exactly, value knows very well we are dying for Half Life 3 yet, its not like they are shoving teasers in our faces, left for deads are great games, with out them we wouldnt have seen dead island or natzi zombies in cod, soo lets see L4d3
Honestly, I believe Valve is working on Half Life 3 right now, and I think they are being really quiet about it, knowing that it will be (no joke) the best game ever. I also think they are taking their sweet ass time and won't announce it until its either completely finished or nearing the final stages.
No, I am probably blessed to not feel "hype" for a game. My favorite series of all time, Mass Effect, gets it's final sequel out (with Shepard in it) on my birthday, and I still feel like I don't "WANT IT SO FUCKIN BAD ZOMG". I can live without it. I just don't want to. Same with Half-Life 3. =)
But think about it, doesn't it make you anxious? Thinking that every day Half Life 3 isn't released you have that chance of getting hit by a car, or having a heart attack and never getting to see the day Half Life 3 is released.. Its depressing...
I would like to see Half Life 3 first, or at least a release date, as I have yet to beat Half Life 2, but thoroughly enjoyed Half Life. Left 4 Dead was great, but it kind of lost its spark amongst my friends
I kind of feel like HL3 is gonna be the next DNF. The legacy the Half Life series has left behind will prevent if from ever living up to the hype.../sacrilege
I think its different because every one knew duke nukem forever was gonna suck. Gabe Newell is too respectable to let that happen. I'm pretty sure he'll deliver.
Neither has been announced yet, and given their amazing DLC system, L4D3 would probably have DLC for L4D1&2. That said, I don't think Valve plans on releasing HL3 anytime soon--sooner or later it'll become the next Duke Nukem.
Personally I loved Left 4 Dead, the first. However by the second it just feels like the exact same thing to me. After a certain point it's just not fun and it's entirely repetitive. The versus mode was never really a great deal of entertainment to me, but if they found a way to make it more enjoyable I'd gladly play it. If it were to come out before Half-Life 3 then I'd probably be a little disappointed, but I don't see it as a big deal.
