The only reason people care about this shit anymore is because of the cultural meme it's become. HL2 was a farcry from HL, and I don't imagine many improvements will be made. Time doesn't always equal quality, maybe the devs have just been dicking around. Wouldn't be the first time.

It can just keep looking forward more.

It will be a let down if you've overhyped it for yourself or you let the hype of others get to you. Im pretty sure im going to enjoy it, since I dont expect it to be anything else than a Half Life game.

I actually jerked when I saw this. Fuck OP for making me jerk for no reason.
Holy shit, I totally didn't see it coming in the trailer when Gordon went through the portal and crossed into the Team Fortress 2 universe! It was so cool when Gordon caught Soldier's rocket with his Gravity Gun and shot it back at him! Then at the very end you see what looks like "Aperture Science" on a building implying that Gordon is going to cross into the Portal universe too!
Half Life 3 is going to be really wacky!

Entire /v/ would become /caps lock orgasm/. Hell, I'd fucking spam the shit out of this place myself.

Yeah, I think it would be fair to say that I would be moderately interested in HL3 or anything valve.
inb4 valve is jew
look at sony
look at MS
look at EA
look at biofags, irrational games, bethesda

Valve only care about me having a good time, or at least they've fooled me into believing so.

Fucking this. Valve does cares about money, but they don't go out of their way to screw everyone up. Compared to every other big company, it's lesser evil.
>it's a reboot
>>257875315
Just a result of most /v/ posters being jaded and cynical because they've been burned one too many times in the past. You have to be that way to protect yourself from getting hyped and then having your heart broken when the game you were hyped for is an utter piece of shit.
Spore is the game that did it for me. That was the day I became a major cynic about vidya and declared a fatwa against EA.
>>257874871
instead of being another shitty (insert genre here)
I guess developers should just make the games you want to play.
Right?
>>257875158
>>257875381
Because they make all their money scamming you with Steam.
Bar Half-Life 1 & Portal 1 their games are shit anyway.

Not getting hyped and calling something not even revealed shit are two completely different things
>>257875158
The only thing that I have is that they don't give refunds, but I think that isn't so bad because I research the games that I am about to buy so I can avoid bad games.
>>257875761
They give u a refund at least once if u ask the support politely anon
I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS MOMENT
>>257875876
Yep, and I used mine, that is why I don't rush in head first to buy a game from Steam. I learned my lesson.

Their approach to HL2 was groundbreaking and innovative. This is of course completely lost on today's cutting edge faglord gamers.
The fact that they make non-jewlord games is largely due to the fact that they are in the comfortable position of being the overlords of PC digital distribution. Which they became due to not being total jews. Almost like they have grander intentions than simply making money, and in not being total jews they've been even more successful.
They are the groundbreakers and EA are just the faggots that copypaste their inventions.
They simply don't have to jew out DLCs because they're clever guys that try to jew in a non-jew way.
>their games are shit except some of their games aren't shit.
>>257875761
Maybe if more people felt more strongly about this they would do something about it.
I hold myself responsible for buying shit games because like you, I rarely buy bad games and if I do it is always because I had no fucking clue what I was doing.
>>257872178

>le /v/ hates le gayms, amirite?

Man, I hardly care anymore. They should've at least announced it after Portal 2 was released. That would have been long enough. What the fuck have they been doing?
As for the game, I hope it's not a straight-up copy of HL2 and episodes. Those games are good, but sweet Jesus, they haven't aged very well.
>>257876618
You realise Steam wasn't the first to do digital distribution?
>HL2 was groundbreaking and innovative
Fantastic, but this was a decade ago.
Where are they now?
>they simply don't have to jew out DLC
>pay for mods scheme
>early access
>>257876747
Yawn. If anything you're trying to fitting by insinuating people can't have contrasting opinions.
>>257876150
Early Access looked good on paper when it started, but it should get canned considering how many incomplete games it created.
>>257876618
The innovations that HL2 is lost on these edge lords because many fps games use the mechanics HL2 used.
Also, how long can a computer with origin be disconnected from the internet? I had some steam games that I installed on a computer that was then disconnected from the internet for a year and they still ran fine, Steam didn't lock me out from those games.
>>257877156
Who was first is completely irrelevant. Who did it best is relevant.
>Pay modders for creating content for their games
Yeah, they're such jews, I can't believe they've made a framework for their mods that actually validates the best of mod community, what a bunch of jews.
>early access
What about it? Should developers not have the choice to sell and develop their games however they want?
You have the choice to buy whatever you want, you don't have to take part in early access, just like developers don't have to take part in it. Why ruin that for people that want to help shape a game, or help fix a game that they're enthusiastic about.
I bought into Nuclear Throne's early access, I actually find it enjoyable to play the game as it evolves, each update brings me back to it and has me experimenting with the latest patch changes and additions.
Problem?
Now I understand why Gaben let himself go... He noticed that the only way to stay alive in today's cutthroat industry is to make the games that make the most money instead of your artists vision. The dream is dead, the only thing left is the cold hard cash.
Don't be surprised that one day Gaben commits sudoku
>>257877195
The way I see early access; you should only buy into it if you think you can get some moderate enjoyment out of the product at the state it is in.
Who is to say when a game is "complete" anyways? Shit, you could have probably labeled Skyrim at launch as "early access" yet nobody seems to mind that anymore but everyone is raving on about early access like it's a horrible thing.
>PC/PS4/XboxOne/Android
>implying the announcement isn't Half-Life 1 for mobile devices
>>257877195
Steam's DRM isn't even hard to circumvent, either.
Pirated releases throw in some steam-client emulating dlls and that's it. Cracked completely.
>>257874436
Oh please.
Relax guys, it's just HL3 early access.
If you pay more, you get to see more of the game
If HL3 had original and innovative features(whatever it is they come up with), a 20+ hour campaign and none of the CoD audience pandering casualized bullshit, tell me, will it still have lived up to the 7+ year hype since episode 2? A fucking decade if you wanna count HL2.
>>257878931
>it's been 7 years
also, yes, it will.
>>257877905
You admonished EA for not being original.
Valve won't allow free distribution of mods but will take a cut to have it on their platform.
Essentially charging others to make DLC for them and charging you to buy it.
>should developers not have the choice
Naturally they should but the early access business model is the most Jewish conception.
>>257871830
this is the most depressing thread I've ever been in
>>257873680
You know that valve takes a little slice of every game sold right? About 10-25%. Plus you got tf2, cs go and dota constantly streaming more dosh in

>Valve has been facing some rough financial times

Heck, I bet that they can fund entire Steambox development by just releasing several Dota cosmetics from Workshop into the game.
It's just an overglorified Source2 tech demo at the end of the day, people. As much as you want to congratulate Gabe for rolling onto stage it really isn't worth it, go home everyone.
>>257878931
If HL3 is anything other than 11/10 GOTYAY our God is a loving and benevolent God, it will be seen as a failure. It's been hyped for too long, anything other than the best game ever will be considered 3/10 it's shit.

>>257881548
It would make sense as a conclusion to the franchise though. Some messed up paradoxical time-travel, portal-gateways (please gaben-god keep portal-gun shit away from HL games) and Vortigaunt abilities that will help Gordon prevent the cascade or change the laws of physics in a subtle way to prevent it and ultimately becoming the gman...
I mean it's the Half Life universe, they don't need to keep it even remotely realistic.
