Correction. Half life was the best game at the time, its not just people jumping in a bandwagon. Trying to compare Half Life to SIN and presumably Unreal Tournament, whilst good in their own right, is a none starter. Half was genre defining, introduced many scripts, lighting, mapping, coding and other mechanics that didn't exist until HL existed. It got 98% on pc gamer magazine, the highest ever score for two decades. You simply missed out as you clearly couldn't appreciate the game, whereas others did. I mean it's just your opinion but fact is Half has been heralded and continues to be heralded as one if the greatest games of all time. I'd wager most people wouldn't even know what SIN is, let alone care to play it today. Same cannot be said if HL. You can always go play sonething else but most likely you will play HL3 because it like its predecessors will be genre defining and set the benchmark for other games to step up.

Samee. I grew up in dis era but kinda of stayed away from HL games due to lack of interest and never played them. Way preferred Unreal.

I suppose the logic must be if you use/like steam, you must be a HL fan?

Hope it does well though as I do want to finally get to at least play one from this series.

Another round of HL3 rumours to make up for the lack of good news and innovative products, the memory price apocalypse and the pretty bad year 2025 has been tech-wise in general?

Bored of these articles based on rumours and speculation.

Rumors were wrong already, so who cares. And what's this obsession with HL3 anyways? I don't know why but the HL franchise never pulled me in that much. Back in the days when HL1 came out, I think it was ok, but personally I found games like Unreal and Sin more interesting ...

And then Half Life 2 came out, and everybody was confused "meh, what is that thing, it's completely different, doesn't make sense, not the expected sequel, worse than HL1" etc. Also Episode 1 had not much content except gravity gun riddles, which got was very tedious. Episode 2 was a bit better, but only so much as to compensate for the previous episode.

And now everyone is like "Half Life is the best in the world, we can't wait for HL3, where is it? It comes at this date, and that date, and and and  ...

Seriously .... WTF? Overrated as F...
