Portal 2: 5 Down, 8 to Go

[Apr 17, 2011, 1:39 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

According to GLaDOS@Home, computations are now also complete for Cogs, Rush, and AaAaA, so the contributions of five of the 13 games in the potato sack towards an early release of Portal 2 are now done. As Dr. Rumack once (or twice) said: "We're all counting on you."

Kinda sucks that Valve was trying to do something cool for the community, but they completely screwed up the execution of it. It would've been better had they not tied the ARG in at all.

For those accusing the complainers of being whiners, I say: the reason people are (rightfully) pissed off about this ARG is because Valve raised everyone's expectations that Portal 2 would release early, when in fact they set the bar much too high for that to even happen.

As it stands now, the countdown says it'll release at 0700 EST on Tuesday. Kinda feels like we're getting screwed over here. Again, it's a question of expectations. Yes, the Potato Sack is full of great games (I've bought a few, but not the sack itself), and it's cool that they discount so many titles like this so frequently. What's NOT cool is Valve telling us that we have a chance in hell of getting Portal 2 unlocked early, when in fact we do not.
