I'm going to wait for a new huge steam sale and pick the game for 20€ :D I'm actual protesting Portal 2, because it's taking valuable development time away from HL2:Ep3 (come on, Valve. It was 3+ years ago, and ended on a cliffhanger! Get on it!). But calling it a HL2 mod, as though that fact in and of itself was derogatory, is just ignorant. Listen to the Portal commentary. Making Portals work is a lot harder than it looks. They had to actually break some of the fundamental design constraints that most game engines are built around to even make it work. That's also why you haven't seen other games have portal-guns just to steal from it; because it's hard to do it right. Team Fortress 2 is more of a mod of HL2 than Portal. And I'd take that game over any FPS released since the day it shipped hands down. | ||

I agree with the guy that said Portal was overrated. I finished the game but it wasn't particularly fun. It was definitely a clever idea and original for what it was, but that's all I really got out of it; I guess I'm just not a fan of the core game play. Apparently the sequel will supposedly feel more like a complete game, so here's hoping it turns out great. | ||

Portal 2 takes nothing away from hl2EP3 development, you can already see that EP3 will be on the improved engine portal 2 is on, also seperate teams, and Portal 2 single player, maybe multiplayer, are going to mix in with the half life 2 story, most likely more info on the Borealis | ||

Portal 2 takes nothing away from hl2EP3 development, you can already see that EP3 will be on the improved engine portal 2 is on, also seperate teams I bet you also think that Ep3 was being developed for the last 3 years too. Please. Valve made two L4D games while working on Portal 2 and constantly throwing content to TF2. Valve is not a particularly large company. If they hadn't made Portal 2, the time, money, and people that would have gone into Portal 2's development could have gone into Ep3's development. We could have been getting Episode 3 right now, but we're not. We're getting Portal 2 instead, because Portal somehow out-ranks Half-Life for development resources. Even though HL is the only reason Valve exists. | ||

You have to remember, the voice actor for Breen died, no one knows outside of valve IF they needed him for ep3, maybe he had a big part in it and had to change a lot of the story of ep3 to do without him. EP3 was not in development the last three years, probably very little and has been worked on a lot more for at least a year now. But im a major valve die hard, i grew up on half life, so i dont care if ep3 isnt out for another year or two because it will be the last half life for a long long time. | ||
