Portal 2
« on: April 20, 2011, 08:49:28 am »
So, after seeing the pre-order thing for months on steam and deciding that it would be better if I held off until after exams I bought Portal 2 the day it was released.
Lots of fun so far, not quite the same feel as the first one, but interesting. Looking forward to getting my co-op on on the weekend with a friend back in brissie.

There's a joke in there about putting your boner in a portal or something.

I liked the first one but stopped playing once it changed from puzzle-oriented to action-oriented. Or to put it another way: once I had to do things quickly it stopped being fun.

So I'll skip 2 partly because my computer likely won't even run it and partly because any game with co-op mode sounds like torture to me. I don't need other people seeing how bad I am.

I'm kind of embarrassed about this, but the first one shipped with the Orange Box, so I've had it forever, and I've never played it. I'm kind of scared to, what with everyone saying it's the best thing since sliced hoohah.

It's not AMAZING.  It's not COMPLETELY revolutionary.

It's a first person puzzle game.  Kinda like those levels in all the other first person shooters where you have to flip the right levers to make the floors move a certain way so you can get to the cheese.

Same thing.

The game has some moxie though.  It is certainly worth a play through.

Yeah a lot of the greatness of the first one is that I just  loaded it up without expecting anything and it managed to be fairly unique and really funny when I was expecting neither.

Second one is ok, for what it's worth Cort, there's a lot of scenes in 2 that look like they are time limited but really aren't. There's also more characters in this one, in a round about way, which I have mixed feelings about. More chance for humour, but I really loved the spartan feel the world of the first one had.

Yeah, ok. Some aspects of it were unique and original while others were not?

At least you didn't talk about what you were going to utilize the software for.

I dislike snack as a verb.

"Snacking".

It makes me feel like the TV has won, and put roots in my family members heads.

We're snackers.  WE SNACK!  ALWAYS SNACKING!

I approve of Nosh. When I hear nosh I mentally envision a ww1 vet hoeing into a raw potato without his teeth in, thoroughly enjoying every minute of it.
