Friendly reminder Race-X were scarier and more interesting than the Combine

>When did valve became so passive aggressive against Half Life fans?

>Half Life 3 when?

>Gayben uhhh never

Well it wasn't that hard to figure it out was it? They don't make games anymore because they have other gud shekel sources.

I wouldn't want a game made by gearbox to be cannon either

>>14416830

>Valve decides Hunt down the freeman can be canon instead

Source, faggot.

>>14416830

Half-life 3 confirmed

When they found out becoming a platform to sell shitty games was noteworthy when money came into play.

All good people are corrupt when it comes to money. Money corrupts all.

>>14416833

I wouldn’t be surprise if valve sold a battle royal game under the Half life 3 name.

>>14416840

Don't give them ideas.

>>14416844

Fuck. Hire telltales game to make Half Life 3 with a battle royal multiplayer mode.

>>14416834

pre-borderlands gearbox were more or less competent devs that didn't go out of their way to out themselves as stupendous faggots, then 2007 and twitter happened and we know the rest

>>14416830

Actually Adrian Shepard is Schrodinger's Cat, he may or may not be canon according to various interviews through the years.

>>14416855

>2007 happened and everything I thought was great turned out to be trash

you mean

>>14416830

>Valve decides Hunt down the freeman can be canon instead

citation needed

also hl lore is irrelevant because it was destroyed by the piece of shit known as half-life 2

>>14416878

a.k.a. he's not canon until they say he's canon

a.k.a. he's not fucking canon

>>14416832

race-x always looked a little retarded and nothing in half life was ever scary

>>14416907

you can go back to cuckchan.

>TFW no other fps "Feels" like Half-life

What is it that it get's right that no other shooter can get?

>>14418537

Its basic movement dynamics are just really fluid and fun for one thing. Have you played many map sets or mods for the game? Those'd scratch your itch if you haven't.

>>14416855

>>14416834

Borderlands 1 and its DLCs were excellent, the only weakness was Roland having a stupidly unbalanced tree.

That was it. It was perfect.

Then Borderlands 2 and Le MAYMEI Supervillainy shit, and weapons being entirely worthless after 3 level ups/it was impossible to buy good shit from the stores/ammo became pointlessly expensive because of retarded faggots and thus the entire point and desire fo the loots died up. And a franchise that could have been good became shit.

>>14420481

I found Borderlands 1 to be really boring. Borderlands 2 sucks as well but the first one was something I got tired of a few minutes after I picked up TK's stupid Listerine swirly gun but decided to slog through until I hit the next zone.

>>14416830

>Valve decides Hunt down the freeman can be canon instead

No one said this. HDTF is a fan game based off of an SFM movie.

>>14420481

Borderlands 1 is alright but it's anything but perfect. Story still isn't good even if it's far from the train wreck of BL2 and the gameplay is still slow. Also, the arena DLC is fucking garbage, and of course they crammed the bank in there instead of putting it in the base game like they should have.

>>14420525

>minutes after I picked up TK's stupid Listerine swirly gun but decided to slog through until I hit the next zone.

Shoud have kept on, for the immersion.

>>14420575

>Story still isn't good

It was refershing, along with the intro song. You are a mercenary doing what you are doing to put clothes on your back, food in your belly, and guns in your hands.

If you read the little mission quips at the bounty boards and stuff, it deepens the immersion.

>>14420643

nice

>>14417521

The fish things were. Though not really because of their look or design, just because big and fast fish enemies are scary when you can't see or maneuver well underwater.

>>14421298

Same cycle as Blizzard? A nearly a decade of goodwill from their customers, then afterwards a major shift.

>>14418537

>>14420399

Nerds. Play Quake 2. GoldSRC was iD Tech 2 with a coat of paint on top. Same exact movement down to the retarded sliding around.

>>14420481

>Bordermemes 1

>good

Pick one. Maybe the original concept could be both but what you got was pure shit.

>>14420481

>That was it. It was perfect.

It was boring shit.

>>14428588

I don't understand why anybody wants her to be canon. It's a cute character and all, but it's not like her being canon would do jack shit for Sonic, and it's not like Sonic has had a good track record with interesting canon characters (at best, they have porn-magnet furbait)

Maybe if she was in some Sonic Mania sequel, but other than that it would be shit.

>>14428629

>Caring about Persona canon

>When its canon that at least the last three games take place in the same timeline, even though the plot of Persona 5 nullifies the plot of Persona 3 , thus making the P3 protag's sacrifice meaningless.

>>14416855

2007 truly was the end of everything good, or at least the beginning of the end.

>>14420481

I thought they liked maymay games where you came from?

>>14416830

<After years of saying Opposing force and Adrian Shepard are not canon

<Valve decides Hunt down the freeman can be canon instead

[citation needed]

OF is an overrated trash anyway. People who like it fell for the "new content that contributes nothing to the gameplay" meme.

>>14428652

What purpose she would do? Besides lolicon and getting gangbanged?

>>14428588

Wouldn’t that conflict with eggman being a orphan?

>>14418076

good post

>>14420481

no it was horribly average and 2 is just more of the same

>>14416830

>he doesn't know that Portal confirms opposing forces as canon

>>14420481

>Borderlands

>Good

>Ever

The only good/enjoyable thing about the Borderlands series is Handsome Jack, and that's because he's the only character in the game whose dialogue wasn't entirely written by Anthony Burch.

>>14420481

>Borderlands

>perfect

>final boss is the embodiment of everything wrong with FPS boss design; a shoot-it-until-it-dies damage sponge that barely moves

>>14431029

Don't fucking remind me of that abomination. To make matters worse it's at the end of some really long dungeon with no checkpoints.

> go blind in the game with 2 friends

That boss was fucking awful.

>>14431271

I am out in an area with spotty network signal so I can't look up a more specific example, but there is an easier egg on a keyboard that spells out Shepard's name, implying he exists in the canon universe portal and half life share.

>>14428588

>sadly

She was a dumb, overrated meme character.

>>14431300

Even more bullshit is that boss is supposed to be the payoff for finally getting to and opening the vault, the central goal of the game, and the original concept of the game was that the vault would be the halfway point, with opening it adding a bunch of new alien shit to the loot pool. They stuck one of the weakest final bosses and endings ever where the entire second half of the game was supposed to be.

>>14432031

>there is an easier egg on a keyboard that spells out Shepard's name

that one might have been just coincidence, I seem to remember reading about it somewhere

HL OP is literally the best FPS ever made and not even F.E.A.R or DOOM can beat it. Except the final boss fight which was ass

>>14434591

BL2 did a few things right, like including more variety in environments and enemies but outside of that it fucked up almost everything especially things that BL1 got right which already isn't a lot.

>>14436060

>Except the final boss fight which was ass

The Gonarch fight is worse

And if you're doing it the fast way it's actually not that bad

Opposing Force was the bees knees

>>14438398

it was ok, some of the levels were shit and that ending was absolute garbage

>>14420481

Borderlands had shitty dungeons.

Borderlands 2 has a fundamentally broken system taken from Korean MMOs because Randy Pitchforkuphisownass wanted it to have real money trading and to make billions off of it.

>>14416840

CS:GO's getting a battle royal mode, and tf2 might, since now you can worldspawn weapons into the map for people to pickup.

>>14432031

>easter eggs are canon

>>14431262

>Let's make her into an overwatch asscancer meme, #DEWRITOS

Thanks for making me dislike her even more.

>>14438977

>Hunt down the freeman

What the shit?

>>14438383

never played opfor but i beat half-life on hard for the first time a month ago and the gonarch isn't even difficult, i only died two times and the second time was because i blew myself up

git gud

>>14439106

>What the shit?

It was released with Valve's official blessing. I have yet to see another company so blatantly spit in their costumer's faces like this.

>>14439661

The Gonarch isn't difficult it's just not a fun fight, you're basically unloading all your weapon in something that won't attack back, except in phase 3 where it spawns shit that you can just tank.

>>14438797

Can the Source engine even handle a battle royal mode?

>>14438383

It probably helped that I used an anarchy mechromancer, for whom the retardedly low-ammo guns served as a strength. But seriously, it was a fun as shit character.
