Hmmmm...I was expecting more from that to be honest. With the exception of the Doom 3 tentacle guy (lol wut) - id have only really shown combat against piss-weak melee attackers that run suicidally at the player in a straight line, and usually die before getting within 20m of him.

It would be the equivalent of pimping Elder Scrolls V by only releasing videos of the player beating off slightly over-grown rats in sewers, and nothing else. 

Sounds messy. 

 

Sounds like something you'd do in daikatana 

Perfect 10? 

I still haven't finished it yet, classes have ben getting in the way. It's a lot longer than portal, even with just the single player campaign. Cave Johnson is my hero. 

I think so. I also haven't finished it yet tho.....

Great game - good ending. Loved it. Was a little short, either that or im very clever....... 

I'm suprised there's no portal 2 thread yet... 

I have nine hours played on steam. It's a puzzle game, not an rpg. You're not going to get 25 hours or more play time out of it. I need to play the coop campaign, anyone else want to? 

I got a little over 8 hours from the SP alone, still need to do coop and I'm anxious for the actual SDK to be released. 

Thats how long I've played it for. Finished the SP campaign. 

IMO 

:) 

Looking forwards to it TBH. 

an hour and a half, tops? I didn't remember the puzzles that well AND I'm an idiot.

I haven't played Portal 2 yet, but doesn't 9 hours sound like an appropriate length for that sort of game? I can't see it being something that would benefit from a more-than 10 hour playtime. 

Ricky: Yes, I think that 9 hours is a bit short for a �30 game. My first playthrough took me less than 8, though, and the 10% pre-order discount isn't enough to make up for that.

Daz: Not convinced that the co-op game really counts towards game length. Yet to try it, though, as the person I'll be playing with hasn't finished single player yet.

starbuck: Hour and a half??? Took me 2:20 on my 3rd playthrough, so you must either know some sick speed tricks, or got your timing wrong... 

But I also went for the achievements and replayed certains bits (and sometimes the wrong ones). It's definitely and conceivable longer than P1, though 1.5 hours seems too extremely fast. This game is also nicely varied with old and new test chnmbers and different industrial bits inbetween. Plus it still looks very good even on the aging Source engine; some quite epic scenes or areas.

I agree the writing is great and the puzzles much fun. Some had me stumped for a while but when seemed actually easy after I had figured them out. Nice secrets and extra puzzles, e.g. the rat-man's dens and the chamber monitors. Too bad discovering all the dens wasn't an achievement - sometimes a 1/12 counter would have given me extra satisfaction in a trigger_secret way.

The Borealis dock is a nice little hint at the HL series and of course the few implicit and explicit Black Mesa references. The year prints on the old test chambers felt a bit 'off' maybe (although they were also nice to establish a sense of historic/scientific development or something, along with the modernization of the equipment) - is it really supposed to mean they had a portal gun back in the 50s? Or at least 70s? 

i guessed my time wrong. Short though. Very short. But pretty much the right length for what it was. 

 

I think. 

I got through the SP portion of the game in about 8 hours at my regular pace and was entirely satisfied with the experience. 

So I'm downloading l4d2 campaigns, are there any i should take special intrest in? Right now i have Satan's Little Helper, Overkill, Haunted Forest, Precinct 84, Tour of Terror, I Hate Mountains, Dead Series, and Open Road.
