Default Prime: "Once again, Metacritic is being used to voice fan disapproval of decisions made by developers and publishers. However, unlike the great vote-down of Dragon Age 2, there is a decent number of complaints that actually have nothing to do with the contents of the game.
Thus far, Portal 2 is coming in at an incredible critic Metascore of 95, the highest of any game to date this year. The user score, however, is not so spotless, due to a glut of 0/10 votes from gamers. There are some complaints that the game is too short, but many of the complaints are from PC users who are upset about the existence of day-one DLC and the promotional push urging people to purchase the Potato Sack Indie Bundle from Steam to get it to release earlier."
Jack writes: "Yet again browsing the latest offers in the Steam Spring Sale has led us to track down the very best. In terms of price to quality, we don’t think that it gets much better than this. Portal 2 is now less than a dollar, and if you haven’t got it already, now is the time to pick it up."
Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
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.
Chris Brandrick, writing for overkill, speaks to Stefan Heinz, the lead developer on Portal: Revolution, a new fan-made campaign prequel to Portal 2.
valve suck so much at making games now, opting just to smaug on top of an enormous pile of money,
that fans got so desperate that they have to make their own games.
this industry is fucking over.
As much as I like portal 2, I deny to buy it for full price. It only has 12 hours coop and single player, then garbage.
I love it
who doesnt like Portal? dum people das who! I'm on a horse
Took me 12hrs for single plyr.
Haven't started coop.
Stupid thing is the amazing game has some odd trophies.
2 inpaticulr require you to play with a stranger 3 different times and since it has no matchmaking....I guess I gotta use the net to find eligible strangers! Lol
No, but I couldn't care less about it.
