Poll: What do YOU expect from HL2: Episode 3?

[Sniper Team 4]

To come out before I die. That would really be great. The only way I will forgive Valve at this point is if Portal 2's ending directly ties into Half-Life (Episode) 3. I've said how they can do this many, many times, but if someone wants me to say it again, I will.

So....After some long years.....Glimpses....Shards....Of what appears to be a game...Not just any ordinary game....a sequel....To one of the best games of ever....SO! I ask you, What do you expect from Half Life 2: Episode 3?
My expectations are that the game better damn well be awesome.
That is all.

personally I think that ever since Duke Nukem Forever got a release date Valve took it upon them selves to be in charge of the new greatest game ever that will never be released.

so hopefully in 12 years Yhatzee will do a mock review of it that was so funny that it will bend the fabric of reality so it actually gets released.

Hoping for some P0rtal cross over/ small reference. Not a doubt in my mind it wont be good though, the HL series has consistently amazed me since the beginning, I still play 2 to this day.

 

[AetherWolf]

I expect a passing reference to John Freeman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHxyZaZlaOs
Not much, just something along the lines of "Hey Gordon, didn't you have a brother?"

"I have to kill fast... AND BULLETS TOO SLOW. John Freeman started killing Combines with BEAR HANDS"

Why the fuck not?

I hope that it just doesn't get released. Once Valve makes another 3 or 4 kick-ass games (portal 2 excluded i suppose), people will start to realise it isn't going to happen. The franchise could certainly use conclusion, but I don't think it's worth it.

 

[Xcelsior]

It to not happen, it's been so long since episode 2 and there's no news on an episode 3 so I've given up on it even coming into existence.

At this point, Alyx better materialize when I install the game, and proceed to have hawt smex with me for waiting for an above average shooter to finally come out.

 

[Tsaba]

either Gordon Freeman dies in a Christ like way or Alyx dies and G Man turns out to be the big bady for Half Life 3.

 

[Ekit]

I'm expecting see-saw puzzles, headcrabs and awful vehicle sections.

 

[Lesd3vil]

I want the end of the damn story! How long have we waited to see what actually happens next? At this point they could release it as a bloody feature length cut-scene and I wouldn't complain :|

 

[Marowit]

it'll be the most epic let down of the interw3bs.

 

[baddude1337]

Just a different engine really. Source is getting just a bit dated.

And considering how fucking long over due it is, it should be as long as Half Life 2, Ep1 and Ep2 combined.

 

[Kasper Gundersen]

To be so amazing that looking directly at it causes you to go mad. Anything less, and Valve better have a damn good excuse.

Kinda reminds me of Yathzee's " review of Duke Nukem Forever...

 

[Woodsey]

We haven't seen anything bar 2 pieces of art work and some very loose talk about sign language (which I think was back in '09).

It is impossible to expect anything unless you're a fool or a fucking time traveler.

[sub]And it won't have a new engine, for the love of the last few brain cells in my head devoted to the topic, learn why they built Source in the first place.[/sub]

 

[MrPrecocious]

Based on how long they're taking with it, it bloody well better be worth the wait.

 

[Captain Pirate]

I want a game that doesn't bore me to tears.
Dear God I could not bring myself to play through the staleness that was HL2.
Same, stormtrooper-like enemy... bang bang... another 5 of 'em.... bang bang.

 

[internetzealot1]

I expect Breen.

 

[akibawall95]

If it is taking this long I would think it would be at least good.
