I remember asking my brother back in 2001 about a CD I randomly found in a pile while helping him to move. He said Half Life... now, 16 years later. It is still one of the best experiences I've ever had.
TISQUESUSA I found Half Life in a store while I was a kid, I was desperate for a new game, so my dad bought it for me. That was my introduction to Valve
I didn't play the Half Life games until I got my first PC in 2012 or something and I figured out that steam was the place to buy games, and that Valve owns it and that they also make games. I bought almost all their games during the summer sale.

carso1500 Dota 2 makes more than both of those combined, and that's not even mentioning Steam. Face it, we aren't getting any new Valve single-player experiences ever again.
Yep, it's a great ending, still have some unanswered questions but with Alyx in stasis and Gordon in the middle of nowhere, a possible HL3 could be the end of the game series where Alyx is awakened by the G-Man, find Gordon and finding out the truth about the G-Man, but that's the best we're gonna get and I am grateful that the writer gave us some closure
To me, especially based on Laidlaws statements it seems like the G-Man is following some kind of goal, and he "spawns" gordon into key-locations/times to achieve his goal.
you couldnt have pictured that ending yourself ten years ago? it is literally the most basic ending you could put together from where it left of, they get to the ship and blow it up "the end". except it's not really an end.
Just imagine, a huge stage. Gabe Newell steps out, and the crowd goes wild. They get even louder when a the Half-Life logo appears on-screen. Gabe waits for the crowd to settle, then says, "You've all been waiting for so long... I think it's finally time for... THE HALF LIFE CARD GAME! :D"
Marc Laidlaw's vision for Half-Life is done. Marc Laidlaw's vision for Half-Life being what I actually cared about. Half-Life is done for me. I don't care what some hack newbie comes up with between writing fluff text for Dota card games.
I've watched this guy for a very long time, and I can tell you from the way he said, that wasn't... well it wasn't "sarcasm" but it was something in the same vein.
Half-Life 2: Episode 2 was released on October 10, 2007. It is now August 30, 2017 500 million people have died since Half-Life 2 was released. 500 million people who will never see Half-Life 3 How many more people must die, Gabe? How many millions until you do the right thing?
Half life 2 sucked ( ghasp ). Half life 3 will suck so it wont be made. Who even cares anymore. Its a long forgotten game thats crappy by current standards.
Grzegorz Durda half life 2 didn’t suck, especially by that times standards. Sure it may not be the best game but it is a great game and a game that would be as innovative as half life 2 was is unimaginable
Grzegorz Durda Half Life 3 is not forgotten and will never be forgotten, there are millions of people that care about the franchise, and Half Life 2 was an amazing game back in the day, the graphics and physics and realistic character faces, it was pure gold!
RandomlyDrumming my dear you have your mothers eyes but your fathers stubborn nature, we'll see how well it servers you on the far side of a combine portal.
Of course your question touches on one of the most basic biological impulses, with all its associated hopes and fears for the future of the species. I also detect some unspoken questions.
i am serbian too and i you are a disgrace to serbia just why i know i have a fire X as my photo but i am too lazy to change it including my name too but really fucking really
lmfao, brawlmaster7, you're one to talk. Just read your channel description: "I play retro games/consoles mostly, but im not afraid to blow myself and the dust off my PC. I like games like Earthbound, LISA, Hylics, Banjo Kazooie, Conkers Bad Fur day, Duke Nukem 3D, ClayFighter Sculptors Cut, and other shit. I enjoy doodling, painting, and sculpting" ohhh yeah pal you're so unique! you're so different from all the other unique and special people in the world! you're the most unique and special person out of all of us! fucking lollllll, what a tool. edit: LOL he changed his name and channel description! what a sad pussy. can dish it, but can't take it, eh cunt?
+Gonk Droid Where the fuck did he claim to be "unique" or "special"? What even is the point of your comment? Why do you care if he likes retro games? Seriously, what is your point?
This is beyond sad, people have legitimately passed away with the idea that they'll be able to see the final chapter to this masterpiece. You know what's the scariest part about waiting? Not knowing if you are waiting for "something".
oh my god, you don't even know how i hate comments like: "ym, beloved half life fans have died since the last game was released". Of course they fucking did, for fuck sake, in that time when i was writing this comment, someone who played half life probably died, there's like over 7 billion of us, and people die every god damn second. Nothing unusual in people passing away while waiting for a game that will probably never be released... yeah but it is kind of sad, i'll give you that.
Exactly. People will always die. Even if HL3 or HL2:E2 was released a month after the previous game, people still would have died between that time frame. Don't make death of people a part of this, it just isn't fair. You're making it seem as if it's on Valve that these people have died without the chance to play the game after the last one, and to me that is really fucking inconsiderate. People will always die without experiencing something, it's life, and it sucks, but you can't help it and you shouldn't dwell on it.
I think if anything, Marc Laidlaw's work points out that Gman was actually the good guy. Yeah, he brought the combine to earth and made sure the war happened, but if he never did that then the combine would have just continued to build a massive empire of enslavement because the human resistance had what they needed to defeat the combine: the Borealis. So he seemed to make odd decisions, but this is the total logical conclusion. As to who he is and what he can do, I still haven't the slightest. The idea that he actually works with the government makes sense, as he appears human and has access to the information the scientists uncovered, even seen talking to them and riding trams in Black Mesa in the beginning. But we can't say for certain.
As depressing as the whole mess is, I am still a fan of Dota and I love its lore, and the card game sounds pretty good. But it was really fucking stupid of Valve to announce it as their first game is fucking YEARS, it reeks of greed
The pure fucking passion and research that goes into these videos is why I come to your channel to refresh daily. You do a fantastic job. Unprecedented commentary. Thank you.
This channel generates content out of nothing for views. The entire channel is the definition of clickbait. By the sounds of it the creator doesn't even like DotA 2 or CS:GO. How can you be the Valve News Network and not be a fan of and support their two largest industry presences?
Imbalanxd maybe I have bias towards Portal and Halflife in particular, but I believe he does cover news regarding those (Dota 2, C.S-G.O.) pretty decently.
Imbalanxd if you watch his channel he actually covers Csgo and tf2 very extensively, with a few half life and portal videos every once in a while. As for Dota, he's said he's not a Moba guy
If only Valve cared appreciated such passion for its company anymore... And if Valve even dares to try and take Laidlaw to court, believe me, they should _prepare for unforeseen consequences_
I bought a Valve Complete Pack on Steam which did not include DOTA or CSGO Once. I love Valve and i don't care about dota tbh. You're not measuring people's passionscorrectly my friend.
L4D. Half-Life. Portal. TF2. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Valve Nation attacked. Only Gabe, master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and The Community and I discovered the new Hero, an Scientist named Freeman, and although his Crowbar skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Gordon Freeman can save the world.
I agree with everything else-But saying "Don't finish the story of the Resistance against Combine Occupation because the former writer released a 5 paragraph, self described fanfic". I know that at this point the story feels like it has closure, but it...doesn't. Can you imagine 50 years in the future, looking back on this franchise and its universe and saying "What's the connective tissue between Half Life 2 and Half Life 3? Why did the story in Half Life 2 never end?" and getting the response "Well, because the writer made a blog post that had a very basic story outline for it and that was conclusive enough for everyone."
"Can you imagine 50 years in the future, looking back on this franchise and its universe and saying "What's the connective tissue between Half Life 2 and Half Life 3? Why did the story in Half Life 2 never end?"" No. Because 50 years later there is STILL no Half Life 3.
Cecil Palmer I honestly hate that ending, mainly because it's my worst fear in life - to be cut off from all the people I know, but also because I love all the characters, especially Alyx, and wouldn't exactly like just an abrupt cut-off because gee mans took her and combine apparently are invincible and the vortigaunts never even knew.
In 2018 we will reach the year where halfway between the creation of Valve and the current time will be the release of HL2 Ep2. After that it will have been longer since the release of EP2 than it has been between the creation of Valve and the release of every HL games. If we applied that same timeline to Nintendo with Mario we would end up with Super Smash Bros Melee as their last game.
Shut the fuck up with this denial bullshit, It's legit speculation. Half Life 3 WILL Come, Half Life is NOT dead. But go ahead and be the nihilist that you like to be .
right. im sure idiots will still be screaming "guys its coming soon! is not ded! gabe is god!" in 10 years from now. people like you and VNN would still likely say "guyz its NOT DEAD!" even if gabe himself released a statement stating "we will never release a new half life game"
actually that would be great its just like they said it was going to be a dota card game as joke to mess with us so when we play the game it turns out its half life but im getting hopes up that probably not the case
+DrivanRadosivic no. GabeN coming out during a conference, and saying: "Hey everyone, that thing you all wanted? Half Life 3? We're making it into a CSGO skin!"
Even if Gearbox agreed to it, I doubt OF2 would be any good, considering today Gearbox is composed of untalented hacks now. They could just put Adrian in a different city and time zone (before Freeman shows up), and do something similar to Reinstated.
They could make him a CP. Maybe he wakes up after Alyx kicks his ass and something in his head is damaged, and he runs through the game knowing nothing other than to chase Freeman.
Instead of placing Shephard's into the typical boring bad guy role, let's try this: What if G-Man releasing Gordon Freeman from stasis in HL2 timeline was merely a distraction for everyone? What if G-Man purposely released Gordon for the world & Combines to focus on him, while at the same time sends unknown people like Shephard at the backyard to destroy the Combines from within? What if it wasn't Barney, Gordon, Alyx, or Eli started the uprising in C17, but it was commanded by Shephard? What if Shephard was behind the ones disabling the Suppression Field, thus allowing humans to have children again? Most important question is, what if Adrian Shephard was already released from stasis long ago, but we just didn't know it?
"Single player games are the past." Interesting. That's only what I play now. Fallout4, Skyrim, Reran through HL1, HL2, and all available episodes this past Dec. Portal 1 & 2 ... And while Civ 5 is capable of multiplayer, I only play single player. Roller-Coaster Tycoon. Minecraft (while capable of multiplayer, I've never tried). And, yes, while I am just a single point of data, my point is important... particularly if Valve is going with the "money drives creativity" angle. Because they don't get monetization from single player games when their hats in multiplayer games are the things that are selling to players of multiplayer games. The single player gamer is essentially forgotten and blindly ignored. The last multiplayer computer game I played was Jackbox Party Pack (2, 3, 4).
Valve, you've become what you set out to beat. You're just another corporation out for money. You used to make amazing work that everyone looked up to. Now you sell half-assed reskins of guns and hats. Now that that's not making enough money, you saw a system even more lucrative; A card game. So you made your own version of Hearthstone. You clearly do not care about making games any more, you care about money. RIP Valve, I hope a new company gets started to show us all the magic you were once all about.
7 років тому+8
PorkyQuills hearthstone is just a rip-off and Casual version of Magic series, even Steam trading card, so shut the fuck up about "Artifact is Hearthstone rip-off" pls, that game even not come out yet. Valve they make 4 billions of dollar in 2016 and you think they don't making enough money ?
No. Corporations are all about making a profit. They made 4 billions? Then that means they are gonna aim to make more than that next. it's not about having "enough" of a profit, it's about having more, and card games are very, very lucrative.
If you want a studio that is really passionate about their games, look at Larian Studios. They are finishing up work on Divinity Original Sin 2, and you can see how much they adore it in every one of their update videos.
Upgrading Dog reminds me of how in HL:A you can upgrade your gun with resin you loot from the environment. Interesting, how different ideas evolve and migrate over time.
General Townes you mean a concerned about views and subscribers citzen, right? Because everyone knows that Hl3 is dead but he just doesn't want you to know because that would kill his channel.
Alexandrewvice There is always a chance, there is. They just need to think of something new and interesting to work on, but I'm still not having my hopes up for it.
Man I remember when I was really little, when I completed Hl:E2, I remember my dad telling me all I have to do is wait a few months for the next game, to see what happens. ;_; I really want to know how they rap up the story. It'll be interesting playing those maps. Also is it just me or does your mic sound a little different, are you recording some where else, or do you have a different mic. Anyways great work as always Tyler.
i'm positive i've read this comment months ago on another video. do you liek retelling the same story every time half life pops up or was that someone else? is this a meme?
About the mic problem you sense - he is probably having a cry, like every other HL hardcore fan. He is like, literally holding tears the entire video, especially at the end.
The ending of this video was masterfully told, mature, and perfect. I've grown to really appreciate your work, you constantly show professionalism and maturity, that I appreciate greatly on the internet. Thank you, VNN.
The Episodes were a mistake. After regular Half Life 2, the story would've been free to go anywhere, but with the following Episodes, they wrote themselves into a courner. I couldn't imagine any possible conclusion to the story from that point that wouldn't leave most fans dissatisfied.
I just feel empty inside. They just do shit like this, not telling anybody anything. It's like a drug addict trying to not bother anybody and just silently suffering. JUST TELL US WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING IN YOUR OFFICES JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
I actually can imagine that, at the end of Ep3 when Gordon is saved from Borealis explosion by Vortigaunts, Gordon would be teleported back in time to Black Mesa before all the events and will destroy crystal sample brought to Black Mesa by G-Man.
No comrade, I'm not doing this again, for me, what Laidlaw gave us was the closure, and I'm not going to be part of this anymore, Valve has dissapointed me for the last time.
EmojiGamer V The problem's not with Tyler or Half-Life, it lies in the system they're using for flagging videos, everything not reviewed is considered 'inappropriate' (as though anything isn't considered 'appropriate' for sharing on the Internet)
Posted by Kurt Yarish, reposted because it's easier to see for me. If you think about it, this letter being released was a tactical move, a genius level checkmate. Because it has pretty much done the one thing HL3 has needed for a decade: killed off the meme. The people who don't get that this letter isn't the end of HL, nor HL3 will cease spreading the HL3 memes,and with it the insane levels of hype associated with it. People for the most part no longer expect HL3 to happen,with only few reading between the lines and knowing what's really going on. And that's the kicker.
I actually made it a duty of mine that day, to inform as many people as I could through FB and Twitter that Episode 3 isn't the end of Half Life. And some stating that the letter detailed a plot to Half Life 3. THAT WASN'T HALF LIFE 3, it was Half Life 2: Episode 3, the final episodic game from Valve that books end the story that began in Half Life 2, but not the end of the whole series. Episode 3 occurs, Alyx gets taken away by the Gman, Gordon is rescued by the Vorts before the ship blows up, then Half Life 3 comes after that. Gosh, some people on the Internet are so blinded by memes it kinda triggers me.
If they can't even finish the conclusion to a bitesized episodic model that they left on a cliffhanger with everyone pestering them about it for ten years, I don't hold out much hope for them starting a whole new entry to the series tbh.
Alex Crick They're literally producing a VR project and a film with JJ Abrams as we speak and both projects have shown signs of actually being produced on a serious level instead of being on the back burner like Episode 3 was for years.
10:08 "For the love of god, not re-visiting the HL2 universe. We have closure now. Making something that changes that ending would be incredibly jarring now." *3 years later* You sure about that? :D
Assuming that HL3 DOES come, (which i highly doubt it will.) anything they port over would take ALOT of time, and by then everyone in the community will have given up on the game, thus having valve realize they're better off with steam, crates and skins...
If you think about it, this letter being released was a tactical move, a genius level checkmate. Because it has pretty much done the one thing HL3 has needed for a decade: killed off the meme.

People for the most part no longer expect HL3 to happen,with only few reading between the lines and knowing what's really going on. And that's the kicker. Finally, Valve will be free to make HL3 whatever they want it to be, without people's hyped up expectations getting in the way. So when it finally is announced, it will be met with surprise and elation, not dissatisfaction and criticism born from unrealistic expectations. The hype train has stopped in its tracks. What a perfect time for it to arrive at it's destination, no?
Kurt Yarish hahahahaha I don't think you understand my friend. People (including me) have been convinced that half life will come out in some way shape or form, bad or good,doesn't matter as valve probably still wants to make another half life game. Valve has let me down but with the "HLVR" leaks I'm not losing hope. The hype is alive, just in a weakened state. While I don't believe valve can make anymore great games due to many reasons, I do believe that they are planning on making another half life(related to the current canon or not )
Ummm dude, the team is no more, Marc Laidlaw left and he published his version of HL3. Half-Life is done. It will never become a thing, Valve has changed. Deal with it. Stop hoping already, it's been 10 years and now almost everyone who was associated with Half Life have left. It is done, as clear as that. They may make a VR Half-Life game, just because it's a big title and they made the VR. But not Half-Life 3. They simply can't make HL3 without Laidlaw. If they try, they'll risk it, and the fans won't be satisfied with the result. Plus Valve can just make skins for CS:GO and survive this way.
ohh aha i see why it was flagged you said nipples that definitely makes this video that someone put days of work into unmonetizable haha got em good thanks youtube
One of the most iconic features about Valve is that they hire and promote the best minds from its consumer base to create more products, sometimes incorporating them into their ranks. Consumers and Developers. The bridging of this constant divide is what separates Valve from the rest of other game companies. So what, I wonder, if Valve decided to go about creating Episode 3 or Half-Life 3 with community input into the story and gameplay? We have seen this been done before with Battlefield 4's community test maps, and you saw this experiment type (to some extent) with early access, so why not Valve set about creating the next Half-Life with some form of community input on how the game should form? Something like seeking out the most talented members of the community to help them craft the perfect Half-Life game? The community would want to help make a game that THEY would want to play right? What if... WE, as Valve developers and Valve fans, were to create Half-Life 3 TOGETHER? Now THAT, is an idea that Valve might try to pursue... Or maybe I'm just thinking weirdly?
If Valve wanted half-life 3 made, they'd have had half-life 3 made. They would have invited the people they deem worthy. They are like any other godlike entity, if you think they listen when you speak to them, you probably need a shrink. All communication, all initiative comes from Valve, it doesn't work the other way around. The only way half-life 3 is getting done is without Valve. And then they'll have to show their true colours and sue into oblivion, and it will be their end, and everyone will be free.
I know that, which is why I said that in the comment: "So what, I wonder, if Valve decided to go about creating *Episode 3 or Half-Life 3* with community input into the story and gameplay?"
I will never understand this, just make some levels and story using the same engine and release it. The game will be fun regardless. Sounds like they got a bad case of perfectionism and it was never good enough until everyone gave up and quit.
More like, everybody expects it to be the most godly, perfect game of all time that would exceed all expectations incomparably to any other game ever released, or ever will be released, meanwhile valve doesn't want to deliver anything because that's an impossible standard to meet. They don't even have to because they're in a perfectly fine spot. They set out with the goal to never be the game company that just mindlessly spews out games without innovation or reason, and they're certainly succeeding. They don't make it out of principal, not inability.
+Cody Sewell They set out the goal to not do that, but instead turned into something much worse by mindlessly spewing out skins and useless cosmetics without innovation or reason, and they're certainly succeeding at that front. Constantly releasing Call Of Duty is better then what Valve's doing right now with the constant release of skin after skin after skin for $500 each month instead of a $60 full video game each year.
+Nighterlev That's a tad bit of a different situation as those are the individual game's teams and not Valve as a company. It's the Counter Strike: Global Offensive development team in charge of that specific game. Not Valve as a whole. And beyond that, the team isn't making the skins, those skins are community made, AND community priced. The dev team just say "That's a cool AUG skin someone made and submitted", add that to the next crate's drop table, and then the community says "That's so cool I'm going to pay $500 for it.".
I was completely shocked when I found out that there are *WAY* more citadels in The Combine Overworld than just the one we see in Half-Life 2, and it’s episodes. If you don’t know what I mean, Mark Laidlaw sent a birthday letter or something to a Half-Life 2 UA-camr telling the cut story of Half-Life 3, saying that Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance adventure into The Combine Overworld, just to find out that there are countless citadels in it.

It's 29th of September, 2018 now. The number of casualties continues to rise. People who will forever wonder in the afterlife who was G-man
Half life 2 sucked ( ghasp ). Half life 3 will suck so it wont be made. Who even cares anymore. Its a long forgotten game thats crappy by current standards.
Grzegorz Durda half life 2 didn’t suck, especially by that times standards. Sure it may not be the best game but it is a great game and a game that would be as innovative as half life 2 was is unimaginable
Grzegorz Durda Half Life 3 is not forgotten and will never be forgotten, there are millions of people that care about the franchise, and Half Life 2 was an amazing game back in the day, the graphics and physics and realistic character faces, it was pure gold!
Half Life 3 is starting to feel like that girl that never called back :(

Hello FireFlame :P
I agree with you. Let the HL2 plot go and start fresh. Heck, bring back Shephard. That way they can totally disconnect from 2's plot.
Atleast finish up from that cliff hanger that was ep2, I would like to see an conclusion, it would set my mind to rest.

This is beyond sad, people have legitimately passed away with the idea that they'll be able to see the final chapter to this masterpiece. You know what's the scariest part about waiting? Not knowing if you are waiting for "something".
Passed away? really?
oh my god, you don't even know how i hate comments like: "ym, beloved half life fans have died since the last game was released". Of course they fucking did, for fuck sake, in that time when i was writing this comment, someone who played half life probably died, there's like over 7 billion of us, and people die every god damn second. Nothing unusual in people passing away while waiting for a game that will probably never be released... yeah but it is kind of sad, i'll give you that.
Exactly. People will always die. Even if HL3 or HL2:E2 was released a month after the previous game, people still would have died between that time frame. Don't make death of people a part of this, it just isn't fair. You're making it seem as if it's on Valve that these people have died without the chance to play the game after the last one, and to me that is really fucking inconsiderate. People will always die without experiencing something, it's life, and it sucks, but you can't help it and you shouldn't dwell on it.
Thing is Wally, Valve can help.

Gman is Gabe Newell confirmed. Both are shady business men who seem good in the beginning but are secretly the bad guys all along.
MASF Reload
Gman is freeman
G-Man is classical ambivalent trickster. He is not good and not bad, he acts beyond good and evil, outside of conventional morality.
Check out video of TheGameTheory he sad all ;)
I think if anything, Marc Laidlaw's work points out that Gman was actually the good guy. Yeah, he brought the combine to earth and made sure the war happened, but if he never did that then the combine would have just continued to build a massive empire of enslavement because the human resistance had what they needed to defeat the combine: the Borealis. So he seemed to make odd decisions, but this is the total logical conclusion.
As to who he is and what he can do, I still haven't the slightest. The idea that he actually works with the government makes sense, as he appears human and has access to the information the scientists uncovered, even seen talking to them and riding trams in Black Mesa in the beginning. But we can't say for certain.
Also G is the first letter in the name

It wasn't in response to artifact, but more in response to the 21st anniversary of Valve.

As depressing as the whole mess is, I am still a fan of Dota and I love its lore, and the card game sounds pretty good. But it was really fucking stupid of Valve to announce it as their first game is fucking YEARS, it reeks of greed

Do you now?
You gotta go through the loading zone first
The pure fucking passion and research that goes into these videos is why I come to your channel to refresh daily. You do a fantastic job. Unprecedented commentary. Thank you.
This channel generates content out of nothing for views. The entire channel is the definition of clickbait. By the sounds of it the creator doesn't even like DotA 2 or CS:GO. How can you be the Valve News Network and not be a fan of and support their two largest industry presences?
Imbalanxd maybe I have bias towards Portal and Halflife in particular, but I believe he does cover news regarding those (Dota 2, C.S-G.O.) pretty decently.
Imbalanxd if you watch his channel he actually covers Csgo and tf2 very extensively, with a few half life and portal videos every once in a while. As for Dota, he's said he's not a Moba guy
If only Valve cared appreciated such passion for its company anymore...
And if Valve even dares to try and take Laidlaw to court, believe me, they should _prepare for unforeseen consequences_
I bought a Valve Complete Pack on Steam which did not include DOTA or CSGO Once. I love Valve and i don't care about dota tbh. You're not measuring people's passionscorrectly my friend.
L4D. Half-Life. Portal. TF2.
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Valve Nation attacked.
Only Gabe, master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
A hundred years passed and The Community and I discovered the new Hero, an Scientist named Freeman, and although his Crowbar skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.
But I believe Gordon Freeman can save the world.

I agree with everything else-But saying "Don't finish the story of the Resistance against Combine Occupation because the former writer released a 5 paragraph, self described fanfic". I know that at this point the story feels like it has closure, but it...doesn't.
Can you imagine 50 years in the future, looking back on this franchise and its universe and saying "What's the connective tissue between Half Life 2 and Half Life 3? Why did the story in Half Life 2 never end?" and getting the response "Well, because the writer made a blog post that had a very basic story outline for it and that was conclusive enough for everyone."
i mean... thats what the megaman franchise did, sorta
If you think that's bad you don't even want to know what happened to Final Fantasy X.
"Can you imagine 50 years in the future, looking back on this franchise

Life 2 and Half Life 3? Why did the story in Half Life 2 never end?""
No. Because 50 years later there is STILL no Half Life 3.
Cecil Palmer How is it fanfic when it is the original writer?
Cecil Palmer I honestly hate that ending, mainly because it's my worst fear in life - to be cut off from all the people I know, but also because I love all the characters, especially Alyx, and wouldn't exactly like just an abrupt cut-off because gee mans took her and combine apparently are invincible and the vortigaunts never even knew.

In 2018 we will reach the year where halfway between the creation of Valve and the current time will be the release of HL2 Ep2. After that it will have been longer since the release of EP2 than it has been between the creation of Valve and the release of every HL games. If we applied that same timeline to Nintendo with Mario we would end up with Super Smash Bros Melee as their last game.

+DrivanRadosivic
no.
GabeN coming out during a conference, and saying: "Hey everyone, that thing you all wanted? Half Life 3? We're making it into a CSGO skin!"
I know how they can avoid Half life 2.
Bring back ADRIAN SHEPARD.
He could work so fucking well.
A game from the perspective of a Combine soldier/CP member would actually be quite interesting.
Hey, thats pretty good.
Even if Gearbox agreed to it, I doubt OF2 would be any good, considering today Gearbox is composed of untalented hacks now.
They could just put Adrian in a different city and time zone (before Freeman shows up), and do something similar to Reinstated.
They could make him a CP. Maybe he wakes up after Alyx kicks his ass and something in his head is damaged, and he runs through the game knowing nothing other than to chase Freeman.
Instead of placing Shephard's into the typical boring bad guy role, let's try this:
What if G-Man releasing Gordon Freeman from stasis in HL2 timeline was merely a distraction for everyone?
What if G-Man purposely released Gordon for the world & Combines to focus on him, while at the same time sends unknown people like Shephard at the backyard to destroy the Combines from within?
What if it wasn't Barney, Gordon, Alyx, or Eli started the uprising in C17, but it was commanded by Shephard?
What if Shephard was behind the ones disabling the Suppression Field, thus allowing humans to have children again?
Most important question is, what if Adrian Shephard was already released from stasis long ago, but we just didn't know it?
Once upon a time Valve cared about their games
James Robsonza and then they didn't the end
They still do it's just that they realise singleplayer games are the past.
WHAT??!!?!!?!?1!111
"Single player games are the past."
Interesting. That's only what I play now. Fallout4, Skyrim, Reran through HL1, HL2, and all available episodes this past Dec. Portal 1 & 2 ... And while Civ 5 is capable of multiplayer, I only play single player. Roller-Coaster Tycoon. Minecraft (while capable of multiplayer, I've never tried).
And, yes, while I am just a single point of data, my point is important... particularly if Valve is going with the "money drives creativity" angle. Because they don't get monetization from single player games when their hats in multiplayer games are the things that are selling to players of multiplayer games. The single player gamer is essentially forgotten and blindly ignored.
The last multiplayer computer game I played was Jackbox Party Pack (2, 3, 4).
Right? Single players are the best. the only multiplayer game I play is CSGO.
"and the map itself is made playable by the talented tyler mcvicker" that's you, isn't it? funny way to talk about yourself
I thought so too lol ;p Its pretty weird...
When you prefix all your friends' names with 'the talented' it becomes redundant.

Valve, you've become what you set out to beat. You're just another corporation out for money. You used to make amazing work that everyone looked up to. Now you sell half-assed reskins of guns and hats. Now that that's not making enough money, you saw a system even more lucrative; A card game. So you made your own version of Hearthstone. You clearly do not care about making games any more, you care about money. RIP Valve, I hope a new company gets started to show us all the magic you were once all about.
PorkyQuills hearthstone is just a rip-off and Casual version of Magic series, even Steam trading card, so shut the fuck up about "Artifact is Hearthstone rip-off" pls, that game even not come out yet. Valve they make 4 billions of dollar in 2016 and you think they don't making enough money ?
No. Corporations are all about making a profit. They made 4 billions? Then that means they are gonna aim to make more than that next. it's not about having "enough" of a profit, it's about having more, and card games are very, very lucrative.
they will be replaced eventually
If you want a studio that is really passionate about their games, look at Larian Studios. They are finishing up work on Divinity Original Sin 2, and you can see how much they adore it in every one of their update videos.
eeyup Valve is already making billions just sitting on their asses letting Steam soak up money.

"We are reading an A R T I F A C T from that past"
TRIGGERED
Based off The Final Hours of Half Life Alyx, these maps really were Half Life 3 prototypes
I actually made it a duty of mine that day, to inform as many people as I could through FB and Twitter that Episode 3 isn't the end of Half Life. And some stating that the letter detailed a plot to Half Life 3. THAT WASN'T HALF LIFE 3, it was Half Life 2: Episode 3, the final episodic game from Valve that books end the story that began in Half Life 2, but not the end of the whole series. Episode 3 occurs, Alyx gets taken away by the Gman, Gordon is rescued by the Vorts before the ship blows up, then Half Life 3 comes after that. Gosh, some people on the Internet are so blinded by memes it kinda triggers me.
12undeadz The writer of the HL2 series even stated that the script was intended to close HL2 before moving into HL3.
good for u
If they can't even finish the conclusion to a bitesized episodic model that they left on a cliffhanger with everyone pestering them about it for ten years, I don't hold out much hope for them starting a whole new entry to the series tbh.
All I know is - Ep. 3 was supposed to be the end of Gordon's story. Not Half-Life story
Alex Crick They're literally producing a VR project and a film with JJ Abrams as we speak and both projects have shown signs of actually being produced on a serious level instead of being on the back burner like Episode 3 was for years.
"and the map itself was made playable by the talented Tyler McVicker"
Self worth. I respect that.
I think it got flagged because it has "Leak" in the title.
We need to get Adrian Shepherd that needs to be Half-Life 3.
Adrian Shephard will never be in a new Half-life game. Gearbox made the expansions and the story. Valve doesnt really considers them canon

Half Life: Gordon confirmed
our last hope is that half life 2 episode 3 (or half life 3) is coming when source 2 will come
Darby Crash 2 years ago
it is not out for public. but if it will be, then I will pay for math lesson for whole valve to learn how to count to 3
Assuming that HL3 DOES come, (which i highly doubt it will.) anything they port over would take ALOT of time, and by then everyone in the community will have given up on the game, thus having valve realize they're better off with steam, crates and skins...
Source 2 has been out for a long while now.
Anybody who still has any hope for Half-Life is honestly wasting their life at this point.
Dota has been on source 2 for 2 years now, and some of the vr demos you can access are done on source 2.
If you think about it, this letter being released was a tactical move, a genius level checkmate. Because it has pretty much done the one thing HL3 has needed for a decade: killed off the meme. The people who don't get that this letter isn't the end of HL, nor HL3 will cease spreading the HL3 memes,and with it the insane levels of hype associated with it. People for the most part no longer expect HL3 to happen,with only few reading between the lines and knowing what's really going on. And that's the kicker. Finally, Valve will be free to make HL3 whatever they want it to be, without people's hyped up expectations getting in the way. So when it finally is announced, it will be met with surprise and elation, not dissatisfaction and criticism born from unrealistic expectations.
The hype train has stopped in its tracks. What a perfect time for it to arrive at it's destination, no?
Kurt Yarish agreed
Thats what I was thinking
Kurt Yarish hahahahaha I don't think you understand my friend. People (including me) have been convinced that half life will come out in some way shape or form, bad or good,doesn't matter as valve probably still wants to make another half life game. Valve has let me down but with the "HLVR" leaks I'm not losing hope. The hype is alive, just in a weakened state. While I don't believe valve can make anymore great games due to many reasons, I do believe that they are planning on making another half life(related to the current canon or not )
Bruh if they do release hl3 rip steam download servers.
Ummm dude, the team is no more, Marc Laidlaw left and he published his version of HL3.
Half-Life is done.
It will never become a thing, Valve has changed. Deal with it. Stop hoping already, it's been 10 years and now almost everyone who was associated with Half Life have left. It is done, as clear as that.
They may make a VR Half-Life game, just because it's a big title and they made the VR. But not Half-Life 3.
They simply can't make HL3 without Laidlaw. If they try, they'll risk it, and the fans won't be satisfied with the result. Plus Valve can just make skins for CS:GO and survive this way.
hey where are those 3 other videos?
ohh aha i see why it was flagged you said nipples that definitely makes this video that someone put days of work into unmonetizable haha got em good thanks youtube
Because it's not like everybody on the fucking planet has them.
So many people die.....
Without playing half life 3
Did you die?
Troll Face not yet.
Redd Kraken So you had the privilege of seeing half life alyxx?
Troll Face yeah
Redd Kraken Did you like it?
Haha! That final thank you caught me off guard as the usernames got crazier. Good video dude!
Hallucination? That was meant to be used with the Borealis perhaps??
It was supposed to blink back and forth from Aperture to the Antarctic
Well.......
Half life 4 confirmed bois!!!
Gay Bartender I
Gay Bartender 😝😝
Well, technically, still 3. Remember, HL2:Ep3≠HL3.
Gordon became a gay bartender?
Just wait 4 it.
Glad you got your video back up!
I am done, i am FUCKING DONE. Valve have dicked me one too many times, THIS ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP IS OVER.
krycklund gonna keep buying games on Steam though, right? ;)
One of the most iconic features about Valve is that they hire and promote the best minds from its consumer base to create more products, sometimes incorporating them into their ranks.
Consumers and Developers.
The bridging of this constant divide is what separates Valve from the rest of other game companies.
So what, I wonder, if Valve decided to go about creating Episode 3 or Half-Life 3 with community input into the story and gameplay?
We have seen this been done before with Battlefield 4's community test maps, and you saw this experiment type (to some extent) with early access, so why not Valve set about creating the next Half-Life with some form of community input on how the game should form?
Something like seeking out the most talented members of the community to help them craft the perfect Half-Life game?
The community would want to help make a game that THEY would want to play right?
What if... WE, as Valve developers and Valve fans, were to create Half-Life 3 TOGETHER?
Now THAT, is an idea that Valve might try to pursue...
Or maybe I'm just thinking weirdly?
If Valve wanted half-life 3 made, they'd have had half-life 3 made. They would have invited the people they deem worthy. They are like any other godlike entity, if you think they listen when you speak to them, you probably need a shrink. All communication, all initiative comes from Valve, it doesn't work the other way around.
The only way half-life 3 is getting done is without Valve. And then they'll have to show their true colours and sue into oblivion, and it will be their end, and everyone will be free.
Valve is making Half life 3
The community is making half life 2: Episode 3
as tyler said in the video Episode 3 /=/ Half life 3
I know that, which is why I said that in the comment:
"So what, I wonder, if Valve decided to go about creating *Episode 3 or Half-Life 3* with community input into the story and gameplay?"
11:33 _"Thank you for writing, Concerned."_
Nah, I don't believe it. Half Life 3 is never coming out. Half Life VR will just be some gimmicky bullshit.
sure you are anon
Name the only thing you're on is drugs lmao
Half Life 3 will come out. Just when Valve grows balls, it could be 20-30 years.
In that time, Gabe will probably die, then we'll never see it definitely...
Half life VR is steam greenlight. doesn't that mean its by the community and not valve?
I will never understand this, just make some levels and story using the same engine and release it. The game will be fun regardless. Sounds like they got a bad case of perfectionism and it was never good enough until everyone gave up and quit.
More like, everybody expects it to be the most godly, perfect game of all time that would exceed all expectations incomparably to any other game ever released, or ever will be released, meanwhile valve doesn't want to deliver anything because that's an impossible standard to meet. They don't even have to because they're in a perfectly fine spot. They set out with the goal to never be the game company that just mindlessly spews out games without innovation or reason, and they're certainly succeeding. They don't make it out of principal, not inability.
Crow Migration a huge thumbs up for you man

They set out the goal to not do that, but instead turned into something much worse by mindlessly spewing out skins and useless cosmetics without innovation or reason, and they're certainly succeeding at that front.
Constantly releasing Call Of Duty is better then what Valve's doing right now with the constant release of skin after skin after skin for $500 each month instead of a $60 full video game each year.
+Nighterlev
That's a tad bit of a different situation as those are the individual game's teams and not Valve as a company. It's the Counter Strike: Global Offensive development team in charge of that specific game. Not Valve as a whole. And beyond that, the team isn't making the skins, those skins are community made, AND community priced. The dev team just say "That's a cool AUG skin someone made and submitted", add that to the next crate's drop table, and then the community says "That's so cool I'm going to pay $500 for it.".
Valve carnt count to 3
Hmm this looks interesting, can't wait to see what more arises. Awesome job VNN!
Sheath Entertainment™ I liked your scam very much
Can mades
Why do you not make more?
I think VR is still in it's very early stages. It still needs work and Valve's been trying to find out how to make it work.
"Follow money to make money"
Holy shit never got to notifications this fast, for real
I was completely shocked when I found out that there are *WAY* more citadels in The Combine Overworld than just the one we see in Half-Life 2, and it’s episodes. If you don’t know what I mean, Mark Laidlaw sent a birthday letter or something to a Half-Life 2 UA-camr telling the cut story of Half-Life 3, saying that Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance adventure into The Combine Overworld, just to find out that there are countless citadels in it.
I finished early to watch this
I hope its not what I think you mean
ItsAndr He came.
w- work?
I came back from playing Half-Life 2 (just to really get the depression going) to watch this
i heard of this and just said to my job FUCK you i have better things to do
