Waiting for the ridiculous potato fiasco to pass (disgusting marketting strategy, I swear Valve always finds a way to make me more and more disgusted to them. All companies look like EA now...).
At least, unlike EA, their games are still awesome. Which is why I pre-ordered it anyway. Also, I'm dying for Half-Life 2 Episode 3, and its the closest one can get thats relevant in any way.

How is supporting indie games disgusting? And its not like they're forcing anyone to buy them, its the same thing as the Humble Indie Bundle. I just fail to see how thats anything like EA, or really anything bad at all.
As for Portal 2, I'm definitely looking forward to it. Especially the co-op.
Its the whole tease about releasing the game sooner, and when the timer was over, they pretty much said "waste your money to try and make Portal 2 released sooner!". Which also seems to be just a lie and even if its not, its pretty meaningless, but everyone's buying into it.
I find that attitude disrespectful as a costumer, and to top it off, actually buying Portal 2, the game that is, you know, actually relevant to the whole thing, does nothing to "make it released sooner".
Yea but its not like they've been advertising a April 15th release all along and then saying thats how it has to happen, its just trying to garner interest in indie games and is pretty optional considering people have been expecting it to be released on the 19th all along. I would say its annoying, but nothing EA-like.
Err... its a puzzle game. Left click shoots blue portal, right click shoots orange portals. You can only have one of each at a time, which are linked and allow you, or anything to pass through, instantly. Momentum is carried through with you as well. Plenty of tricks to do, and you use nothing else but your dear portal gun with whats around you to complte puzzles.
You do not kill people. But there's plenty of things that can threaten your life.
I pre-orderd and now also have the potato sack games :thumbsup:. As Jack says I don't see the harm in supporting some cool indie games which probably appeals to the same kinds of players who'd like portal (many pussle-ish games in there). I got the pack mainly because of Super meat boy that I have downloaded and enjoyed a lot, but never paid for. I usually enjoy small indie games so why not give the pack a go?
As for Portal 2.. I think it's going to be just awesome.

What,s the potato fıasco?
I,m posıtive we,re gonna see some clue ın Portal 2 about Episode 3.
As excıted as I am for Portal I hope they dıdn,t try to make the game too campy. Yes, Portal was a funny game, but ıt also had a very serıous tone behınd all the topıcal jokes. Much of what I have seen so far has made the game seem very sılly whıch ıs okay to a poınt. But I want to see more creepy moments ın Portal 2 lıke there were ın the fırst game. And I don,t lıke Wheatley at all.
Well I know that I played Portal one more times than I can count
I just hope they keep it real in respect to P1
But I'm definitely looking forward to the game, and CO-OP
The game looks awesome, how does the multiplayer work?
Each players have their own portal gun. A player can create 2-linked portal, for a total of 4 portals. Your portal will never connect with your friend's portal.
One player's portal will be blue and orange, the other, red and yellow. I believe you just respawn if you die: you're just robots, so they just manufacture a new you.
The challenges and puzzles are obviously designed for coop in mind (and are completely separate from single player), so they don't just allow cooperation, they -require- it. And the presence of 2 players create many interesting possibilities, and it was said that coop is much harder than solo. Communication -will- be required.
To help that, each player can create "points" or "marks", like you can mark a wall with something to tell the other player "shoot your portal here".
All in all, it looks like an absolute blast if you play with someone that communicates.
Its the whole "hey! buy these games and make the Portal 2 release quicker!", which is not only bullshit (or if it isn't its barely relevant). Its also the whole "we make you think that Portal 2 will release early, give you a timer, and then when its over, just tell you to buy those games to waste your life on making Portal 2 release early".

Life is too short to be offended by marketing tactics. Live and let live.

Life is too important to remain indifferent to all the ridiculous things that happens. Not taking issues or voicing myself when something is wrong is a sin in my eyes. If everybody says nothing, then things get worse.
Game is 10-15 hours total including co-op. If thats short for anyone, they have a problem.
DLC is purely cosmetic, doesn't affect the gameplay in any way.
I argued like hell yesterday with people whining about such things. As if cosmetic items are sins, when the game is expected to get free content update later.

Edit: When it's released of course, wouldn't part with my money early just so Valve can enjoy their money showers sooner.

Also, game has mods. And PS3 can play mods.
