Because people didn't seem to understand that several sources said that HL3 was NOT going to be announced at TGA. I wasn't disappointed that it didn't appear because it WOULDN'T. People just grasp at the tiniest of leaks and blow them out of proportion for no reason. I'm a HUGE Half Life fan, but even I know that Valve just doesn't announce at big events, they announce it on steam at a random day. Like, did people forget what happened when they announced Artifact? Also with the Steam Machine coming, I think it makes more sense for HL3 to be announced and packaged with the Steam Machine.
Yeah, people were told it wouldnt be there, now I mean I was still rooting for hl3 being there. But I mean I knew it wouldnt be there, but like what if it was :3
I mean, no doubt it would be AMAZING if it did come out and I have to admit, I did get baited by the Keighley's Megaman intro, but even if it did get announced, I think it would be so big and so hype that it would just create a GTA 6 effect: Everything else would be irrelevant because what everyone would be talking about is HL3 being announced. Yes, even the E33 sweep.
As part of the Mega Man community, I'm glad that most of our guys are taking the situation pretty chill. I hope the Half Life community gets a new game, whether it's Half Life 3 or a project within the universe.
I understand your feelings, because being a fan of Capcom games other than Resident Evil and Street Fighter is really hard, as the person in the comments pointed out. We were really looking forward to our game and we're genuinely happy to receive the long-awaited announcement. I want this situation to cool down sooner because it's kinda confusing and weird to put it mildly.
from what i know, HLX is probably like Silksong, really fun to develop, so much so that it gets stuck in development heaven because they probably keep adding more features and forgetting to release it like with Silksong. From what i know, VALVe treats their dev base good
Half-Life fans are truly not alone, we're together with Portal fans, Team Fortress fans, Ricochet fans, Titanfall fans, Bloodborn fans, ceiling fans and so on
As someone who hates Black Mesa and prefers the real Half-Life 1; Black Mesa is 10 times better than either of the Half-Life 2 Episodes.
(And c'mon, it's a commercial game being sold on a storefront operated by Valve, at this point it's basically a licensed product within the IP that just happens to be made by fans)
We were heroes of game industry once. Look at us now. Ready to rip and tear boys and girls, men and women, who finally got their long-awaited game they had no hope for.
I'll be real I don't get the targeting of megaman.i get it's mostly memeing but feels like a odd pull. Is it that it's been a while since a prior one and it's people going IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MEEEEE
Fuck you megaman. (Thanks bro we appreciate it. Hopefully soon the prophecy will be fulfilled with us getting the announcement, much respect to the megaman community)
I mean, this is Capcom we're talking about. It wouldn't be the first time they've cancelled a Megaman game. And c'mon, announcing a game like this, scheduled to release in 2027, was odd as hell. Point is: I don't trust 100% Capcom getting this game to the goal line.
Worth noting that 2027 is the 40th anniversary of the series and there have been comments that this isnt the last megaman related thing in the pipeline
They likely want this in early 2027 to kick of a big 40th anniversary celebration
You know what? I'm happy for them, even now in this dark times, we can still try to enjoy Megaman and maybe, just maybe, HL3 and Steam Machine could come together in a bundle.
Always remember you are not alone. Subreddits such as r/silksong and r/megaman understand your pain and are here to help, as we have overcome our insanity and have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. All you have to do is ask we will try our best to offer advice to make the wait just a little bit less lonely. And if we can make even one person feel just a little bit better about the wait, we will be satisfied.
I mean to be fair, valve makes all of their announcements themselves. There's no reason they would share the attention with anything else, much less pay a show like the game awards for space in the program to announce it.
As someone who was expecting half life 3 fr and freak out at ANYTHING that could be a HLX reference, i love to see a new megaman game and i really liked the goty this year, the announcements were pretty cool compares to other years

I'm a huge Mega Man fan, but HL has never been something that caught my interest. Still, I'll be routing for you guys to get the legendary 3-quel that got away. You have our community's support :)
We don't hate megaman. We hate that it was announced by such scale as the last reveal while being the least anticipated thing of the whole show. Like really, Geoff just ragebaited all of us to a reveal of a game from a series that barely quarter of viewers even know AS A CLOSER
Megaman CAN ONLY WATCH IN HORROR, INTRIGUE, OR BOTH AS HE SEES A WORLD EAT ITSELF. HE CANNOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE ANTS THAT DEVOURER THE MASSES NOR CAN HE DISTRIBUTE THE ANTS AND THEIR APPETITE AWAY FROM THE SUFFERING AND THE FOOLS! HE IS AN OBSERVER, AS MUCH AS HE CLAIMS OTHERWISE IS ALL NOTHING BUT GOOD WILL, AND ONE CANNOT SURVIVE ON GOOD WILL.
Thank you blue man
I have come to terms with the fact Half Life 3 has not been announced and my insanity is not healthy.
It is up to this community to come to their senses and have patience
Wtf happened, why does everyone hate megaman
the one last reveal before the one last reveal at TGA bamboozled everyone into thinking thats half life logo
i thought it was blue shift part 2 :(
How, the music was nowhere NEAR half life, yall are fucking deaf or smth to legit think it was gonna be half life
idk man it was early in the morning i wasnt even watching
Nah you fine, I just don't understand why everyone was so angry at MegaMan lol

It's called Hopium
Megaman got a big trailer at The Game Awards that people thought was going to be Half-Life 3.
you could say that BLUE SHIFTed Freeman's mood

Damn, that's so cute. I'm sure it will not take long. HLX is a thing.
Half Life alX 2 you mean???
Listen here guy
I'm not your guy, buddy
im not your buddy friend
I'm not your friend, pall.
I'm not your "pall", amigo.
i though i was going to play Half Life Xen with my beloved Xengorilla
No its gonna be a handjob simulator
We will get there, man. We will get our Silksong moment.
from what i know, HLX is probably like Silksong, really fun to develop, so much so that it gets stuck in development heaven because they probably keep adding more features and forgetting to release it like with Silksong. From what i know, VALVe treats their dev base good
True, true. I heard that as well.
Also MY GOODNESS! Wtf just happened in the halflife sub??? WTF?
I wasnt expecting a digital ritual. LIKE AT ALL!
And thats coming from me
they're going insane over the fact that the game awards host hyped it up that there's gonna be a game related to HL, but megaman was shown instead
I know! wait, this is the half life sub, WTF is going on with this sub??
Also, yea... I honestly think it is a pleasant surprise.
Though yea... it was disappointing. But I don't think r/Megaman deserves the flak, even in a humorous way.
Half-Life fans are truly not alone, we're together with Portal fans, Team Fortress fans, Ricochet fans, Titanfall fans, Bloodborn fans, ceiling fans and so on
Also put Duke Nukem fans there.
Jazz Jackrabbit fans, Commander Keane fans, Crazy Taxi fans
klonoa fans to an extent
Fzero, Jet set radio
Quake fans too
Me, a ridge racer fan
DEUS EX FANS WITH JENSENS UNFINISHED TRILOGY
Star Wars republic commando fans (and every old star wars games fans waiting for another game from their series)
Jazz Jackrabbit fans: “there are dozens of us!”
Sega did announce a new Crazy Taxi tho
Darkstalkers fans
Sorry man, but I'm afraid Duke will 100% get canceled in this day and age.
Don't forget Prey 2.
TES fan here, it’s been so long since Skyrim. I’m dying over here for TES VI lol
And yes, I’ve been dying for HL3 too lol
Now it is our turn to have the Silksong fan experience
We’ve been having the silksong fan experience for half a decade before Hollow knight came out.
My bedroom fan too
The Command and Conquer fans are with you
Don’t forget Fossil Fighters and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
Ricochet has fans?
Artifact fans
You, just might be the only thing keeping the sanity of these people together
((jokes aside this art kicks ass, its so good!! Love the emotion, and the cute drinks. Great details :D))
You know who's the real enemy? RAM prices and whoever pushed Titanfall 2 devs into doing another hero shooter MOBA
AI IS THE ENEMY
And I'm a friend of AI...
TRUE
Lioned like a spoken
Seriously how do you go from Titanfall 2 to Valorant with extra steps?
and E33
sad crowbar sound "it's ok gordon, it will happen soon, I'm sure of it" compassionate crowbar sounds
this is sweet, we must not give up, the mega man community eventually got their new game
only took 7 years for a new mega man to be announced. when was the last non vr half life game?
I mean Black Mesa full release was a huge thing in 2020 even if it's not an official Half Life game. We ate good in 2020 im ngl
So we've resorted to pretending that fan games, even if they're really good, are a new release
literally not what i said
As someone who hates Black Mesa and prefers the real Half-Life 1; Black Mesa is 10 times better than either of the Half-Life 2 Episodes.
(And c'mon, it's a commercial game being sold on a storefront operated by Valve, at this point it's basically a licensed product within the IP that just happens to be made by fans)
yeah valve's endorsed it which tells me that they may not see it as a replacement for HL1 but it sure as hell is viewed as worthy
Facts man, we should be happy for eachother, we're both a similar boat. And the art genuinely is great, very well done!
This is very good art!
Great artwork mate. At this point I’m wondering if the Ace Combat fans are gonna console everyone here as well lol.
Mate we’re already going feral I don’t think we will be much help
Finally, some good food. Really wholesome and refreshing from all the other satanic rituals post.
Billions must be friends.
We were heroes of game industry once. Look at us now. Ready to rip and tear boys and girls, men and women, who finally got their long-awaited game they had no hope for.

Being a fan of Capcom series besides Street Fighter and Resident Evil is a burden, but one we bear with pride
Worth noting that 2027 is the 40th anniversary of the series and there have been comments that this isnt the last megaman related thing in the pipeline
They likely want this in early 2027 to kick of a big 40th anniversary celebration
I see, that makes a whole lot of sense
Comment (by me)
You’re right, Geoff is the enemy. Megaman is our mutual benefactor.
finally, megaman fans not bashing half life and half life fans not bashing megaman
make love, not war!!!!
Looks good.
(I still hate him)
Aww, that's cute
Megaman Announced but not Half Life......(Sigh) 😔
Make love not war
Thank you little blue man, this is really sweet
This rocksman
Why did this make me actually cry
Okay, what the fuck is going on?
1: Valve doesn't need to wait for any mainstream gaming convention to announce new stuff. Gabe is really that big both metaphorically and literally.
2: We have waited 18 years, what is a year or two more?
Half life 3 is never happening guys.. move on like the rest of us did in 2010 or so
Now make one where Gordon is beating the shit out of him with a crowbar
what did megaman do?
[ Removed by Reddit ]
godon
Good work, great art
Lovely
aaw, what a wholesome art ❤️
The funny thing is it was obvious it would not be at TGA
ive been waiting for megaman legends 3 for a long time too so as a half life fan and megaman fan i get it.
Despair administered
there was a streamer that was reacting to the reveal and one of his friends played the Half life sound and he was so mad that he was pranked
Change Megaman to Volnutt & it'd more fitting.
or grey / ashe!
Now im waiting for mega man x half life art works
Bet that be epic ngl.
we got hoed
You know what? I'm happy for them, even now in this dark times, we can still try to enjoy Megaman and maybe, just maybe, HL3 and Steam Machine could come together in a bundle.
Mega man legends 3 fans know how you feel maybe even worse cuz it's for sure won't ever happen
Honest question, why was it ever gonna be half life 3?
Make Phoenix Wright dir next to them. :(
Kai leng and Tron?
I’m glad Barney finally got Gordon that beer he owed him… can’t forget that unspoken detail

new fanfic idea: Gordon Freeman falls in love with megaman, breaks up with Barney Calhoun and has sex with megaman
we should be like the armored core fans and be glad their neighbor got something
😢
As someone who was expecting half life 3 fr and freak out at ANYTHING that could be a HLX reference, i love to see a new megaman game and i really liked the goty this year, the announcements were pretty cool compares to other years
Half life 3 will never happen, it'd break the core tenet of Valve not being able to count to 3
Id push that blue piece of shit off the building
Megaman did not ask to be over hyped, he didn’t want to deceive us
Happy to not have a HL3 made on unreal engine by people who have nothing to do with the previous games.
I feel like this is the only sane thing I have seen last I checked this subreddit ever since that announcement. Also, nice art I love it.
Your art is very expressive, i love it
" compassion is a rarity in the fevered pitch of battle "

Thabk you
nice
COMPASSION? COMPASSION! THEY TOOK EVERYTHING FROM US IT WAS OUR DAY NOT THEIRS!
r/MegaMan mod here, this post is really sweet, and I want you to know I really appreciate this. I hope all of you get a new game soon as well :).
Blue Man consoles Orange Man
Gordon push him
