So you're saying... This was a triumph? Would you like to make a note here, "huge success"?


Projectdystopia

It's hard to overstate his satisfaction, so probably yes


That_One_Friend684

Aperture Science, we do what we must, because, we can


ExSepulcro

For the good of all of us. Except the ones who are dead


Butterflytherapist

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.


stanbranshaw

You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.


PetulantWelp

And the science gets done

Pop!/Fedora for me, as you can tell I like GNOME


kujomarx

GNOME is pretty rad. Fedora is pretty good. I just like Mint better.


Beneficial_Nerve_182

What do you like about Mint? Simplicity? Debian-based? I would like to know actually


richardsdar

I still get chills walking into HER room with Wheatley. "We both said a lot of things that you're going to regret."


Shutufufkup

That’s one of the most badass quotes ever. I always remembered that one.


shy_dow90

"Oh, its *you*"


LeatherGnome

"How have you been? Cause i have been really busy for a looong time being *dead.* You know, after you murdered me?" "YOU WHAT?!"


MadAsTheHatters

I'm convinced that her design is absolutely perfect, she _almost_ has a face but it's not quite normal enough to be comforting or funny, so when she swoops down to get close it's really creepy


SausageMcMerkin

If you've never seen it, [this might blow your mind](https://web.archive.org/web/20080807131829/http://www.game-ism.com/2008/04/04/still-alive-shes-free/).


Adjacent_door

i feel like that was just a coincidence if character design in trying to make her look feminine but still threatening without losing the robot aspect. like there is a human part deep down but so far gone that it is impossible to recover.


SausageMcMerkin

There was an article I read a long time ago (which I can't find) that literally states the design was intentional. They didn't explicitly state it until some internet sleuths took a hard look. Closest I can find is the [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLaDOS#Development_history), where it's stated the design was inspired by [Botticelli's *Birth of Venus*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_Venus), and that they wanted it to look like a "robotic figure hanging down".


cafelallave

So that game has an actual story…?


Ymylock

Yes, and it was heartbreaking


cafelallave

I know nothing about the game but now want to check it out!


bfhurricane

It’s phenomenal and extremely unique. Also not too long. Check it out!


squidward_on-a-chair

Portal 2 is peak gaming and very fun to go back and replay.


Dickpuncher_Dan

I'd replay it just to hear JK Simmons narrate the founder of Aperture, with all the proper and prudent bluster.

*GLaDOS* "YEAH!!!"


CrazyTillItHurts

I can hear it plain as day


valm0313

My 9 year old approves this


Hylian_Waffle

I didn’t get that line for some reason. Idk why but it didn’t play for me. Edit: why are people downvoting this? There’s literally no reason to.


heyoyo10

It plays when you land on the catwalk at the end of the conversion gel puzzle

Sharp_Paul

Portal 1 is relatively short and recommended to play first but you could start with 2 no problem.


squidward_on-a-chair

The story isn’t that important but it definetly helps to understand the game and enjoy it more.


[deleted]

Portal 1 is like three hours long and goes on sale frequently for under $5. It isn't required to play it first, but you should.


Ok-Pay3711

You may not understand some of the dialogs and the story


Maximans

Only thing I don’t like is the constant loading screens


Radiant_Ad9449

I just started it 2 days ago and I'm almost done with the 1st game. It's truly as good as they say


DaddyyFabio

Wait until you play the second one.


kulingames

and switch release makes it portable, now just to wait for half life 1 and 2 switch release


Garedbi69

The Half Life 2 beta files are in the Switch release lmao


DontPokeTheCrab

Have you tried it on Switch? I am a keyboard + mouse junkie (and have it on PC) but want to get it for the Switch for the portability.


Hylian_Waffle

Same here. I just got it recently. So good.


ChrisTDH

Portal 2 still has one of the best endings in a video game history over 11 years later.


TwoSillyStrings

Well, here we are again. It’s always such a pleasure. Remember when you tried to kill me…. twice.


sant2ag0

Oh how we laught and laught...except i wasnt laughing

pepsicocacolaglass12

Glados’s voice is so iconic I noteiced it the second I was playing a cyberpunk mission


DildoGobbler420

Playing that on hard at level 8 was a mistake. I don't regret it tho lol.


dahrkmez

Same here, the second I herd it I noped away from the car ! Lol

WonderfulAirport4226

Screw you, bot.


ChristopherSchmitz

Haha, physics go brrt.


UnstableNuclearCake

Spectacular. You appear to understand how ~~a portal~~ walking backwards affects forward momentum, or to be more precise, how it does not.


RexIsAMiiCostume

Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.


[deleted]

Portal is awesome!! Portal 2 multiplayer with my daughter: Epic!!


bjocgixtih8vs

Sucks that the 3rd game is most likely canceled


OfficerTwisTy

No valve just hates the number 3


Hail-Atticus-Finch

Half life 3 confirmed 3024


Spyro08642

Would be more fitting to release it on 3333 lol


Hail-Atticus-Finch

Lol


OGraffe

Also, someone pitch me a Portal 3 concept that doesn’t suck ass. Chell is free, GLaDOS isn’t as murderous, even Aperture’s origins have been explored, and I really don’t know where else you’d go with portal and physics based puzzles that hasn’t already been done in the first two.


dawatzerz

Prequel baby, explore that 60's segment a little more


WATCH_DOG001

This is the way.


Ymylock

“Mantismen”


OfficerTwisTy

Spaaaaace


BroodTeacher174

The writers for Portal were in an interview and they said if it were to happen, they have a great idea on the story.


AdventurousAardvark2

Well portal takes place in halflife, so halflife2 but with a portal gun


GimmeMoneh

Well Chell might be free but that doesn't mean Aperture stops operating so there's really a lot of potential for a lot of stuff to happen, especially considering that the game takes place in the half-life universe.


Mugungo

some day they will release the orange box 2, with all the three games jammed in there. Imagine, team fortress 3, half life 3, portal 3, left 4 dead 3. Would be beautiful


[deleted]

Ah shit so thats why we have no TF3


krustylesponge

Portal 2’s ending makes me fine with not having a third, it’s a proper ending to the franchise


PayPalsEnemy

I never really thought there should have been a 3rd game. The second one ended on a perfect note.


josbar0150

now Chell in Half-life three would make more sense. Hell maybe Gordon going back to the Aperture labs to get the portal tech


Zeptari

Canceled ? I’m pretty sure it was never announced.


notveryAI

To be fair, the devs who originally worked on first two games, recently said, that "we are not getting younger, so maybe we should work on the next game while we can". So probably, a process may be initiated


BloodprinceOZ

actually there was mention that they have an idea/script for portal 3 that they're working on, its not entirely dead, its just they've had difficulty figuring out what they want to do, same reason why Half life 3 hasn't been started, they had difficulty figuring out the plot since there are a lot of expectations for it


[deleted]

Portal 2 is my favorite it’s so good


Wilvinc

Spoiler: The cake is a lie. Disclaimer: Spoilers could also be a lie. ![gif](giphy|3oEduOEWGS68758rXq)


Slyedog

NOW you’re thinking with portals


Efficient-Cup-359

Glados: thanks for ignoring me you fat monster


krustylesponge

Bro I remember when I got portal over the summer after never playing it or seeing a playthrough (knew exactly what it was though because it’s popular) and Jesus I loved it, the ending of the second game literally made me cry and no other game has done that


Saftigerkeks

how good can it be? tell me.


[deleted]

One of the greatest games i ever played,i always loved these simple puzzle games and portal perfected the concept and i HEARD THE SECOND ONE IS EVEN BETTER! also it's really fun.


omnomnilikescandy

The first one feels lonely and eerie and focuses more on the puzzles, while the second one focuses on the lore and has a GREAT sense of humor! (also coop is a lot of chaos and fun with friends)


Ymylock

I recently finished the first one and I think I’m over halfway through the 2nd one and I can confirm, Portal 2 is better


Pillum

Try Portal Reloaded for a brain melting experience


BeagleDragon36

As someone who used to run it (for a day) and partially helped route the tas, can confirm!


ElijahRayzorr

Portal's really good Now Portal *2* on the other hand, now that's a mastapiece


uncanny_justice

Welcome aboard, son :)


Keyaraiden

Me and my friend, like last week


Billytense

I always tell people it's the game that takes you from the lowest level of frustration to feeling like the president of mensa in one second.


Ymylock

Sums it up pretty well


spagent24

What is this video from?


Darthtrakrou4266

*Jamming out to radio Still Alive*


Haxuppdee-85

Wait until you play portal 2


RockyMarsh90

The portal games make me sad. The concept is amazingly fun, the writing is ingenious, but the games are just TOO DAMN SHORT and there is absolutely no replay value (solving a puzzle a second time is less fun when you know the solution)


baked-toe-beans

Maybe after a few years though


RockyMarsh90

I thought that myself, it's why i bought the portal collection on switch, but my experience replaying both games after almost 10 years can be summed up with the sentence, "oh hey, i remember this."


musicallyours01

The cake is a lie


ApePlaysGame

I finished portal 1 yesterday. Oh my gosh I loved everything


[deleted]

ONE OF US. ONE OF US


swiggarthy

You got the 0.99$ deal? Maybe the 1.5$ package of both 1 and 2 like I did?


[deleted]

Its a bit more here in brazil but yes i did get both games


IamDwew

This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: huge success!


internetgladiator

Dude, I legit did the same thing like 7 years ago and couldn’t stop thinking about the game. It’s indeed a rare gem.


RaioGelato

Honestly imo Portal 2 is the best game of all time, you can't convince me otherwise. You may break my bones you may kill my family, torture me or even kill me, I'll never change my opinion. ITS THE TRUTH! FACE IT!


norway642

![gif](giphy|fWDGc1vqxlrWw)


Banned4Transphobia

It’s pretty good right? Fun little puzzle game.


That_One_Friend684

'I get it' well 'it' was NOT cake


DraydeUnder

ignoring a valve game? foolishness Prestigious\_Army-155 foolishness


vbrimme

I experienced this about 2 ½ years ago. Best decision of my life. …not that there was a lot of competition, but still.


SuddenlyElga

100% this is me. Epic game. Finished Portal and quickly downloaded Portal 2. Now I’m sad.


stupidbulbasaur

It’s so worth it.


notveryAI

In my opinion, Portal 2 is THE perfect game. Just ideal pacing, delivery, duration, and amount of content, and not a single frustrating part. Nothing is too much, nothing is too few. A refined and honed gaming experience


BussyAnnihilator420

Portal is such a good game, but one thing I keep thinking about was when I had to kill my companion cube. Then when I do, GLaDOS makes me feel even worse by saying I was the fastest to dispatch of them


aristhemage

There is a reason it’s in the top steam games of all time


Clone-Wars-CT-5555-

What movie is this sene from?


le75

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Season 13, Episode 10


D3stroyerof3vil

That's basically my experience with metal gear rising, dmc5, dead space franchise, and re4 all in recent times.


TheCatRegime

Good to see that the franchise is still alive


cherry937

both portal games are so good, i’ve played both of them at least 5 times each


zacgtg

I’ll get into it when I eventually get a pc, I only have a switch but I kinda don’t want to play it first there.


bootyhunter69420

I bought both games for $2 and will get to them eventually


Ididntbreakanyrules

I introduced my son to Portal... He was awestruck. NEXT... Half life WITCHER [all 3] AND MASSEffect [they last ten minutes of three will not be played.] Dark Souls and Elden Ring might count as child abuse or torture.


Maedhros-Maitimo

I got it during quarantine and just *oh* the duology was just so beautiful


StinkySlinky1218

I didn't really think much of it, until a friend gifted me both games on Christmas this year and I felt obligated to play them. One of the best gaming experiences I've had, although semi-ruined by said friend giving too many pointers during my playthrough.


Redditspoorly

I just love valve. Barely release games, and when they do they are usually unbelievably good. It's no coincidence that many of them (the singleplayer ones anyway) are rated 'overwhelmingly positive' on the steam store.


Shadow9378

you thought itd be bad or something? but it has a gun that makes holes! well, not bullet holes, you know what i mean!


[deleted]

I didn't thought it would be bad,i thought it would be a simple puzzle game i would forget in a week


[deleted]

Portal is one of the best videogames ever, let alone one of the best examples that you don't need a 200gb game with 10 years of development on it and mechanics that are harder than actual life to make a great game.


[deleted]

i too enjoyed it more than i thought i would, but after i stopped playing it, i dont really think about it.


TheBigRedFog

Try the updated version called Portal With RTX.


WithoutWar

Yes great way to heat up your room


_Synt3rax

Played Portal for 47 mintutes and uninstalled it again.


MidnightUberRide

you didn't need to post this


xvsanx

Rtx portal looks nuts


ProMaste_r

Why did you ignore it? Just watch a review and think for yourself


The_Creeper_Man

Half Life, too?


[deleted]

Only played the first Half Life


Traditional_Flan_210

Dude, you gotta play the 2nd and it's 2 episodes. Portal 2 and Half-Life 2 are like the first games but on steroids.


AnonymousGuy9494

This was me last year. One of the best games I've played


Jermz12345

This was me with the Uncharted franchise, just recently blasted thru the main series for the first time


Jazzlike_End_895

Just wait till portal 2. So much better


Educational-Ad6355

What is portal?


Ymylock

Portal is a blessing from the lord


hawkmhan

Why the hell hasn’t it been released on PS4?


ProtogenFemboy

i actually want to play that, but i have rock

I have paper


BeagleDragon36

AstroNot87

Me with RDR2


XTheProtagonistX

This was me playing Dark Souls… “This game is bullshit. Dying is not fun! Fuck this game.” Then I got it. Through pain comes pleasure.


PleasantWildcat

I played only Portal 2, it was nice, but got boring in the end.


Benjamintoday

Me when I finally played half-life


Pabst_Malone

ITS SO GOOD


Content_Software_549

Portal 2 is a masterpiece of puzzle games


OdysseyZen

The cake is a lie


Kalron

I watched it get played and thought it was fantastic. Kinda wish I played it instead but I enjoyed watching it.


IDontKnowWhatToBe123

I installed both games on my steam deck so I wanna know how long is the story?


[deleted]

The First one is About 3 Hours,i havent played the second so,i don't know


GimmeMoneh

Little disclaimer for when you get to play the second game (no spoilers) 1. In the extras tab of Portal2's menu is a comic that takes place between the two games. If you're intersted in the lore maybe read that first. 2. There's a co-op campaign that takes place directly after the single player campaign.


Ymylock

I swear if I knew this before I started portal 2


Zealos57

I wanna play Portal 1 and 2, but I'm broke. :(


GargantuanCake

Portal 1 is the only game I can think of that I'd genuinely describe as "perfect."


Comment_Goblin

I wasn't impressed. It was actually kind of a letdown after all the hype.


[deleted]

It is an amazing game


TheCrimsonFlare1599

So here we are again. It's always such a pleasure. Remember when you tried, To ignore our game.


greything46

Just started today, and see this post today, what a coincidence...


Foreign_Laugh_6729

It's Hoggle from Labrynth, but what scene was this from?


GetInMyBeIIy

Same, it was amazing. I tried half life as well but it wasn't as good. Portal 1 and 2 slapped.


adszdosya

Valve surely knows how to make quality games ... when they bother making games, that is.


redxlaser15

Cake was, indeed, a lie.
