How the fuck does saying "Sage" make me an ass? Srsly, I bet you don't even know what sage is, seeing as to my knowledge neither of you are /b/tards.

Edit Edit:

Dammit, it looks like TUM knows what Sage is.

Or maybe not, seeing as how he was confused.

Well, it's a general thing. >_>

What were you Saging?

EDIT: Oh I'm not a /b/tard. Sure, I've gone to 4chan a few times (VERY few times), but I have NEVER clicked on the random channel. NEVER.

Sage is posted in a topic to push it down the topic list, instead of raising it to the top.

No, I was implying that you assumed I was, say, less educated in internet lingo. No, I'm actually pretty well versed in plenty of lingo. Hell, if you wanted me to talk as though I were a gangster, I would be able to. Not to say I would. I've got my pride.

True /b/tards don't visit /b/ anymore, the place practically just reposts the same shit spread across the space of fifteen minutes. That's why we have /r9k/

EDIT: wait wtf, 9.5 isn't that bad. definitely doesn't make it better than galaxy, but shit I can live with that

9.5 is lower than Galaxy's rating. This game is galaxies above Galaxy. Thus, 9.5 is too low. Galaxy may have 242 stars, but this game has unlimited replayability potential.

This.

Galaxy was great, sure, but hilariously easy (Except a few Cosmic Mario races, which pissed me right the hell off) and short. I also can't help but feel it would have been more fun to play with a Gamecube controller. Especially those manta ray races, those could have done with a controller shaped like a controller.

How about this slice of information? The reviewer wanted to rate the game lower, but if he did, he would risk what little reputation IGN had.

No, IGN didn't lose my respect. They didn't have it in the first place.

What they did is GAIN my undying hatred.

What were their reasons for giving one of the best games to come out in recent times a fucking 8.2?

The main problem with the game is that it's so short. While what's there can certainly be satisfying, we shot through the first 15 levels of the game in about 30 minutes with the last four taking up a bit over an hour. We really wish those first 15 missions had been squished into a couple of quick missions to teach the basics and then had the following 17 missions really up the ante. We know they can do it after playing some of their sadistic advanced versions of six of the levels from the game that (in most cases) are much more difficult than the originals. We would have loved to have seen more of that throughout the game rather than the very long string of basic tutorial type levels.


There's one thing I found.

Quote:
 
Presentation: 8.5
All around great style. Everything fits together as neat as a button.
Graphics: 7.5
We can't say the game looks bad at all. It's just not nearly as impressive as other Source games as the environments, while good for gameplay, aren't a whole lot to look at.
Sound: 8.5
The sound here is minimal, but effective. The computer voice is amazing as are the turret blurbs and the credits song makes us happy. The portal gun has a cool sound to it as well.
Gameplay: 8.0
Portal has some amazing ideas that just aren't always put into use. The first 15 levels of the game are quick and nearly useless. It's too bad there weren't more of the final four levels.
Lasting Appeal: 7.0
Two hours to play through the first time. Another couple of hours to fool around with advanced levels and another couple to play with the challenges.

Oh no. You don't have my undying hatred. You have my ETERNAL ANGER.

WHAT THE FUCK. The game being short isn't a bad point, it's a good point. Like Yahtzee said, it doesn't wear out it's welcome and it shortens the time between you and the fucking awesome ending.

Graphics 7.5?

... Oh you can just go straight to hell, IGN.

Also, Lasting Appeal should be a fucking 11. The game has quotes that will outlast US.

Most notably, "THE CAKE IS A LIE!"

Lasting Appeal goes over gameplay. This game lasts people like me 4 hours. People who don't play a game just for its humor.

there's a massive portal fanbase for custom maps, iirc

the game mechanics are also meant to be incredibly similar to Half Life 2 as well, so there's a high chance it could be GModded (if that's not what they're doing already)

Look.

20 levels were too few in the way 2,000 levels would be too few.

Portal (Like Mariokart: double dash) Has a heroin injection system.

Its just SO addicting.
