The dialog in this is so killer.

I quit after a half hour because I was starting to get woozy. I think earlier in the week, I may (or may not) have been a bit sick, and that may have aggravated the situation. I am on room 17 now.

The ending is so great. Beat it tonight.

valve should release this on XBLA so the people that didn't get the orange box (or have no clue what it is) can enjoy its greatness.

It really is amazing. Probably one of the most memorable games released in recent memory. The atmosphere, the charm, the dialogue, the level design, the end battle, the credits, the song, etc...

Just awesome.

Did anyone else kind of get a little creeped out by the dialogue? I mean there are definitely some funny parts to it but overall it was also a little...unsettling. The game played out like a cybernetic snuff facility. I don't know, maybe it was just me.

I'd really like to see Aperture Science (and Glados) play a bigger role in the HL2 story arc though. Seems like there's a lot of potential there.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #10 on:** October 16, 2007, 12:34:04 AM »

That's why it was awesome!

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #11 on:** October 16, 2007, 12:45:17 AM »

Well yeah, of course, but every impression I've been reading so far has been about how funny it is (and it's definately that) but very little mention of how....evil(?)....it all seems. Again, I didn't know if it was just because I was a wierd mood when I went through it or what but I was more taken back by its eerieness rather than the humor.

TVC15 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 16, 2007, 02:33:25 AM »

I don't see how it's evil when there is going to be cake at the end.

aperture science > black mesa

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #14 on:** October 16, 2007, 02:39:48 AM »

Black Mesa sure seems like the Flavorite of Science these days.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #15 on:** October 16, 2007, 11:29:14 AM »

DisposableWhiteGuy hit the nail on the head when he said Portal is reminiscent of the movie Cube in some aspects.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #16 on:** October 16, 2007, 11:29:56 AM »

Are you calling everyone who beat the game a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow?

demi · « **Reply #17 on:** October 16, 2007, 11:31:18 AM »

I haven't touched Portal, I want to do the game in order :'(

The boss at the end was kind of a crappy fight, but other than that I had a really good time. I wanna play it again soon, which is more than I can say for Halo 3.

Ooh, dis.

border · « **Reply #21 on:** October 16, 2007, 11:56:22 AM »

Maybe that's just because Halo 3 will be a long slog in Legendary, whereas I know I can finish Portal again in probably an hour.

Does this game fit into the Half-Life continuity at all?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #22 on:** October 16, 2007, 11:58:29 AM »

Yeah, it does. Aperature Science gets a bit of a cameo in Half-Life: Episode Two, but it looks like Aperature will producing the deus ex machina of Episode Three.

The fans are already speculating if Gordon and Chell (the chick you play in Portal) meet each other in Episode Three.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #23 on:** October 16, 2007, 11:59:13 AM »

I want G-Man and GLaDOS to team up in Episode 3. That would ROCK

I blame you! I'm gonna play some HL2 then, need to blow through it to play Portal. I'm that rebellious.

You should come online and talk to me :'(
