+1 to Gabe for actually going out to talk to them :thumbsup:

 

[Beev]

So what did Gabe have to say?

 

[Xcobra]

LOL seriously, I agree though.

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

Like really, we would like to know something.:thumbsup:

 

[Bateluer]

Two unemployed yuppies sitting on their lawn with cardboard signs does not count as 'mounting pressure'.

HL2 would have to be good for me to want a sequel.

Get. Out.

 

[Maleficus]

I find it hard to believe anyone actually cares, HL1 was ground breaking and a lot of fun, HL2 was mediocre AT BEST.

Still just seems like an internet fad, bug valve about HL3/ep3 while no one really cares.

Trolling, both of you.

Gabe is a cool guy going outside and talking to them.

What is with the HL2 here? It was a great game.

Something about a cheeseburger and a box of donuts.

They are just trolls.

Troll stratagy outlined:

1. Go into thread where the majority of opinions are positive.
2. Post negative opinion
3. ????
4. Profit.

 

[conorvansmack]

Good to see that someone is stirring the pot. Gabe looks bigger. Like bigger than a smartcar.

 

[ImpulsE69]

To be honest, I loved HL1, played HL2, and I never did finish it....but I did play EP1 and 2, and I thought EP 2 was pretty damn good, and the cliffhanger they left it on really does make one want HL3. Just sayin.

So I'm not allowed to have an opinion unless it satisfies the majority?

Okay Comrade.

I understand why some people don't like HL2, because I used to be that person.

I eventually forced myself through HL2 and its episodes, and it's now on my top ten of favorite games. The game isn't without flaws, of course. But for a game from 2004, it holds up pretty well.

*heavy, labored breathing as he approaches*

"Get...*wheeze*...off my lawn!"

*heavy, labored breathing as he heads back inside*

"Not...*wheeze*...the pizza guy."

*Falls into receptionist chair. Receptionist screams and the sound of splintering bones can be heard*

"We...*wheeze*...need a new receptionist."

Doug Lombardi: "What, that's the 3rd one this financial quarter."

The End

problem is SP games are not even little fun in 2011. all fun is in MP, and that's not HL3 territory. I can see why they are not in hurry.

Not sure if you're being serious, but in case you are, I think you're just playing the wrong games. There are good single-player games being made, there always has been, always will be.

Speak for yourself. I play SP much much more than MP and I have plenty of fun otherwise I wouldn't be doing it to start with.

Why does the lawn look like a grass texture from Medal of Honor?

And who's the big guy on the right? Looks like a mechanic...

No. Just No.

The pressure is Gabe Newell walking outside and reducing the volume of the atmosphere.

This is a good reason.

Granted half life 2 was fun but the money tends to be in multiplayer now and using the funds for a single player game when it's not worth it compared to others can be a issue.

I vote they make half life 3 a mmo...
