joeplus Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Sweet, my flatmate's gonna buy Portal 2 for his 360. Co-op ahoy! Exciting. Also don't stone me to death here: I never played Portal (laptop at the time couldn't run it) but the whole look and plot of it seemed so exciting that I cracked and spoiled it for myself by watching playthroughs on youtube. That might be sacrilege but I still enjoyed the whole atmosphere. Definitely staying spoiler-free for this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a 360 Portal is on sale at the moment think its 600 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_woo Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 If you have a PC/laptop with Steam capable of playing Portal you can have my free copy if you want Catachresis. Might as well give it to someone who would like to play it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbind Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 That is correct, yes. The PC/Mac version gets activated on your Steam account when you activate the PS3 copy. I'd forgotten about the Mac stuff. So really buying the PS3 version will let you play it on 3 different platforms. Who the fuck else does that?

Big_H Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 First hour or so of play - Stephen Merchant isn't as annoying as I thought he was going to be and certain elements have made me go cold with joy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_H Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm playing a review copy. Yeah, it's a console version. Shh. Don't tell the others. I'm practically in hiding now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gerbik Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I just checked and as far as I can tell it hasn't leaked yet thank god. I would hate it if it got spoiled to fuck by fucking screechy American teen console pirates before the Steam version unlocks and we all get to go in fresh and experience the awesome as it was intended to be. Edit: not aimed at you Big_H! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Puzzles Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Tomorrow? Oh shit! I'll definitely be taking advantage of the PS3plusfreePC version and I'll take great pleasure in seeing how well Valve have managed to figure out the MC Escher PS3 architecture.

Sapa Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Any ideas what the prices for this in-store will be? Also, cheapest online with a company that actually gets the game to you on or before release date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow for the PC version of course*. If you're waiting for the PS3 version to unlock it for free.... well then you're waiting until the console version comes out next week. *if the hints in the ARG are anything to go by. Could still be nothing more than a Glados hat for TF2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darragh Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Man, I wish I had a PC capable of doing Portal 2 justice. Have to wait for the console version now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yewone Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Well someone on my friendslist is on Chapter 5 already It's going to be a LONG wait for the PS3 version.. and I think the time to start avoiding this thread may be fast approaching for fear of spoilers.

Wintermute Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Yeah, I'm out if people are playing it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeplus Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 If you have a PC/laptop with Steam capable of playing Portal you can have my free copy if you want Catachresis. Might as well give it to someone who would like to play it! Thanks for the offer chap, but I still don't think it'd handle it. My flatmate's got 360 Orange Box: I'm not sure whether to play through the first game (it'd be slowly - I'm fucking terrible at both those sort of puzzles and FPS games, with low frustration threshold) or just jump into 2, grin and bear my ineptitude for the inevitably brilliant story, and let the spirit of co-operation guide us through the other mode. Maybe the former: I should probably train on the basics. Fuck it, I'm gonna spend Saturday getting baked and learning the ropes. Good meeting!

joeplus Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Also, this ARG came and got me excited at just the wrong time. I've just started playing HL2, it's miles better than I thought it would be (I thought the whole dystopia-city thing couldn't be as cool as Black Mesa, I'm obv wrong), I decided a post ago to play Portal, and I've just got a new fucking job! My life is like buses. Calm down Joe. Get through tomorrow, then you can sacrifice your weekend on Valve's batshit mental altar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blooming Marvellous Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 jhow does the free PC version thing work on PS3 then ? Do you have to link your PSN account to your steam account? Or can i get someone who is getting the PS3 version to gift me the PC version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gerbik Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Just a heads up if you want to avoid spoilers - be very careful from now on as the console version has been leaked Be careful around forums and youtube etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Looks like I'm out until the 360 version drops, shame as I've been enjoying this thread but this is a game you don't want spoiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
