half life 2 came out after banjo-tooie
yet somehow, half life 3 became the big internet "franchise that will never get a 3rd game" meme
not banjo-threeie, which we've objectively been waiting longer for (no motherfucker nuts and bolts doesn't count)
now half life 3 is going to release long before we ever get a new banjo game that properly follows up bk/tooie
It fucking hurts my soul.
