I think the game is pretty sweet and full of character. I don't mind the shortness or what have you, cause I still play NES and SNES games which have just as much or less content then this so the game is DEFINATELY worth it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What's my point. Well I guess that it's easier to entertain me then the average person I suppose. As long as it's doing something new or interesting that is.

I know that the industry standards have incresed over the years, however mine have not. I was simply speaking on a personal note.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't portal supposed to be a community game at it's core. You're supposed to create and share puzzles with friends and online communities. Sort of like Little Big Planet, except with a less streamlined interface. Still, Portal is quite an amazing game for a small team of college students who started the game as a final project.

P.S.
I've payed double the price of Portal for movies that are only an hour and thirty-minutes. So perhaps it's just my twisted logic of trying to justify everything, but I just can't seem to spin Portal into being a negative thing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Why? You never hear the term, "you get what you pay for"?

Look at it this way. The average game today is $60-70. Portal is 15 if purchased online and 11 through Orange Box. Because I believe that most will get it through Orange Box I'm going to use the $11 price point. Let's say that the game takes 3 hours to complete. That's the equivelant of 18hours of gameplay for $66, to ratio that is. Most offline games that we're paying $60-70 for today arn't even 18hours long. So really Portal for the $11, is more then fine.

And it's still double the length of a movie rental for the same price.

Where's the cake? I can't find the cake!


To keep this from a random spam...
Spoiler:
When I got to the fire pit I thought that it was actually at the end of the game and didn't even bother trying anything or looking around. If it wasn't for a last second accidental shift of the mouse that shifted my view upwards, there probably would have been some swearing of confusion when I hadn't recieved the credits.


But yeah, game was great. I have no complaints. Now I've got to get my friends and mom to try Portal out. ^^

I was speaking idiomatically.

For thoes who want more Portal. Here's a flash version which is pretty well done. It has some flaws, but nothing that can't be overcome with a bit of tweaking to your methods.

Post feedback of your experiance if you like.
