Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / June 2006what will the next episode be called?
after the imaginatively titled Half Life 2: Episode 1, what will Valve be calling the next game in the series? > after the imaginatively titled Half Life 2: Episode 1, what will Valve be > calling the next game in the series? "The Frantabulous Contraptions of the Inimitably Most Cromulent Gordon "Hero and World Saving" Freeman and his band of Merry Helpful Helpers" I know, because Gabe came to me in a dream. /shudder > after the imaginatively titled Half Life 2: Episode 1, what will Valve be > calling the next game in the series?

I think Schrodinger's got it right.. wait, scrub that... I *hope* Schrodinger's got it right!!

Actually it's already failed - the idea is to gradually reduce the product without no-one noticing (so long as folks are regularly buying - the difference is obvious to those who buy rarely). And from what I can gather there's a lot of Valve customers annoyed at what they're now getting for their money, so they've been caught out already. /mel/ > Actually it's already failed - the idea is to gradually reduce the product > without no-one noticing (so long as folks are regularly buying - the > difference is obvious to those who buy rarely).

Yes but they were made aware what they were buying i.e. legth wise, so can't argue really. >Actually it's already failed - the idea is to gradually reduce the product >without no-one noticing (so long as folks are regularly buying - the >difference is obvious to those who buy rarely). And from what I can gather >there's a lot of Valve customers annoyed at what they're now getting for >their money, so they've been caught out already. What are they annoyed about? How has what they bought been diminished since they bought it?

From the thread title I am guessing HL2:EP1, and that costs $20 (not pounds) via Steam and has taken me over 4 hours so far to play. The RRP certainly isn't anywhere like £49.99.

Nevertheless there's at lot less game for your money than previously. /mel/ >Nevertheless there's at lot less game for your money than previously. Yes, it is probably worse bang for the buck than HL2 was (though like I said, it is quite a bit cheaper on Steam), but as someone who really enjoyed HL2 and wants to see the story continue, I much prefer them to release regular episodes at a premium than have to wait ~5 years for them to write a new engine and go through all the feature creep delays that entails so they can release it all in HL3. It is even good for this and other HL communities that there is something new to talk about once in a while.
