The Mandalorian doesn't do anything new. It puts you back in the Star Wars universe of the late 1970's, with a compelling set of characters, environments, and scripts to match. That's all a new Half Life (or Portal) game would have to do.
- Reubachi 5y agoAgreed, but the elephant in the room is that Mandalorian is so popular with millennials + similar age groups because of the massive amounts of fan service in the show. It's not particularly fantastic writing or plot development. I would not want to have a HL3 that relied on "DAE Glados? DAE Team Fortress Hats?", and I really, really respect Valve for not doing that.
- deadbunny 5y agoI might be the exception here but I've really enjoyed The Mandolorian despite not liking the films. While it's set in the SW universe and has lots of references I probably don't notice them over obvious things like major characters showing up. For me it's a perfectly fine show, nothing groundbreaking but definitely above average.
