Them making you to spend a dollar to buy a game and then beat it to unlock some secret announcement is a terrible way to market something.

the secret still won't be half life 3 and that progress bar is a lie.

It'll probably just be some useless information about steam box or os or whatever but if it's a good game for cheap I might do it anyway because it sounds fun :shrug:

unless hl3 is restructured as an everflowing money fountain rather than something you might want to actually play its probably never coming out

if half life 3 comes out it means that valve stopped making absurd money on hats, virtual dota books, and summer sales

they also said they weren't gonna make any games that didn't have online components back when Portal 2 came out so HL3 would be poo poo if it came out anyway.

although portal 2's mp was such a clusterfuck that maybe they decided against that. remember that portal 2 has hats, lol

dark souls is a pretty good way to integrate multiplayer into what is essentially a solid single player experience, maybe that's what they meant.

I was picturing something like l4d in hl3 except adding the ping tool from p2 mp to be able to direct ai when playing solo.


What I really want is the secret tech on the borealis to be a gun that sprays the gel so it's tag with guns.

I want the E3 reveal trailer to be freaking like, g man talking to the play and talking about what time it is. How he has ominous places to be, then A portal opens up in the dark room and it's Alex in a orange jumpsuit (portal reference) and she blasts g mans head off with the raven holm shotgun. Gordon grabs her hand she says We can save my dad. That'd be epic
