PC gamer also scored Dragon Age II better than Origins. Yeah. :|

You can nitpick about that in regards to ANY site out there.

[QUOTE="abuabed"]I thought the first was cool but not AAA so I'll play it safe and hype this one AA.Head_of_games

The first game was practically perfect in every way. There are quite literally no flaws that I can think of.

There are no flaws Yahtzee F***ing Crowshaw could think of.

The only ting wrong with it was that it had to end.

Meh the lenght was definitely a flaw for me. It didn't bother me much because the game came with an awesome package, but if it didn't, I wouldn't have bought it at full price at all--even when I ended up enjoying the hell out of Portal.

Also, I came out of it thinking that the idea could have been implemented so much better--they could have done so much more with it: Portal 2. One of the reasons why I'm so excited for it in comparison to many other sequels coming out this year--because it came from a game, that while awesome, improvements could have made it that much of a more significant experience.

Hell I ended up liking Portal more than the majority of featured lenght games this gen, when I relate that with what Portal 2 might come to offer in the long run, I can't help but be very excited for it. I love puzzle games, they're a wonderful break from all the same crap we've been getting recently, when I see a team putting this much effort in a game within this genre, I'm in, it's as simple as that.

Just A? But this is Valve! Also, I am so happy to see you have a new signature and no longer filled with that JRPG stuff. :D

TC I would update your thread and let users know that Portal 2 will be 45 dollars at BB on PS3 (not sure if 360) and 35 dollars on PC. :D

Good news, everyone!

According to Valve themselves, once a certain number of potatoes are collected GLaDOS will "overclock" the "CPUs" (read: a multiplier unlocks on the progress bars). So assuming Valve likes round numbers, we shouldn't be that far away (less than 15k potatoes to go if the multiplier unlocks at 300k).

If you want to get potatoes join this steam group for a freebie, and complete the challenges listed here.

Takes a loooong time to do and alot of people die in the first wave...regardless of difficulty. But I managed it two to three times on hard difficulty while distracting the final clot. :P

Ugh the secret level in AAAAA!!! is such a *BONK*! And which levels contain the potato bins? I might try to get a potato for that.

Edit: Forgot I give up on AAAAA!!! lol. I see if I can try to get the ones in Killing Floor and the second one in that test level in Bit.Trip Beat tomorrow.

Only have three so far (one from Trip. Bit Beat, Amnesia, and signing up in that group).

Who cares what it scores? We all know it will be amazing if it's anything half as decent as the first. I have my discount-applied PS3 copy pre-ordered from Amazon, got my 20 dollar discount for the purchase, and I'm just waiting for the UPS delivery on Tuesday. Haven't been this excited in a while =D

They all focus on 1 game at a time and with this joint effort they have completed the progress for 4 games already. http://aperturescience.com/glados@home/ For actual progress.

So much for 375,466.

On the plus side, it seems that the ARG won't end with Portal 2's release, and the ValveARG wiki was sent a file from Valve that mentions the Borealis. Time to break out this bad boy again:
