i remember the very first time i saw this trailer when it was a steam. i was so jaw dropped i remember saying "WOW that is the most imaginative idea for a game ever!"
Maybe those were cut for some reason. I could imagine why spike ceilings would be cut. It would be kind of hard to determine when you would actually be "dead" under the ceiling or just being crushed.
You may have noticed this as well, the turrets didn't talk in the trailer like they do in the real game, instead they just beeped a lot.
Go and buy it immediately. It's only $10 over Steam and it's worth every penny many times over. I got it in the Orange Box for the 360, myself. Sooooo amazing and funny.
hmm, i also love monkey island, and i loved this game ^ ^ the first time you play through the game the levels are'nt that difficult, but once you unlock the advanced chambers - harder versions of the ones you beat - those are definetely harder and worth trying
this game is one of the 5 games that come in the orange box (i got it for 360) and it kicks ass! as much as i hate to say it, i play portal more than the 3 half-life 2 games or team fortress. well, i'll play team fortress once i get my xbox live hooked up (DAMN 'NEED A DNS SERVER' THING! WTF IS A DNS SERVER?!)
Are the puzzles mind-bending? are they challenging enouug for me to sit and think about the problem for a few minutes (me being one of those people who love the monkey island series). It looks really clever and original and i can see a lot of potential in this game.
The puzzles in the actual game are nowhere near as complex as the ones in this trailer. The actual game is more like a training buildup of how to use the portal gun, followed by a few much longer levels where you use everything you learned to get through longer (but not necessarily harder) challenges. It seems like an introductory prequel of sorts. There are challenge modes in the game which -are- mindbending, where you have to beat levels within a limited number of steps/portals/etc. ^^
If your thinking of buying this game, why not check out the "orange box"?
It comes with portal, HL2, HL ep 1/2 and team fortress 2! extra 2 arcade games included! if you bought those indavidually it would come to 128 bucks, but the holiday offer for the package is TWENTY POUNDS!
holy shit this is one of the best logic games i've ever seen. fuck sherlock homes and his silver earring this is the shit(anyway i play adventure logic games:) but this is not the same):D
Didn't we have fun, though? Remember that part where you were about to go into the fire pit and I said "Goodbye" and you were like "No way!" and then I was all "we pretended we were going to murder you". Wasn't that fun?
well there is a few things but with the shortness of the actual game(not that thats bad) all plot breaking spoilers can be revealed within a single sentence.
The game isn't very hard and you can finish it in about two hours. If you want a real challenge play the advanced rooms and earn medals for completing them with the least number of portals, etc.
these videos/games so make me wanna be a scientist, just so i could become the character on the screen, i know its a cruel riality at times but the things youll see- when i first say half life i knew what my lifes ambitions where... then and there.
portas the game is ecellent and its much more than just a puzzler EPIC WIN.
Actually, it's easy to get out of an infinite loop. The difficult part, in fact, is staying in one. There are challenges in the game, one of which is to fall 30,000 feet.
oh yeah, didn't think about that. You'ld be reaching terminal velocity after a bit in one of those. How do you get out without turning into a stain on the floor? :\
I haven't played the game, but in reality (with portals) you should get out of the infinite loop ASAP since you will pick up speed. THEN you will turn into a stain on the floor :D
No health bar, but there are still plenty of ways for you to kill yourself, lol. Yeah, it was pretty short, but Glados (the voice) was so worth it, lol.
I'm glad they changed the turrent robot voices. There funny now: "I don't blame you" "Put me down" "I'll kill you!" (o.o) Well maybe that one isn't cute...
Sorry I forgot to mention this was when I played it at LAN, took ages for me to download because I needed to sort my networking, just my mountain dew lasted longer than the first 18 levels. The last level was as long as the first 18 and the whole thing was done in under 2 hours, not had time to do the other stuff.
I am sorry I judged it before fair game, I was just a little miffed to be on the last level inunder 60 mins.
It is fun. But short. Its not worth spending 20 bucks on this game alone. I suggest buy the orange box since all five games inside are worth 50 bucks.
boring for a retard with no brain and can't work out simple puzzles. anyway, what's so fun about moving a mouse around, aiming and a enemy and clicking?
if you guys heard of Narbacular Drop. you should know the creators of Narbacular Drop made this game Portal is the siritual sequal to Narbacular Drop and most of the workers who made ND now works for Valve
One of the funniest games (game series, actually) ever.
