Don't be sad because it's over, be happy because it happened. -Dr Seuss Press λ to pay respects. Half-Life: Alyx has come out, there is still hope for HL3.

I love how it starts so melancholy then slowly becomes more triumphant, then slows to sadness. Like I think Gordon himself felt, finding most of your friends are dead and the world is falling to pieces with survival the only thing on you mind. Soon you make new friends, they fight along side you, die along side you. Until you make it out. You and your friends finally made it but it isn't over. You've got lives to rebuild, families to connect, and ends to tie. You made it, but at what cost? How many sacrificed themselves for you to go on? This is the cost of you freedom, this is the cost of life.
True, I always think about the fact that he probably had a family, maybe not a wife and kids but maybe some parents, brothers and sisters, best friends who were waiting to hear how was Gordon's first day, they all probably died or survived, we will never know, what would be another awesome thing to see in HL3, or episode 3, to find Gordon's family, or just one family member, someone that was special in Gordon's life, something similar to when Captain America woke up and see the love of her life an old woman...

I grew up on games like Left 4 Dead, Half-Life, Gmod, TF2, I've replayed the entire half-life series more than 4 times. This song legit makes me wanna cry
I have a religious day every year, where I must finish the HL franchise. Every year...once a year. I escape life for that day and immerse myself in Gordon's world...surreal
This ost is how most of the tf2 Community felt only a few days ago during the darkest hours of the ddos lag bots, but father gaben has saved us all in this dark hour of quarantine.
one of the bad reviews left on hunt down the freeman -a REALLY bad fan made half life game that was selling for 25$- said "as dissapointing as half life: the pre sequel" and now we get a pre sequel
Kiyoko504 Valve is unable to make a bad game. Also nobody at valve really has a idea when the next game of anything comes out because everyone at valve does what he wants to, so one makes portal 3 and the next day he's like "I'm making a CS2 map"
when i hear this music, i can only think how depressed Gordon (and Eli,Barney,Kleiner and everyone else) really is, because he is the one who pushed the car into the Anti-Mass Spectrometer and created the resonance cascade, after that he saw inumerous people beeing murdered in front of him by creatures from xen or by the army, he was jailed by gman for 20 years after he almost died many times saving the world from xen and when he comes back he's seen the whole world in a combine dictatorship and once again needs to save everyone who he cares about, but as a consequence of it gman took Alyx from Gordon and he needs to save someone who he cares about once more... Half-Life franchise will be my favorite one for ever and thats why i love it so much (sorry for my bad english,i'm from Brazil)
Man I never realized how tragic Gordon’s story is. No wonder he’s such a badass, he’s been through hell and back. Hopefully one day he’ll get a happy ending.
It's not really all Gordon'a fault. Dr. Breen was the black mesa's director and he ordered the anti thingy I forget the name to be pumped up a little bit. This caused the resonance cascade to happen.

When I listen to this and watch Half-Life 1 and 2 gameplay, I want to cry. I had so much awesome moments with this game, such beautiful feelings with this, it just can't be explained with words. When I look at what people make, remakes of these games, mods, community servers, I feel very proud of everyone for still keeping this series updated. We have only one task, do not forget this beautiful game. It was our childhood, our first moments with FPS games, beginnings of games such as Counter-Strike, Left 4 Dead, Portal. We should tell our grandkids this heartwarming story of our lives, when we ventured with Gordon through Black Mesa and City 17. Thank you Valve...
E3. PC conference. Gabe Newell emerges to thunderous applause. "We have a little something for all of you loyal fans. Hopefully, it'll be... worth the wait." The crowd promptly hushes. The lights dim. On screen, we see a void, surrounded by stars whizzing past. "Your services..." The crowd gasps. This voice, they know. "... have been in high demand, Mister Freeman." The crowd roars. The hall turns into a mosh pit. *HUNT DOWN THE FREEMAN 2*
I've always called this the theme of Gordon Freeman: It's this somber, quiet melody, but with a tinge of hope in it that tries to break throught the sorrow. Gordon hasn't known peace since the Residence Cascade at Black Mesa. He's been fighting off aliens invades before and after he was put into stasus, watching his species struggling for survival against their new rutheless rulers, and having his life be in the hands of a mysterious man in a suit who's goals are unknown. This theme represents all that emotions and tests that the Freeman has faced, and one day he can finally rest after his long journey, taking out the Combine and restoring Earth to it's former glory.
Gordon Freeman grew to be a legend amongst the human populus that was left after the combine invasion and was considered to be the one free man on earth.
i was just 5 years old when I started playing half-life 2, I'm 17 years old now. listening to this song brings me back to the good old days when life ain't full of crap Thank you Gordon for giving me a wonderful childhood to look back
This song evokes so many feelings in me, even though I detached myself from Half Life a long time ago. It feels like the introduction of a story, and at the same time a prelude to its unstoppable ending. A surprising victory with a crushing defeat following in the sideline. The possibility of an ocurrence and it's sad impossibility. It reminded me a bit of Taylor Hebert's Necesity with its indecisive tone that expresses the person's journey, not going anywhere in particular but always leaving a mystery, a remnant of a clue for us to go. In my opinion, this song would be perfect for the final chapter of the trilogy when it finally comes out: at the moment of truth, when Gordon finally ends his journey and defeats the Combine forces on Earth, or gives Humanity a chance of salvation with his tragic (but expectable) death, it starts playing in the background and then in every shot of the credits, echoing like a chorus of angels, not only representing the end of a character and its universe, but also the conclusion of a decades-long waiting.
What was taken from us, and all that we fight for. Continuing through seeming futility and desperation. If we lose the fight or emerge victorious, what matters in the end is that we fought.
Small note: from what I've found this song was actually a really good fan remix of Triage At Dawn, and wasn't made by Bailey (Ok, technically part of it was, but you know what I mean). From what I found this song was made by "DJ Dain", but is often credited to Bailey or even Viktor Antonov (who is not a composer). I know this may make the song feel a little different, maybe less emotional, but personally I think it makes it even more powerful, because rather than a sad song about what could have been, from developers who abandoned the project, I like to think of it as the fan's hope for what might someday happen. So often we see a series that goes on for too long, and bloats their story with hundreds of characters, and Half Life is a refreshing break from that, and I think we all hope to return to that story someday.
I have heard this song in this game years ago...I have finaly found out it's name :) Regardless, this is by far, the best video game ever made. Good job Valve, GabeN, and the composer of Half Life 2 ( and it's sequels) soundtrack.
And here we are. I spoke of my return to this shore. It has been a circuitous path to lands I once knew, and surprising to see how much the terrain has changed.

after all these years i finally got the half life games and completed them and I was expecting a lot since I’ve heard a lot of good things about half life and it was such a amazing game the ending surprised me in so many different way and after beating the game I realized people have been on a cliffhanger for over 12 years (well im off to 100% the games)
я чуть не заплакал, не из-за того что я олд или что-то в этом роде, я чуть не заплакал из-за того, что я вспомнил, что происходило во 2-ой части HL. Миллиарды лет эволюции и прогресса были сломлены всего за каких-то 7 часов иннопланетной расой пришельцов. Из-за этого не будут рождаться дети, изобретаться новые вещи и т.д. И это все очень грустно!
We'll be back. One day. One day. We'll be back. Half-Life, TF2, Portal, Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike. One day, Valve will return and bring greatness to the gaming industry once again.
This is why Valve is my favorite game developer. Proper soundtracks, an amazing sound system ingame, proper gameplay that is fun and not repetitive, interesting characters, etc...
@@shokkerr just look what they did with half life or tf2, only the community is supporting their games, they are no longer doing it. they just care about Dota...
Well... Just take a crowbar and beat this guy's face! Half-Life is NOT a Garry's Mode map. This is a masterpiece. This is a thing, that rolled game industry at the past. And when Half-Life Alyx will be released, this will roll it again!
I was thinking, the one of the best ways the franchise could over is: 1.- Gordon and Alyx looking for the borealis (survival, exploration, chance to melt ice to find resources and routes, advements on hot/cold mechanics like break stuff, floating things and simulated water could feel also nice for puzzles) 2.- Dimensional stuff when finding The borealis and moving inside (gameplay similar to teleporting but to different realities/time) till you get out with the aperture technology 3.- Rebels fighting agains combine troops while the Portals are disconected, Gordon reaches another City and helps the local resistance to move ahead till they reach the Core and the portal. 4.- Gordon Uses the Combine portal to do a cascade travel from Xen to the Combine Homeworld (activating satellites and setting a beacon) 5.- Combine homeworld gameplay. 6.- Ending with gordon freeman and some kind of combine mastermind or boss... Freeman activates stuff on the end... he teleports the Combine Homeworld into Xen and both colapse together. 7.-Gordon freeman awakes suddenly, he is on Black mesa monorail, he is tired because everything needs to be ready for todays test in the resonance chamber (Gordon never realized that on point 4, was moved back to time, so he creates a new alternative reality where combine gets destroyed hundreds of years before the test... The worlds will colide again but now Combine will be out of the ecuation...) [GMAN can be seen in the background, can be seen how he draws a blurry Tick on a paper while he keeps talking with a guy] A: How can you be so cold-blooded? anything could happen on today's test! I cant wait to put my hands on the data we will get. GMAN: If I have learned something over the years... is that unforeseen consequences doesnt exist
in a perfect universe Gordon and Alyx would get on the Borealis which would travel through time into the Portal 2 timeline where Alyx and Gordon meet Chell
This music like a comeback into warm, safety childhood, where is everything is extremely funny and interesting, Im so happy about fact, that I catch this game in my life. God bless Half-Life.

After 10 long years we finally learn what happens, yet we never get to see it happen, we never got to be there with Gordon. Maybe one day we can live through his eyes again and save what remains of humanity. If that day ever happens I'll be glad to be on the front lines knowing others are doing the same.

when i hear this music, i can only think how depressed Gordon (and Eli,Barney,Kleiner and everyone else) really is, because he is the one who pushed the car into the Anti-Mass Spectrometer and created the resonance cascade, after that he saw inumerous people beeing murdered in front of him by creatures from xen or by the army, he was jailed by gman for 20 years after he almost died many times saving the world from xen and when he comes back he's seen the whole world in a combine dictatorship and once again needs to save everyone who he cares about, but as a consequence of it gman took Alyx from Gordon and he needs to save someone who he cares about once more...
Half-Life franchise will be my favorite one for ever and thats why i love it so much
(sorry for my bad english,i'm from Brazil)
i agree with you
brasileiro com bom gosto que nem vc e raro sabia
Man I never realized how tragic Gordon’s story is. No wonder he’s such a badass, he’s been through hell and back. Hopefully one day he’ll get a happy ending.
It's not really all Gordon'a fault. Dr. Breen was the black mesa's director and he ordered the anti thingy I forget the name to be pumped up a little bit. This caused the resonance cascade to happen.
@@xpiredration1387 actually, gordon didn't have any fault, but if I was him I would be very sad being the one who pushed the cart

When I listen to this and watch Half-Life 1 and 2 gameplay, I want to cry. I had so much awesome moments with this game, such beautiful feelings with this, it just can't be explained with words. When I look at what people make, remakes of these games, mods, community servers, I feel very proud of everyone for still keeping this series updated. We have only one task, do not forget this beautiful game. It was our childhood, our first moments with FPS games, beginnings of games such as Counter-Strike, Left 4 Dead, Portal. We should tell our grandkids this heartwarming story of our lives, when we ventured with Gordon through Black Mesa and City 17. Thank you Valve...

Приветствую людей всей планеты, кто переслушивает этот шедевр и вспоминает похождения Фримена
Saludos amigo ruso, por supuesto que escuchamos y aún recordamos las aventuras de Freeman, aún creemos en el hombre libre.
I've always called this the theme of Gordon Freeman: It's this somber, quiet melody, but with a tinge of hope in it that tries to break throught the sorrow. Gordon hasn't known peace since the Residence Cascade at Black Mesa. He's been fighting off aliens invades before and after he was put into stasus, watching his species struggling for survival against their new rutheless rulers, and having his life be in the hands of a mysterious man in a suit who's goals are unknown. This theme represents all that emotions and tests that the Freeman has faced, and one day he can finally rest after his long journey, taking out the Combine and restoring Earth to it's former glory.
imagine creating a masterpiece of a song and NOT making it play when someone gets game ended.
this meme was made by Triage at dawn gang*
It's Not A Meme
This brings so many childhood memories...
Now I wanna replay all the Half-Life games, for the 13th time.
Gordon Freeman grew to be a legend amongst the human populus that was left after the combine invasion and was considered to be the one free man on earth.
i didn't even played the game but this song gives me chills.
never truly realized how epic this song was in half life 2, thank you
i was just 5 years old when I started playing half-life 2, I'm 17 years old now.
listening to this song brings me back to the good old days when life ain't full of crap
Thank you Gordon for giving me a wonderful childhood to look back

This song evokes so many feelings in me, even though I detached myself from Half Life a long time ago.
It feels like the introduction of a story, and at the same time a prelude to its unstoppable ending. A surprising victory with a crushing defeat following in the sideline. The possibility of an ocurrence and it's sad impossibility. It reminded me a bit of Taylor Hebert's Necesity with its indecisive tone that expresses the person's journey, not going anywhere in particular but always leaving a mystery, a remnant of a clue for us to go.
In my opinion, this song would be perfect for the final chapter of the trilogy when it finally comes out: at the moment of truth, when Gordon finally ends his journey and defeats the Combine forces on Earth, or gives Humanity a chance of salvation with his tragic (but expectable) death, it starts playing in the background and then in every shot of the credits, echoing like a chorus of angels, not only representing the end of a character and its universe, but also the conclusion of a decades-long waiting.
What was taken from us, and all that we fight for. Continuing through seeming futility and desperation. If we lose the fight or emerge victorious, what matters in the end is that we fought.
@@blockstacker5614 like Laindlaw's Third Poem. Werther it happens or not, we have to keep going.
By far, the BEST game and series I have EVER played in my current life years.
Small note: from what I've found this song was actually a really good fan remix of Triage At Dawn, and wasn't made by Bailey (Ok, technically part of it was, but you know what I mean). From what I found this song was made by "DJ Dain", but is often credited to Bailey or even Viktor Antonov (who is not a composer). I know this may make the song feel a little different, maybe less emotional, but personally I think it makes it even more powerful, because rather than a sad song about what could have been, from developers who abandoned the project, I like to think of it as the fan's hope for what might someday happen. So often we see a series that goes on for too long, and bloats their story with hundreds of characters, and Half Life is a refreshing break from that, and I think we all hope to return to that story someday.
Idk why but this song reminds me of the saying “once you do this, theres no going back” like something changing ur life. Gives me the chillsss
I have heard this song in this game years ago...I have finaly found out it's name :)
Regardless, this is by far, the best video game ever made.
Good job Valve, GabeN, and the composer of Half Life 2 ( and it's sequels) soundtrack.

Who said this?
after all these years i finally got the half life games and completed them and I was expecting a lot since I’ve heard a lot of good things about half life and it was such a amazing game the ending surprised me in so many different way and after beating the game I realized people have been on a cliffhanger for over 12 years (well im off to 100% the games)
я чуть не заплакал, не из-за того что я олд или что-то в этом роде, я чуть не заплакал из-за того, что я вспомнил, что происходило во 2-ой части HL. Миллиарды лет эволюции и прогресса были сломлены всего за каких-то 7 часов иннопланетной расой пришельцов. Из-за этого не будут рождаться дети, изобретаться новые вещи и т.д. И это все очень грустно!
это печально

We'll be back. One day. One day. We'll be back. Half-Life, TF2, Portal, Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike. One day, Valve will return and bring greatness to the gaming industry once again.

Imagine that you just late to work but you ended with fighting for your race..

when your playing half life 2 and someone says "is that Garrys mod with the fnaf stuff? my son loves that game!"
The pain you must feel...
*installs half life engine in me and collects a crowbar*
Time for you to lose your face at lighting speeds.
Well... Just take a crowbar and beat this guy's face! Half-Life is NOT a Garry's Mode map. This is a masterpiece. This is a thing, that rolled game industry at the past. And when Half-Life Alyx will be released, this will roll it again!
I'm going to hang myself now.
(I gotta say I'm joking cause people in the internet would start saying I want attention)
Well that was idiotic, time to hang myself! Watch and lear- *dies*
I was thinking, the one of the best ways the franchise could over is:
1.- Gordon and Alyx looking for the borealis (survival, exploration, chance to melt ice to find resources and routes, advements on hot/cold mechanics like break stuff, floating things and simulated water could feel also nice for puzzles)
2.- Dimensional stuff when finding The borealis and moving inside (gameplay similar to teleporting but to different realities/time) till you get out with the aperture technology
3.- Rebels fighting agains combine troops while the Portals are disconected, Gordon reaches another City and helps the local resistance to move ahead till they reach the Core and the portal.
4.- Gordon Uses the Combine portal to do a cascade travel from Xen to the Combine Homeworld (activating satellites and setting a beacon)
5.- Combine homeworld gameplay.
6.- Ending with gordon freeman and some kind of combine mastermind or boss... Freeman activates stuff on the end... he teleports the Combine Homeworld into Xen and both colapse together.
7.-Gordon freeman awakes suddenly, he is on Black mesa monorail, he is tired because everything needs to be ready for todays test in the resonance chamber (Gordon never realized that on point 4, was moved back to time, so he creates a new alternative reality where combine gets destroyed hundreds of years before the test... The worlds will colide again but now Combine will be out of the ecuation...)
[GMAN can be seen in the background, can be seen how he draws a blurry Tick on a paper while he keeps talking with a guy]
A: How can you be so cold-blooded? anything could happen on today's test! I cant wait to put my hands on the data we will get.
GMAN: If I have learned something over the years... is that unforeseen consequences doesnt exist
Welp not anymore. The story changed as Eli is alive, and Alyx were taken by GMan.
