"Half Life Episode 3" or "Goddammit, Valve"
So hey, Portal 2! ...Where's my Half Life Episode 3? Didn't you leave it on the rocket launched, big alien bug stealing Eli's brain and leaving him for dead and the rest of the crew (including the players) what was going to happen next?
It's been four years! Are we in for a new Duke Nukem Forever? |

Is it really episode 3 at this point? Is it not just gona be a full blown Half-Life 3?
On a related note, I just bought Portal 2. What a fantastic game! Now I just need to find somebody to play co-op with.

HL2 was great, but I stopped caring during the final segment of Episode 2 which took everything I liked about Half Life and did it wrong. So I never finished it. Why should I care about Episode 3 now?

I want Valve to call the next Half-Life game Half-Life 4. It'd be a pretty great bit of self-awareness in some respects.

The secret is that they released Half Life 3 two years ago. They just hid it and nobody has found it yet.

Half Life 3 was playable in its entirety via a hidden arcade machine found in Duke Nukem Forever. That was part of the reason the load times were so long. Unfortunately no one cares enough about DNF to look for it.

So, I'm the only one who thought that attaching bombs to those giant walker things by using the Gimmick Gun* then having to shoot these bombs was annoying as hell? Oh, and if you screw up you just might have to go pretty far to get a new bomb. Ah, the fun I had not giving a damn to see how it ended after a while. I just had no motivation to try winning this part after failing a few times. Normally I don't give up that fast. I had less trouble taking them down with a rocket launcher in the main game. And those fragile looking fuckers take tons of rockets before they go down. I bet I wouldn't have minded so much If I had at least enough rockets, or something so I'd have an alternative in case I screw up and lose the bomb. I mean, it's really commendable to try and mix things up, especially with such long games. But this particular thing just didn't do anything for me. *Yes, I know the Gravity gun actually originates from Half Life, but I always call it Gimmick Gun. Just saying that before someone feels the need to point it out.
