Poll: Have you Given Up On Half-Life 2: Episode Three (Half-Life 3)?

[Fai57]

Valve does have a history of long development periods. Other people have already mentioned this, but Half life 2 took 6 years to complete, and it was a great game. Team Fortress 2 took 8-ish years to complete, and it turned out to be an excellent game as well. (By great, I mean polish, gameplay, and general consensus, personal preference aside) They'e on track for releasing Half Life 3, if their past record is anything to go by. They don't call it Valve time for nothing.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they released it along with a new Source engine. Even if they said they wouldn't release a new one for years, that may be when they release HL3. After all, they've released a new Source engine for each major Half Life release. Admittedly, Half Life and Gold Source don't really count as much, but that may be what they're aiming for.

We all know that Valve can't make a game with a 3 in the title. They even managed to avoid the number with the Left 4 Dead series. I doubt it will come out with a 3 in the title. Maybe be called something else.

Capcha: I'm sorry

Ok capcha. What did you break?

I have gotten to the point where I legitimately do not care if I ever play the game. Hell, at this point, were it released tomorrow I still wouldn't be in any rush to play the thing.

Its because Valve doesn't just tell it's dev team to develop Half Life Episode 3, it just tells them "Okay now work on something today, if it's Episode 3 related fine by me.

I never thought the Half-Life series was amazing (GASP!), but I did like them quite a bit.

If it comes out, great, if it doesn't, great.

I have not really given up hope, Half Life 2 was a blast to me and it makes me wonder what 3 will be like enough to go and get it.... But it does drive me insane that they dont tell you anything about it and how far along it's been under construction... For all we know they are still trying to figure out what to call it.

Of course it will be released. Valve isn't the kind of company which would let its fans suffer for fun. They have their reasons for why the game is taking this long.
Besides, it was the same with hl2 back then. We also had to wait a long time and without any kind of information. They only started really talking about it, when the development had progressed really far.
The only difference this time is that ep2 ended on that stupid cliffhanger. Also, it's pretty much obvious by now that it's going to be Half-Life 3 and not Episode 3.
So yeah, I haven't given hope up at all. I know they will release it eventually, we just have to be patient and there are a lot of other good game out there which just wait to be played.

I haven't given up hope yet. I'm just patiently waiting. I mean, DNF finally made it out. So it should be Black Mesa: Source next. THEN we get Episode 3.
