Forums: The portal game series

I love the Portal series. I agree on it being one of my favorite FPS.

However I like where it ended, and believe the ending is indeed the end. As much as I want another Portal, given the way 2 ended it would feel awkward.

My OCDness is aching to say that Portal is a Puzzle series, not an FPS.

...sowwy :I

It's both. Suck it OCD! Don't let it win!!

Well if it were an FPS, you'd be shooting things such as enemies and what not. FPS's refer to using the gun as a weapon, when in Portal, the only thing you're aiming at is the environment around you. It's a first person spatial puzzle game.

I couldn't help but be suspicious of GLADoS though. She never does what she says

I think the fact that Portal 2 proper has millions of fan-made levels that you can download and is built-in to the stock game is the main reason they aren't making a Portal 3. Why bother when you've crowd-sourced new levels out to millions of players who are creating more levels in a week then your staff could in 5 years? Basically unless they come up with some new stuff like the gels and whatnot that are significantly different, there's not much else they can add game-play wise which has been the main thing about the game more so then the story.

True... but I still would love an official Portal 3

I just played portal 2 but I totally enjoyed it! The ending was a real mindf*ck and the co-op modus is a lot of fun, especially when having the opportunity to use Skype and if you want to get all the achievements on steam!

I like games for which I pay less and have more fun with (you don't need the newest AAA games to have much fun). Got Portal 2 for 5€ in the sale and had around 40 hours of fun with it.

have you tried the custom co-op maps yet?

Nihilumbra

Yes! Did you too? I especially like the labyrinth maps. They are fun to do and sometimes quite challenging

Yes

And I love those

Portal 2 is easily one of my all time favorite games. Portal 1, on the other hand...

What about it?

I did not enjoy the first Portal.. :/

What did you dislike about it?

The puzzles felt more convoluted, less practical, and less rewarding than Portal 2. I feel that it was praised mainly for the new gameplay technique. Portal 2 fixed all of this IMO.
