Portal 2 in Februari!

[xer0s]

Delays are fine by me. Just means they're actually trying to make a quality product and have as few bugs as possible. I'd rather them do this than release a shit game...

Plus it gives me more time to give Portal a try. Still haven't played it...

No no no no no.
That is the same horse shit I've been hearing about Gran Turismo 5 lately as well.
It's all just a case of good project management. You know, you can have a good game that is indeed finished on time. Delays don't always mean that the developer can add another layer of polish while this is the most heard excuse for delays all round. I'd bet my dick and left testicle that a large majority of delays is due to improper project management and improper planning, and not a developer or creative genius thinking the product needs some additional polishing.

Also, publishers (I think they're mostly responsible for this) should stop throwing releasedates at products for which they cannot be certain they can release it by then.

... Maybe valve should release Portal using episodic releases like Half-Life 2 since this will mean faster development time and less waiting between games, a unicorn told me this is true.

i know rite

Apparently the PS3 Steam version of Portal can play coop mode together with the PC and Mac versions of the game. Pretty cool and should work well, because the game isn't about speed or twitch reflexes.

unless you're trying to get all gold medals

I wonder if they'll let PS3 players use mouse and keyboard?
Unreal Tournament 3 did, so there is precedent.

Also, this is one in the eye for Microsoft and xbox Live. If Valve take this to its logical conclusions, we could be looking at a slew of great PC games making their way to PS3, with free online multiplayer across platforms.
There's why you'll never see this on 360; Microsoft would try and force Valve into finding a way to monetise the whole thing.

Close to my birthday, so perhaps I'll get lucky

I also do firmly believe devs base their release dates on consumers' birthdays.

[obsidian]

They forgot Canada in the pre-order list... Fuck you Valve!

[AmIdYfReAk]

ign calls it an unforgettable experience.

lol ign and such, but their review is actually quite professional.

[U4EA]

I still haven't played Portal [it's on my list though] >.<

[MKJ]

get to it. you can beat it in a day

[U4EA]

Currently window shopping on Steam, is The Orange Box worth it? I've played HL2 but not Episode 1 & 2. Not interested in TF2.

It's either Portal for $10 or Portal + Episode 1 & 2 for $20.

[MKJ]

if you liked HL2 youll like Ep1&2

Ep1 is a IMO bit bland event-wise, Ep2 is awesome.

[Captain]

You should've gotten Portal when it was free for a whole damn month

[U4EA]

Yea probably, I only just got Steam when they released that free alien game recently.

[Don Carlos]

I have a copy I can gift if you want it petal? x
