: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.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
