Mattamue Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 So, I finished Portal. It was short but I loved the ending like a mother****er. I don't remember an ending I've loved so much. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killalou Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Portal? What is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattamue Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 You have a gun. This gun makes portals on surfaces. It makes two portals. Imagine shooting these two portals: one on the wall next to your fridge and the other on the floor next to you. When you're thirsty you lean over into the floor and grab your fridge door through the portals, open the door, and pull a beer back through it. You have a game.

Kinicky Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 So you have a game about shooting portals and drinking beer? How, pray tell, do you win? Get your character drunk until the game shuts off because he passed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 and btw, your fridge comparison does NOT compare, nothing like shooting a wall, running across a level shooting another spot and level dancing like a mofo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattamue Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Okay, so it didn't fully illustrate the point. If at first you don't succeed you fail. This is from some media event and it has the robot narration that makes the game, imo. The beer analogy fits - you just need to imagine using the portals for more than that. Like putting a portal above your toilet and one beside you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycel Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Here's a (buggy) flash version of the game, to give you an idea of how it works. I've heard the real game is far funnier and more entertaining, but the flash game still gives you a good idea of the mechanics in a 2D environment.

Icor Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I never knew a game this short could be this epic... THAT... is the power of tons of dialogue. Dialogue made System Shock 2 what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dialogue made System Shock 2 what it was. A great story makes a game more memorable than great graphics or great gameplay ever can... graphics and gameplay can always be improved upon, but a great story is always unique.

Pieman Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yes, being a fat kid myself that ending made me wicked happy. If anyone finds an mp3 of the final song anywhere please tell me where to download it. I'd listed to it at work all day, because it pretty much sums up my job.
