An Open Letter To Gabe Newell

[palshife_sakura]

Hey fatty. You big nerdy pig-person person you. Stop playing World of Warcraft and shoving Twinkies into your pie-hole and release Episode 3 already.

Love,
Palshife

P.S. The cake is a lie, because Gabe Newell ate it.

They have admitted the episode formula was a failure, they may just be releasing an entire HL3 more or less.

[palshife_sakura]

They may as well just call it that and repackage it as a "trilogy" of sorts. Provided it doesn't end up being in production Forever.

YES OF ALL THE VIDEO GAME COMPANIES OUT THERE LET US ALL GET MAD AT VALVE

MEANWHILE SQUARE'S LATEST INSTALLMENT OF A TIRED OLD FRANCHISE IS LITERALLY MORE CUTSCENE THAN GAME

[palshife_sakura]

Square I honestly just don't care about anymore, though. They've made it clear they're pretty much done telling interesting stories and selling games I'm remotely interested in. Just rehash every game in their roster and give more backstory to decent if plot-shaky seventh installments of fantasy games that fanboys like to masturbate to, and the next actually installment is little more than eyecandy loosely wrapped around a sort of fantasy world.

The JRPG as I knew and loved it is dead. Long live the JRPG.
