I think the point is that Valve's policy on making games focuses more on their own selfishness than the fans. "Yeah we are not feeling like making it." i understand but there is a fucking line you have to draw until it becomes just cruel and injust. Ep2 ended on a cliffhanger for crying out loud and every other company makes games on their announced dates, only sometimes prolonging them but still usually delivering. Valve just does what they want, hoping that gives better creative results. They've set the bar so low that fans including myself are ready to settle for anything at this point. Even if it looks exactly like the Source engine HL2 it always did and has no new mechanics. We just want the story to end.

And more and more fat

[@spartan456]

It's weird because you can see exactly where the decision to stop working on EP3 happened. In the first couple of years after The Orange Box released, Gabe was very forthcoming in explaining how Episode 3 is gonna blow everybody's pants off. He was more than happy to discuss it and at least say "yep, we've been hard at work, it's gonna be great." And then sometime later that all changes. He's no longer happy to even mention it, he just outright tells people "I'm not talking about that", with no explanation other than "it'll be ready when it's ready." I don't think even Gabe was willing to admit they weren't working on it anymore. Given the fact that Marc Laidlaw "leaked" the plot for Episode 3 years later, it wouldn't surprise me if some internal conflicts at Valve played a role in shelving the entire development cycle for the game. Something happened at Valve that made Gabe reach the decision to mothball it, and I don't think it's because they've been "too busy" printing money with Steam. The whole point of the Steam market is it's very hands-off. Nobody at Valve has to touch anything to make money from it. It's almost entirely passive income with the exception of occasional maintenance and upkeep. It requires nowhere near the same amount of man power to maintain, unlike developing a video game. I think something happened at Valve. Maybe some important people quit, or possibly even died. I think that's why the sudden shift occurred in Gabe's demeanor on mentioning the game over the years. It'd be one thing if it had been 5 or 6 years and he just got sick of getting the same question, but he became VERY disinterested in even hearing about it after just 2 or 3 years. All very suspicious, IMO.

​@SheepBlippy It was hardly edging past 2008 when he stopped answering things directly It's a very understandable why he doesn't want to talk about it, he could answer that the game was pretty obviously cancelled because lead didn't think it was good enough to finish off the trilogy, if it was only that simple, there'd be an outcry, people would dig, did everyone think it wasnt good enough? Did someone fuck up? People would rather blame someone, be it gaben or just valve in general for ruining their most anticipated game release rather than the company simply deciding it wasnt good enough Half life is a million dollar IP, and it makes no sense to start drama about it, a game was probably being developed and it wasnt good enough so it was cancelled, the worst thing that could happen if he is upfront about it is that people start harassing old employees of something that happened over a decade ago and would do everything they could to dig up a copy of it, or potentially spoil the story. Worst case scenario if he doesn't tell everyone what happened? People are mildly annoyed and disgruntled over not having another game of their favorite series released.

[@garethdouglas5659]

Darth Bane You have either never played half life or it's just not you're kind of game/world because for me and many others it is an amazing game with an immense story. Being a fps game should not label it as a bland game, not all games have to be open world fps in order to have good story and immersion.

[@lordragnarok5336]

EXU_SKULLY nice Madara reference

[@Morningstar.Unofficial]

Gareth Douglas the story of half life 1 was a bare bones Doom clone with only the ending conversation with Gman doing anything to flesh out the story, and Half-Life 2 has not aged nearly as well as people would have you believe. Half the characters are generic npcs from HL1 that they slapped names on and never get fleshed out cause they treat them like we're supposed to know who they are already. Because the characters know Gordon and talk to him like he already knows everything even though the player has no idea what happened between 1 and 2 or how any of these people are significant. Gordon Freeman doesn't work as a protagonist cause he's too established in the lore for the player to project themselves into but doesn't do anything to build the story since he never speaks. I mean Dr. Breen literally came out of thin air to be the antagonist and you barely see him before he dies. Episodes 1 & 2 are fantastic and still hold up really well but base HL2 is super below average shooter with some trash level design aside from Ravenholm. HL1 holds up better in terms of atmosphere and gameplay tbh.

The first one did that through being a continuous series of areas without any cutscenes or menus in between. The second one did that through the Source engine’s physics. Alyx did that through pushing VR to its absolute limit. Maybe 3 will come out in a few centuries and show the benefits time travel or teleportation can bring to video games idk
