So, they've been putting out one game a year, but the gaps between games is larger. Do any good hallucinogens lately?

Well, that is in a technical sense. Expansions for HL1, re-releasing in Source, mods becoming Valve games, etc. But if you just go HL1 -> HL2 -> EP1 -> EP2, thats where the appears to be big gaps between games.

EP1 and 2 were not big games. They were 4 hour expansions to HL2, which were supposed to take <1 year to release

What's a Half Life?

For real though. It's been so damn long since they released the episodic content that I don't really even remember the story...

This.

It has become another DNF for me, and even when it's released I'll just wait until it's dirt cheap in a steam sale. I won't be buying it at release like I have the previous versions. They made us wait this long, I can wait another 6-12 months after original release date for a sale.

I'm 100% pre-ordering if it comes out. Maybe they'll try to drag it out for 5-6 years like starcraft II.

When the first half life came out, I was gaming in high school. I'm almost 30 now and have children. They missed the boat to finish the story with me. Maybe my kid will play the next half life, who knows.

Oops, I meant "big gaps between games". But they were a major release from Valve all the same.
