My cousin has similar feelings. Japhy Send a noteboard - 20/04/2011 07:25:54 PM
I showed him Portal to get his feet wet before recommending portal 2 and he struggled greatly with it. He'll probably stick to his CoD and whatever else he has and just remain oblivious to the portal universe.

It's certainly worth $50 but why should I (or we) waste time trying to convince somebody who has clearly made up their mind and chooses a "holier than you" stance to enjoy a game that you see as beneath you.

fifty bucks?? I'm not going to buy this unless y'all are going to tell me it's seriously worth 50 bucks. Because as much as I loved portal, nothing about its premise was worth that much. It was a fancy puzzle game with a hilarious robot-enemy. If this is just a fancier puzzle game, I'm not buying this until the price comes down A LOT. I don't even like paying this much for RPGs.

EDIT: as a futile attempt to defend myself against rabid fanboys, I'm not saying that this game CAN'T be worth fifty bucks to YOU. If YOU think it's worth fifty bucks, please spend your fanboy rage attempting to politely convince me instead of trying to flay me alive.

*goes to buy* WOW REALLY?!?!?! LadyLorraine - 20/04/2011 07:14:39 PM 776 Views
Agreed. As masterful as Portal was, I'd rather wait for a price drop. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 20/04/2011 07:25:16 PM 422 Views

Stating that it seems overpriced to her != a "holier than thou" attitude. lord-of-shadow - 20/04/2011 07:35:51 PM 742 Views
Just saying, I love the use of != over =/= *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 20/04/2011 11:24:19 PM 446 Views
as l-o-s said, I greatly enjoyed Portal 1. I plan to enjoy Portal 2. LadyLorraine - 20/04/2011 08:01:52 PM 864 Views
It would be helpful, Jacob - 20/04/2011 08:48:13 PM 949 Views
plainly my statement was misinterpreted. I apologize. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 12:32:59 AM 732 Views
Easy... Jacob - 21/04/2011 03:31:55 PM 752 Views
Bulletstorm is single-player + coop only and sold for $60. What do you want? Zalis - 20/04/2011 09:14:34 PM 790 Views
Given that short review, I'd say anyone buying Bulletstorm is being severely ripped off. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 12:45:06 AM 658 Views
To be fair, it's my opinion of the BS (hah) demo. A case of interesting gimmick + bad execution. Zalis - 21/04/2011 01:35:25 AM 806 Views
okay I get the point you were trying to make with your comparison... LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 01:54:16 AM 750 Views
Gotcha. What's game would be a Day One purchase for you, though? Zalis - 21/04/2011 02:50:13 AM 779 Views
I'm not sure, honestly. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 03:20:33 AM 763 Views
Bulletstorm was a lot of fun. The demo didn't do it justice. Nebhead - 21/04/2011 12:53:12 PM 1208 Views
If it's as long as Portal 1, then I completely agree A Deathwatch Guard - 20/04/2011 10:54:31 PM 777 Views
you explained why I was surprised at the price well here. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 12:41:40 AM 854 Views
It's about twice as long. Leaving it at 6-8 hours, basically. lord-of-shadow - 21/04/2011 02:50:53 AM 786 Views
thank you LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 05:23:37 PM 768 Views
I've found it to be worth the price Jragghen - 21/04/2011 08:56:16 AM 696 Views
If you want a review, lookie here: Nebhead - 21/04/2011 12:56:06 PM 1192 Views
The censoring in that review is killing me Darth_Katie - 21/04/2011 04:23:03 PM 726 Views
thank you ben *NM* LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 05:22:13 PM 354 Views
It's longer. Gher - 21/04/2011 05:46:10 PM 876 Views
Thank you, Gher. And that last statement is kind of what I'd like to avoid LadyLorraine - 21/04/2011 06:54:12 PM 682 Views
