ok so you guys know how everyone's been waiting for half-life 3 for like, forever? well, it turns out that chet faliszek, one of the writers who worked on half-life 2 and other valve games, has zero interest in writing it. and honestly, i kind of get it. i mean, the pressure to deliver a game that lives up to the hype must be insane.



faliszek basically says that he's not into dealing with all the deep lore and backstory that comes with a game like half-life. he's more of a character writer, and he likes to focus on how people react to things in the moment, rather than getting bogged down in all the details. and i think that's really cool, because it's a totally different approach to writing. but at the same time, it's not hard to see why he wouldn't want to touch a game like half-life 3 with a ten-foot pole - the fans are super passionate, and they can get pretty intense when it comes to the lore and the story.



it's also kind of funny that faliszek mentions how he doesn't want to work on any sequels, because he thinks they're a nightmare. and i can see why - i mean, when you're working on a sequel, you've got to deal with all the expectations of the fans, and you've got to try to live up to the original game. it's a lot of pressure, and it can be really overwhelming. and faliszek just doesn't seem like the kind of guy who wants to deal with all that stress and drama.



anyway, it's pretty clear that faliszek is not going to be writing half-life 3 anytime soon. and you know what? i thinkRead more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
