Now that you mention custom mods, should I re-buy it for PC, now that I can run it?ĮDIT NOTE: To anyone who's going to argue with my use of "perfect" I mean it in the sense of Louis C.K.'s speech about everything's amazing and nobody's happy. I can agree with OP about the replayability, but every reasonably valid complaint I've had or seen about Portal 2 just equates to "It wasn't perfect enough". I was worried about exactly that before I got it for xbox, but was happy to see they worked around it. Mid-air portal placement was probably due to shipping on consoles as well as PC. I'm going to pick up Gears 3 soon because the multiplayer in that game is absolutely marvelous (what I've played anyway). What I'm mostly look for are arguments that help me better understand the side that disagrees with or better strengthen my opinion. What do you guys think about Portal 2 or just "overrated" games in general?ĮDIT: Thanks for your time and your opinions. There's no challenge mode, no time trials, nothing but single-player and co-op. My biggest disappointment in Portal 2 was beating the single player, then multiplayer, and finding out that there is nothing else. I almost want to go as far as saying that Valve shipped everyone an unfinished game.
That's another problem I had with Portal 2. Instead, it throws you a blank canvas and says, "start painting." The game is short, sweet, and very easily replayable. It doesn't question your intelligence by constantly pointing you in the right direction. In the first Portal there were so many ways you could complete the levels and that's what made it truly fun to play. The game ends up becoming, "find the white panel and put your portal on it." They mix it up later on with the gels and the reflection cubes and that's about it.
The puzzles in Portal 2 weren't challenging in the slightest. It's a puzzle game, and that's where it fell flat for me. I grew up with adventure games so I'm used to dialogue and characters being the priority, however Portal 2 is not an adventure game. Normally, I would be completely satisfied with this. Great dialogue, great graphics and some pretty cool new ideas.īut that's where it felt like the gameplay took a backseat to the story. I went to the midnight launch at the Gamestop in the area (employees are great, they brought cake) and played the game as soon as I got home. When Portal 2 came out on my birthday, I was stoked. r/CoOpGaming - A community for co-op gaming r/nintendo - Nintendo-specific subreddit for general Nintendo news and discussion R/shouldibuythisgame - Find out what's worth getting.
