  Who cares? I’d rather they take their time instead of rushing the first crap they think about. And knowing valve I bet they waited for newer technologies to offer more in their games (case is in point: Alyx with VR)

    who cares?

    Well, looks like I’ve got some upvotes and i got a reply for you so I’m guessing some people care. Tbh you just sound like a wet rag here and if you only want to hear about things you agree with then you can go talk to a mirror.

    I’m fully aware some people are excited for HL3 whenever it comes out and some people are content to wait. I’m merely stating that the ship has sailed for me. Heaven forbid someone doesn’t consider gabe a golden god.

      What? You’re the one complaining because I didn’t agree with you…

      Why would I consider Gabe anything? I just argued I’m glad Valve is taking their time to release HL3 (if that really is the case)

        I’m not complaining because you didn’t agree with me. I’m pointing out that you cared enough to reply (despite asking who cares) and I’m also pointing out that this saying who cares is a rude as fuck thing to open a conversation with.

        You can disagree with me all you want, that’s your right. If you want to be rude then don’t be surprised when someone calls you out for it.

  As Gaben put it in the recent valve doc, moving the story forward wasn’t a good enough reason to put out a new Half Life. The series has always been about pushing technological innovations, and they just felt stumped on how HL3 was going to do that.

  People like to claim valve doesn’t do anything anymore, but I legitimately feel like PC gaming is the best deal for gaming right now, handily beating out console and mobile, and that is in large part due to valve.

  Their flat internal structure hasn’t been perfect, but on the bright side it didn’t result in them pumping out what the gaming industry would have viewed in retrospect as yet another obligatory entry in an FPS series. Valve’s intention was to let smart people solve hard problems in the gaming space, and IMO they have always done that, it just so far hasn’t resulted in a HL3.

  Will you get the itch after you start seeing trailers, praise and hear people talk about playing it?

    Doubtful. I have played 30 hours of video games this past year (bloodborne after finally being able to play on PC)

  I’ve heard people say they won’t make HL3 until the next big leap in gaming is here.

  1 was with us into “true 3D” era

  2 was with us into physics engines

  Alyx was with us into VR gaming.

  3 will be with us …?

  I’m excited to find where we’re going. Gaming has been pretty stale for a long time. Sure we’ve had plenty of games that have got very clever with what we have, but we haven’t had a major leap in a long time, they’ve just been getting a bit more polish and shine each year. Short of deep-dive VR I honestly don’t know what could be next.

    next big leap is an AAA game actually worth its price, which is what valve is trying to accomplish.
