Jinkies, We've been hoodwinked! HL3 is a lie.

Sounds like a cool idea, crawling around as part of the inital incursion taking over scientists and guards - Valve make it happen!I'd like a Half-Life 0. Playing as a headcrab or something. HL: Lamarr.
@Fubsy sounds like the beginning of a Xenomorph AVP playthrough.Sounds like a cool idea, crawling around as part of the inital incursion taking over scientists and guards - Valve make it happen!
Because they literally have more money than they know what to do with, and spend their time doing whatever experimental stuff they feel like, that week.Why wouldn't they make a Half Life 3. It makes so much financial sense.
Also what every happened to Half Life 2 episode 3?
They started making DLC for Half Life 2 and released episode 1 and 2 but 3 is still MIA.
They do what they want and make buckets of cash, but it can only work out this way because they're still privately owned. I wouldn't wish for another game from them as long as they stay that way.Because they literally have more money than they know what to do with, and spend their time doing whatever experimental stuff they feel like, that week.
And last time I checked, they have a really weird organisational structure, where nobody tells anyone else what to do. Projects "coalesce" and fall apart, like leaves in a storm...
e: meh, beaten. Glad I'm not remembering wrong, tho
They don't owe us anything. The flip side of that coin is that I lost interest in Valve games a long time ago. I don't even think about any of their games, and haven't for a long, long time.They do what they want and make buckets of cash, but it can only work out this way because they're still privately owned.

I agree to an extent. Half life was decent, but not the best game ever. It was one of the first proper 3d shooters I played on PC though and even had buckets of fun in death match on ps2, so it has a special place for me.They don't owe us anything.

Steam is great, but I also use Epic, Gog, and others.
I'll probably be eaten alive, but Half Life was just a good game. It wasn't a life-changing experience, or anything. If we don't get HL3 I can't say it bothers me. It's become a meme, like Duke Nukem. And they'll defo want to avoid the fate of DNF.
The only thing I would say there is, they owe everyone a statement that a sequel to Episode 2 isn't being made. They said it was coming out, and despite abandoning it about 15 years ago, they never announced this decision. Even when asked directly about it they would deflect the question, which has lead to this constant speculation.They don't owe us anything.
Heh. Also had a 9600 (XT) and iirc HL2 came with it. It was probably the first game in many new Steam accountsI think HL3 if it ever came out would be a game I'd just buy without question. HL2 was the first proper game I bought and the most enjoyable game (aside from UT2004), I remember I bought it in Scarborough GAME on my holiday at Blue Dolphin Haven, I had a Radeon 9600 (Non Pro) and it ran fantastic! The graphics are still quite nice to this day! In fact, that purchase of HL2, the installation of it, was the birth of my STEAM account.
no no the cake is a lieJinkies, We've been hoodwinked! HL3 is a lie.
they really DONT ow us anything, and their argument may well be the technology isnt thee yet for what they want to achieve blah blah blah.The only thing I would say there is, they owe everyone a statement that a sequel to Episode 2 isn't being made.

They owe us a statement, which is what I said, not necessarily a game. If you say you're going to do something, you either do it, or say you're no longer going to do it.they really DONT ow us anything, and their argument may well be the technology isnt thee yet for what they want to achieve blah blah blah.
They don't have to say anything. What does it matter anyway? It either gets made or it doesn't and life goes on either way. No big deal.They owe us a statement, which is what I said, not necessarily a game. If you say you're going to do something, you either do it, or say you're no longer going to do it.
If Valve's argument is 'the technology isn't there', then that's fine, say it and move on, but when they just dodge the question, it only leads people on.
There was more to the story to be told, they said it was going to be released, gave release dates and then just ghosted everyone after that. One single statement by them could have resolved this.
If person Y tells a bunch of people they are going to do X, then realises they aren't going to be able to do it, I would expect person Y to inform people of this, especially when people keep asking about it. It's called common curtsey.They don't have to say anything.
You could say that about almost everything. Why even play HL? Life goes on either way. No big deal.What does it matter anyway? It either gets made or it doesn't and life goes on either way. No big deal.
