Too true. I'm not a fan, but the 6th form did it at school so we all had to watch. I was only 11 and none of it made any sense to me then. Or now, come to think of it. I have the phrase "Waiting for Godot" so firmly entrenched in my memory that the words 'waiting for' prompt an automatic reaction! :)
I had it at the equivalent of the last year of highschool as well, and it's been my favorite piece of literature ever since. I actually read the original French version, as I live in a French speaking place. Did you know that, despite being Irish, Samuel Beckett was fluent in French and wrote most of his works in this language, before translating them himself back into his native English?
I was going to say the same thing, HF3, they were more worried with getting Steam off the ground than taking care of the gamers, when the "episodes" came out I could see the end was near and thought it was a terrible idea.
Came here to say it as well. I think there are two dominant reasons that we won't be seeing HL3 anytime soon.
The first is that Valve would need to come up with an absolutely amazing game, in terms of graphics, story, and gameplay. The game has been hyped up for so long, that anything less than a 15/10 score would lead to disappointment from the community.
The second reason is that nobody at Valve really wants to head up the project. At Valve, you more or less work on what you want to work on. Since nobody is going to work on it, it's not going to get done.
I could die happy if I got to play HF3, but alas I doubt it will happen!! I feel kinda ripped off to be left in the lurch with no ending to the "story" Lol....
Just a minor thing, but your first reason is exactly what we where saying when the second wasn't coming around. And we know how that ended up. I do not believe hype to be a valid argument against HL3. Second one on the other hand, I'm pretty sure you're spot on.
I totally forgot about this! My fiancee loves that game and was frustrated that it wasn't available for the PC. However, once we got her laptop and installed it there she didn't worry about it any longer.

Godot.
Hands down the best answer in the thread! If you don't know Samuel Beckett's masterpiece play...
Edit : Probably the best MacGuffin in the history of literature.
You're too kind. :)

Just think if they did though, how amazing with the graphics today would HL3 be? I'm sure if they ever needed the money they would make a killing.
I want to believe that it'll come out with their/HTC's VR system. I'm not holding my breath, though.
