How's it feel to have another E3 with no Half Life 3 announcement /v/?
>>340851251
It's become a meme to care about Half Life 3
>>340851251
>Le half life 3 Reddit maymay xD
Fuck off
>>340851251
The same feeling I had at the last couple E3s. Indifference.
Good, because I'm not a retarded valvedrone holding out hope for a game from a vastly overrated series that will never come out and never live up to the hype imposed on it by said retarded valvedrones.
>>340851251
People still think that will happen someday?
Pretending to care is only a meme. People gave up hope and lost all interest years ago.
>>340851251
literally no one cares anymore
especially when everyone soon finally realised they became a meme publishing studio. they're literally a dead studio, but can stay open because of steam. I guarentee 70% of current gaming population don't know who valve is.
>yfw it gets annouced
>>340851436
Redditposting is bannable offense now. It's even more malicious than actual shitposting.
>>340851251
I don't even care anymore. I was hyped for HL2 and even bought a new computer for it (before it was first delayed). I tried to convince myself it was as good or better than HL1, but it wasn't.
HL1, its mods, and community were far better than HL2's. The games are good but I stopped caring about HL3 a long time ago.
>>340851251
Half Life 2 was shit, why would I care about 3?
Half Life 3 won't be made. The expectations would be that of a literally perfect game, an expectation it can never realistically meet.
So it will atleast have to be such a long time, that its almost completed forgotten before it happens.
>>340851585
delete this
Valve don't make games anymore.
>>340851526
It was a solid 18-24 months after HL2's release that you could criticize the game without getting gang banged by fanboys.
>>340851618
nice meme
all it needs is good graphics and a continuation of the story. everything else remains the same.

>>340851703
what the fuck is valve
Hand over the phone numbers, /v/.
>>340851725
Half-Life in is reboot territory at this point.
Valve don't need to make games, let alone reboot IPs, to generate dosh.
>>340851251
Pretty good.
>>340851643
It was shit.
>HL3 is announced
>Gordon is replaced with black woman (not alyx)
>He now has a team of transgender scientists
the looks you must get wearing this to E3
>>340851852
>go to e3
>wear this t shirt
>pretend to be valve employee
>"win an exclusive look at hl3 for $1 which will be donated to charity"
>????
>le profit
desu i would rather have another Portal than HL3
even L3D
>pretending to not care about HL3
>thinking Valve isnt working on HL3
good, you are doing just what valve wants you to
>>340852910
kill yourself
No one unironically gives a shit about Half Life 3 or Valve in general anymore.
The one time saviors of PC gaming turned into nothing better than a wannabe chink Microtransaction shit fest.
Instead of making video games, we got the STEAM BOX, that no one wanted or asked for and died on its fucking ass.
Fuck your freemium bullshit, fuck your artificial rarity hat / weapon skin scamming
Fuck your BUY A KEY TO UNLOCK THIS BOX.
i cant imagine how many times Valve must have scrapped HL3 and started over again by now
>>340853209
what's annoying is that they could have easily continued making half life, portal etc on the side of making steam money.
like they'll be st their offices now just sat on their arse looking at hat sales.
>>340851450
>>340853290
Exactly zero times.
It was started and abandoned - never scrapped or restarted. People lost interest in working on it.
>>340851450
>>340851251
I'm pissed and I'm not even a PC fat. I played HL2 and its episodes on 360 via the Orange Box, and I want a goddamned resolution.
>>340853323
Valve Business model
1. Taking a cut of games sold on steam
2. Making money on in game microtransactions sales
3. Taking a cut of e-goods sold on Marketplace
4. Trying to become a hardware distributor (trying)
5. Server hosting

106. Video games

thats what i think too, The FPS climate changed because CoD happened and valve had no idea how to "rock the boat" with HL3. The answer has been sitting right in front of them the whole time. "Portal" and they wasted it by franchising it.
imagine introducing the portal gun in HL3
HOLE-E-SHIT. The accolades would have been pouring in a decade later
THEN they could have gone ahead with chell/aperture with a standalone game
but no they blew their load too early with the orange box

>2 games

>>340851251
who even cares about halflife anymore lmao
>>340851450
>>340851251
I don't care anymore. Infact, I never cared at all.
>>340851526
God this
>Played through HL1 last year
>Loved every secondeven Xen
>Launched up HL2 pretty much straight after
>Keep dropping it because of how slow and boring it is
Think I'm fairly close to the end though. Are the episodes worth playing?
>yearning for another episode of a corridor shooter with scripted events out of the ass
And now I've remembered how they've butchered the artistic direction of TF2, fuck.
>>340854078
he makes a valid point and you went super saiyan over a misused word.
>>340851251
I hope Gave Newell dies of pancreatic cancer. Fat pig jew deserves it.
>>340852910
I hope they don't expect me to suddenly get excited and be okay with nearly a decade of silence if they do confirm it.
>half life 2 is one of my favorite games of all time
i never even thought people could call it bad, that shit was amazing
>>340854231
Yes. Some people dislike ep1 but I liked both, with the exception of ep2's last chapter.
>>340854806
how did you not like episode 2's silo defense? it was fun and quite unique for a "boss level"
