What if Half-Life was all a dream? New HL series theory - Games

[QUOTE=Void Skull;21339422]Freeman sure fell down one helluva rabbit hole[/QUOTE] And chell, and Adrian Shepard, and Barney, and Collette Green and Gina Cross(?) [editline]01:22PM[/editline] So no.

[QUOTE=BBgamer;21344917]I've just come up with a kinda 'finale' to the whole Half Life thing. Gordon Freeman finds out that it was all a dream. He wakes up in an Aperture Science bed and meets Chell. Chell and Gordon escape (Portal 2 Co-Op mode) the labs and go outside. They find themselves meeting up with Zoey, Bill, Francis, Louis, (Left 4 Dead 1 characters) Ellis, Coach, Rochelle, and Nick (Left 4 Dead 2 Characters). They kill hell of a lot of zombies and they all die. The end.[/QUOTE] Cant wait!

..and then Gordon woke up from this terrible nightmare and said: ...

Dumb, dumb, [b]DUMB[/b] Idea. It was from the BETA, not the game we all play and love. It has NOTHING to do woth the actual story. Also "It was all a dream, hurr" is to much of an cliche for VALVe

There's always the possibility that he's hallucinating, seeing all the alien stuff when really he's actually fighting the government. If there's any credit to this theory at all, then I'd be more inclined to believe that's what's happening. Of course, that leaves plenty of holes; the uprising, his friends, where he goes, and the other people who experienced the same events as him. It's a pretty far-fetched idea, and probably one that will never even be hinted at by Valve, but I will never look at Half-Life quite the same after reading this.

G-Man is NOT a Government Man. He cannot be a Government man if he can teleport Gordon and speak to him privately. G-Man is a humanoid not a human.

This is really, really, really, really old. There was a thread about this on halflife2.net in 2003. They changed the story since then.

Don't Opposing force and Blue shift contridict this though

[QUOTE=The mouse;21347823]Don't Opposing force and Blue shift contridict this though[/QUOTE] Those were dreams of other people.

I saw myself get aten by my best friend in a dream. I dont want it to be a dream :C

[QUOTE=The mouse;21347823]Don't Opposing force and Blue shift contridict this though[/QUOTE] Yes, I acknowledged this in my last post. The theory can be bent to make some sense, but it doesn't offer an explanation of the experiences of those other than Gordon himself, and frankly I don't see a way to include them.

That would be fucked up.

So gordon got out of the hospital? Dr Breen? Alyx? Zombies all lies (hobos) ? Combine forces are police and army trying to stop the crazed man? What a trippy dream.

[QUOTE=xpod1;21340904]If it was a dream it would be a major cliche.[/QUOTE] Valve would have lost my respect, for one.

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;21339858]This is destroyed by Portal, unless people dream about being different genders and all that now[/QUOTE] Only sometimes

Oh hey. [IMG]http://radioheatwave.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/half-life-2-episode2ss.jpg[/IMG] What's that on the sign? Can you read it? Yes? You can't read in dreams. On a serious note, I also thought about it, but it'd be a real downer if it was true. Imagine the disappointment.

What if its a compromise? What if this is not Gordon's original body because G-man has to keep Gordon's original body asleep somewhere else in the time space continuum so he can remain un-aged for another 20 years and go to some other universe after the HL2 series? At least after Ep3, we should not worry about it being a dream because I am sure there is some giant Combine Advisor based universe he would have to visit in the next series over, or what about G-man? It better not turn out that G-man is one of those V's and actually is a lizard person, because those eyes certainly do not look human. Although, its all debatable. On Lost the one actress being interviewed on TMZ said it was all a dream, but that had to be a joke, as we know it ends that they did stuff to alter the time space continuum so the island was like a dream, only because everything on the island did happen so time could be altered. It may turn out the HL series ends on a similar note that after HL3, or who knows maybe HL4 for that matter, he ends up back in HL1 in the very beginning and the day proceeds as normal and the resonance cascade never happens but aliens like the Vorts would never like us but never come to earth because time is altered in the end.

The HL series are a dream, just like everything else in the world. I don't exist, Valve doesn't exist, Facepunch doesn't exist. We are all fragments of your imagination, yes YOUR. We are mearly your dream.

Gordon dreams the whole story only to wake up in the Level 3 Dormitories and find that he's late for work. The time is 8:47am.

The best part of that would be if he went to get on the tram and he was denied access because he was late, so he just went back to bed and dreamed up Portal.

The game ends at EP3 after a huge explosion, when you wake up on the tram inside Black Mesa.

[/QUOTE] Yes, and yes. In fact, I usually see myself in dreams, sort of like a movie. However, I somehow never realize it's a dream. LOLWUT

"Rise and shine Mr Freeman, not that i wish to imply that you have been sleeping.." O_o edit: makes me want to replay every single Half Life again.

[QUOTE=Populus89;21351697]Oh hey. -snip- You can't read in dreams. [/QUOTE] Actually you can, the texts just keep changing WHILE you do it. A good way to check if you are in a dream or not is to read a digital watch, look away read it again. In a dream it will not advance a few seconds forward but jump to a random time. [editline]11:33AM[/editline] [QUOTE=lukepker;21363232]"Rise and shine Mr Freeman, not that i wish to imply that you have been sleeping.." [/QUOTE] I think he was in a "dream state" between hl and hl2 (as strongly implied by the game), and not that he was sleeping ALL ALONG. Also the texture thing talks about "simulation", so may be some parts are "simulations" run by g-man or whoever he works with/for.
