It's all about Portal. TF2 is already here, and HL2:Ep2 can wait. When I'm bored of Portal I'll be sure to immerse myself in Ep2 though. Preloading is done, bring on 8am Wednesday I hope my lecturer will repeat his General relativity lectures if I'm "too ill" to go. I'm sure he'll understand...I should have bought a laptop then I'd be able to do both.

Same engine etc should run the same, maybe slightly slower, but it's not going to be as much of a jump as TF2 was. So if you run that fine I can't see any problems.

Hmmm, Portal finished.  Fun, but short-lived and relatively one-dimensional.


I'm still alive and there is no cake.  And damn that is one awful song at the end! :crazy:

The song at the end was awesome. And I'll just ignore any comments that don't sing it's praises.
But yes a very short game. I expect more than 3 hours gameplay for any game. To be fair on it, I still have the last advanced mode level left (it is actually impossible when you get to the turret room), and haven't started the challenge mode. but still pretty dissappointinly short.
Not started EP2 yet though, so plenty of fun to be had.

Portal. Very moreish, but it's alright.

My bigger question, I've not played episode 1 yet....should I finish that first?
Title: Preload Episode 2 and portal now :D
Post by: Carr0t on October 12, 2007, 02:57:25 PM
Yes. No contest. Definately.

There is a quick movie at the beginning of ep 2 that acts as a refresher to what happened in ep 1, for people who've not played it for a while. But if you play 2 before 1 you'll either be confused by exactly what's going on, or get stuff completely spoilered and make playing ep 1 less fun.

HL@ played it ages ago, EP1 finished this weekend. Just started on EP2.
Had a short bash at TF2 but would like a rundown on the game with some familiar faces first.
