Did you buy Portal 2? *No Spoilers*

I'm never going to buy it because I am a computer gamer and this game was on consoles thus it will be unplayable, because that's how I roll.

In all seriousness, I'm gonna wait for a sale, I hardly buy any games full priced these days.

Sort of. The pc version came free with the PS3 version. I am downloading the Steam version now. I wonder how much better its going to look on my GTX580 compared to the console version ( which looks great by the way. ) Does the pc version support the 360 controller...that would be great.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I do not think it will look any better on PC as opposed to console will it? Just doesn't use enough resources to make it stand out between platforms. A Valve guy said all versions look completely identical, unless he was saying that just to make the console peeps happy. (spose you can enjoy a better resolution, but do not think much else with your computer)

I voted no because I havn't bought it yet. Not really waiting for the price to come down just trying to decide how to buy. Probably go Amazon or Newegg.

Portal is a short andcheap game for me. I won't buy it for more than €10.

Of course i bought it! The game is amazing!

Ok guys, so at what price point will you go it's time to buy? For me I think it's $20-25, is when I'll probably make the purchase.

Is it me or the SP games seem to be shorter than they used to be? I remember buying Final Fantasy 7 on the PC for $50, and that game took at least 50 hours with minimum exploration to complete. Now, you wait for years for a quality Valve title and finish the game in 1 day :( And not very many extras in there. Replayability should be a high priority for SP games, but it's not sadly.

nope, wont buy.not my type of game. i may have given a thought if it were a PC exclusive though.

Lately, $10 - $15 has been my sweet spot and even then, on occasion, I've felt ripped off (yeah, I'm looking at you Mass Effect 2). I used to buy games on release day all the time but lately, not so much. For me, most games have simply become too short and too shallow to be worth anything more than $15.

I really hope you aren't being serious.

Wait there's no tools for making your own levels? That was one thing that could've made the game amazing.

$49 on Steam..."I don't think so, Tim".

It looks like a fun game, but I'm going to wait for the price to drop.

saw it was $50 bucks... mmm... bought it.

Loving every freaking second of it.

Co-op is brilliant. me n a buddy stayed up till the wee hours of the morning playing together and it was very, VERY entertaining.

Definately worth the price tag. It's well rounded, it has GREAT and amazing new mechanics to the portal systems, and it actually takes a brain to play.

I would recommend this in a heartbeat.

No sadly. I was in my Gamestop today, had a copy in my hand, and ended up buying a copy of Mortal Kombat instead.

As far as I see many people waiting for price drop - well guys you are wrong by doing that, it's not as the original game which was short and well kinda off story; this time the game looks better, with better storyline, more levels - much more levels - and most important with a co-op mod as well. worth every pennyPredatorRules

Yup. That's the reason I got MK instead. I know I'll be able to get Portal 2 for around $30 in about a month or two. I'd rather wait then pay full price. Patience is key.

Until then, I'm not wasting my money on this short puzzle game. I kinda regret getting the first. The puzzles are fun for maybe 20 minutes and then you get bored.shakmaster13

It's not overly short - I got 12+ hours out of the two campaigns, and I'm on about 20+ now that I'm playing through with the commentaries turned on. Nor is it boring, unless puzzles and sharp writing aren't your thing.

Anyway, Portal 2 once again proved why Valve are the best at what they do.
I loved every minute of it, and don't regret spending $45 on it (even though they gave me a free copy a week ago). The writing, puzzles, characters, visual design, pacing...everything about it is much better than the original game, and that's saying something since the original was so good.

I get why people were reluctant to buy it, thinking that Valve weren't going to be able to turn a basic concept into a full-blown game...but they succeeded, in one of the funniest games I've played in years.

So, message to everyone: buy it.

Just finnished the SP and its brilliant although I find it short and the puzzles seemed less complicated then the first on but the game is absolutely funny and great dialog, havent tried coop but I dont know may need mic and good friend to play with.

One of the few games that made me finish them instantly

Nope, doesn't deserve the price tag, when it's $10 I'll get it though.abuabed

It's definitely worth more than $10, but to each their own. I got a free copy via the potato ARG and I still don't even remotely regret spending $45 on it.

I'm waiting for a price drop as well as more free time to actually play it.

I was wrong about this game.

It's worth every penny.

A friend from steam convinced me to buy it to play co-op.

I like the co-op, but i like the SP better. The game is very funny, the music is very good.

The flaw is that the puzzles are not very challenging, and before the gel comes in, they are also very boring.

Portal was better when it comes to this. But still Portal 2 was funnier. And the ending was epic.

Console port? :roll:

No. It's just as much a PC game as any other Valve game. Not much replay value, but my time with it was worth everything i payed for it.

I guess i will replay it again in a few months.

Yes and it was honestly one of the best SP experiences I've ever played. It may have been short, but I got it for $35 and I gladly would have purchased it for the full $60 if necessary. It was worth every penny. Valve is the Pixar of the games industry.

[spoiler] I was nearly tearing up during the turret symphony. There's only two games in the series and it was still incredibly sad to leave it all behind, likely for good. [/spoiler]

Yes, and I don't regret it. Wonderful game.

I had it preordered, and im glad i did... great game!
