Portal

[sqrage]

This game is amazing. Valve is now offering a demo version of it via steam:

http://steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=app&AppId=410&cc=US


Download it. It's amazing. But the demo (and the game, I think) is wayyy too short. I beat the demo in like 10 minutes...literally.

I'm gonna go out and buy The Orange Box tomorrow or sometime soon.

I played it for 2 hours.

Im at the last level.

It is an epic game.

that about sums the game up.

I recently found out that it was titled 'Portal : First Slice', I also found out about a month ago that they 'accidently' announced a sequal..

Don't know when that's happening, but I can't wait ;P.

If you're getting the Orange Box, I recommend it through Steam again, it's cheaper there and probably one of the most updated games on Steam (they rarely update it for the console)

Also: The demo is pretty much half of the game, the game is also pretty short (21 levels + the last part(?))

I would get it, but it's too short

I will agree that it's awesome, though. I have a friend who got it about a month ago, and I got to play about 6ish levels into it, and it was fun around the later levels.

My favorite part is putting a portal on the roof and the floor below it, and jumping in the floor to see a never ending loop of portals.

I beat the entire game in like, two hours. Its a really good game, though, I love the idea of it. I also love the end song "Still Alive", it's great.

agreed. song was pretty awesome. its one of those games that stand out from the rest. (the challenges are freaking crazy, especially those posted on youtube. lvl 14 with 2 moves!, they use stuff like cameras to hold the door open, its crazy)

the (first part of) ending surpised me, as soon as i saw the fire pit and the upbeat music kicking in, i was like "oh shit..."

 

[Lobster]

do they make a version for wii?

(I doubt it, but better to ask then to never find out)

>>recently found out that it was titled 'Portal : First Slice'

I thought that was just the demo, I still think it is. And yea I think a sequel was officially announced now, but with a hit game like that you kinda know it's coming.

>>I would get it, but it's too short

If you get the Orange Box, you wont be getting ripped off cuz it has Half Life 2 and a lot of the expansions, which have a lot of play time and are also great. Team Fortress 2 is also a pretty good game. :thup:

>>I recommend it through Steam again

Yea, definitely getting it for comp. I don't even have any of the other consoles.

>>do they make a version for wii?

They don't.

I got Orange Box for the Xbox 360 because I like using that more than the computer.

 

[Jindo]

Team Fortress 2 is also a pretty good game.

Got it? My Steam ID is jindo565 if you're ever up for a game .

Also, you say that they recently 'officially' announced Portal 2? If so, that might be why they added First Slice to the Portal title, being the name of the demo is an idea but I've seen them advertise 'Get the demo of Portal: First Slice now!', just looks like they've renamed the game now.

Beat Portal 4 times over. Love the atmosphere and narrative. Dark and cold, yet at the same time funny and clever. A lot of LOL moments.

Takes a good 4 hours to beat too. Some of the later levels can be a real kicker.

 

[Monovertex]

Thread necromancy FTW, but I just finished the game and I have the Still Alive song on repeat right now . It is an AWESOME game. I really loved it, too bad it was so short.

"Maybe Black Mesa. That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance" lol .

The Weighted Companion Box was similar to the Little Sisters in BioShock

Spoiler

When you had to kill it.. *sobs*

 

[Monovertex]

I felt nothing when I had to burn it down D:. But, I think it was still alive. It's with the cake and all that orbs at the final scene.

 

[Cornface]

Yeah, the game was pure win. I hope they are making a Portal 2 for the release of Half-Life 3,

It's true, google it ;O.

 

[Cornface]

It's true, google it ;O.

Wow, that's great.

 

[XXXconanXXX]

Euthanizing the Weighted Companion Cube was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done in a video game.

Seriously, took me like 30 minutes to just decide and let it go.

 

[Monovertex]

It's true, google it ;O.

It's on Wikipedia, too.

I managed to finish the game today in 1 hour and 8 minutes .

I'm no less tempted to make a level pack now ;O.
