REJOICE IN THE COMING OBLIVION OF VALVE AND STEAM.
>>323166564
I'm sure, in the 12 years since Half-life 2, he never once thought about how they might continue the story ;^)
>>323166809
>implying they ever will
Keep following the carrot, horse.

>My life is so pathetic and worthless that whenever anyone else hears any bad news I get legitimately happy and rub it into their face, to give meaning to my shitty existence.
>>323166564
honestly only idiots care about this shit
and Gabe is funding a hardware cooking company so what?
Good, the half life series was cool as a concept in the past but now it's dated and boring, better that Valve put their resources into something that's not a meme that people would cry "not as good as original!!" Anyway
>>323166564
>feeling a need for a break from the collaborative chaos of game production
but the dude hasn't done anything since HL2
>>323166564
Excellent, now Valve can do what they became famous for: DRM and remakes of mods with microtransactions!
>>323166564
That is a fucking shame, if it is true. Marc Laidlaw was the guy who proposed Prospero, and he was one of Gabe's closest personal friends. A massive Borges fan. I was actually hoping he would get to make a Borges inspired game with Valve eventually.
>>323168014
The fact that they have not released anything does not mean they haven't been working on something.
>>323168014
Exactly, nigga wants to actually do something that gets released.
valve hate risks
they actually have only ever released one original franchise, Half-Life
they are now a Steam company first
>>323167639
>being so pathetic and worthless that you let something as idiotic as OPs banter get under your skin
>>323168014
He's probably written a million HL3s already and is tired of not seeing anyone else make it happen.
pcucks BTFO yet again
>>323168442
You actually don't have to let it get under your skin to recognize how pathetic it is. And it is quite disturbingly pathetic. Having a thick skin is a good thing, but sometimes people are really becoming quite desintetized and are starting to be unable to notice things that are genuinely pathological.
It won't come out because Valve is stumped on finding a way to make a single player game into a cash store.
>>323166564
Do people actually take the HL3 meme seriously at this point?
>>323168742
*HL2ep2ep1
>>323166564
I played HL 1 and 2 back in the day, after HL it was always about the engine and what other Valve games would use it like CS and TF.
They were ok games but I don't really care anymore.
>>323168654
This is some really, really fucking dumb line of reasoning. It won't come out because Valve has not figured out anything that would live up to their artificially inflated renome and the inflated expectations laid upon them.
If financial profit was their prime motivation, they would not have wasted ten years worth of development costs on continuously aborted projects, you fucking idiots. Is basic fiscal reasoning really that elusive to you?
>2016
>still caring about a shitty franchise
It's long dead, no wonder Valve dropped it ages ago
Let it go.
HL2 was a meh game.
>>323168153
Why? Why not get paid while doing nothing but watch anime on your office with some trips to the snack bar?
>>323168305
umm your forgetting Ricochet?
And Portal. I'm pretty sure the guys that made it were valve employees.
>tfw we will never get left 4 dead 3 because of all the butthurt over 2
fuck half life i put way more hours into l4d 1 and 2
>>323168971
>Portal
No, you see Gaben himself didn't made the game, they just hire the people that had the idea so it doesn't count.
Same goes for TF, CS and Dota.
I wish they would have just announced it was canceled years ago instead of pussyfooting around and saying they had nothing new to say. It's obvious that they stopped working on it the second they realized how profitable Steam and ingame microtransactions were compared to one singleplayer-only linear shooter.
>>323169253
The hope that it still exists and might someday come out is the metaphorical carrot on a stick for valvedrones.
>>323169216
TF, CS, and Dota were all remade from non-valve user created mods though. Portal was, from conception, made in-house and they hired the Narbacular Drop guys to develop it.
Valve isn't just Gabe. Do you think he sat on his exercise ball and coded Half Life in it's entirety?
I hate this idea that Chuck Norris has super-human powers. He is an actor, not God, people. If he really is special, I dare him to magically appear in my house now, sneak up behind me and slam my face into my own keyboarfhcfhvjjvggxddd56576fgzd668/fhuvgsrxgcyseuv hufdg
who? and who cares?
we have undertale and other great indie games
>>323167639
If I wanted humor I'd ask you your high scores.
>>323166564
If Valve gonna cancel HL3 then it's time to end my life as i have no reason anymore to be alive.
>Valve will never actually release a game again
Holy fuck, how many PC focused devs are actually left now?
Jesus, soon Blizzard is going to win by fucking default
I give up
Time to die. I hope the next life isn't as disappointing as this one.
>>323166809
Even if it's his story he's not writing the dialog or telling it through the environment or anything.
Valve is fucking stupid, they know the fans will wait 20 years for their trilogy but their employees won't.
>confirmed
I don't see how that confirms anything, am I being baited?
>>323166564
>half life 3 will never be released
>news
NNNNNNN-----OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....
NNNNN.... NOOOOOOOOOOO AHHH...
NOO....

Does anyone even care about half life 3 anymore?
>A game I never gave a shit about is never going to get released
Ok.
>>323166564
THIS IS ALL A RUSE FOR THEIR E3 ANNOUNCEMENT RIGHT
>>323174382
I want to fuck Erin.
>>323169087
You'll get L4D3 as soon as Valve's marketing professionals figure at the optimum way to implement microtransactions.
>>323177287
Valve gave up after they couldnt make a non vomiting version of HLVR
