Malachite_Dragon posted:The schaden is all of you old farts who still desperately cling to the dream of a sequel to Half-Life. You clung to the dream of Duke Nukem Forever getting finished, too, and look what that got you when it finally happened. The sooner you let it go and move on with your lives, the happier you'll all be. Yeah, it's never going to happen while all their other games print money from selling cosmetics and whatever the gently caress the DOTA Compendium (Companion?) is.

I honestly don't get why everyone always assumes that people are dying for a new half life game when most of the other valve games are way more fun than that series. TF2 was fun, L4D was fun, Portal was fun, Setting up turrets in nova prospekt was boring as balls. I guess the schaden is on me for wanting something new and different from the most overrated developers in games history.

TF2 was fun, L4D was fun, Portal was fun, Setting up turrets in nova prospekt was boring as balls. To be fair, HL2 is literally 13 years old at this point. When it came out, a lot of it was pretty goddamn groundbreaking as far as FPSs went. Actually discernible facial animations, a detailed physics simulation embedded into gameplay, a story that's told indirectly in a very immersive fashion, a number of unique enemies and weapons, and all of that based on an engine that turned out to be one of the most versatile and lasting engines in the industry. Setting up turrets in Nova Prospect was cool at the time because few (or perhaps no) other games at the time allowed you to just pick up a thing, plop it down anywhere, and watch as it's rocked back and forth and eventually knocked over by enemy gunfire. Of course, the rest of the genre quickly caught up to that level and eventually eclipsed it, and now much of that is fairly standard fare. But at the time it came out, it just blew our minds. So apparently quite a few people are hoping that a theoretical Half Life 3 would be another massive leap forward like that, no matter whether that's actually possible or feasible.

Data Graham posted:I liked Wing Commander but how many Star Citizens do we need before we decide that if something isn't meant to be it isn't meant to be This is quickly turning into a video game thread, but DOOM (2016) shows that you can take an old game, put it in front of actual good devs who 'get it', and get back an amazing AAA title. The Shadenfreude's on the publisher for thinking people know and remember Doom for it's deathmatch of all loving things, then tried to sell multiplayer DLC when literally the entire player base is waving around their wallets for more single player missions. Idjuts.

I wouldn't really give too much of a poo poo if Half-Life Episode 3 or whatnot is basically the same iterative improvement as Episode 2 was. I just want some kind of conclusion to the storyline.

Aerdan posted:Except that management literally cannot assign him anyone to work with after he posted that poo poo. No woman will want to work with him, and many men will be disgusted enough to want to punch him in the face. Grown-ups in every industry routinely have fruitful professional relationships with people they don't actually like and would not enjoy discussing politics with over a few beers after work. That does not constitute a hostile work environment.

Everyone sucks, you just don't put in writing how much you suck at work. https://twitter.com/ZekeJMiller/status/895283559128236033 e: beaten!

It wasn't just now, actually-- this happened two weeks ago, but only leaked out an hour ago (because Mueller et al are actually pretty competent). The schadenfreude, I suppose, is on Trump here. Manafort was raided in the early morning of July 26. Trump (clearly) thought that it would become widely known during the day, judging by the fact that he went on an unusually wild tizzy that day. https://twitter.com/DonnieCalabrese/status/895288737571250176
