All this portal 2 hype and little games related to having it released early... its ok if you actually plan or like the games, but there is no way in hell I would be playing something I dont really care for just to have a chance at portal 2 being released early... There is plenty of good games to play and little time. Valve may think that Portal 2 is some kind of second coming of christ or something but in reality its just another game.

Just another game that a lot of people want to play...Valve is honestly just using the hype created by the players to hype Portal 2.

Not sure that having a workaholic boss is that awesome to have

The boss being a workaholic is good, having a boss that wants you to be a workaholic is bad.

That said, the Prank episodes should show you the kind of person the Khoo really is.

I don't ever plan on playing it on the PS3 so I just bought it for Steam. Portal with a controller just doesn't appeal to me.

I might play it with my girlfriend split-screen CO-Op on the PS3...

Yeah, if you ever get a girlfriend.
Eh, we're back to posturing on the internet? What is this, 1996?

I'm hoping this as well but I'm doubting they'll allow this, the online code for the ps3 will likely allow that copy, ps3 or pc, to play online. But if I can play it on my pc and my brother in law can use the ps3 copy then that will be awesome.

As Meat pointed out, I was particularly talking about the split-screen co-op on the PS3. It won't be possible to use the linked PC version and play at the same time, as it has to be linked to your Steam account and that can only have one game token active at a time.

Maybe I missed it (quite probable), or maybe it's because I'm tired...

But is the 12 minute 'trailer' just going to be a single collection of the currently released ones?

Besides that has blues been over-ran with console lobbyist? Who wants to play portal on the ps3 or xbox when they can get it for PC on steam, and play it early once the PC community works together to open it up?

Bit melodramatic, aren't we?

People that want to play a game on a specific platform doesn't make them any less of a person for not wanting to play it on the same platform as you.

I buy what is going to get me the best value for my buck...and that is basically the PS3 version. I hold no allegiance to any platform, I hold more allegiance to my money.

Amazon's deals for the console versions is the best (effectively making it $35)...especially if you want to suck it up, get the PS3 version, and take the free PC/Mac version.

How do you get that deal? The game (PS3 version) is coming up as $54.99 for me.

You get a $20 credit when you pre-order either the PS3 or 360 version.

Get a $20 Amazon.com Credit
Pre-order Portal 2 for PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 and receive $5 off the original price of $59.99 as well as $20 in promotional credit toward the purchase of items shipped and sold by Amazon.com.

It's a post-credit, which is why I said "effectively"

Where is it cheaper? It's $55/$45 everywhere... and if you buy the potato sack/portal 2 bundle you get portal 2 for $40.

"As a tester, my job is finding bugs and doing what they call 100% coverage run test. They also called us into meetings and asked us our opinions about a lot of things. I said the game was boring and doomed to be a failure."

This stuck out to me...

Now see, I've been bounced around as QA for years amongst a lot of products, Blizzard's being one...they don't generally do anything of that sort and unless something changed in how their system works, it's highly improbable that what they said is true.

QA at Blizzard is like QA pretty much anywhere in the industry. He's actually describing out-of-house QA (you know, closed/open beta tests which do nothing other than gauge user-feedback).

100% coverage run? What the hell is that? Thats not regression testing, that's not white/black boxing, and if I guess is right, that is nothing more than going "they wanted us to play all of it completely", which is actually not even part of internal QA scheduling at any company I've worked with (again, Blizzard being one of them).

So I'm going to take everything they said with one huge grain of sea salt.

Reading the preview in OXM made it sound interesting, playing as Umbrella members and being basically assholes through-out the entire game.

That and the possibility to alter established events, like killing Leon before he can have his own game makes for some interesting switches to canon.

I doubt the concept. It's odd that they offer those 2 factions, instead of forcing the player to balance between economy and an healthy environment.
I mean, what other requirements can there be in the future in city building? You don't need fire watchers, a church or a local depot just around each corner. So what is left from the Anno concept?

If based on a similar ground as the previous titles, then it would suggest you can have a mix, but there are always two different extremes to take.

As for the lack of other 'needs', if you think things like those you describe couldn't be implemented in a meaningful way, you may wish to take a look at some other examples of 'future' cultural and safety services.

I really want MP ME.

Yea, people said the same thing about the coolness of Bioshock's plasmids and how MP would be 'nifty'...how'd that work out with Bioshock 2?

It may have been nifty if Irrational Games had made it. More likely they made completely the right choice by not including it in Bioshock.

Ken Levine seems to have completely the right attitude about multiplayer. To leave it out unless they can come up with something very unique and interesting; not just deathmatch with plasmids. http://www.1up.com/news/irrational-games-undecided-multiplayer-bioshock

I think Bioware also understands that their greatest strength is story telling. And it's not in their interest to get into the oversaturated online shooter market unless they come up with a novel sort of MP.

I forgot the sarcasm tags, I'm sorry....

So apparently it's peaceful in the South, West, and East trailers. Funny, I don't remember there being an RV park in Middle Earth.

The Tolkien kids are sucking it for all it's worth. The Old Man never would have allowed this kind of pastiche stuff.

Both sadly, and happily, the Tolkien Estate has nothing to do with the licensing of the Lord of the Rings and/or The Hobbit. If they did, there'd be nothing other than the books to compliment each other.

The purpose of the platform isn't to deliver free games, it's to be a marketplace, and I was critiquing the marketplace. While the snafu with the free game promotion was annoying, it was far from the biggest problem I experienced.

The comment about the bitching was aimed mostly at mag's DRM-bitchfest.

And I never said that because I didn't have any issues that no one else could, I just posted to actually say I didn't have any issues. No underlying message, no hidden meaning, just a statement of my experience.

A few of you really do overreact rather easily...
