Portal 2 - Out This Week!

[MindyMcfly]

Rah, cant wait. Multiplayer Portal...

I havnt decided yet if I should buy it. I probably wont unless valve does frequent updates with more levels and puzzles, cause let's be honest, you can only do the puzzles once.

If I do the co-op with a buddy, and we race through all the levels within a couple of hours, I call it a waste of 50 euros.

You can do the puzzles many times. I did them many times with the original portal :)

The cop out is achievmentes yet again... so reply value is in the challenges.

Yeah, the old portal had a few very tricky advanced maps which added quite a bit of replay value.

I should dig out my orange box out and have a blast at portal as i dont see what all the fss is about

[celestial]

Adding achievements is the cheapest and most lazy way to add 'replay value'.

And as for replaying the old levels... If I did something once, I remember exactly how I did it, so it's no fun at all. Tales of monkey Island has the same problem, you can only finish it once.

Interesting, Valve are pushing indie games linked with a way to get Portal 2 earlier. Clever marketing?

[celestial]

Ofcourse it is, since a lot of people buy those games just get portal 2 a WHOLE DAY sooner. Valve doesn't give a BLEEP about indy games though, I'm pretty sure they got some kind of deal with the manufacturer of most of those games anyway.

I bet they get a cut on their steam market :)

The "buy stuff for your robot" store is a bit of a rip-off.

Rip-off? More like total-waste-of-any-form-of-currency.

Took me 6.5 hours to finish. Cool game. Unique ending, didn't expect that.
