All this talk about HL2 reminds me again how much im looking forward to episode 3, if it ever comes out...

I'm looking forward to Ep3/HL3 a billion times more than ME4.

If only Mass Effect 3 had Half Life 3's development time lol. \\

Then we wouldnt get this rush job EA pushed out the door with a slapped on ME3 sticker on it

Half Life, the most overrated game series ever.

Allow me to use this quote as an entry point to this discussion. Respectfully, this is wrong. The first Half Life was a landmark in gaming. I don't even know what year it was - and yes, I suppose I'm an old gamer - but HL had a completely different approach to what you used to see in terms of storytelling and environmental design. Lets not forget this is a 1st person shooter, not a RPG. But you had a story that unfolded as the game progressed, and the environment offered a believable setting, a military complex that you had to escape from in the middle of the direst circumstances. Also, the enemy AI was really good (for the time), especially military opponents.

Nice post. HL was indeed a terrific game and broke new ground. HL2 was fine but I didn't write home about it.

Your explanation of the personal investment people make in ME I also agree with and explains well I think why people have had such a strong reaction to the end of ME3. Perhaps the EC will serve to heal some of these wounds.

BrookNone, thanks for your nice words. You're probably the only one who read my post!! )

You know, I'm as heartbroken as everyone else who's become disappointed with ME3. But I'm also tired of feeling negative, I just find this all very sad, for the gamers, and for all the nice, hard-working people that work at BioWare.

I think that some of the people at BW, with the highest level of responsability, addressed this issue with all the wrong moves and allowed the community to snowball out of control. I just hope that, in the end, what we all want is to enjoy this wonderful series, and that BW presents an EC that trully addresses the endings flaws and provides a better resolution for the trilogy.

I just wished BioWare had been more ambitious about it, and delivered a full-scale DLC with added/extended gameplay, even if we had to wait a few more months. If only they had been more down to earth and pragmatic, instead of assuming a defensive posture that came out as hostile to a lot of its fanbase.

But these are just my feelings. Not on topic, I know. Sorry.

Half-Life 2 is way overrated anyway.

I hope for your sake that you know how to sleep with your eyes open.

HL2 was not the conclusion of the storyline it was an installment of. Nor was it full of plot and thematic holes/inconsistencies and space magic.

One answer: They never said HL E2 would be the end. Lol at OP.

The word ''overrated' is overrated and overused.

 If you recall you managed to stop Dr Breen... and then G-Man freezes time, teleports in and the game ends.

It was only carried on in an EXPANSION pack Episode 1... which we all had to PAY FOR.

So IF IT is true, and DLC will reveal the TRUE ending, BioWare is certainly not the first to try it. 

Was there such a s***storm when HL2 ended so abruptly?

Duh, you said it yourself HL2 had no ending, whereas ME3 does and it sucks...See the difference

True.
