brandonsharklow (2 hours ago) [-] I love games. but i never really thought i'd be into HL. What is the weapons like? can you create guns like Dead Space?

sirfortytwo [OP](1 hour ago) [-] Guns are good, each with their on kick.
No upgrades, you collect a variety of guns, hand guns, machine guns, missile launchers, grenades, a gravity gun and a crowbar.
Even if your computer is a potato, you'll be able to play it
First game came out in 1998, and the sequel in 2004
This **** is old school fun.

gun creation/customization really only became a thing like 10 years after halflife came out, so no. there are a few creative and fun guns, though, but its a typical shooter for it's day.

meringueluka (12 hours ago) [-] meh i gave up waiting for half life long ago. it's clear valve don't make games anymore but software. plus the half life series has always been about showing of new tech.

meringueluka (12 hours ago) [-] eh maybe, but the tech behind the half life game has been integrated into the way you play. physics (all those ******* sew saw (puzzles), AI (alyx) VR feels more like a sublment to a game, not something to create your core mechanic around.

It's not necessarily just a new viewing device with a few cool features. What I've heard from people involved with VR indicates that it does really change the way you have to design games. For example, a writer and game dev working on VR recently, tweeted this: "Watching people trying to force GTA V into VR is scary - I'd be puking! Retrofitting games not made for VR tends to end poorly." Another example would be some things Gabe says in an interview from a while back. Listen to about 25:40-32:30 here

Silver Quantum ONLINE (6 minutes ago) [-] story has been done since years ago anyway. half life 3 isn't dead. they're just extremely hush about it. there was an interview last year in january with gaben where he said something like "you can ask me anything concerning valve, but half life". why would he be so secretive about half life if they weren't going to release the game? they are either waiting for source 2 engine to be done this year so they can release the game with it, or they will release the game later. gaben knows how large the half life fan base is. he wouldn't keep our hopes up for so many years if the game weren't in production. he would just say the game is cancelled and that way the "half life 3 confirmed" meme that he despises so much would finally die.

It seems like he's taking the freelance route to go into a more calmer setting. He might even do freelance writing for Valve, he just doesn't want to be under the constraints as a full-on company man (though Valve is supposed to have one of the most lenient self-management set-ups of any company).

Funhaus on youtube already solved why Half Life 3 will never be released by Valve.
The "half life 3 confirmed" meme did a big part in setting that in stone, too, so good job guys

thechosentroll (6 hours ago) [-] It wasn't gonna happen anyway. No game can live up to decades of anticipation. If they actually made it, most people would think it's a prank and those who played it would be disappointed.
