Darth Lime Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I saw some preview for it on Cinematech a while back and it looked like an awesome game. I just $40 and its mine. Bwhahahahaha Quote
PlastikBag Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Otherwise, it costs an exorbitant stand-alone amount on Steam. What does? Portal? $20 is hardly an exorbitant amount for a 3-4 hour game with some extra challenge levels. Especially one that is so well scripted and well done. Quote
TehDonut Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 k well this is my first post on OCR forums, though signed up on these forums about 9 months ago...and I hang around the IRC channel sometimes...but anyways... Omg wow this game is amazing... personally i loved the credits song at the end... if you wanna here it..the lyrics are there too..I loved the personality of the robot...GLaDOS or whoever it was.. just wanted to put my two cents in about this great game...worth the money IMO (at least the orange box is) If you haven't beaten or played the game yet just look carefully at some of the walls and you will know why "the cake is a lie!" lol I also found something interesting - http://aperturescience.com/ type login and the password is portal from there you can explore it on your own...

Legion303 Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Amazing game. I was cracking up most of the way through. -steve Quote

anosou Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Make a mac version already! or at least a console one! I hate to admit it but this game looks sweet. Really sweet. and I'm one of those "I-don't-like-valve-or-FPSs"guys.. GET ON WITH IT! THIS IS SO INNOVATIVE YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT TO US ALL! Quote
JoeFu Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Such an awesome game. I love the voice of the turrets. Ending song is like the best song ever. Companion Cube <3 ftw!!!! Quote
Doulifée Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Such an awesome game. I love the voice of the turrets.Ending song is like the best song ever. Companion Cube <3 ftw!!!! seconded. Please put me down! - I don't blame you Quote
TehDonut Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Make a mac version already! or at least a console one! well anso, they released the orange box for xbox360...and they are releasing it for ps3 soon too. But i don't think and official mac version will be released... Quote
Imagist Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I invited your friend Companion Cube but he couldn't come because you murdered him. I invited all your other friends but they couldn't come because you don't have any other friends. Quote

Then I guess I'll eventually get a PS3 though. Xbox ain't my thang thanks for the info donut my friend Quote
sephfire Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Don't count on anything Mac from Valve for a while. Gabe Newall has expressed strong distaste for Mac as a gaming platform in general. Quote
Airwalker Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Absolutely brilliant. Even if it was a tad short, I don't feel like I wasted $20 at all. Actually, the first I heard of this game, I stumbled on the credit sequence and I immediately had to find the game it belonged to. I read a little about it, and bam, I just had to buy it. Sure, it kinda spoiled the ending, but knowing all of the context, I still smiled. Quote

The bastard! I'm glad I don't like other Valve stuff that much then. Mainly because I never played it lol Quote
Wintermute Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 How...informed and intelligent of you. =/ IMO, Valve is pretty much the best in the business now. Quote
Antipode Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 How...informed and intelligent of you. =/IMO, Valve is pretty much the best in the business now. I'm beginning to agree. Valve not only has some excellent games, but I think Steam keeps getting better and better as a delivery service. Quote

Vivi22 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Don't count on anything Mac from Valve for a while. Gabe Newall has expressed strong distaste for Mac as a gaming platform in general. Not surprising. The Source engine (on which all Valve games are currently built) uses DirectX quite heavily; something Macs don't support. Releasing on a platform without it would require some serious re-tooling of the games, which is probably why EA is handling the PS3 port. Quote
eternal Zero Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I invited your friend Companion Cube but he couldn't come because you murdered him. I invited all your other friends but they couldn't come because you don't have any other friends. You had to put on subtitles in that sequence to get the full feel. If you haven't, give it a try, you won't be displeased. Quote
TehDonut Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 "Cake and grief counseling will be served at the conclusion of this test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all" That's probably my favorite quote. Quote

The Damned Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Now, now... let's not get into another console fanboy fight. We've all had enough of those. Quote
Merk Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Mac Users: Portal apparently runs under WINE in Linux, maybe it would run under WINE in OS X Quote
atmuh Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Now, now... let's not get into another console fanboy fight. We've all had enough of those. its not a matter of being a fanboy its a matter of being an idiot Quote
