Anyone play the game Portal? I recently got it for the PC and beat it the day I bought it from Steam, it took 4 hours from beginning to end with dying 2 times.

I really liked the game and was just curious if anyone else plays the game.

Also, the cake does exist, and you can noclip to it, just load up the last level or the boss fight, then no clip on the very bottom room. Theres the cake and the companion cube.

Portal was good...but like you said, any joe can beat it in just a few short hours. I never got stuck and died once from a turret. The advanced challenged were way too damn easy and the other challenges were probably the best thing about it.

Other than those damned "Step" ones.

I don't think the game was long enough to merit all this companion cube business, its not like it was even important in the game at all, it was only on one level and used poorly. They try to build it up as this object for people to seek and buy but really it just wasn't that gold of an object. I would much rather have one of those white cameras on my wall or such.

You miss the point of WCC, then. You had to carry the cube around the entire level was the most time you had to spend with an object (besides the portal gun). With the sarcastic personality of GLaDOS, it made perfect sense. Plus, there was a heart on WCC, so you had to be attached to it. Smile

whoa.

Lol. I threw it in the fire without any hesitation because;

A) You can't take it past the little dot grid thing anyway

B) You're told to

C) I'm a heartless bastard. (It's actually a problem...)

I quite liked it, it was new and inventive and different, not a common thing in games these days.

Besides, that credits sequence is SOOOO AMUSING!

... Except the ones who are dead...

But there's no use crying over every mistake, you just keep going on until you run out of cake, and the science gets done, and you make a cool gun, for the people who are still alive...!

...

I'm not even angry, I'm being so sincere right now, even though you broke my heart, and killed me. And tore me to peices, and threw every peice into a fire. As it burned, it really hurt because I was so happy for you!

lol!

Portal is at the end of this video.

Portal, even though a 3-4 hour game (someone done it in just over 18 minutes Surprised) that's a good time for a game. It's 100% entertaining and narrows the gap between you and the balls tightinly fantastic ending.

Definatly a game and a half, if not, THE game of this year. I hope they make Portal 2 next year. =^_^=

Portal is the best game ever. And I refuse to believe the cake is real.

It was never meant to be a full, 10+ hour game. For it's price, it's about the length you should expect. Maybe longer than expected if you include the advanced levels. I agree that the first three weren't really that "advanced," but the last three took a good deal of thinking.

Portal wasn't short. It took me about 3 hours to beat and I was very satisfied with the game. It was the perfect length.

Awesome game, I can safely say it's better then Halo 3 & Crysis, combined.

I like replaying it for GlaDOS though, She makes me lol.

I pre-ordered it, so hah!

Team-Fortress 2 is fucking awesome too, I can't stop playing it.


Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

"Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember the time when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said 'Goodbye' and you were like 'No way!'... Then I was all 'We pretended we were going to murder you'... That was great..."

I have the song if you need it.

Also, after looking at valve's site heres what I know about the half life world


Gordon freeman and black mesa tested portals
Aperture science labs tested portals too
Black mesa ended up making a interdemensional portal which caused an alien invasion
Aperture labs made a portal gun which connected the same portal in different locations
Black mesa was nuked
Aperture's glados tested and killed everyone
Glados AI loops like crazy and keeps bringing people to test
Gordon freedom is now stuck and geting out of the city run by combines.

And then goes episode one and two.

Oh hey look, portal gun prop is gonna rox.

I'm making this gun from cardstock, then resining and fiberglassing it, I've made other stuff this way, such as my master chief helmet and armor. It is highly detailed, so it will take me days to make, but it will be worth it, owning the only portal gun will be awesome.

Portal was definitely the perfect example of what you should do with a game.
