Subject: Bungie are unoriginal and lazy

It makes me sick to be honest.

Throughout the whole game, all the Rookie ever does is quote Gordon Freeman from the Half Life series.

Whether it be him saying "...", "...", or hell, even "...", everything he says I've heard before from the mouth of Doctor Freeman.

Bungie's writers need to be fired, or at the least sent back to College for a little while.

I'm surprised that Valve haven't sued you for copyright Bungie.

Shane: Hey Flake can you sign this for me?
*Flake leans against table to sign shirt*
Random: Hey Christoph can you sign this for me?

He's just a silent guy you ever thought of that? Instead of running your little mouth?

Bungie tried to make you think yourself as the rookie, same with the Master Chief. That's the reason behind both of them not saying much, if anything.

As for Bungie's writers being fired, why don't you put in an application here and do a better job?

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

I think this is a sarcastic thread. Or at least meant to be taken with a pinch of salt, so chill out guys.

Now that you point it out it does seem too ridiculous to be serious.

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.
Go back to being a failure kid.

Fabled Legendary status usually means he's not a complete idiot.

Obvious Joke thread. Heard it before.

Still a little bit funny though.

Non Nobis Nascimur - We are not born for ourselves.

Wolverfrog is right. The Rookie should hum/sing while he is fighting for his life. Maybe even make a few sarcastic remarks to nobody.

I am Godlike!

Have you ever thought, maybe Rookie LIKES Gordan Freeman?

Then what about master chief? He only said a couple of words here and there. Bungie probably just wanted us to be more comftorable with the rookie.

Well if that's the case, didn't Valve copy from Pac-man he never talks just makes noise interacting with the surroundings. Or how about the Pong ball it doesn't talk.

Hi

Gordon Freeman IS the Rookie!

  • 02.04.2010 10:08 AM PDT

"You can't touch music, but music can touch you."

It's Bungie's motif. Their protagonist is always silent. The Rookie really doeesn't have anyone to talk to either, other than the engineer.

  • 02.04.2010 10:14 AM PDT

"Everyone is capable of doing extraordinary things, each in his own way. Some are perfectly happy doing simple things in good spirits, others, however, concentrate on details. We are all different, and it really doesn't matter if you focus on space travel or work in the fields. What is important is to do what you really want."

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

When the Rookie gets shot he says "OW!!!" sometimes.

The protagonist isn't completely silent. =)

5/10.

docked off a point for title grammar fail.


Reported for off-topic post that does NOT pertain to the OP whatsoever. "Suck it, Heretic!"

On topic: You need to be fired!!! Excuse me but Gordon Freeman isn't the ONLY silent protagonist in the history of video games.

Here's a few examples of silent protagonists:

1. CoD 4 - Soap Soap Soap Soap Soap on a Rope. teehee
2. CoD MW2 - Sgt. "Roach", Pvt. Ramirez.
3. CoD WaW - Pvt. Miller, Pvt. Petrenko, Sgt. Locke
4. Fable - The main playable character.
5. Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain (PS2) - Your customizable playable agent.
6. Portal - That chick from Portal.
7. Pac Man - Pac Man....
8. umm...I can't think of anyone else

If any community members think of any silent protagonists then feel free to chime in. =)

"Life to you stepson and everlasting glory. " Thifes World.

The Rookie Doesnt Talk Due to the Fact A: You Need to Hear those Blasted Jackel's Brute's ect From Comeing up on you So Noise travels that means you might die if not Careful. B:Gorden Freemen Talks way More than the Rookie does During the intire game. C:The Rookie all ready works at Bungie.(wish i Had that Job.) My Eyeballs Hurt. Note:Strong Silent Types Oblivion Main Char, Fallout Main Char And Isaac Clarke From Dead Space. The Last one thare is a Doozie. He Doesnt Speak At all During The Entire Game. Humm Note to self Dont get thrown into Bungie Dungen.
