The Dennis Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 I admit to enjoying the living hell out of TF2, but I really bought the Orange Box for Portal. I have to say that it didn't disappoint. The humor throughout the game is genius! And without giving away the ending, the credits are hilarious. Thoughts! Go! Quote
KakTheInfected Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 I played a few rooms, and while I can definetly enjoy something like this, it's gets boring pretty quickly. Quote
Arek the Absolute Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 now you are thinkin with portal Quote
AMT Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I was surprised at how short it was, but even so, it was an awesome game. I'm looking forward to trying the challenge modes. Quote
big giant circles Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 AWESOME game. really unique--never played anything like it before, and I doubt there will be many that manage to rip it off. Hilarious, challenging, and just plain fun. also, BEST. ENDING. EVAR i must get the soundtrack (especially the credits music) to this game. MUST. Quote
I-n-j-i-n Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Nice addition to the Orange Box, but for $20, I'd feel ripped off. Quote
Imagist Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Speaking of Orange Box, Episode Two is just as awesome as Half-Life 2, if not more so. While Half-Life 2 was a little on the easy side and Episode One was so frustrating and had so rewarding elements it felt like a chore, Episode Two is both decently challenging and full of insanely fun new gameplay mechanics. Also, holy crap the story is going somewhere cool now. The ending snuck up on me entirely. Quote
Imagist Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 This is a double post because Portal is worthy of it. I have to say, I have no regrets that I did nothing but play Valve games and eat for the last fourteen hours. Quote
KakTheInfected Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I thought the ending was cool but the whole game feels like playing one really long Zelda dungeon with no variety. I want a sequel but maybe just a lil different. Quote
FiremanJoe Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Thankyou all for confirming my suspicions. =D I can't wait to play either Portal or the new Ep. I just wish I had some cash with which to buy this... Quote
Dunnowhathuh Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Thankyou all for confirming my suspicions. =D I can't wait to play either Portal or the new Ep. I just wish I had some cash with which to buy this... Man, we gotta wait till next week haha. Dammit, why can't all games have a simultaneous release. Quote
sephfire Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 also, BEST. ENDING. EVAR Absolutely true. Best end credits sequence ever as well. Quote
Final Guard Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Coming from someone who played through Narbacular Drop several times, I really want to play Portal so bad. Quote
!Nekko! Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Just got through beating the advanced levels. I'm not quite sure how you were supposed to beat the last one, but I did it in the most unorthodox fashion. I don't know if I have the patience for the challenges, though. Quote
eternal Zero Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Absolutely true. Best end credits sequence ever as well. It was quite awesome. Quote
UnforgivingEdges Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Strong contender for game of the year. Awesome in almost every regard: gameplay, writing, pacing, and atmosphere. And the ending is so good. Quote
PlastikBag Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 This was probably the most fun I've had playing a game in years. It was entertaining, hilarious, and extremely satisfying. Quote
The Damned Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Anyone check out the flash game? Done by someone else, it's a 2D version. And if I had fun playing that, I'm thinking I should have fun playing the full version. Not having played Half-Life 2, and seeing how fun just the 2D version is... maybe I will go pick up Orange Box. Quote
SirChadlyOC Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Go buy The Orange Box at Circuit City or Fry's if you haven't yet. They're both selling it for about $40 this week after taxes, but I'm sure it'll be back to retail prices by Sunday. I haven't played anything other than Team Fortress 2. Not only that, but I played only as an Engineer for the first 4 or 5 hours straight. But after I break my addiction, I shall give Portal a try. And HL2. Quote
suzumebachi Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 is there a way to get Portal without buying the orange box (i already have HL2)? ...please don't say steam distribution. i would rather hang myself. seriously. Quote
Blaster1980 Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 is there a way to get Portal without buying the orange box (i already have HL2)? ...please don't say steam distribution. i would rather hang myself. seriously. There's a Black Box that contains just Portal, TF2 & HL2 Ep 2 for PC users only. Quote
suzumebachi Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 There's a Black Box that contains just Portal, TF2 & HL2 Ep 2 for PC users only. no there's not. Quote
The Legendary Zoltan Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Ok, wait wait wait. I've got a good one. You ready? Here it goes. "What is Portal and what system is it for?" Waaahaaahaaaaaa! But seriously... Quote
Imagist Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 To suzu: I think Orange Box is the only physical retail option. Although it doesn't make the limitation any less annoying, there's an option to transfer the HL2 and E1 rights to someone else via Steam, so you could get your money back by finding a friend to pay you for them. Otherwise, it costs an exorbitant stand-alone amount on Steam. Quote
