    Maybe not everything is lost! There's still hope they'll include lootboxes!

    Why is the PC gaming industry being treated so poorly whatever happened to Half Life 3 I don't understand it your game makes millions and millions of dollars yet you don't want to release another one are they scared of money do they not need the money or they just simply that rich I have no idea in my mind as to why they wouldn't create Half-Life 3 it was a success and it generated Millions multi-millions why not go with it go with the flow and create Half-Life 3 I just don't understand it can someone else fill me in as to why they didn't create that game

    To the moderators I'm typing with Google Talk on my cell phone it doesn't put in periods commas colons semicolons Etc so I'm sorry if my grammar looks terrible it's just so much easier typing with your voice and hopefully you don't mind for now and in the future thank you for your cooperation just joking thank you for your help

    I never understood why they didn't at least finish Episode 3, and they could have drawn it to a conclusion then. They could have used the same engine as Episode 2, but they were always updating the Source engine and wanted to keep updating it to showcase new technologies. Just finish the damn story with the tools you have, Valve. It would have sold like hotcakes. They could still do that and I think fans would be happy.

    I think at this point if HL3 was released and anything but perfect, it would still cause the entire internet to implode in a singularity of rage. It's been held up as this golden god of games when it didn't even really exist except as an incomplete storyboard, and honestly I don't see how something close enough to the original games to satisfy nostalgia would keep me interested for long in terms of actual gameplay. I went back and played through the existing games and almost didn't bother to finish.

    It looks alot like polybridge. Personally I would just check out polybridge if you want a physics based bridge builder. I fell in love with the game after I watched a twitch streamer fail over and over with his bridge designs. Definitely the funniest thing I've seen all year. If you can still find the videos of amazhs playing poly bridge just watch them.

    That kinda looks like fun. Might try it myself, though no streaming.

    It does look like a fun simple game, just not expected as a valve game in portal / half- life universe.

    Honestly the universe is a major draw for the original, not sure how much I'd like it without that.
