The reviews of the PC edition of Portal 2 on Metacritic reflect the unhappiness of some users with Valve's just-released puzzle sequel. While the game boasts a 95 score based on critics' scores, the user score has dropped to 7.3, as there are 101 negative reviews as of this writing, many of them giving the game a zero. GamesIndustry.biz (registration required) summarizes the situation: The complaints appear to come primarily from PC users, upset that the game is a console port - and even includes references to turning off the 'console' when saving. Most anger, though, seems to be directed at the online store - which is already filled with downloadable content.
The volume of day one downloadable content seems to have come as a surprise to many PC users, unused to the console-style arrangement. They have also expressed disappointment at the game's short running time and the controversial ARG promotional campaign - which tempted players into buying unrelated indie titles.

Stupid console port! Why couldn't they do it like Portal 1 and it's... regenerating health? I know thats sarcasm, but in the interests of stimulating discussion I'm going to answer it seriously.
This is a good example of a game thats appropriate for regen health. Throwing health pack pickups around would just distract from the game. There's no guns that consume ammo and thus no ammo packs, so there's no packs expected anyway. Many hazards in this game are instant kill, so the amount of health is moot for those. The main hazard that is durationally based is the turrets, and while its not exactly realistic that you'd auto heal from that, the question has to be: Would it distract more from the gameplay to have healthpacks everywhere, or have auto heal which leaves one free to concentrate on the puzzle aspects of the game which the game is about? |
