MODERATORS
No possible version of half-life 3 will satisfy the hype that has festered over decades. It’s best not to make half life 3 ever.
I've been convinced of this for a while too. Plus, HL1 and 2 were both groundbreaking in one way or another - there was simply nothing like it before each of those titles. For HL3 to come around, it will need to reshape gaming again, and I don't see that happening. Without another groundbreaking gameplay mechanic, it'll just be just another Call Of Shooty in a saturated market, and it will disappoint long time fans.
HL Alyx got to be the defining 3D shooter if that counts
Yes, but that's also the reason why it was called Alyx and not 3: VR was nothing new at the time. While it is arguably a great game (Or so I've been told. Never played it myself), it didn't introduce something brand new.
