Hl story

[Gajdycz]

listen, i played hl waaay back in 1999, and i havent the energy to replay it. so, could u guys fill in the story for me?

i know that:

GF was a researcher at Black Mesa, and that experiment og his prompted and alien invasion

The government tried to keep things quite by killing everyone

The G-man, i dont know

Admin idont know

everything after GF launches the rocket(lambda) is fuzzy and unclear

plz fill in blanks, thnx

You pretty much covered what we know. The G-Man works for the Government, responsible for the Cleanup, asks you to join him at the end of the game. Admin, no-one knows, responsible for the experiment? I don't really care to think about this stuff.

Black Mesa was blown up... Gordon killed what seems to have been the ruler of Xen... Adrian Shepherd killed the Race-X Gene Worm... Barney helped a bunch of scientists scarper...

...Gina and Collete stoped the worst parts of the invasion from happening ... And then, the base gets nuked.

You know, I still don't consider that part of the story. The Gine and Collete thing, I mean.

Also if you want to know anything about the story: http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/half_life_script.txt

That's all the dialogue in the game.

who are they and what did they do?
I just played opposing force and the original all the way through again and I don't remember anything about that.
Was it in blue shift?

It was a thing called "Decay" that was only in the PS2 version.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Yeah, it was really fun.

Why don't you consider it part of the storyline?
It explains a lot of plot points, tying in with the others.
And it was made by Gearbox, which means that it's just as valid as OP4 and Blueshift.

I wish to play that 'Decay' thing but I dont have PS2 ...

Is a site that has a write-up of the story of HL, and a whole bunch of speculation thrown in too, and it does have quite a bit of info about the storyline of Decay. Shame that was PS2 only.

Second post and I'm ranting, and it's slightly off topic

[rant] f*****g sony and there paying people to make "extra" content, point in case - splinter cell and res evil: code veronica! [/rant]

I dunno, without that, there'd be no Decay at all, and then I couldn't play it.

Plus, if it weren't for the idea of a dreamcast exclusive half-life, there'd be no blueshift.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

A shame that id didn't come out on dreamcast though, I was looking forward to that, until I beefed up my PC that is

 

[SMT]

On another side note (sorry!), Dreamcast is great cheap entertainment these days. You can buy one for $50 at a game store (if you can find someplace that still carries them) and games run from $5 to $10... a console for the budget conscious gamer.

I should really finish Shenmue sometime. And Shenmue 2. And go back and play Soul Calibur using controls that didn't make my hands scream... (the GC controller is just wrong).
