Comments on: We do what we must, because we can (a retrospective on Portal) http://www.cydeweys.com/blog/2007/10/16/portal-retrospective/ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:39:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ugletek http://www.cydeweys.com/blog/2007/10/16/portal-retrospective/comment-page-1/#comment-148625 Ugletek Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:34:25 +0000 http://www.cydeweys.com/blog/index.php/2007/10/16/portal-retrospective/#comment-148625 <3 We did what we must, because we could. <3 Well the Portal itself is filled with so... i-dont-have-even-words-for atmosphere that You will get to love the game. From the very starts of neat white rooms, and as the game progresses by "proving portals are safe, but gun however is not", "atmosphere of extreme pesimism", GLaDOS getting more and more upset with your progress as You take control over the whole thing, lab observing spots (which you get to visit in the very end of game), the 33 (actually more) cameras, our beloved Companion Cube, and most of all to watch inner stories of game authors... That's just the best about it all. Well I saw it at a friend who told me "hey check it out, it has nice engine and all like that" so I did. And I must say I was very surprised about it. Started the game at 10pm and didn´t move till the end. Before this I didn't have an idea what a good game is. Well now I do and I would like recommend portal to everyone who didn't play it, and for these who did: "Go play it again three times, get all these precious achievments, complete everything You can, and try to understand every word that was implemented inside the game. But don't be sad! CHEER UP FOR Portal 2!!! PS: Forgot about android training center! @;-- sorrie! PPS: Love U Portal! PPPS: Read about the people's experiences on the internet!

Remember she was glad for you because she got burned. Anyway she's "still alive".... doing science .... on people who are still alive ... but not for the benefit of those who are dead .... only for those who are still alive. My own special message to GLaDOS: Give it up, honey, Black Mesa won the funding war and the only replacement parts we have for you are red eyeballs. Don’t feel sad for GLaDOS.
