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

[Sutter Cane]

I just want an ending to the story. They can't just leave us on a cliffhanger, i mean come on, that's just unfair.

 

[TheAweDude]

I expect basically Ep 2, but lengthened. Awesome combat, good physics puzzles, a great final boss, and a big dramatic even near the end.

I also wouldn't mind a really long monologue (like 30 mins) from the G-Man. He and Breen are my favourite characters.

 

[PurplePlatypus]

A game that continues on from ep.2.
Other than that some improved graphics from the updates they have made to the source engine.
I expect that I?ll enjoy it for similar reasons I did the others.

To bad this poll only has options regarding how you want ep3 to be, not if you want it at all. I would like HL3 instead, it would be like HL 2's superiority over HL (almost) if it was powered with Portal 2's source. Now if they release ep 3 i expect nothing less than a game that would blow up the entire southern hemisphere if it was released... with exception of Brisbane and the places those new Top Gear fellows has to go to.

 

[NicolasMarinus]

I expect a release date!

 

[s0m3th1ng]

A fairly linear romp through some sewers. Followed by Alex Vance's death.

now THAT would cause some serious outcry...nah I doubt they would do that

Alright...but I reserve the right to scream "I called it" when or if it comes out.

What I expect from Valve is to make the best Half-Life game yet. What I expect will actually happen is another small expansion to HL2.

this. Duke nukem forever theory

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I expect Half Life 3.

None of this Episode bullshit.

 

[ZeroMachine]

Like a fucking blowjob or something with the amount of time it's taking.

Fuck it, I'm gonna go with this option.

These guys have been taking so long with that game and released other sequels to other games that I've lost a load of faith in their Half Life department.

HURRY THE HELL UP, GUYS! Blue balls, here. Blue balls.

 

[Beryl77]

Since there hasn't been a single game from Valve that has disappointed me, I expect it to be awesome and I expect it to be Half-Life 3 and not Episode 3.

 

[Eumersian]

I expect that it will never come out!

Now that the jokes are out of the way, I can say that I expect it to be a lot of fun. Valve, even though they haven't done a thing for EP. 3 that we know of, are still a very good company. They still make good games, and I expect EP. 3 to be so storied and epic and have a really good plot that will keep me speculating.

What I really want, is a plot where Gordon does not destroy the Borealis. I know Eli told him to, but we all know that Gordon is directly under the thumb of the G-Man and whoever he works for. I feel like it would be a powerful statement to make Gordon, against all of his better judgment, to still do what he's told to by the G-Man.

This could lead into an epic plot-line of rebellion and deception for a Half-Life 3, but maybe I'm expecting too much.

 

[Comma-Kazie]

You need an option that says "more waiting." Because that's what you're going to get.

 

[CharrHearted]

None of those, what I want is a signed apology from Gabe and some steel toe capped boots to KICK HIM UP THE ARSE!

 

[RA92]

I expect it to be a shooter beyond all!

I expect the Combine units to have the best AI in the industry while playing in Deathmatch! I expect a massive zombie shooter! I expect a massive fast zombie shooter! I expect holding off the antlion's massive zerg-rushes! I expect taking down Hunters by running them over with my goddamned muscle car! I expect to take down multiple Striders and Gunships simultaneously single-handedly with rockets and Magnuson Devices! I want amazing atmospheres and the creepiest underground structures! I want manly puzzles that aren't condescending to my intelligence!

In short: I want to play Half-Life!

 

[Communist partisan]

I expect and hope it will be abounded making all fanboys STFU about it's release and I never liked the HL games exept the first one.

 

[Iwana Humpalot]

I do belive in Valve, but i am still prepared for the worst.
..And it might be kinda funny if it would be horrible and everyone would be rage about it for atleat 2 months.

 

[Ickorus]

I expect to see a giant seesaw puzzle in which 90% of the game is spent moving objects from one side to the other in order to make it tip.
