It's amazing that the fanbase tolerates it. But as long as they do...Go Gabe, go!ravenshrike said:

that was the 1# thing I was worried about, sure I like portal just as much as the next person..but this was alot of money (espeically at the time) and I wont spend that much on a short game, the first portal was not a stand alone product
and I didnt give two fucks about co-op I never played it,
now granted there were probably factors at play A. I sucked at the puzzles...and B.I tended to draw out my game playing
but overall I was not dissapointed..I was blown away, as i said before I didnt at all feel it was too short, and the scale of the game felt great..they took an "indie" game and made it AAA
I dont know how long it took me (8-10 hours?) and Id be curious to see how I might see it if I played again
but yeah..a 6 hour campgn is not forgivable..and I wouldnt even give Valve a free pass for that shit
Valve is the greatest conglomeration of trolls ever simply because they can get away with it, all thanks to their fanbase.
Now that we all assume that it's more trolling, Half Life 3 is practically guaranteed to be released sometime soon. In other words, Valve's ultimate goal is to troll as hard as hum- company-aly possible.
People keep making this phoney half-life 3 add with the wrong logo. The Half-Life logo is a lambda in a circle. Half Life 2 added a superscript 2 outside of the circle. So if there really was a half-life 3 announcement they wouldn't switch the logo around just to put a giant 3 in the middle as if to say "LOOK LOOK IT'S THE NUMBER 3 THIS CAN ONLY MEAN SOMETHING BIG PEOPLE!!!!". It would remain elegantly understated as usual. Dark grey background, orange lambda with superscript 3.
At least, I hope so. If they really did make the Half-Life 3 logo a gigantic 3 just to play to people's reactions I would take that as a warning about the quality of the work.

Not necessarily. One of the cool things about the Source engine used for HL2 was that it was possibly the most scalable engine on the market at the time, able to run on a card that could only do DX 7 or one that could do the (at the time top-of-the-line) tricks of DX 9. It would actually surprise me if it couldn't run on slightly older rigs, especially if it came out before the next console generation hit the shelves.Vault101 said:
As a community we have the worst case of beaten-wife syndrome ever. No other group of fans would take this for so long. Well, except perhaps for CoD fans.MercurySteam said:
Damn, I fall into both of those groups...
