rest in rip black science man

ALMOST 10 FUCKING YEARS

yeah maybe five years ago
no one cares about it anymore

>valve will never make another game that isn't mobashit or cs

Maybe they are waiting for 2019 so that they can say that it took 12 years to make

I replayed Portal 2 a few months back and it convinced me that they could easily make a good HL3 / EP3 if they just wanted.

They simply don't want to and haven't for years. Probably because it wouldn't be as profitable as other stuff they're doing. Don't know.

fact: HL2 ep2 is casualized shit CoDified to no end. Set piece after set piece after set piece, no level design whatsoever. I still don't understand why people loved it. To this day I still prefer the maligned ep.1

>playtester kept going right.jpg

Valve doesn't make games anymore. You want Valve to make games? Stop buying games from their shitty DRM service.

Nah, portal "lore" was "shit happens so far in the future everything already went to shit" just so it never cross onto the half life universe anymore.

Like that'll ever happen. It's the largest digital distributor out there.

They practically made the market.

I don't mean lore-wise, but simply referring to their ability to make a compelling and polished game. Imo, HL3 doesn't need to be the masterpiece shooter of the century. It just needs to be a good shooter, half-life-themed. They could easily do it and make people like me very happy (and as I believe, really, most people).

>beat every half life game thanks to summer sale
>realize the franchise has been overhyped to the point that whatever valve releases will be underwhelming as fuck
It's a solid 8/10 franchise, you retards have all set yourselves up for a massive disappointment.

Not going to debate the overall quality of the series but the reason people loved half life is because they changed the way games were made.

They are currently making 3 games, kid.

Didn't the Borealis already establish a connection between Portal and Half-Life? HL3 probably would have been going out to the ship and finding a prototype portal gun or something.

Anyone know some good Half Life 2 mods? I have a Valve itch after beating Portal 2 again.

element 120 is good but it's extremely short

Just downloaded that one, gonna go through what's available on Steam first.

>play HL2 + episodes
>they turn out inferior to a free mod remake of HL1

Mission improbably too
and of course Minerva: metastasis, but I'm pretty sure everyone and their dog have played that one.

it is on steam

***mission improbable
fuck me sideways

Really?

Black mesa wasn't made in 2004

I know, I just said I downloaded it

...

Yes, for VR. You'll have to ask mommy and daddy if they can buy you a headset.

Not him, but the number 3 should have given you a hint he was just fucking with you.

>finish half life 2 and both of it's episodes
>literally don't remember any of the story or even gameplay segments outside a lighthouse and a shitty metro with a bunch of ground turrets

>So autistic he can't even remember a game he just played

You being an autist with a bad memory says nothing about the quality of the half life series.

it was just unmemorable, i remember more about half life singleplayer and i played that first

"prepare for unforeseen consequences"

Almost.

Almost? This year for sure

>valve is working on 3 games

You live in a dimension were Ricochet 2 VR comes before Half Life 3

>not remembering at least the airboat/jeep levels
you have autism

Huh? Who told you that? If anything, Portal 2 strengthened the connection between the two.

You guys really don't know anything about Portal's deep lore.

That's not deep, and it doesn't explain why you think it takes place "so far into the future".

That's the main lore and that more Half Life 1-2 related.

>unintelligible blabber

Sure.

Your opinion

My gain

Portal series writers: Erik Wolpaw, Jay Pinkerton, Chet Faliszek.

Look up the current employment status of these men.

Everyday until Nov 2017 ;-)

real gman from volvo.

>dat alyx sobbing at the very end
it haunts me so hard. It sounds so scary.

and laidlaw.

all the original valve writers are gone, because valve doesnt need writers anymore.

Forget what this meme was about, please do a quick rundown

real gman from valvula

not really

They had a level with a branching path. One path let you loop around back to where you started. The other way moved you forward and let you progress. Some idiot playtester kept looping around for a really long time and so Valve removed the branching path.

It's a bit from the Episode 2 dev commentary.

>that voice
>that whispering
>dat eerie music

>not knowing what it all means

That's pretty much how every FPS became a linear corridor. Valve wasn't unique in listening to drooling retarded stoner play testor who they paid in free tacos, ALL of them do it and that's why they had to retard-proof maps. Consider that Clueless Gamer with Conan where he spent 30 minutes trying to cross through a busy moving traffic instead of using the bridge to cross over the traffic like he was supposed to do (or whatever it was, i didn't play Kevin Spacey's game)

Holy shit

Daily reminder that RLM is wrong about boyhood and parroting their lame meme marks you as one yourself

Jesus christ I am so mad nothing ever came of this
>3 years now
Fucking kill me

This was never sourced
>le source joke

HL2 was a genre defining game that set the standard for any game that came after. If at any point it ever feels underwhelming it's because you've already experienced something that was inspired by it. It's a solid game by today's standards because it set the standards.

Pic related falls in the same category but gets a free pass because of nostalgia.

Just wait until September

I'll wait until they announce their three vr titles. If none of them are hl3, then I will finally give up hope forever

>le Seinfeld effect
It only affects plebs

What about the movie?

Don't even care about the game that much at this point, but unfinished story pisses me to no end. If they knew how they suck with episodes, why end it with fucking cliffhanger. And same with the base game itself: *kaboom* End. Like WTF?!?
And after Ep2 they just did tableflip and fuck it, we dont give a shit anymore and it will remain stuck in limbo forever.

>my fucking face when they name the movie "half life 3"

Nothing like that is called "cloverfield3"
