All these years weren't enough for you guys to cope with HL3 never going to be made?
Seeing the plot posted should have you at the acceptance point, not at the rage point.

The current era of internet with the five stages of grief:

Denial > Anger > Depression > Anger > Bargaining > Anger
 
i'm cool with that half life (non) ending, sounds like it could've been an interesting game

kind of reminds me of further setting up this idea of gordon as argie comic's the eternaut, traveler in space and time looking for alyx or whatever

i'm glad valve decided to lay it to rest, no more jokes or mentions or whatever, call it dead for dead it is

Valve didn't lay this to rest tho, apparently the NDA Marc signed 10 years ago just expired.
 
The true dick move, never coming out and saying it's not coming, we're done with Half Life. I wonder if someone will say something now.

Kinda hope we can at least expect a blog post about "why it didn't happen" but I don't expect anything

they have essentially done so by not talking about it for years now

they used to toy with expectations and jokes and shit, nowadays they're just quiet about it
 
Secret of Mana Steam page

... and it's region locked for me.

So it's coming?!
40$/40€ tho apparently. On the 'buy it in a sale eventually'-list it goes. Still haven't even tried Setsuna...

I'm going to go with "it's not up yet". SteamDB lists it as Unknown App 637670.
I figured it was either that or they wanted to regionblock Australia and mistakenly selected Austria, because as we all know, there's only a 1 syllable difference between those two with japanese pronunciation.
 
Remake of Secret of Mana!? Hells yeah! Man I loved that game, imported it from the US day one back in the day, cost me an arm and a leg but it was so worth it, I pretty much spent an entire week playing nonstop in coop. I've been meaning to go back to it and play through it again but I'll just wait for the remake.

Play setsuna already
Imo it is pretty underwhelming and feels uninspired in some points
Still i hope their next gamenis better

That's where I am right now, I'm not in rage..i'm only sad. Time to move on
 
The ending itself doesn't give any closure at all and knowing that Alyx was probably being set up to be the protagonist going forward makes the fact that none of this will ever happen even more depressing, since it's a character I really love.

So yeah, thanks Marc for giving us a glimse into what could've been, but the story will stay unresolved forever, in a franchise that contains some of the best games ever made which have sold many millions of copies and belongs to a publisher with almost unlimited resources.
 
Yo JaseC, how can one wishlist a game on Steam without accessing the page?

We'll likely see the Eng. release announcement some time later. I will give them a little credit for putting up a JP Steam page at least.

I thought changing the currency to yen would help, but it didn't
 
What ??
What DLC ? I bought the game at launch and I know nothing about that.

I'd guess it's the "special item bundle" mentioned in the GOG news post.

Go to a store page of something else, note the app ID, open your browser's web dev console (F12 in Firefox), and input this, substituting appid with the actual app ID:

Code:
javascript:AddToWishlist( appid);

Hm... it didn't work. I tried with another game and it worked

Yeah, apparently it doesn't work for games whose store pages aren't available (I couldn't add Worlds Adrift). Looks like your only option there is to connect to a VPN and temporarily change your store region.

I have the items from the bundle but it's not listed as DLC on steam. So I'm guessing it's included in the steam version.

Either way it's just some face plates and consumables, nothing really important.

The apps are in the package but aren't displaying yet as they're still private. Said package was replaced with one that doesn't have them, so the items are most definitely not in the game by default (that and the GOG news post says "free for a limited time").

Edit: As implied would be the case, the bundle is now available separately on GOG. Crisis potentially averted. ;)

Those are some bad value DLCs. 7€ for a bunch of consumables and visual accessories? 10€ for what is essentially level boosters? Yikes. Hopefully that money goes at least directly into the localization of the Crossbell games :P

I need to check which of those were included in the launch edition when I get home. The 7€ pack I know for sure, but I'm not entirely sure about the Shining Pom pack, but I think it was.
Wish the extra costumes would have been included instead, they look great :(
 
The leaked script for the Episode 3 sounded interesting, I hope nos people Just accept the series is dead and stops asking for HL3 in every Valve related thread, we should move and start to ask for Stars of Blood.
