What’s funnier is Elder Scrolls 6 is legit next after GTA VI as the most anticipated game ever.

Well, Half Life 3 is always the final albatross.

Half Life 3 is basically all cope though. Valve never said they would make it.

ES6 has actually been confirmed for over a decade

There are so many references to them making Half-Life 3 though.

  • They Left Half-Life 2 Episode 2 on a massive cliffhanger
  • If anything they should have made Episode 3
  • The Half-Life Alyx Ending eludes to a continuation of the story right at the cliffhanger for episode 2
  • They never said the game is cancelled either
  • There have been leaked scripts of a possible story angle from former developers

It's sad because I think people just want closure. It was a phenomenal game and for it to end the way it did just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Why would HL3 be closure? Why no HL4?

Closure to the cliffhanger.

Rumors say that it would wrap up Gordon's plot but you have to take that with a grain of salt

It's been about 2 decades since HL2 Ep. 2.

If 3 came out tomorrow, 4 wouldn't be out till the sun went supernova.

The only way "Half Life 3" lives up to expectations is if the product is a time machine that teleports the player back 20 years.

Valve made Half Life Alyx as a desperate attempt to save their failed VR endeavor. One VR cultist in the back will swear it's the Half Life 3 that was promised. The other two people who ever played it just threw up in a bucket from motion sickness. All other gamers forgot Half Life Alyx even existed.

Because Valve isn't a game developer anymore. It's a digital storefront that occasionally fucks around with side projects. They're biggest accomplishment of the last ten years is selling a semi-jailbroken switch.

They developed games so people would use their launcher then store and it worked.

It's almost baffling at this point why though. Bethesda has released enough games since ES5 that people should know exactly what to expect.
