I maintain that I want the next released Half-Life game to be Half-Life 4, with the entirety of the campaign making references to things that would have occurred in HL3. No explanation, no context, just a sudden new area, all new weapons, and Gordon Freeman learning to connect with the poet inside of him.
Seriously though, pushing for a product's release before the devs feel it's ready rarely makes people happy. See Duke Nukem Forever, Rage, and even Battlefield 4. This kickstarter seems like a fast way to waste 150k, albeit in an amusing way.

I don't understand these people. Do they really still care about this series or is this a meme ("Half-Life 3 will be released soon" along the lines of "Duke Nukem Forever will never be finished") gone rogue? I'm not trying to be "edgy" or anything, so don't even bother bringing it up, but I've stopped caring about Half-Life relatively shortly after finishing the second game. The first one was good, but has aged terribly. The second one was competent, had some nice ideas and was graphically quite good for its time. But the story was weak at best and the second one was a complete non-sequitur from the first. Neither games were that enthralling that I need to know what happens next. At least the first one had some mystery about the alien world going, but the second was a very standard alien invasion/human resistance story. Why do people care so much about it?
Well, if people want to spend their money on this, they're free to do so.
But, the only idea they have that doesn't sound like creepy stalker stuff is the $150k goal. Hijacking the ads on every valve employees search results? Having impersonators and trucks camping outside the corporate offices? I just don't see end well.

How stupid,are they trying to bribe Valve? Dont they realise game development cost millions? lol. If Valve wanted to make HL3, they would have made it by now. Personally i would prefer Portal 3.
I don't think Gabe cares either way.epicdwarf said:
The existence or non-existence of HL3/Ep3 is not dependent on people bugging them.
You know I think performers when out and about should be respectful and say hello and sign some autographs fans may have, but they still have the right of say having a meal without fans bugging them constantly.
This is even worse than that, no one likes crazy pushy fans.

That and there's infinitely more money in a marketplace rife with broken, unplayable, and unfinished games.Elijin said:
Not only that but its not like there aren't any good games out there or that no game has since come close to the bright shining majesty that is HL2. Its just a bunch of people that want to feel the same wonder they felt at like 12 playing HL2.Kaymish said:
"Hey! Hey!" *poke, poke, poke*
"Hey! Lissen!"
"Hey! Hello?"
That's what I imagine Gabe feels like when every single fan complains about HL3. He's also said that continuing the story right now would not be nearly as revolutionary on the current market..

I like the idea that people are gonna get together and celebrate their love for Half-Life.
Basically all this is gonna amount to, but we do love the goddamn game.

"Hey guys! We should spend 150 000 dollars to prove something that everybody already knows!"
Worst fundraiser idea I've seen in the past 3 days and that's really saying something.

Valve has admitted they haven't even started development of the game. So if they started TODAY, and it takes 3 years: 2017. But Valve always has a setback and misses the release date: 2019. If we hear about the game before 2017, or it's released before 2019, I'd be amazed. I've really just come to acceptance that we're not going to see HL3 anytime soon.
but.. but... Half life wasn't really that good imo. I think many people are jumping on the band wagon... just cos
