Well Valve still get a sale, so I don't see what your issue is. :blink:

The person who got the trade in copy would miss out on the PC copy of the game.

That's if the store buys it back or accepts it, a lot won't do it if there's a chance the serial has been used.

You're mistaking me for someone who cares. :p

Hmm well in that case there is always eBay and other such places to sell it. :)

Might not make all the money back, but even if I just lose out on a tenner I'm still getting Portal 2 for dirt cheap.

Yet you all wouldn't complain if I bought the PS3 copy, still linked it up to my Steam thus using the PC copy, completed it in 1 or 2 days and then traded it in anyway because I won't play it again?
But you would play it on the PC. If you just wanted it for the PC, then why didn't you buy it for PC when it was at ?26.99.

anyone know the trick to the puzzle with the three lasers and two reflector cube thingys?

not sure if I know which one you mean...

But I think it's the one where you open one portal at the spot where the laser points at an angle and the other opposite of where it's supposed to hit...the 3 sockets, or whatever they are called. That'll connect one of them. then just use the cubes to direct the others through the portal into sockets.

I think that's how it's done :unsure:

Valve should just link the PS3 version to the Steam account aswell, and allow people who own Portal 2 on a PS3 Steam account to download it on the PC aswell, but from the exact same Steam account. Not sure if this complies with Sony's rules as it would mean that you can't sell on the game or return it when you used the key, but it'd fix their problem.

Portal 2 is a great game. Show some respect for the people who developed it. I don't care much about EA and some other really big companies that just release crappy games all the time, but Valve is one of the good guys. They support other game developers, especially indie games, their own games are of very high quality, and they're just good in general.

Yup, back on topic...

Just throwing this out there: I think Portal 2 has a much better story and flow than Half-Life 2. As I've said before, Half-Life 2 is my favorite first-person shooter (and probably favorite game, period), but Portal 2 really doesn't have any boring moments. After playing it, I think I'm more excited than ever to see the quality of game Half-Life 3 ends up being.

That said, Valve really needs to update their technology more. Love the look of the Source engine, but the levels either need background loading or something, because the loading screens in Source have always been its downfall. It's really showing its age, but it still looks pretty good.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
