Gaming has come a long way since the times of Counter-Strike, and Portal 2 just adds to that table of massive creations and masterpieces.
The Predecessor of the original mind boggling FPS puzzle, Portal, this game has a lot to improve upon, and boy has Valve struck gold with it! Some games have innovation, some games have amazing Graphics, this game combines the both and puts them into a puzzle with friends or without.
The story alone is set in the aftermath of Portal, after you destroy G.L.A.D.O.S, the psychopathic robot bent on Destroying you after a series of tests, the game it's self has the feel of destruction in the Aperture Science Laboratory's, undergrowth of grass and plants around you, debris everywhere as if an atomic missile has struck, you feel as if you in a world of complete chaos, but there's one thing that calms that chaos, Wheatley, your emotional robotic pal that guides you through some areas of the game and accompanies you through most of it.
The game play feels just right, smooth controls and easy to understand tutorials for new-comers of the game, what this game brings is something that most of us have never seen in a Console game before, Cross Platform Play and Chat, with the addition of steam overlay, if you've ever used steam before you'll feel right at home with it, as the menu is set out almost perfectly, Co-Op wise the game doesn't disappoint, you have more then 6-7 hours of Co-Op fun with your pal's and they can be from either the PC gaming community, or the PSN community, with custom levels from the PC gamers, it just adds to the re playability of the game.
When some games are bought, you want to be able to play it for the long run, Portal 2 for the PS3 and PC is one of those games, as much as the Single Player and Co-Op campaign are fun, you want to be able to go back but do something new, sometimes you can on the base Portal 2 levels, but the Custom Levels just add to that as users can make levels and then you can download them and play.
Simply to sum up this game, it's a masterpiece of gaming, I could say art but the graphics aren't that great, the game is there as something for people who want to get their brain running and jumping all over the place.
9.7/10.
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.
I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.
But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?
A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.
But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.
- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).
Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.
Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.
I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.
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.
Hybrid games that combine multiple genres are becoming more and more common these days but the concept has been around for ages. Here are some of the best hybrid games ever made.
What genres does that combine? I haven't started it yet, but I've been under the assumption that it was going to be a straight WRPG.
The concept of time plays a huge role in the story and imagery of Portal 2.
I have not played it, but I would have thought the graphics score would be a bit higher. Could you do an over under? Like looks better than ____, but not better than____. Just curious really.
this game is so overrated!
This game is truly amazing! I enjoyed the single player and when PSN is back I'll get ton the co-op! Can't wait!
