This year, Portal 2 celebrated its 10 year anniversary. It’s a milestone that, despite the game’s renown, has hardly been marked with the unbridled jubilation it deserves.
Jack writes: "Yet again browsing the latest offers in the Steam Spring Sale has led us to track down the very best. In terms of price to quality, we don’t think that it gets much better than this. Portal 2 is now less than a dollar, and if you haven’t got it already, now is the time to pick it up."
Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Chris Brandrick, writing for overkill, speaks to Stefan Heinz, the lead developer on Portal: Revolution, a new fan-made campaign prequel to Portal 2.
valve suck so much at making games now, opting just to smaug on top of an enormous pile of money,
that fans got so desperate that they have to make their own games.
this industry is fucking over.
Crazy how long it's been
They need to hurry up and do a third game, Ellen McLain isn't getting any younger, if she passes then I don't know if GLaDOS could be replaced
I would love a Portal 3, but I don't know if Valve does.
I'm surprised they haven't done a Portal game for VR.
I want Portal 3 and Left 4 Dead 3
You know in a way it's kind of a blessing that Valve hasn't worked on sequels. Look at the way things are right now. Sequels rarely have actual substantial improvements or evolution of gameplay. They're basically more of the same but prettier and with better animations and that seems to distract us in the moment until later you realize that you're basically playing the same game.
I always think of KH and how much of a difference there is between it and KH2 and I see it as how sequels should strive to be. Unpopular opinion but the more I think of it the more I realize that TLoU part 2 is a more of the same but prettier. You look at what Valve did when they finally decided to bring back Half Life and most will tell you it's still Half Life but they used existing tech to actually bring an evolution of gameplay of it rather than just make more of what 2 was. I see that as a win.
