:laugh:

I can see why people would get upset about so much paid DLC on day 1. $1.99 for your robot to do a facepalm, thumbs up or other guesters. I can understand if it was some ingame credit you get for doing things to get people to replay the game. I guess this is just a small way to keep giving us free support for other games ( updates, new maps, etc...). Nothing is free.

That screenshot is serious? If so, WOW, that is pretty bad.

And I was just reading on Kotaku about the DLC. Also pretty bad I must say. I realize all of it is cosmetic and does not affect gameplay, but I just thought Valve of all people would stray away from such gimmicks.

I am sure I am still going to love the game, I loved the first Portal and even if it is an exact replica of it with just new levels and ways of doing things, well then I am sold, but it is a tad disappointing to see some of the thing that have been revealed on release day, mainly the console-centric focus and console-centric approach to the DLC. Oh well.

Looks like a lot of that is to do with people complaining about the DLC extras for the game as well as a complete misunderstanding of the Potato sack games or what the potatos was all about

That why I was confused I knew they didn't had any DLC and where the f*** these idiots got this $85 DLC out of the air. I'm still debating should I get it for console or pc (the price tend to get lower for pc after a while)

Playing through it now - it makes me unbearably motion sick, the first one did too to an extent but no where near this levels :x

I had this problem with HL2 when it first came out. I tried the game again last fall and had the same problem, only made it about an hour into the game and couldn't take it.

I see someone is running it on a MacBook, I might give it a try on my MBP. Not going the 360 route.

I can't believe there is already pay for DLC.... Valve is normally not the one to charge for such a little thing like that.... I wonder who is making them do this?

it's not a conspiracy, it's just hats which have no bearing on gameplay, and tf2 already has hats you pay for, this isn't anything new. I don't get how people think this is a big deal.

Helps pay for the 'free' updates and maps we get for this game and others but I do feel some of it is a bit redicilous but it has no affect on gameplay.

I just got the game in the mail and im having secound thoughts based on real reviews (not trolling ones). I hope their is a map creator tool soon. Community maps for SP and MP would just make things a lot better for PC and console side. They can throw in a map browsing interface like little big planet so people wont have to download and extract to a folder like on the PC side.

edit: OK i did a search and their will be user created maps for alll versions (should really do that before making a post). Thats good I feel better because people will create twitch reflexes maps we all love from portal 1. Im going to get killed on the PS3 side until I upgrade my PC :p. Game on.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
