Gabe Newell Acknowledges Frustrations With Half-Life 3

[Porygon-2000]

Oh, contrair, man with (possibly) no hair! It all depends on what school system you follow. For instance, in NSW, high school does in fact start at 13.

Assume NSW has the same rules about what the cut off date is for admittance, they would have had to be born before august 98 to be 13 and in highschool, and thus they still would have been born when the game came out.

The claim has to wait a year before it's true.

They don't. In Australia, the school year starts in January. Ergo, there are 14-year-olds in high school, right now (well, not right now, it's Saturday). My brother is one of them.

Boom. Australian-Logic-Shot.

MW3? I could just watch transformers and get the same intellectual stimulation

Ah, I guess you don't like shooters. Clearly you are an intellectual. I presume that you will show this level of brilliance and lack of brutality in the mature way you present your arguments henceforth, and that you will indeed refrain from insul...

EA sports (insert name here), are you retarded?.....

I stand corrected. Well, it appears you don't like sports games either. And apparently those of us who do are retarded. You're not shaping up to be a closed minded gamer at all.

Skyrim and Minecraft are only worth getting once all the dlc and bugs are out?

You would like Minecraft you intellectual hipster, you.

Rock Bands/ Guitar Hero's... Do you piss mountain dew? Just asking

You really need to get laid . It'll take a lot of this unwarranted edge off.

But seriously, I love your arguments. It's just straight up "I DON'T LIKE IT CUZ ITS BAD AND IM TOO IGNORANT TO EVEN TRY TO ACCEPT NEW THINGS!"

Good stuff... good stuff.

L.A. Noire, I will not get this until the developers are reinstated under a fair contract

I respect this. If you weren't being a dick for no reason I'd say I respect you.

Sonic Generations????.sonic, nuff said

As someone who has been playing games since the beginnings of Sonic, I have to say that if you like old school Sonic, you should try Generations. If you don't like old school Sonic, then you suck.

Well I guess Batman AC is a possibility but online pass for cat woman?

The game is still good without her.

Red Dead Redemption, Old Bethesda games, OK granted I LOVED these games but again beaten
Bioshock infinite looks promising though, and I buy every humble indie bundle. So I am not too cynical if I give untested developers a chance.

I still think you are too cynical. Cynics are those people who don't give something a fair chance because of their preconceptions and insane expectations. The most cynical person in the world could buy every indie game ever, and he would just come to the conclusion that they all suck.

Let's be honest, the humble indie bundle isn't always the cream of the crop as far as games go... However, I feel like you are the type of gamer that would pass up something mainstream because it makes you feel superior. (Don't worry, a good 90% of the Escapist are gaming hipsters.) I can tell it makes you feel superior because of the ridiculously unnecessarily abrasive terminology you use the second those games come up.

tl;dr - You should play Bastion if you haven't yet. I feel like it's so non-mainstream that you might actually give it a chance.

I like halo for the story and art, I know that makes me a hypocrite but?. I keep off the multiplayer and only in firefight?? plus bioshock and deus ex?.

Plus considering that in COD you do not have to aim to get kill and all your kills are arabs, I feel better about my halo fetish. In short I like GOOD shooters that have some originality, and do not make me feel bad at shooting the father of three.
I liked bastion.. And I will admit liked guitar hero number 3, all the rest are to cash grabby though, And all the good songs are dlc.
No catwoman? No me simple plus it is just rude to hold a component of the game printed on the disk hostage. What if you live in an area where xbox live is to laggy like in the southern most pint of Australia? Then you are screwed.

TomLikesGuitar, I feel someone may have hit a nerve with how adamantly you pick apart James' message(s).

I myself see nothing remotely interesting about the Battlefield or Call of Duty/Modern Warefare games. It's less to do with being intellectual and more to do with my not liking twitch-shooters, lackluster single-player campaigns, and games that focus on multiplayer above single-player.. especially when the SP feels more like an afterthought. Gears of War, while interesting, is so hard to make out any of the action cause of the colour-schemes of rust, dirt, grey, and blood.

IE, just cause I don't like your game doesn't mean you need to list a buncha reasons why I'm wrong. Especially if I prefer singleplayer to multiplayer.


Anyways, I do actually have lots of games to play while I wait, which is one of the reasons I rarely say anything about HL3. Ironically, most of them are games older than the Xbox, or even HL2. I really need to go through my backlog..

I don't care how much longer it takes as long as it's good, and given Valve's past games we can trust them. And has Half Life 2: Episode 3 been abandoned? It seems he's only referring to HL3.
