Crowbar Error 42 writes "Its been very heavily hinted at that Portal is set within the Half-Life universe but like many things added to the Half-Life universe in the sequel and in the following episodes there is no mention of things like Aperture Science in the original game.
While there is nothing Valve can do about it as hopefully they are hard at work on Half-Life: Episode 3, it looks like the creators of the Half-Life 2 mod, Black Mesa are hiding small references to Portal in their mod."
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
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.
The 2024 Game Anniversaries include some major titles including Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2, and Minecraft.
Anyone who's actually played HL2 and its episodes, and Portal would have realized that they are in the same universe. I mean, in Episode 2, they talk about the Borealis, which was Aperture's research vessel that was lost along with the part of its drydock.
Aperture was Blackmesa's rival research company. Like Apple to Microsoft, or AMD to Intel, etc.
Portal is completely canon with HL.
I never beat HL2 yet I still new enough to know portal was in the same universe.
Cant wait to play this mod, small changes and additions are great to keep the game in the half life universe. I reckon Valve shud embrace these guys and work with them to create a truly epic experience for the fans of Half-Life. They should hire these guys and contribute to what could possibly be the best mod ever created. I would happily pay full whack for this game.
lol, looks like Pandamobile ran out of speech bubbles.
Take a valium dude, if someone doesn't necessarily agree with you, don't need to get so worked up about it :)
As for me, I have a PS3 and a PC and I enjoy Valve games on the PC where they are meant to be played.
