Topic: Well I hope you're happy, Gaben ~ A Complaints thread

[Lumi Kløvstad]

All these years later and I'm still mad that the Half-Life series killed the SiN franchise.
And now it looks like neither story will ever be finished. SiN Episodes: Emergence ends on a cliffhanger, and guess what? So does Half-Life 2: Episode 2. Ironic that the two franchises who set out to reinvent shooters forever will never actually tell the ends of their stories. While I have largely come to peace with the fact that Half-Life 2: Episode 3
and Half-Life 3 will never happen, I'm still furious that it had to take SiN Episodes down with it -- it was fun as hell and seemed like it was building up to something epic, and the silly 90's action hero cyberpunk angle of the SiN franchise was hard to beat, and still is impossible to find a decent surrogate for.

I hope you're happy, Gaben.

You killed the most innovative shooters of our times.

Can we get a do-over?

In memory of an aborted but promising franchise taken from us too soon, have a trailer.

I have no idea what SiN is, so most of the above means nothing to me.

But is it official that there won't be another Half-Life?  A sequel would be guaranteed to make money no matter how shitty it is, so I can't see Valve never releasing another entry.  Besides the fact that Episode 2 ended on a cliffhanger and fans have been clamoring for closure ever since.

I'm familiar with Half-Life though I've never played it. Bit I'll also admit that I've never heard of SiN before until now.
