gaming At This Point, Should Half Life 3 Just Not Come Out?

[Denim&Venöm 18,924]

At this point, you've all been waiting patiently for the third installment of Half life to come out? But with this many years to be made, will it ever live up to the hype? I'm afraid it might go the same route Duke Nukem Forever went. No I'm not saying that it's going to be a half assed, poorly optimised, crude, classless, outdated piece of garbage. More in the line that it won't meet expectations, even if it was a to be a great game. 

 

I'm certain that if there is a Half life 3, it will never exceed or even meet people's expectations.

Probably not. It's just like Sonic Adventure 3. Everyone wants that game, but it never will be released. It would probably end up being a huge failure like Sonic 4.

who knows really... like team fortress classic to tf2... you never know...

 

(I just hope a team fortress 3 WONT come out team fortress 2 is too perfect to have a sequel)

TF2 Perfect? That's some funny stuff xD

 

Anyways, with the success TF2 got after it's long development period (Which I will never understand, TFC was so much better and way more balanced and fair) The wait may as well be worth it. Though it has been awhile. Episode 2 was released in 2007, it's been 8 years since the last Half-Life game, Valve wouldn't give up on one of their most beloved IPs. That's like Nintendo giving the boot to Mario, Pokemon, or Zelda.

Well, it's been 8 years since Episode 2 came out, and source 2.0 was apparently recently released(I think?) I'd say after source 2 is announced, we might see something. I think it's still too soon to say.

 

TF2 Perfect? That's some funny stuff xD

I agree that it's not a perfect game, but I wouldn't call it the worst thing to come from Valve. After all, it's mostly the community that makes the game unbalanced and unfair, it's not Valve's fault the game is full of players who don't understand the concept of a team-based shooter. Maybe making the game f2p wasn't the best idea.

There we go :3 Perfect explanation why I don't like TF2. It's basically become a Pay to Win game.

 

Anyways, you make a valid point with the Source 2.0 Engine. Maybe Valve was waiting to update its Engine to make a higher quality Half-Life game for us to enjoy, who knows, though that makes a lot of sense.

[Discordian 6,015]

I've never played these games but I honestly don't know why people hold on so fiercely to this game's existence. Surely there are other games out there worth your time. I'd argue there's probably even better games, in the same genre even.

Play the games, you'll understand our pain xD The gist of it is that the last game held us up in a Cliffhanger and it has been a long time since that point. Plus Valve promised us a sequel to it, so we're holding them up on it.

Well, you don't pay to win, most of the weapons are side-grades, but it's filled with people who take advantage of the f2p system and play not knowing what the fuck they're supposed to do. Most people just camp at your spawn, or they'll have 3 heavies and 5 sniper, and 4 W-M1 Pyros, mostly people acting like assholes and playing unfairly.

[Discordian 6,015]

I can think of plenty other games that have left me on a cliffhanger of some sort and never resolved them but I can always play another game. There are literally tens of thousands of games in existence, more even, and I refuse to believe that this one game is the only thing worth playing.

Okay we're going way off topic, and I don't want this thread to be locked for off topic discussion. But I agree with you nonetheless. But in relation to TF2 and HL3, it's been around the same time we had a hiatus for TFC and TF2, so maybe in the upcoming year or next year we will hear something, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Good point.

But yeah, I hope it gets released sometime soon, though last I heard, they weren't working on it.

[Lisa 5,553]

It should.

 

While it definitely won't live up to standard, because everybody has some type of problem with newly released games nowadays, people will still buy it like crazy. Which equals Valve getting more money.

 

And we all know that Valve is all about that $$$. 

[Commissar Alexer 763]

They probably don't know how to continue yet.

[Megas 27,625]

If it does release and doesn't live up to the hype, I feel that in this case it would be the fault of gamers for hyping(as I'm sure the game itself will be fine if they haven't started it already)

[KrazyDashie 1,847]

when I said perfect I mean... its so funny to see all the glitches in tf2 right? :3
