I forget the name of the theory but it could be the one where it becomes a self-fulfiling prophecy.
Go back to black mesa, during a firefight or something a piece of the Borealis gets lost behind, scientists use it for the cascade.
Or G-man, for whatever reason, couldn't reach the Borealis, get back to black mesa, there the g-man can take whatever can cause the cascade, give it to the scientists. So everything would be the same.

They just don't care anymore. If your game isn't multiplayer focused with an ability to nickle and dime impressionable children with gambling, its just not going to get done.

I don't care that Half Life 3 isn't going to get made. Who the hell thought it would, really? After all this time, just let it go. What upsets me seeing a company I looked upto, a man I looked upto, change. Maybe Gabe is still "Based Gaben" but nothing he does has shown that. He is a jew of the first order, a straight faced lying jew who has stung people along for years.

Say what you will have other devs, of Peter who overhypes, Todd who promises mountains, but at least they never led people on with the empty winking nudges of a game that will never exist. They released games, maybe not anything amazing but they got the job done.

Valve sit in their tower promoting themselves with little sideways chuckles as interviews mention Half Life 3. Its a cute joke to them. People laugh right along with them. Haha, they'll get around to it. Half Life 3 has to exist, 'based Gaben' wouldn't string people along like that, he cares about his fans. This man promotes a hippy workplace, thats what he advertises, but in truth Valve is a high pressure corperation. You want to make Half Life? I'm afraid not, we let all the writers go, and we'll pressure you to do what we WANT you to do. But thats our little secret, keep nodding and winking at the masses, let them know there is always hope.

Fuck Valve, fuck Gabe, fuck Half Life, fuck anyone who has bought a crate, or skin or whatever microtransations these games have. Just fuck the industry in general, fuck Ubisoft with there spazzy chimp and Beyond Good and Evil 2 'Sequel', fuck EA with their mobile Dragon Keeper, fuck Lionhead for becoming what they are, fuck Doublefine for failing at every turn, fuck Volition for never finishing Freespace, fuck CCP for canceling their Vampire game.

Fuck video games, and fuck me for caring about them.

Considering this ending, they're going for the futile feels, where nothing you do affects anything on the grand scale of things. You, Gordon, the resistance, Earth, are but a speck somewhere in the bowels of Combine's bureaucracy. An insignificant biological form with self-aggrandizing dreams.

What do you think Alyx did? I mean it's pretty safe to say if Gordon never got pulled back to the present that they never saw each other again. Do you think she kept herself pure for him in the small hope the one free man would return?

>>388307114
Half-Life 1 is the better game. I'll never understand why people insist on starting a series half way through. It's like saying "Hey guys, I want to watch Lord of the Rings. Should I watch Fellowship to get up to speed?".

Yes, also Opposing Force. After you finish both episodes you can check out Black Mesa, also definitely enjoyable.

>>388307191

Earth's occupation was likely just a forward force, since the Combine only managed to discover our universe from the resonance cascade and realised we didn't pose a significant threat.

Alternatively/in addition, a lot of the combine's forces could instead be focusing on enemies that actually prove a challenge, like G-Man and his 'employers'

Gabe justifies it as "money is money", but there's something bigger at stake. For years, Gabe was put on a pedestal with the likes of Miyamoto and Kojima. People who treated video games like a creative medium instead of a product. People who saw the art in it.

He could have had a legacy as a gaming hero. But he threw it away for even more money. Everyone likes money, but you know the old saying: you can't take it with you. GabeN will leave behind a massive money making empire, but he will not be remembered alongside Miyamoto. GabeN will be remembered as a businessman that turned a respectable game development company into another EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Sony. I can't name any of their CEOs. One day, "based Gabe" will be forgotten and he'll only be known as the man who pioneered microtransaction.

The combine were literally poisoning the air ands the npcs wore gas masks, and you took that down on the mission 'air exchange'
The manhacks were controlled by a place where people thought they were playing a video game, and that they weren't killing actual people

She's written to be an interesting character who happens to be female. She's cute, dare I say ven sexy yet not overly girly while still maintaining feminine charm. She's not an in your face girl power fantasy that tries to emasculate Gordon, she's his partner.

She's an anti sjw/feminist female character.

>>388308238
Eh, no. It'll get a bunch of negative reviews right away from people who want HL3, but they'll either be flooded by normies recommending the game, or Valve might even just remove them.

As for the dev, fuck him/her. They work at Valve, they reap the rewards, high pay and a lazy work ethic, at the cost of being seen in a negative light because they work for the biggest (Quite literally) jew in the industry.

>>388308389
>trying to co-opt a good female character as some kind of /pol/tard anti-sjw message
You shitters are desperate, aren't you? No matter how you stretch it, Alyx Vance is good female representation in accordance with feminist ideas of women being equal, so you can sit and spin.

The industry changed. Valve only did their part as a company. Doesn't excuse their lack of actual game development but it's just a business like any other now. Most people are willing to buy unfinished games, cut games to later be sold as dlc, and we say thank you for that.
The gaming culture reached a certain cult high and disagreeing made you look like an outsider.

>>388308959
Nothing ever stays "pure". If people buy something, competitors will show up, then more, then more, until they're all under the umbrella of "industry".
Games were always going down this path. We just didn't know how far they would've fallen. Other industries had time to slowly adapt. We had a bunch of passionate nerds wanting to make games. That's it. When business men saw the potential, they saw an opportunity to mold these young, guillable devs, into their own whims.

>"2016 was an aufwl year, we lost so many."
Then 2017 comes along.
Now this is the real loss.
Fuck valve.

The problem is that people is expecting multi-million companies to make games like the ones a bunch of nerds made in a garage, because thats how most memorable games where made. Even the first portal was that, as it was developed by students before being bought by valve.

The best thing a AAA company can make is a drama movie where you press some buttons.

What if it was an inside job to kill the hype so they wouldn't risk the whole "disappointing everyone" thing

The worst bit about this all

it isn't that we're not getting half life 3

it's that, if by some chance, it does happen, in the very far future, it won't be THIS ending, it'll be something completely different. it's already a fucking disappointment and it isn't out. It HAS to be this ending. it is so fucking kino. but new writers will have it be a happy ending because casuals can't handle something a little deep

>>388309663
Nope. Glados herself says so at the end of the first portal.

That doesnt make any sence then. If any citadel could recieve supplies then whats so important about city 17th citadel? okay, it blew up. Send a message via next biggest citadel, but no.

And? What was the point of defending white forest and closing the superportal? Even if it takes time, comine has all the time in the world to gather enough power to open portal in the other citadel.

What was the point of defending this exact citadel if its not the only one capable of teleportation?

They are leaderless and scattered, apparently they couldn't communicate with Overworld and open portals on whim without Citadel.

Let me ask you how many hours have you invested into HL2? Maybe the maximum is around 100, if you are a hardcore fan. Single player has never been what gaming is about. It's a cool way to tell a story and be invested in it. The progression goes like this - books ( let's you imagine the story), movies ( let's you see the story ), singleplayer games ( let's you be part of the story ). But it's just that - a really good way to make someone invested in a story, while holding their hand. Marc Laidlaw got his story out.
Real gaming is about getting better, playing with friends, skills, teamwork, community and good times. Most of these self proclaimed gamers never felt the atmosphere of a real gaming club. Esports developed because people invested hundreds of hours into these games while getting better and having fun.
I see poeple in this community as pretentious and ignorant. You spent 70$ to be immersed in a story and complete it, then act like you managed to solve world hunger. Blind elitism. The reality is that if these games had any actual depth, people would continue to play them and try to get better. That's why there is esports. It's like comparing Chess to Sudoku. That's why the best gamers are the people playing in front of huge crowds with millions on the line, not some basement dwellers with entitled opinions.
Some people flame Valve for microtransactions, but their games aren't p2w. People flame them for not releasing a medicore game, but fail to see they've been working on revolutionizing storytelling through VR. There is a reason why Dota and Counter-Strike are Valve's biggest games, enjoyed by millions worldwide for the past 10 - 15 years and if you don't get it maybe the problem is with you.

He literally does nothing. He's shit. There's no story for him, no background.

Doomguy is a monster for monsters. This is confirmed both in gameplay and environment.

We clearly see several advisors flying around and combine had organized assault on the missile base. Doesnt seem so scattered to me.
They just lost their capital. Even is states lose washington nothing will be eaderless and scattered, and people are dumb, why do you expect combine be as dumb?

Why is the World Jewery so gigatriggered by Based E-Sports, the Hammer on Normies?

Is it their grass-roots emergence denying their sleazy hands from gaining ground? The glorification of intellectual and spiritual prowess over barbarity and the mundane?
Is it just First World Whites Enjoying Their Time As They Please?

Fuck you and your esports bullshit. You people were the reason why gaming went to shit. We could still have community dedicated servers, but due to esports all we have now is soulless and cancerous matchmaking where everyone is an asshole and showing off their $100 dollar skin
