Portal


Recommended Posts

I know i'm a bit late but i just finished portal, and OMG. The game on its own was pretty good but the story, speaking robot thing and the song at the end made it amazing.

I don't think i've ever laughed so much at a game.

"If you like it so much why don't you just marry it"

"Remember when i was all like goodbye, then you were like no way and i was all like we were just pretending to kill you"

It was just awesome.

I agree. I actually completed the game in one sitting which is a first for me. It was simply that interesting to me. Kudos to Valve for creating such an intuitive and witty game. :)

Just finished it too! I thought it was great!

I could only imagine what it would be like if there was a portal gun in the actual half-life 2 game! Possible?

And it actually managed to make me laugh a few times...Amazing.... Hehe, "Your companion cube will not threaten to stab you." :p

Finished it yesterday. That was amazing :D

I loved the part on the last level where she says "Remember when I said we were going to kill you and you were all like "No way!" I was like "Just Kidding!"?" :laugh:

I gotta admit, when that platform turned around that corner and started heading into the fire I looked at it and said "What the ****?!?!"

Sorry to break it to you guys, but Portal was actually based off Prey by 3D Realms. (If they say otherwise, then they're lying. Way too coincidental.) They created "portal technology" back in 1998. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR1U7RvxLTI.

But anyway, ya, amazing game :D

yeh... lets go way back then and say that they ripped the teleporting idea from star trek.

it was fun. i will expect an adult game rip off soon called 'porntal'

Aye, when that happened I was just thinking "no way it can end like that" and started looking around for where to portal to. :laugh:

Haven't played the real one but the flash one was pretty fun.

Kick ass. Making today at work so much more fun (this week we are pretty much dead, over 60% of the office is off). Thanks for sharing.

I have two projects I need to design real quick, then playing this no doubt. :punk:

This game reminded me so much of the older generation of games where playability, skill and interesting ideas were the foundation of the game, not great graphics or cinematic story lines.
