Cannot believe people are still talking about this 20 years later…

Alyx is not HL3, and I don’t get it when people say it is.
HL2E2 ended on a cliffhanger, we were partway through a story that never received an ending.
Alyx is a prequel to HL2.
If Peter Jackson never released LOTR: Return Of The King, but still went ahead with The Hobbit, that would not make it a conclusion to the LOTR trilogy, it would still just be a prequel film.

I didn’t say it was HL3. I replied to a post implying the series hasn’t had an update in 20 years.
It’d be like a Star Wars fan wondering why there’s buzz about the movie coming out next year despite it being 42 years since Return of the Jedi. And the answer is that even if that’s the last one that particular fan personally cared about, there has been Star Wars media since then.
Also, Alyx did resolve the HL2E2 ending. It didn’t add a whole lot on past that, but the cliffhanger was very much addressed.

Right, that’s not what’s being discussed.

To be fair we know that a HL Sequel was worked on by Valve several times but always scrapped in various stages of production. So the rumours really came from somewhere reasonable and not just from pure speculation and desperation.

People still want a good Star Wars sequel.
Hope burns long.

Andor is a good Star Wars sequel… to the prequels

We got like a dozen sequels 😂

“good” being the main descriptor here.

The Last Jedi is top 3 out of the Skywalker movies easily.
In a few short years, you’ll see. The sequels will be redeemed just as the prequels before them. Time is a flat circle.

The Force Awakens was good, mostly by way of just being A New Hope again.

My wife asked me when we’re watching Star Wars. I told her “When the story is finished”.

From my point of view Star Wars was finished the second Disney acquired it.

All Star Wars suck balls.
I can’t believe people like it for any other reason than nostalgia.
There are so many better pieces of media.
