cold14 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 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.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted December 20, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2007 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. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shattered Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Don't forget to play the advanced maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalE Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Portal is awesome... Since I got it a few weeks ago, I've played all the way through it three times (each in one sitting) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalE Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yep, Portal is based on a game called Narbacular Drop. http://www.nuclearmonkeysoftware.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SacrificialSoldier Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Is a great game. beat like 25 levels in one sitting then had to go do other things. still need to finish it. Great game, very intriguing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDreamX Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) 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 Edited December 21, 2007 by TheDreamX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted December 23, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 23, 2007 Yeah, Prey doesn't "own" portals (it's just a prettier form of teleportation), and even then it wasn't "based off" Prey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted December 26, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2007 Yay I just completed Portal! Took me a few go's on that last level tho I thought wtf is that in mid air for...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PricklyPoo Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel T Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Haven't played the real one but the flash one was pretty fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PL_ Veteran Posted December 27, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 27, 2007 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 ****?!?!"

Jimmy0 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I gotta admit, when that platform turned around that corner and started heading into the fire I looked at it and said "What the ****?!?!" 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreqFace Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 The first time, I thought that was the end, so I just gracefully stayed until I... well, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted December 27, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 27, 2007 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmatt Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 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.

Jeffhou65 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I could only imagine what it would be like if there was a portal gun in the actual half-life 2 game! Possible? You can add the gun into hl2 by loading the hl2 maps, but it's a bit buggy, enemies don't fall though the portals etc...
