OriginalRen Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'm so surprised, I never would have even guessed this could possibly happen. We need to stand united against those evil Valve employees for not giving us our games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just like Star Wars is dead without George Lucas I mean, Valve obviously can't hire a new writer or anything. That's utterly beyond the realm of possibility. 12 minutes ago, Nosebleed said: VALVE IS EVIL PRANK (GONE WRONG) ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED (GONE SEXUAAAALLLL) 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Blue Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 this doesnt mean anything, also the story behind half life is almost non existence to begin with... the gameplay it's what makes half life an awesome game not the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeruleanGamer Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 This is almost like Kojima and Konami somewhat..... Most likely the dude will join a different company and do his own thing and people will flock to his works due to his success with Half Life series.

G-man for example has a weird patter of speech and nothing else, the whole story is moronic and very simple. Again half life main point is not its story but the gameplay. That's why cs was so successful, just for using the same engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level and map design has nothing to do with the story there was nothing, you enter a super complex, do an experiment that goes wrong for some reason and start killing aliens while there is a war going on between the humans and those aliens, that's it. You don't know the background of freeman, why is there, what is his job, why is it that with his awesome degree he is moving a cart with some weird shit on it when that's a job for clearly someone else... not a scientist.

But it's not going to happen, and everyone knows it. Even the fans who urgently look for hints that it might happen, they really know it. They are just trying to keep hope alive. so i call BS on your statement, now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Blue Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I like the game I never said it was bad I just said it has no story or a good one and stating that because the writer of the game is leaving the company means the game will be canceled for me that doesnt make any sense.

The latter of those isn't even an uncommon occurrence. For a recent, high-profile example, look at the Wheel of Time series. The example is pretty much tailor-made to disprove your claim: the novels Brandon Sanderson wrote are way better than their immediate predecessors, written by the original author Robert Jordan. Zeno also already gave another good example of this earlier in the thread - the new Star Wars movie, with new writing, directing, etc., is probably literally universally considered better than any entry in the prequel series (episodes 1-3), written by original creator and bad screenwriter George Lucas. solidbatman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
