Overwatch is a particularly successful Team-Fortress-like

I'd like a HL3, but not yet another competitive pvp game. So not sure if that would be the right approach if they can't even hit the same target audience.

I might actually have some sort of cardiac event.

This seems reasonably different than the headline implies. It's a hero shooter, in that there are classes based on heroes (like Team Fortress 2 as well). The gameplay is more moba it sounds like. I think I've only played one other moba shooter, and it failed quickly, so that's different already.

It's not a copy of OW, and even if it were it could still innovate. Half Life might be a "Doom Clone", but it did stuff no one had done before. There's plenty of innovation potential without inventing a new genre. Even if you do create a new genre, it's probably still just evolution of existing things. No one ever has an original idea. It's always inspired by their environment.

Won’t hurt to give it a shot, but I’ll be cautiously optimistic.

Have you played A Plague Tale (innocence, then requiem)? It's one of the best story driven games I've ever played. It's entirely linear, so plot urgency doesn't feel artificial like it does in open world games.

Same. Something I can play, save anywhere to deal with life, and pick back up when time allows. I was one of those weirdos who really enjoyed Doom 3 when it came out (with the ducttape mod; that was one mechanic I didn't like) and grew up on old Commodore, Amiga, and PC single-player games and NES/SNES/Genisis RPGs. I want that again.

Never, at this point half life 3 failing would do more damage to the steam sales platform than half life 3 succeeding could make in a million years

Rip, in EU they cannot force targeting cookies so we can see

The Newscast is not the images. It's an annoying video they embed in all articles and then floats when you scroll. I actually have set an adblock rule to block that shit.

As for the images, for now hotlinking to Twitter images is possible, so:

At this point, we have some absolutely impressive Portal 2 mods that, in my opinion, definitely make up for not having Portal 3. We've got Tag (the paint gun mod), Thinking With Portals (a short one that gives you the ability to create a clone thing that copies recorded actions), and I've been playing through one I just found out about called Revolution that is pretty cool so far.

I personally like to think that the fans have done a good enough job at creating mods and maps that a Portal 3 would be redundant.

Medic: "Later."

No, no, that's not how this works. No 3s, them's the rules.

Team Fortress: Alyx

I can't wait to be called new and exciting racial slurs as I lose the game for my team.

Seeing the Steam store lately I'm honestly surprised there isn't a porn shooter. Imagine if someone went all in making an OW ripoff, but committed to making adult skins. Think about how much money that could make.
