Beat Portal Yesterday

[Groff]

I don't think i've ever had that much fun in a game in quite a long time. Especially at the "end" of the last test level... That was DEFINATELY an OH SHIT moment. One little line of dialog that slipped past me on the first run through was "You will be baked, and then you can have your cake"


I'm glad I finally got to play this game. Anyone who hasn't yet, should, especially since it's only 2-3 hours long.

Off to play HL2 and the first two Episodes.

Portal is awesome, i got horrifically addicted to it and had to finish it, and the ending is absolutely awesome as well!

It's one of the best games I've ever played, pretty close to the level of awesomeness that the original Sam & Max game has.

Hmm...I really need to check this out somehow.

If you have a decent computer (doesn't need to be that powerful) you can download it from Valve's Steam service. Not sure how much it costs, but I assume it's cheaper than getting the orange box.

 

[MrJack]

Portal on its own is 19.95$ while Orange Box is 49.95$. I'd say that if you don't have HL2 and the episodes, it's worth getting the Orange Box.

I'm on a Mac. And damn proud of it. I prefer console gaming mostly anyways, but we plan on buying a decent PC at some point for the few new games and bunch of old games we want to play.

Over New Years break, I beat Lost Odyssey, Portal, Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode One, and got to the end of Half Life 2: Episode Two (I'll probably beat that this weekend).

Portal was good, but WAYYY too short. I beat the whole game in about 2 and a half hours, which was even shorter than Half Life 2: Episode One, which I beat in 4-5 hours.

And The Orange Box is one of the best deals in gaming ever. 5 amazing games for $50 or less (I think the PC version is like $40, while the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are $50).


EDIT: Some hilarious parts from Portal.

YouTube - Portal - GLaDOS - Miscellaneous Babble

This is, BY FAR, my favorite line GlaDOS says in the entire game: YouTube - Portal - And You were like NO WAY

You've never played it and, yet, somehow knew that Mike Patton voiced the anger sphere?

The anger sphere only has one line in the entire game and that line is "grfrgrraaagrrrrrrrgggrraaaffgggggkkkfgraaagrtlgraaaagflgraaklaaaagrrraglkkkaaaaafruuublkgaaaa!!"

My personal favorite of the spheres was the curiosity sphere:

Portal was easy to beat, but getting the Gold Achievements on the Bonus missions are fucking HARD!!! The 'Least Portals' are reasonably do-able, but some of the 'Least Time' or 'Least Steps' are crazy.

Also this is how to beat Portal in 18mins



Also Advanced Bunnyhopping ftw!

Portal may have been easy, but the storyline, concept and humour within it were something that I have never seen so well put together before. I loved it. And the ending was absolutely hilarious.

I wouldn't call it "easy" because I DID get hung up on several spots. Like where you had to use a portal and that rocket launcher to break the glass, and then use it to break the tube to get a cube. I actually couldn't figure that out, and used a desk chair to jump through the vent.

And the end took me three tries, I had to look up where the second orb went, I just saw it fly off into the distance.

I loved placing portals high up, and sending turrets through them (that's how I got past that big room)

Go for it, it only takes 2 hours or so to complete. So long as you learn to manipulate the portals correctly.
