Portal

Postby Rafterman » Sun Mar 04, 2012 1:30 pm

Yeah, I know the game is old now, but since I just bought the Orange Box a couple months ago, I finally got around to playing it. I've beaten Portal and I'm halfway through Portal 2. These games are a BLAST. You really have to use your noodle and have quick clicking reflexes to make your way through the game. I definitely recommend them to anyone who's into puzzle-based gameplay.

Two conclusions I've come to thus far:

  • The cake is a lie.
  • GlaDOS is a scary bitch.

Portal 1: $9.99
Portal 2: $29.99
The Orange Box (includes Portal 1): $19.99
Portal Bundle (includes 1 and 2): $34.98

These are the regular prices though, so keep an eye on Steam because these games go on sale pretty regularly. I bought the Orange Box on sale for just $9.99 and Portal 2 for $7.49.

1 is one of my favorite games of all time. Still haven't played 2 but I want to. Just waiting for it to go on sale again.

If you haven't played it yet, check out Portal: The Flash Version.

:2thumbsup: That game is tons of fun. I first played it at Newgrounds or Armor Games back when it came out shortly after Portal was released. It's a mind-sizzling side-scroller. :nod:

You should give Exit Path and Exit Path 2 a try. They are damn sweet portal-style escape games too.

portal 2 is just as fun as the first, especially with all the new gameplay elements they threw in there. The Co-op adds another nice twist to it. Matter of fact, i think the Co-Op can be more fun than the single player.

Didn't we try to load my "borrowed" version for you?

Yeah, it would install but never load. Just stuck at the loading screen.

So I found out last night that just because you're on puzzle 11 of 22, it doesn't mean you're halfway through the game. Quite the opposite in fact. I won't mention any major spoilers for those who haven't played it yet, but when you reach puzzle 22, your game is just getting started. I'll just say this, it's a LONG climb back to the surface, but I love the retro decor. :look:

I'd like to play the co-op in the next week or two if someone wants to join me.

I just finished Portal 2. Un-freaking-believeable game. It took me about 8 hours to beat. Absolutely fantastic ending. Wow, I haven't played a game that good in a while. Skyrim and Battlefield 3 are fun, but Portal just blew my mind.

That's how I feel about 1. There were great games out at the time but Portal still amazed me.
