Square-Enix stole character designs from Half-Life

[Mental_Gear]

I've been playing the orange box a lot recently, and now I'm focusing on Half-Life 2, and just noticed.

Dr. Cidolfus Demen Bunansa, Final Fantasy XII, 2006 - 2007.



Gordon Freeman, PhD, Half-Life, 1998 for PC, 2001 for PS2.



Not that different, are they?

Also, how the HELL did Freeman get voted Gamestop's No.1 hero of all time? He doesn't even speak. He has no personality. He's just another FPS hero. You can think of him whatever the hell you want, but he just doesn't have any character in him to speak of.

And don't give me the bullshit 'crowbar excuse'.

Or younger Ho Chi Minh!



VIETNAM GOT RIPPED OFF.

When's the last time you saw a physicist kicking someones ass. Ten bucks says never. That is why is his the No.1 hero. HE WAS A FUCKING NERD.

[Mental_Gear]

He's hardly a physicist. His qualifications may say so, but most of the work he DID in Black Mesa was just manual work.

[Samuraiblackbelt]

he's still a nerd

[DarthPaul]

He graduated from MIT with a Ph.D. degree in Theoretical Physics. His doctoral thesis on the teleportation of matter through extremely dense elements was titled Observation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Entanglement on Supraquantum Structures by Induction Through Nonlinear Transuranic Crystal of Extremely Long Wavelength (ELW) Pulse from Mode-Locked Source Array.
