'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to g*mers'

HL 2 was objectively a bad game.

The world, characters and lore are objectively uninteresting and generic.

What made HL2 even remotely playable: fancy physics and technology (at the time) that is now outdated and irrelevant.

And lastly, nobody with a functional braincell cares.

Move out of your parents basement and go have s*x.

HL2 was more a tech demo than a real halflife game.

Valve is not a game developer. They are a game retailer. Anyone who treats them as a serious developer is a fanboy commodity fetishist stuck in past.

Nah, you wish though incel.

I still got that free steam redeem coupon from 2004 for HL2 from when I bought my first GPU.

I'm just not a Manchild whose stuck in past and has to attempt to relive their childhood through nostalgia and comodity-worship.

Cope and seethe my friend, go play with some legos or something and cool off a bit, maybe your wife's bf can join and you can build morgon freeman together.
