Mah heart mah soul

I'm not really into Half life though. I tried a demo once but got to scared

Trust me the 3rd one really feel flat, no one liked it. There's literally no way it could have began to live up to it's hype. So they're absolutely fucking with you.
The 5th one is where it's at.

Can you clarify this?
Isn't the 3rd game already out and we're currently waiting on the 5th?
