Brandi_B Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Just finished (off work early due to weather). Fantastic game. I'm a potato. I really loved the Salt Mine portion of the game, it was a LOT like playing Half Life 2 with a portal gun (and no enemies of course). Some huge jumps too, those were fun. I'm ready for Portal 3 and Half Life 3 now plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azatoth Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Do I need a super computer to run this game adequately? I don't need to have all the bells and whistles, just so it looks nice. I've got a Athlon II x3, 4gb RAM and GFX460. if by gfx460 you mean nvidia gtx460 you will be able to run it with all the bells and whistles. Yeah, GTX460. Sweet, will get this at some point, maybe if Steam has a good deal on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Valve has also said Portal 2 might be their last single-player game, instead focusing on online-only multiplayer experiences. There is portal DLC coming next month I think (or very soon)... The good thing is Valve seems to be ramping up their production, as they are bringing out Hydrophobia for PS3 (was a PC/360 only game), with extras. Anyone play it? Is it any good? Don't mean to derail this thread from Portal 2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 That would be a real shame if they stopped making single player games. Not too many games have a story mode of this caliber any more, Valve and Rockstar are really the only two companies I still buy games from. Haven't tried the co-op mode yet but I'm really enjoying the single player mode. As for the game itself, I'm just shy of the end right now and it's fantastic. Lots of humor as always, a clever story, and the puzzles are challenging without being frustrating. The only part that annoyed me a bit was the underground part when there were no puzzles. The design in these parts is gorgeous and it is reminiscent of HL2 as someone said earlier. But it's easy to retread the same ground for a while looking for a usable surface that you can only spot from one angle in just the right spot.

Anyone play it? Is it any good? Hydrophobia isn't a Valve game, reception was average to poor. It's hard to say whether they've ramped up production again. Nothing is known about the current active projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 just finished it. love how the game makes you feel like a genius at times, but something about the pace of it didn't sit right with me, maybe cus i played it all in two sittings. or maybe im just sad it's over hah.

Don't mean to derail this thread from Portal 2... no no no no no . they didnt say anything about it being their last game with single player. they said it would be the last game with an 'isolated single player experience'.. you can interpret that how you want. but i think if they released half life 3 as a co op game that would be extremely dumb. what i interpret that as is that portal 2 will be the last game they release that involves a character who is alone for 90% of the game.

I only think that because supposedly valve was originally playing with the idea of #2 being a prequel about aperture in the early days before the portal gun was developed, using some other interesting new game mechanic valve had come up with. I'm thinking maybe time travel puzzles or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Just finished it, totally loved it. Felt very short but I did play it through in two four-hour sessions so I could have paced myself a bit more. Fuck that though, it sucked me in. Looking forward to trying out the co-op and replaying single player mode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Half Life 3/Portal 3 crossover mega game next plz imo PORTAL STORMS INNIT Half Life 2 Ep 2 is like a slideshow on my comp, so I may not actually get to play through it or Portal 2 until 2017 or so. Hopefully by then the aforementioned mega game will be released and I can play it all in one week long period of total unproductivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscillik Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Portal 2 DLC coming and it's apparently free for all platforms, including xbox360 (which is surprising since Microsoft wanted Valve to charge for DLC beforehand) hopefully this will make up for the levels and content that was cut from the game.

Npoess Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Awesome!.. Finally microsoft got their head out of their assess. It's so stupid to force companies to charge for their content, if they don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
