Portal was a good idea but it was short, kinda boring and the whole cake is a lie thing is a dumb internet joke. I'd buy Portal 2 if it was $10, just like how much the first game was worth.

Title: Portal 2
Post by: rtil on April 17, 2011 07:58 AM
i guess

but i just feel like if a game like that was made by any company other than valve it wouldn't have such a huge following

it's not really acceptable to call a game that is easy and boring except for 1 level a solid game

i suppose the whole "portal" concept might have felt fresh at the time the game was released, but for me, it wasn't. it was just a more polished version of a game i had already played
Title: Portal 2
Post by: billy on April 17, 2011 11:12 AM
portal 1 was too meandering and dull but 2 looks a lot more interesting from all the videos. not to mention portal 1 came included with team fortress 2 and half-life 2 episode 2, i wasn't really looking forward to it at all until i'd played it. was more like a nice little surprise than anything.

one good gimmick does not a good game make btw

Post by: Shida on April 17, 2011 02:53 PM
For once I am in disagreement with a lot of you guys, I enjoyed Portal and didn't really find any of it boring, not even through a second play. Maybe I just enjoy listening to increasingly psychopathic computer systems and running through laboratories too much. Granted some levels were a bit annoying, but there's always levels like that in puzzle games.

I'm just really sad that I can't play Portal 2 when its released cause of upcoming exams in shizzle. I hope I can manage to avoid spoilers.

Post by: cipher on April 17, 2011 10:38 PM
In all honesty, it's kind of hard to be rough on portal 1. In reality it was just made by a really small team and meant to be a fun little supplement to the Orange Box. Nobody expected it to turn into what it is now.

Although if Portal 2 sucks somehow, then it'll be a lot easier to hate.


I'm not sure if my wording makes sense here, but you probably get what I mean.

I don't have it, but thinking back to Portal 1. The first time I played it, it took me.. I'm guessing somewhere between 2 and 3 hours to beat (maybe a little less). Since then I've beat it twice, and both times it took me like, 40 minutes. It's just one of those games

Loved it, just beat the single player campaign

yup it was short, ~4.5 hours for me
I was constantly laughing through out the game. Unlike the first portal, this one is hilarious. [spoiler]I stayed at the defective turret assemble line for like 5 minutes laughing[/spoiler]
Lots of awesome giant environments to explore and look at
story was fun and interesting
Wheatley is a beast I love that guy

I say go buy this game

whos up for some co-op?!

i am experiencing the same problem, it crashes like every half hour (although that might have something to do with the fact that it's not a legit copy!)

Despite that, i have beaten the game anyways and i really have to say that the turning point of the game was fucking fantastic and the ending was amazing as well.

Great game overall, i really liked it. The humor is great, too.

Haven't played the co-op yet though.

Post by: billy on April 23, 2011 12:24 PM

This is probably one of my favorite games right now. It's just as good as the first. The writing is unmatched and the way the story unfolds is really spectacular even from a literary standpoint. Thankfully there was only one or two cake jokes. I suspect even Valve was tired of it. I don't know why that one caught on, because everything GLaDOS said at the end was so much more hilarious.

Post by: Sinitron on April 27, 2011 12:08 AM
It's about 6-7 hours long, co-op is around 4-5. This is assuming you don't know any of the solutions, in which case it is probably a bit shorter. People who claim it's 2.5 hours, it's tiddled with dumb potato jokes or that it's a console port are dumb, though the menu interface is inferior to the old one because it tries to be fancier. Co-op has limited replayability, though they might release some extra maps or whatever I guess, and they're gonna put out an SDK.

Overall, it's good. Ending theme wasn't as catchy or memorable as 'Still Alive', but good either way, and the game is fairly pretty though I wasn't impressed by the vegetation, although it's fairly minor and doesn't play a role after the earliest stages of the game. Definitely worth playing through.

It's also not 50€, psi is full of shit. Even if it was, it would still be worth it compared to the other garbage that's been released so far this year, and I can definitely see it getting GOTY unless there's some other surprise in store or Duke Nukem Forever turns out to be fucking amazing instead of mediocre.
