Half-Life 3 announced today

[Urgh76]

So what do you guys think?

Spoiler: Gameplay footage released with announcement

What were some of the cruelest April Fools jokes you've ever encountered?

 

[Full]

OP's not lying, you know. [http://storestteampowered.com/app/4411/]

 

[Solo-Wing]

Seen it already. It is a lie.

 

[Erttheking]

So exactly when ARE they going to release that fucking thing?

 

[dumbseizure]

What makes this worse is that I'm from Australia, so at the moment, its the 2nd of April..... -_-

Same here in NZ, it's getting old quick...

Ditto, being so far ahead of everyone else does have its downsides such as getting two days of nothing but April Fools articles.

edit: decided against posting what I wanted to post

 

[Goofguy]

Be careful with what you say, guys. We don't want this to happen.

Spoiler: Gaben, nooooo

I lol'd.

Yeah, saw the site too, and knew it was fake.

 

[Grottnikk]

Heh, nice one

 

[Luca72]

Love how one of the screenshots even hints at the goddamn Hydra. Well played.

captcha: Science. it works.

Yeah. Too well sometimes.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Hehe.

It would be quite funny if the actual release date was October 10th of this year.

I'm sure that'd throw some people for a loop.

 

[wulf3n]

Wasn't this done last year as well?

Come one people, new pranks

 

[DoPo]

Wasn't this done last every year as well?

Yes, yes indeed it was. I was quite surprised OP didn't just fabricate something for the hell of it. I'm getting more let down by the jokes not being actual jokes than *gasp* being my expectations being subverted. It was Warcraft 4 earlier today and now HL3...yeah.

On the other hand, I did get a bit of a chuckle when Half-Life 4 was listed here [http://steamdb.info/app/800/#section_info]. Although, later they didn't remove it, but rather just changed the name to "redacted". Well, at least now they have a blog post that's a bit funny again.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

It wasn't funny the last five years, why should it be funny this year? It's not even a particularly cruel April Fools joke either. It's been done to death.

 

[aFallenSentinel]

Why would you do that? Why?! WHYYYYYYY?!?!?!

 

[Binkan]

That's like pouring salt on an open wound it huuurts badly and that comic i hate it what if that would be the truth to it? maybe they cancelled it because everyone thought they would make an april's fools of it when it's not...

 

[Maximum Bert]

Saw an article for the release of Capcom Vs SNK 3 to coincide with the release of the PS4. I was super hyped and considering getting the PS4 on launch because of this and then yeah realised it was posted yesterday on April the 1st. Damn them.
