Every leader of a nuclear power takes the fate of humanity into their hands.<br />And it's not like Freeman's doing it alone, he has a small army behind him, plus a bunch of aliens, and also whatever the G-man is.<br />He's not gambling on his ability alone, but on himself, and everyone on his side.Jeffinatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872045157673433766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21865802.post-25873990821826616992010-03-28T15:20:36.544-05:002010-03-28T15:20:36.544-05:00Extinction is inevitable.

Breen prevented the horrible deaths of every human being. I'm not going to claim that their quality of life is GOOD, but it's better than a violent death.<br /><br />I'm ignoring Breen's implication that they'll be engineering a solution to aging, since it could be dismissed as propaganda.<br /><br />Freeman is only winning through the most implausible means, evidenced by the number of times that he dies when you play the game. He is risking humanity's fate on his own ability, which, DUE TO GAME MECHANICS ONLY, is infallible. In any calculation of ethics, this is completely unreasonable.Carsonisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847778146078670555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21865802.post-19122480865660193372010-03-28T14:29:50.721-05:002010-03-28T14:29:50.721-05:00BS, Breen was just taking the slower path to extin...BS, Breen was just taking the slower path to extinction. By preventing humanity from breeding, everyone's dead in 50 years anyways. At least by fighting, we can give a big fuck you to the aliens. Plus, Freeman is winning. And that can forgive a lot. As of the end of episode II, humanity is looking a lot better off than they were at the start of HL2. They can breed, there's a satellite up there that does something sciency, and something might eventually happen in episode III. Breen's time has passed.Jeffinatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872045157673433766noreply@blogger.com
