Title: Portal
Post by: The artist formally known on October 14, 2007, 06:50:39 AM
My friend let me play it. Game kicked ass, it was the first time since Metroid Zero Mission that I ever wanted to beat a game in one sitting. Not even Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow I wanted to beat as soon as I got it. I beat it in about two hours and I have to say disappointed at the length but loved the ending. Didn't play extra levels yet but I may. I'll be buying it some day though.

Game kicked asses.


10/10, buy it but only for PC. Games too short to play on 360 and TF2 is much much much better on PC.

QuoteThe game was released in a bundle package known as The Orange Box for PC and Xbox 360 on October 10, 2007, and will be released for the PlayStation 3 sometime in November.


Apparently it's not too short for the PS3. :3

It's not worth buying it for a console

If your PC is shitty enough, you might as well, though.

Is team fortress really good? Because the only reason I want the Orange Box is for Portal and Team Fortress.

Get it if you want both of them. Portal is really short but really awesome. TF2 I couldn't get good at, though I only played it for like 30 minutes. If you loved CS then you'll love TF2.

I'm sold.  caterpie;
Though now I'm not sure which version to get, the PC or Xbox360 version... wry
I'll probably like TF2 better on the PC, but I'll probably enjoy the Half Life games better on the Xbox360 for some odd reason...

Lowest setting then.

And game isn't that high of requirements. Get the PC version or don't get it. Not worth getting 360 version.

Oh right.  edumacate;

Well actually there is only a $10 price difference...But since I just want Portal and Team Fortress 2, I guess I'll just get the PC version.

Who cares, mouse and good ol' WASD are way better than a controller.

I'm getting it for PC this week.  Why would anyone buy the 360 version.   argh;  Sacrelige.

Hopefully Valve will release extra levels on Steam later on.

I said the computer crashes if we run anything better than GTA1. Are you fucking stupid?

Also, Steam is a pile of shit. the DRM stuff. It's as bad as Spyware.
