none of Gordon's fault because:
1. He didn't know this would happen
2. Gman put him there, so had no choice anyway
3. He was just trying to survive and he didn't hurt regular citizens and resistance members and refuges intentionally.
It's like in movies about super heroes: "If super heroes did not exist, then there would be no super villains and there would be no dead."
In the chapter called "Red letter day," dr. Kleiner says: "we owe a great deal to dr. freeman, even if bad luck comes his way" I think it's something to do with that. freeman doesn't have bad intentions as we see through the games. so, no he isn't evil. he's a hero. Also, it's the player's choice to kill the friendly NPCs.
Laszlo actually dies of a heart attack not Antlions.
I'm just watch the video of mermaid man saying eeeeevvilll and this video pop out.
If half life was an election and Gordon a candidate this would be the adversary's campaign video.
Evil Gordon Freeman be like:"thanks for that beer, I really liked it!"
I always assumed that the reason they were even claiming there was a miscount was because the combine advisors were basically telling them to by predicting that he'd be there (They have that power)
Gordon freeman: Am I evil?
Yes I fucking am
Am I evil?
I am man?
Yes i am
He's not a villain in this story. He does it because there is no other choice
samuel hayden be like:
Re: killing npcs, if you try to do that just after getting the mp5, the blast doors come down and a turret emerges from the ceiling as the scientists are verbally reacting. The first time I played the game, it was still new and I knew I just had to do it to see what would happen. I lobbed a nade at Barney and when his one eyed skull flew at me and landed at my feet, rotating to face me with those crunchy sound effects, I knew I was in love. The horror roots of this game make it feel so much more memorable and 'real' than others in the series! This is a game world where actions feel like they have consequences.
Funny how you upload on the same day where I had these exact thoughts.
he was absolutely *the right man in the wrong place..*
I once saw "fast headcrab first appearance" on a half-life iceberg and now I guess I know lol
Not evil, just an unknowing luck vampire.
Actually, in ep2 someone said that that he was smiling during killing antlions. So he may have fun killing things
8:01 i think lazlo just bleeds out...
Man...
I've played this game my whole life and haven't noticed this much detail, props to you noclick....
What if people beaten by CP aren't dead? If CP would be killing people for a miscount - they would run out of people too fast.
Also, there is that scene with a dead civilian and a woman next to him: you can spot that there's blood around him. When beaten in gameplay, citizens don't lose blood. Again, if Gordon without suit survives multiple hits and in the next moment jumps around, killing people with crowbar (in a cutscene!) - why would other people die instantly?
Also: these people are the Resistance. Of course, Gordon's presence led to their dead, but he did only what he was told - he was just moving along designated routs.
Why Gordon gets away with the massacre in Black Mesa? Well, there's no one to tell.
