valve is washed, i hope they never release hl3. they retconned the ending of episode whatever the fuck in hl:alyx because mark laidlaw gave a rough outline for how he was going to have the story direction go and they were tilted by it. now the gman can simply take people into the future to murder whoever with no chance of them to fight back or avoid it and he never extends this curtesy to freeman. valve talks all this big bluster about how they arent going to make a game or product that doesnt push the medium forward and yet they werent even going to put locomotion movement in hl: alyx till they had a meeting with stress level zero, the indie devs that made boneworks/bonelab who were already doing more advanced shit and valve realized they were cooked for letting these 3 jerkoff's show them up, you cant jump or even punch enemies or push headcrabs away, actions that are in countless shovelware garbage vr titles despite alyx taking out several metrocops in hand to hand combat saving gordon freeman the first time shes introduced in the series
i remember the first time i played hl2 after the airboat levels when i got to the resistance base, i was introduced to judy, and it was a breath of fresh air, this intellectual milf who recognizes my obvious greatness in the field of theoretical physics and then i hear this elevator and i instantly just knew, i just knew, alyx then comes off the elevator and starts getting into an argument with judy and i just knew they were gonna force the mutt girl on me and it bummed me out and just completely set the tone for the rest of the game, and then towards the end they imply that judy is some kind of coalburner with eli, it was awful
i simply dont think valve has it in them to make something that would live up to the expectations of hl3, it would be better to just not make it, they're a bunch of no nut bullshitters
