Portal 2!!!

[anonymous23323124]

I can now say that I am very ashamed with Valve for their deceitful countdown at aperturescience.com! They suggested an early release and when it was done they just redirected to a page saying they would release it early if everyone buys lots of indie games.

I can't wait for Episode 3, that's my most anticipated game right now. When it comes out I'm going to buy the entire set of Half-Life games; the ones I've played (2 & episodes 1 and 2) are the best games I've ever played by a wide margin.

Valve really do set the bar high. TF2, Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 also rank very highly to me. I also like Counter-Strike Source and Day of Defeat Source, though for some reason I didn't enjoy Portal that much.

Hey chris I have a question for you :)

You say you liked TF2, so I suppose you've played it? ^^
Well, I've bought it (it was in the Orange Box, together with Portal and HL2) and I'm thinking of installing it. The thing is, if I downloaded this BEAST of 10GB off of steam, I won't be watching youtube/downloading things for the rest of the month :P
So, is it worth it?
These are the types of shooters I like: Counter-Strike 1.6/source, Crysis 2, Battlefield :D
And also, is L4D2 worth it if you have L4D?

I'd appreciate your input :)

I think it's pretty good, but it's quite different from Counter Strike. if you're unsure you could always just download a few gigabytes a month and you'd get it eventually :P

haha, I might do just that :)

I love TF2; I would say it was definitely worth installing. It's a completely different fps to most that I've played. It completely ignores the seriousness of other games, it's just fun. Also, people actually play as a team. There's not so much griefing either (since you can't shoot teammates). It's an excellent game.

L4D2 is another game that I love. The first one has much better characters but there are more weapons and more infected in 2 which makes it alot of fun on multiplayer :)

Has anyone else taken the quiz on the portal 2 site? Here's my result:

Your Aperture Science Cooperative Testing Type is:

Chell

Resolute and tenacious, you won't quit until a puzzle's solved. Your inability to give up against impossible odds makes you a bad match for cooperative test partners who give up against any odds at all, racing to the internet for answers.

Well that's no good:

Companion Cube

Stalwart and dependable, you're always willing to give a friend the shirt off your back, a shoulder to cry on, or a step up. Compatible cooperative test partners include shirtless people who can't stop crying while they use you as stairs.

Lol at the description though.

And also, is L4D2 worth it if you have L4D?

I loved the first L4D, but the second wasn't as good...it's way too easy to own as the Infected in it. First had better characters/atmosphere too.

@Xander314:
You chose "Superior to: No-one", didn't you? ;)

I only just started out with L4D and I'm LOVING it!!
Currently finished the first of 5 campaigns :D

[anonymous23323124]

@firedraco I always thought L4D2 was more enjoyable to play actually. I didn't find L4D had enough weapons to be honest.

@Albatross No I didn't. I'm not *that* humble... I think I set myself superior to four of them.

EDIT: I probably don't actually feel superior, but I had to make it more interesting ;)

Actually I strongly distrust this quiz. I retried as superior to all and suggested abolishing environmental safety, employee safety and consumer safety, i.e. express track to being GLaDOS. I was *still* the cube!!! :S
