Please, keep complaining about HL3

[DarkGames]

One thing I commonly saw on the internet following the game's reveal was people saying "Finally, now everyone will stop complaining about Half-Life 3!"

Now, I have a VR setup, I pre-ordered HL: Alyx and look forward to it, but you know what I'm even more excited for? Mods for Half-Life 2. Black Mesa's full release. I'm convinced this will be the greatest VR experience to date, but the greatest Half-Life experience... That's supposed to be Half-Life 3, right? You can read Epistile 3 online, essentially explaining where the game would've went, and rather than bring many of us closure, it only opened our imaginations further, hence why projects such as project borealis, or my personal go to, boreal alyph exist. But I feel like both teams are a little hesitent, because what if Valve does something? Half-Life Alyx is only going to further interest in the series, people want to see how the combine will be dealt with. We may know how it unfolds, but I can speak for every Half-Life fan when I say we want to play it. So please, keep complaining, you have every right to.

only poor people can't afford VR, LOL @ the poor losers. they should just get jobs. /flex

dude are you a troll?

Valve's going to work on whatever Valve wants to work on. Complaining didn't do anything for the past 12 years and it's not going to do anything going forward. Can we just enjoy HLA?

in reality because of valves flat structure, the best way to get half life 3 is actually to be positive and encouraging, not complain.

the only way half life 3 happens is if enough people at valves have high morale and get excited about creating it.

OP I don't think complaining will help.

I'm complaining because I'm mad they've ignored the ending and now they have the guts to return to the series and not even address said ending.

HL:A may actually expand on the ending of ep2.

valve has recommended that you play episode 2 before HL:A and there is reason to believe there is some kind of connection.

this is being sold as a prequel, but there is reason to believe that it actually is much more involved in the continuation than we would expect.

I guess there is much more than we know now. I just think the proper continuation with Freeman should exist and should exist on PC.

Like I'm introducing a friend to Half-Life right now, we've been playing in coop on and off.
We're at Nova Prospekt right now.
We took a pause to play Portal 2 coop and I've recommended that he play through Portal 1&2 campaigns.
Then we'll get to the ending of HL2 and play EP1. Then EP2. And then what? Yep.

i agree, and i think valve agrees too, which is probably part of why this is half lif: alyx, not half life 3.


doing a VR only non HL3 let them have more creative freedom.

and because it has been 12 years since the last half life, it also allows them to build a new team of people who are familiar with the IP, have learned how it will work in todays tech, and have the creative pipline primed to create content in this engine and this game world.

Exactly. It's a spinoff in a way like Blue Shift (in terms of story, not mechanics), so there's still hope they haven't thrown KB+M Half-Life out the window

nope, this is not a spin-off, Half-Life: Alyx is a full standalone game in the series
Blue Shift was an expansion for Half-Life

which is why I said in terms of story)
All mainline HL games, the numbered ones, are about Gordon Freeman.
They make the next big Half-Life game and don't number it.

I think they know exactly what they're doing and I hope it means that they at least haven't scratched the idea of a third mainline installment which may eventually come.
Sometime.
Maybe...

Please, Gaben?

We were positive and encouraging for 6 years after Episode 2 released. After that, we ran out patience.

yeah it's been a long time since the release of Half-Life 2 Episode 2 enough is enough people want some damn closure already! cliffhangers are the effing worst.

Alyx is still a mainline game. The only reason it has no number attached to the name is that Valve wants Half-Life 3 to be a different game and that HL0 or HL 1,5 just sounds stupid.

and for most of that time they've been building a new engine that is finally seriously rolling out with HL:A.
