Portal/EP2

[Jed]

I can't belive no-one made a thread about his.

Portal - greatest game ending in years. And thats from me the eternal cynic. :D

[zone trooper]

Getting the Orange Box in 2 days time from play.com for my PC. :D

I wanna play TF2, HL2:EP2 and Portal, all of them games look soooo amazing. :P

[Archon]

i didnt find anything to special about the portal ending, but i loved the song lol

[Jed]

Well visually it's simple but it's the way it all ties together and the continuity of the story throughout. I think thats what made it so great - it all comes together and the song just "fits" perfectly.

[spine]

I loved it! :D

[fess]

Can't wait to get the chance to play EP 2, Portal and TF2, can't afford then now, and someone is giving me EP 1.

[Archon]

the cake is a lie!

apparently it was featured on x-play recently, i dont get the channel but gabe said in an interview clip that chell (the player character in portal) will play a significant role in the half-life universe and eventually interact with the main characters from the half-life series

[Jed]

I think Chell is Alyx's mother. :D

[mXed]

weren't you told that you were an android ?
and i agree with the ending being good .. but i don't think the game was challenging
enough / enough content / puzzles .. it took 3½ hours to complete
GLaD was a laugh though ^^
havn't played ep2 yet .. will this weekend if i get time

I thoght the advanced 18 level was pretty tough to beat.

[zone trooper]

Valve said ages that Portal was part of the Half Life universe and I reckon the woman character probaly does have something to do with Alyx or maybe its one big twist. Maybe Gordon Freeman actually gets stuck in the cell thingy of Portal and then Half Life just ends...

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to play it for some time(broke student), but I keep hearing rave reviews of it, so I doubt that I'll lose any time in getting the dough together.

I really think I'd buy it just to find out what happens in the HL2 universe.

[Arturo]

Yeah I want to see what happens in Episode 2... Hopefully I can get it soon

[spine]

Yeah mXed, I think GLaD called me (Chell) an android at some point in there.
But that won't stop her beeing the mother of Alyx, it is the HL world remember... :D

I agree with Yahtzee, it must be the most entertaining game I've played ever, and damn funny aswell!

[Arturo]

Just Dl'ed the orange box yesterday. Portal is so fun, looking forward to playing Episode 2 soonish.

[Sam]

Lol Mixed, with the android thing, at one point your where mistakenly brought to an android training level so Glad talked to you as if you where a robot for a bit.

[mXed]

well .. at least i know now that i work well under extreme pessimisme :P

[spine]

I was so consentrated on getting through the game I missed half off all the jabber, I should play it again realy... :D

[Arturo]

I finished Ep 2 I really enjoyed it the story gets better and better aswell.

[Jed]

I found the commentaries interesting in Portal actually when I went through it again.

BTW, has everyone seen the portal gun in HL2 hack?

[Arturo]

Yeah, I also heard you can noclip in EP2 and kill the combine advisors at the end.

[fess]

Here's how you can do it: http://www.steamfriends.com/action/p2_articleid/914

[Hugo.B]

Yeah, I also heard you can noclip in EP2 and kill the combine advisors at the end.

SPOILERZ!

[Asskicker]

EP2 was amazing, Gman still scares me, his character is the best one ever.
Portal was good fun, one of the best games I played so far. Little short though

[Spartacus]

The Orange Box is the best thing you can buy for money

[Archon]

just playing through ep2 and portal again with commentary enabled, i like how they included the voice actors in the commentaries, intresting to hear their take on things and not just the devs talking about technical challenges and gameplay mechanics.
