Portal Review

[davidefurigay]

The Cake was real....

[EllDudeRocks]

But I loved it!! :)

[EllDudeRocks]

I suck a puzzle games! Like really, really suck, but I got the orange box today! More to play the half life games! But I though I would give this a chance before I tried any other game! I beat it in 2 hours and 8 mins!!!!

[hiuuhu]

...and free for Mac.

[iPodTouchAngel]

What systems is this game for besides PC?

[RollingStoneGaming]

@iPodTouchAngel ps3 and xbox 360

[iPodTouchAngel]

@RollingStoneGaming I couldn't find it on either though... doesn't matter though, it's free on Steam for PC now

[danialTITANINJA]

@iPodTouchAngel u can get it with haf lif 2 for 360 n ps2 n u can buy it 4 i think 10 bucks on psn and xboxlive

[MrVladdavid]

AANNDD...

It has the best music ever

(I mean "This was a triumph")

If I spammed sorry lol

[eazyduzitjacob]

[ethteck]

@eazyduzitjacob At the time of this video, yes, I was 15 years old.

[boxtrap21]

3:50

Or go to The Pirate Bay...

[thoseonedudes1]

ahh man! i wanted to be surprised about the box! thanks for ruining it for me!!!!!

(kidding ;p)

[Ragkid]

01:10 GABEN! *troll face*

[schwarzeneger1000]

Can you only get this game for ps3 in orange box?

[darklyt750]

can you make your own maps on xbox version?

[udierus]

OH MY GOD!! WHAT A SPOILER!?!?!?

[princeofrance]

your intro is kinda long and its the same screen its really boring

[09cbrracer]

Good review, just have a stronger opinion with your next one. People WANT to know what U think of the game.

[al260513]

I dunno where to begin,

so lets start with graphics. lol

[95800kurt]

is the starting music from Mario Kart?

[joejoejrshab]

@95800kurt Thats the version of still alive (credit song) thats played on the radios throughout the game.

[MeYouAndYourBoob]

WOW!!.. Wow! Bit excited arent you -_-

[RyanMinaker]

@MeYouAndYourBoob lol

[ethteck]

@MeYouAndYourBoob Rofl, yeah...monotone for the win

[jorieske]

I loved the song at the end =D AUTOTUNE !!

[Rapidkid12]

the cake is a lie!

[SniperStefan]

One of my favourite games EVER! I loved this video!

[SniperStefan]

One of my favourite games EVER!

[mistermaster7492]

well, i would give gameplay a 10, because my mind got blown cuz of the uniqueness

[outlettered]

I dont have a graphics card for my pc! Is it still worth getting the orange box for my 360?

[ANTIcoFilms]

did you get this in the orange box? because I saw your review on TF2 and there both in it so... just wondering

anyways, I should be getting the Orange Box soon so I havve been playing the flash version of this and the first level was almost impossible for me then up untill level six it was WAY too easy and I still cant beat level 6!!!

[THATKIDREACH]

It's such a good game, but I beat it in an hour :/

[mrvladycastellanos]

@001MarioRocks well I dont have it but by the gameplay footage I say its not that scary just creepy.lol

[wetthebed6]

@mrvladycastellanos a lot of people think that portal is ment to be scary it not its ment to be funny

[vennom59]

buy the orangebox people on steam and then get insanly much new stuff in gmod and many hours of fun when you are done buy counter strike soource and get some new weapons in gmod and play online :D

[poliv67]

Why did you put an Half Life 2 song to prove the music in portal is cool?

[YRUHere96]

@bobjoemagee shitty troll is shitty

[bobjoemagee]

Shitty review is shitty

[xXxValveFanxXx]

PORTAL ALKSDFJALKSDFJAKLSDJFKLASDJF

[evillord77]

can't wait for portal 2 lol

[MasterSword291]

what system is this for?

[Hedgehogstudioss]

I have a question. If I buy the CD copy for PC instead of downloading it from Steam, Does it still launch from Steam and do I still get all the mods and updates?

[oncore41]

is this for the 360?

[ilovcheese123]

@oncore41 You can get this on the orange box and I think it's on xbla too

[Saintbalor]

This is a GREAT game... it's short, but not too short... it's as long as a game like this can be before it gets boring. Though sometimes, you kinda wish the puzzles were a bit harder. The AI that watches over you all the way is hilarious. Perfect example of how good can a game be without complicated Gamplaying

[MarioFan124]

Guys, I have Portal and I play it on my Acer Aspire, but it's pretty laggy. Can someone tell me how to make it run faster, if possible?

[nameno1elsehas]

@MarioFan124 go to options, click video and put everything on low and the portal render on 1

[TheMattMX]

I watch porn everyday.

[MarioFan124]

I found Portal as a stand alone today at EB Games. I checked the requirements, and noticed my computer didn't have some of the needed things. Thankfully I'm getting a new computer in two days for high school. I'll also be able to try out awesome games like this.

[xxxCRAZYLOVExxx]

this game seems boring, making me feeling like a rat in a maze dosnt spark any enthousiasm in me for playing this game.....

[DC360mwj]

LOL i was downloading portal first slice demo on steam, i went out for dinner, came back, opened steam then WOAH it was downloading portal as in the full version lol

idk how that happened but i got to play the full version for free ^.^

[randomspawn]

@DC360mwj :0 that happened to me,yay for free games :P

[lennonzb654]

u suck at fighting turrets

[homerdero9]

witch version of nvidia do you need to play this? (at least)

[KILLZONE31175]

its really confuzing but i love this game

[Handymancinema]

I must say.. it's the best review on portal so far.. seen like 15 of them and all of them are crap, except this one ;p

[daddymunk]

and now waitn for portal 2

[Wrash16]

Good review, but I think the scores for gameplay and sound should be switched

[FlippytheMasterofPie]

I really, really enjoyed this game. However, everyone was talking about it before I played it, so the ending with GlaDos was spoiled for me.

[zakkfilms]

speed running is what makes it replayable

[TheJunkman1986]

how do i make a map?!

[thebober10]

why do you keep getting shot? you suck at this game

[viliussmproductions]

lol intro is 23 seconds lenght

[fromdirttodustpro1]

hey mate I subbed keep reviewing games!

[ethteck]

@blahblahblaha1a2a3

I didn't at all give the game away.

[viliussmproductions]

well everyone already knows that "the cake is a lie"

[scribbleskecth]

@blahblahblaha1a2a3 he didnt give anything away

[DreamSnap]

@blahblahblaha1a2a3 Are you being sarcastic about the box thing?

[isaactalleyguy]

@blahblahblaha1a2a3 I hate 3 year olds like you who think that because something in life doesn't go your way you can solve it by saying "ogm fuk u u fukr, >;[] ur cut olololol." Stop crying.

[Jonathansh91]

@blahblahblaha1a2a3 i already played the whole game and he didn't give it away at all

[xFIRERUSHx]

@blahblahblaha1a2a3 a not even good game that leasts ony less than an hour. yeah. so mad.

[JAWdog777]

@blahblahblaha1a2a3 this is such a funny comment!

[elobiretv]

replay 9/10? wtf if you dislike the replay factor then it should be rated at least 5, rather than just saying well i didnt like it but others may

[ethteck]

@elobiretv

Why don't you make the video?

[elobiretv]

@ethteck i will once i actually played it, a review is supposed to be your point of view and not what most people think.

[DreamSnap]

@ethteck He has a point. You could've said more on why it didn't appeal to you. Not that it matters since you explained what else the game offers after the main game is done, but it still would be nice seeing your insight on it.

[nameno1elsehas]

@ethteck Im respondin to ur comments 2 elobiretv n blahblahblaha from 3 months ago (I kno its kinda late) 1st, u did hint at the storyline (spoiler)It had a pretty important twist where gladys went from "lets test stuff" to "I dont need u any more so ima kill u" Not knowin tht there will b a twist makes it much more surprisin. 2nd, elo was just givin u some advice. If u dont like somethin, u as the reviewer can go ahead n giv it a lo rating. Show sum balls man Take a stand

[nameno1elsehas]

@ethteck oh yea, why'd you just run at the turret in at 2:36? you kinda failed there lol

[elobiretv]

@ethteck if i did it would obviously be more honest than this shit.

[HatersGonnaHate1000]

@ethteck Fucking owned, nice review. i subbed :)

[TheSevenCamels]

@ethteck Well, I think he made a fair point. You,a nd many other reviewers, do tend to rate games far, far too high.

[addelh]

@elobiretv "the replay is huge and even though i'm not very fond of it, i'm not gonna mark it down just because i dont like it personally" dont you listen?? he states it doesn't appeal to him but is giving the REPLAY FEATURE an honest rating for itself..

good review bro ^^

[TotalGameMaster]

@elobiretv hey dumbass let him do a review so fuck u

[kolim997]

@elobiretv A reviewer shouldnt rate on how much they like a game, but on how good the game is.

[elobiretv]

@kolim997 a review is your own opinion of the game. of course you should rate it on what u think of it, not what you expect others may think. thats the whole point of it.

[Majorasmaskstudios2]

its fun AND EVIL!!

[TransformersFan167]

THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[R1DDL3RS]

One rant I have about this game is TOO SHORT and once youve done the game once it is no fun when your not playing it on advanced cos you know the puzzle

[MadSkillzTV]

great revieew! specially for your first review :)

kudos!

[sonicspeed011]

And until May 24, Portal is free!

[tvcrunkfool]

free on steam now

[fallout766]

IT'S FREE NOW!!!!!

[wightknight121]

its free on steam right know

[dcn66100]

i got mac version!

[SwedishGamer96]

[kkKLAYman4223]

i was sure id wait for portal 2 to cqome out but i cant resist

[RedNeckss115]

zombies would be cool

[Reublol]

bad review

[Roy9030]

@Reublol Lame troll

[Roy9030]

Lol wow

[DMethod13]

not a bad review, keep it up dude.

[900under]

My iPod crap out but it was amzing game reveiw i finshed it on sunday

[OrdoMallius]

Cake is NOT a lie.

[tehzombeh98]

@OrdoMallius While the cake does exist, the idea of a test subject getting the cake is a lie.

[ronws23]

Best ending ever. Screw any other game. GlaDos+ End Song = Cake for all

[brianbot123]

@ronws23 YOUR LIEING.there is no cake.or is there?

[JeremieTUT]

how can such a cool game cost only 8$ canadian?

[crazyzach5]

because it is really short. only about an hour long I hear.

[alexlandsbergs]

exactly. you buy it in orange box for $15 canadian

[dodgydogman]

2.5-4. Best 3 hours of my gaming life.

[xthedragonsmasterx]

@crazyzach5 yeah it wud be an hour if u already know how to solve the puzzles. length depends on players intelegence even the final boss is defeated "by finding a way to defeate it"

[crazyzach5]

yeah it took me about 2 or 3 hours. Hard to remember because I beat it at 1:00 in the morning or something. such an epic game

[PlatyMoos]

its like 2 hours long

[samquineyproductions]

my the "surprise at the end", he means the song called "still alive" sung by glados. lol i used too many quotes

[itubeyoudont]

can you create a map on the xbox version? please reply

[TheMottyftw]

No.

[paimail21]

no I am sorry but that is impossible, get a PC

[42crazyguy]

yes pc is superior in every way!!!!!

[sumoslam1]

this is like a half life version of another game you dont see your hands when you pick something up.

[zenophas]

If you want more of a challenge, go to We Create Stuff, they got a map pack for this.

[Demonknight192]

This guy sounds like a male GLaDOS

[interista7878]

As far as minblowing "2001" experience this one tops the list. Way too short and somewhat of a spoiled opportunity, but awesome none the less.

The whole Orange Box was great too. Never been much of a FPS guy and more or less got the series forced down my throat by a friend who said this would top Mass Effect, Independence War2, Another World etc and I'm so f-ing glad he did, cause it's just... wow, what a freakin sci-fi adventure.

All-in-all the Orange Box is no doubt a 10. No doubt.

[HemGlassBilen73]

Just completed the game,

It was cool and all, abit scary tbh.

One thing i didint like was,it was too easy.

only got stuck 2 times, and both was when i was trying to..overthink things, and not look at the problem at a simplier view

[ethteck]

I agree. I'm a very scared person when it comes to games so I was scared too. Haha. But you are right. Only a few of the levels really challenged me.

Thanks for commenting.

[102slasher]

i completle agre with u 100 %

[Railware]

Grr...Just bought this game with OB and Im spending most my time playing TF2. But Im a mondo scared person and I dont know what happens in portal that is scary. PLS TELL MEH! But hey...Ravenholm in HL2 didn't leave an impression on me lol.

[paimail21]

Portal is not scary...

it's just creepy, kinda

the mood is strange

[dodgydogman]

Portal isnt scary. Its not suposed to be, its called "dark humor". Its completely different to scray.

[sailoreris123]

@dodgydogman

true but GlaDos can say really creepy things sometimes

[Roweanos212]

@ethteck you should play deadspace!!!

[kurvos]

... damn, can people never get satisfied? I have never seen anyone give a full score... I mean; why not?

Also, you really sound bored, like you really just want to have the review over with. Try to sound more enthusiastic.

[ethteck]

I'm very satisfied with Portal. A perfect score is almost impossible on my scale. It takes a game where I like every part about it and don't hate any part to get a full score.

So I love many of the games I play and review and am very satisfied. Does this mean they are perfect? No. But I still like the games.

Also this was my first review. Try looking at my other ones. You might see a change.

[ngilford1]

@kurvos Nothing is given a perfect score because nothing is perfect. Everything could be better, and with only several levels that include complete and challenging gameplay, this game is no exception.

[nanookthecrazyskulla]

im getting this in a few days, this really helped!

[Minimat5567]

i still play this game...

[Eman2t3]

I find this game awesome. The advanced maps make you think harder about the possibility's of where Portals can go. Once you play though this game a few times you will get the hang of the Portal gun. Really this game makes you think hard at times! The only other replay thing I did not like was the time trials and other trials. They are really repetitive to me. But this game will play a huge part in HL2!

[jonazz48]

awesome reviews i subscribe you

[Handofblood234]

at the end the computer voice girl is the bad guy i guess.

if you beat her at the end of the game you end up back at your home.

i think.

[Eman2t3]

Nope that is not the end....

[PurepOis0n123]

@handofblood234

you are an asshole

[Bronx1875]

wtf happens at the end?

[HemGlassBilen73]

SPOILER!!

You defeat the "robot", fly out in the air, land outside, you can hear birds, see trees, the sky, etc etc

[llamapaddocks]

is portal on pc?

[ethteck]

Yes.

[msvideogame]

no you can play portal on mac on cross over

[dumdidumdo]

crossover sucks

[Bonelessgeko]

how many hours is the story line?

[iamVERYrandom]

For an experienced player... about an hour, maybe an hour and a half, but on my first playthrough it took me around 2 hours. BUT. The Flash Version Map packkeeps you going for even longer, and has a better ending! *hint hint nudge nudge* xD

[eatme765wes]

nice review man, keep em' coming!

[Omaklymsn]

Where is the ability to make a map?

[ethteck]

The map creation process involves some 3rd party software and I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject, but if you go to thinkingwithportals, you can learn a lot more about it.

[advancedlamb]

Naw, the map creation process is released with the SDK for the particular source engine, i think it's released right now

[Omaklymsn]

Thank you.

[ethteck]

Thanks to you too and thanks also for subscribing! :)

[advancedlamb]

your reviews aren't bad, better and more credible than most unprofessional reviews

[ethteck]

Thanks very much.

[masterathedark]

etheck your reviews rock :)

[ethteck]

Thanks and glad you like them.

[masterathedark]

anyways i subscribed :)

[ethteck]

Oh and thanks for that too. :)

[Roofroller]

Wow, subscribed. You'r reviews are amazing and intelligent.

[ethteck]

Thank you for commenting on both of my videos and subscribing.

[jblilbear]

I watched my husband play this game over and over. I laugh at the female voice constantly and the ending and ending song is hilarious. It's awesome! But I HATE puzzles so I'll probably never play it lol.

[hersheljr]

the cake is a lie

[blah11blah]

Wow, actually a very good review. Especially if its only your second time. You sound better than most "game reviewing youtubers"

[ethteck]

Thanks! This was actually my very first review.

[lookman373]

nice i like the game but it is to short

[nebulae87]

too short???? the game has like a million chapters

Can you get Portal seperatly from the orange box?
