Comment on A 2003 complaint about Half Life 2

  People really liked Half-Life Alyx so whoever is in the development team is still capable of making a game people love. Though, ultimately, whether a hypotetical release of Half-Life 3 could live up to the hype or not is irrelevant since no such game will ever be released.

    Should I give it another try? I hate the movement so much

      I don’t know, I don’t own a VR headset. But I never heard anyone talk about it negatively. Apparently the gameplay is rather restricted since it’s supossed to be a beginner’s VR game but that’s about it.

  Half life 3 will simply never live up to the hype/fantasy people have for it ( I think ).

  After all this time I feel they’re either never going to release it, or release it when the bar from the public becomes… Realistic.

    That was maybe true once, but it’s fading into nothing but a meme. Half life is just not relevant for newer generations.

    But that may just be the opportunity… Giving them a reason to care.

      We said the same thing about Baldur’s Gate and then BG3 sold gangbusters. It’s possible.

    I don’t think they care much about general public expectations, they released Alyx with general public not even having an option to play it. If HL3 will ever be released by the current Valve it will be a game they are proud of themselves to produce.
