Finally decrypted the files this morning...should have just waited to download, it would have been faster.
Played the first 6 or 7 levels of the intro. Feels like Portal 1 but prettier. Same great humor, already laughed several times and love the high-strung British robot. I have high expectations for the rest of the game... 4/19/2011 9:53:52 AM |

Wanted to HURT HIS FACE.

I'm enjoying the game, but the load times are a bit irritating. At one point there's a rather tense scene, and it's broken in the middle by a load screen. 4/19/2011 11:19:11 PM |

Only the 2nd video game I've purchased in the last year...love it.
Spent about 4-5 hours this afternoon on solo, then 2 more with the roommate on co-op once he got home.
REALLY enjoying it so far...kinda annoyed at the "interlude" levels at the abandoned lab where there's tons of open space and only one specific spot to throw a portal and you have to look all over the level for it, but there were only a few of them. But prior to that and since that it's been great 4/20/2011 12:15:18 AM |

I think I found the last straw with Gamestop.
I went in to pre-order the pc version, and instead they talked me into getting the PS3 version since it would come with a free pc version. Here's what they conveniently forgot to mention; you have to have a PS3 and a PS Network account to be able to activate the pc version. I don't own a PS3. I don't own a PS-anything. Were it not for the amazing coincidence that my sister is home and brought her PS3, I would not be able to so much as install this on my rig.
Thanks, Gamestop. Thanks for fucking nothing. 4/20/2011 7:33:39 AM |

So you bought a game you don't have a console for and it's their fault?4/20/2011 11:20:37 AM |

Yeah I didn't explain myself very well.
I wanted the pc version, but they said that I'd get it for free anyway if I got the PS3 version instead. I figured I'd give the PS3 one to my sister as a gift and keep the pc version for myself. Instead I'm finding out that I have to have an account with PlayStation to even be able to install the damn thing.
So yeah, I guess it is my fault. But they can still kiss my ass for misleading me like that. 4/20/2011 12:38:20 PM |

How's the length of this game... SP campaign? To me that's what brings the $60 price tag into question. All because of the brevity of the first title. So the question becomes:
How can you justify paying $60 for this game if it's only 2 hours long? 4/20/2011 1:11:23 PM |
wilso All American 14657 Posts user info edit post |
it's fairly long. i estimate i've spent 6-8 hours so far and the end isn't in sight yet.
i'd put its length as close to half-life 2. 4/20/2011 1:13:22 PM |
