But can it shred Aperture Turrets?

A very belated thank you. It was up later in the day and I eventually ended up getting it gifted to me anyways! I was just worried they were doing some sort of exclusivity shenanigans.

Not available for preorder on steam itself? oh whatever.


Oh, yes it is, here you go:

For those that didn't see it:

that explains the ending change and setup between portal 1 and 2.

I disagree with him actually, I love the game for what it is. It gives more of a back story to Aperture (for me, at least, having never played the half life games) and I got an odd sense of nostalgia and wonder going through the Cave Johnson parts.

I never got stuck on a puzzle, although I did have to spend half an hour on one of them, and I think having a richer and fun story is quite a bonus, rather then a trade off.

Just my input, anyway.

I think the overarching problem is that they probably set an early goal of going for an E10 ESRB rating. That meant a kid-friendly plot, kid-friendly comedy, kid-friendly settings, and even kid-friendly antagonists (who are both sympathetic, and the main one apologizes at the end).

In the first game there was always a sense of foreboding lonliness, and a really creepy sense that whoever built Aperture Science really didn't give a shit about killing their test subjects.

In Portal 2, you've got a joke-cracking sidekick with you every step of the way, and the disregard for human life doesn't seem menacing and ominous, just ridiculous.

I loved playing Portal 2, and I enjoyed it with the new pure-comedy tone, but I did kinda miss that creepy ominous vibe from the first game.

Oh Gabe Johnson... your company makes portal guns, sentry turrets, intelligent bots, and boots that keep a person alive in a great fall. I would sink my money into Aperture Science any day!
