I disagree. Sure there are tons of FPS games out there, 95% are multiplier focused and have minimal to zero story, and it was the story that people remember from the Half-Laife series IMO.
Alyx was/is fantastic and really shows what it takes to make a VR game, everything game system wise "just works" and feels natural (on an Index at least), and the story was fine. Sure it's not HL3 but it's a good game in the HL universe.
I think the problem with HL3 is that no matter what they deliver large chunks of people will be disappointed and Valve have zero need to release anything ever again so there is no pressure to even try.
- Shared404 5y agoYou may be right. I've never played Half Life, but am currently playing through the MCC largely for the story. They definitely missed the boat on releasing it though, or maybe <wishfulthinking>they're holding it and Portal 3 as Linux exclusives for when M$ steps too far</wishfulthinking>
