Portal 2

Re: Portal 2

I watched some play-throughs of this game and I got to say, it is awesome. However it is too short. The dialogue, sense of humor, and puzzles are really good though.

I hope to see a Portal 3, hoping Valve will make it more difficult and extend the length of gameplay.

I wish for a Portal 3, but the storyline, the plot.. It seems finished. Portal (1) left things very open for the possibilities of plots in Portal 2, and I think they did a beautiful job with it. However, I think they really did wrap it up.

One thing I can say about this game was how pleased I was with the abundance of GLaDOS lines, and just the dialogue in general. The plot was (to me) powerful, and even a bit touching. Everyone seems to expect the game to be longer, but maybe some people are forgetting that part of the game is about stopping to enjoy the story and the dialogue. Focusing too hard on the puzzles and then coming to the conclusion that the game is easy and short takes away from your experience as a whole.

Re: Portal 2

Just finished downloading and installing portal 2 on my computer. Might make some videos or something, I don't know. Just wanted to play through it once on the PC.

Edit: It looks so much more amazing on high settings and x8 anti-aliasing.

I agree. I actually spent 20 minutes in the potato battery exhibit just to stare at the minute details the devs put into the game. Lots of neat stuff lying around that you don't notice if you're just blazing through. I paid full price for the game and I don't feel cheated at all.

Re: Portal 2

If I recorded all of portal in 720p and uploaded it do you think anyone would watch it?

Re: Portal 2

Unless it's a speed run, a strat guide or a Let's Play, no.

Re: Portal 2

It would be more of a cinematic run. I can't see anyone needing a strategy guide..

And what is a "lets play"?

Re: Portal 2

usually an LP means you made it funny thru commentary

Re: Portal 2

It seems hard to make portal 2 funny through commentary. What would be funny is to play through the game while extremely drunk so people can laugh at how bad you are.

What would be funny is if you stopped posting.

Ah, I took Gamesradar's translation and added it to my full ending video (everything from the end of the battle, to the end of the Turret song).
