Unpopular Opinions v5

This, honestly

The way they've been keeping fans in the dark about Half-Life 3/Episode 3 for 10 loving years is stuffty.  Like, Valve fans were/are some of the most loyal fans out there and they just completely left them hanging without any indication of where the series is and where it's going.  When Episode 2 first came out, Gabe kept talking about Episode 3 like it was going to happen (e.g. "When Episode 3 comes out...") and then slowly over the years stopped talking about it until now he just refuses to answer any questions about it.  It's loving rude.

On top of that, people who were key to the Half-Life series have been leaving Valve so now it kind of seems like Half-Life 3/Episode 3 is dead in the water.

They've been keeping people in the dark because the game is not being made and probably never will be.

im talking about the movie

thank forget i was about to nuke the forget out of australia

valve realizes that its autistic fanbase managed to delude themselves into thinking HL2 is the best game ever made, so there's literally no way they can live up to their expectations.

[Trogtor]

valve has this policy where people can switch between different project's whenever they feel like. after episode two people were all over the place for upcoming games (portal, team fortress, left 4 dead) and gabe took a huge turn around 2010 with the media when asked about episode 3. earlier he'd tell them 'yeah it's happening but we can't release any information' straight to 'i have no info to tell about it.' surprisingly enough it's still being worked on but it's in terrible shape and may have a group of only ten people working on it. so basically it's not going anywhere anytime soon

to add to that, when mass effect 3 came out, fans were really pissed how it turned out and people made death threats and did all sorts of stuff. valve saw that and that made them even more hesitant to releasing the game.

Bad Rats is actually a good game.

Yeah it's honestly not bad, it's an ok puzzle game that's pretty funny (see: cat deaths and bomber rat)

[Trogtor]

How do you know this?

i can't remember where but some news outlet was able to get a tad info from some valve employees personally

[IkeTheGeneric]

How do you know this?

A few articles from a few credible news outlets touched base with valve employees and figured out that there's just no drive to make HL3, mostly between more interest in the VR department and non-gaming software (and hardware)

[beachbum111111]

Kinda busy so I can't explain it now but I think valve forgeted themselves over by making episodic content and never finishing the story arc. It makes making a third game a problem. I'll probably explain in detail when I get home

Banjo Kazooie actually sucks.

i dunno i was kinda talking about the state of tf2 and csgo

csgo is unbalanced and seems to be intentionally trying to forget over people who live in the EU that speak english, the new operation has about half the content of the last one, the coop tasks are bullstuff and should just be a wave survival mode, they made 3 new gamemodes but only made 1 playable at a time for some reason, game updates are dead most of the time

tf2 is unbalanced but at least has some fun factor, the whole new matchmaking system has a bunch of flaws, nobody seems to talk about how the ranks in competitive don't matter at all, pyro still exists, updates are a myth at this point

They said the next update to tf2 will be the biggest one yet

Don't forget how the people who work on TF2 keep nerfing weapons that need buffs for no good reason at all.
