Could it be true? We’ve all been waiting so long I’m very skeptical anytime I see articles like this but this actually looks good?

If it gets announced or released: Cool.

But until then all those leakers, dataminers, third class publications, youtubers and everybody else who profits from the attention these leaks naturally drive can fuck right off. The current Valve leaks news cycle is so fucking annoying. Be it Deckard, Deck, HL, whatever else.

Apart from that i was pissed at Valve for the cliffhanger at end of EP2 with no follow up. But that was 15 years ago. Seriously its been over 10 years since i decided that i just stop care about this franchise. Still played Black Mesa when it finally hit 1.0. That was nice a throwback. But HL3? I just dont care anymore. Might check it out if it ever gets released or i dont. idk

    If the cliffhanger at the end of HL:2 Episode 2 annoyed you, the one at the end of Half Life: Alyx will annoy you even more because it not only returns to that moment but the G Man uses reality warping shenanigans to overwrite what happens in it, and replaces it with a different cliffhanger.

    Son of a bitch and his unforeseen consequences, indeed.

    On the bright side, this also circumvents the need for the original events of Half Life 3 to happen, since Valve has consistently said they were not willing to make it as it was originally drafted (especially now since Marc Laidlaw leaked/released the entire plot online). So now I guess they're free to do something new with the story direction... Whatever that might be.

    Maybe put a spoiler tag at the beginning of your comment for those who haven't gotten a chance to play Alex yet

    I sort of get it, but also "Half Life game ends with G Man time-freeze BS and a random abrupt cliffhanger that will not be resolved for years, if ever" isn't exactly an unexpected outcome for anyone who's interested in Half Life.

    You may as well just watch a Youtube LP of Alyx anyway, since I imagine the majority of players do not have the equipment to play it themselves.
