Half Life is truly a very good franchise, but that doesn't make Portal a hipster puzzle game.

Half Life is truly a very good franchise, but that doesn't make Portal a hipster puzzle game. so what is it? it's a really short puzzle game that was bundled with tf2 and a half life game. i never considered it the epic masterpiece every hipster kid seems to think it is, and i cringe whenever i hear some idiot say "the cake is a lie LOL xDDDD".

It's ok that you don't like it, but in that case, please refrain from playing it and keep your comments to yourself. It's better for you because you don't have to put up with hipsters who do like the game.

Ray, you're the one not letting gaming move. You're probably the one who says that MINECRAFT is nowhere near a good game because of it's graphics.

You're probably the one who says that MINECRAFT is nowhere near a good game because of it's graphics. i play dwarf fortress. have you seen that game's graphics? no, because it doesn't actually have graphics. also, what's that with not letting "gaming move"? great argument you had there bro.

Yes, because I know every game you play. lol
Portal may not be a masterpiece, but it's a pretty amazing game.

Yes, because I know every game you play. lol then you shouldn't have based your entire argument on stuff you don't know and yes, i agree. portal is a good game, just not a fucking masterpiece.

Raydawn Yes, but the arguments you are making seem to be exactly like the stupid DINGing Minecraft debate. Also, don't hipsters not like popular things? Anyone who's pirating Portal 2, and has enough money to actually buy the game, here's an analogy for you. Let's say you are at an art show. A painting is being sold for $50, and you think that it should be worth 1,000,000 because it is so good. You'd actually like to have more paintings by the artist, but this is his/her first painting. You'd like them to make more paintings for you. You have more than enough money to buy the painting, BUT, the day before the auction, you steal the painting. The artist gets no money from it, and probably doesn't have any more fund for him to paint. Good job. EDIT: I think that we can ALL agree that Portal is the best Puzzle game of all time. And Portal 2 will be better.

I really like Portal, and I really want to buy Portal 2. I think it's a very fun, interesting and addicting game. Portal 1, I agree, was short. But Portal 2 is supposed to be way longer (it will have campaign and a co-op mode, both longer than the original Portal). And yes, the cake thing is dead, it really is, and no one should keep using it xP (in fact I remember an interview with some guy from Valve that said there will be no cake in Portal 2, honestly, I don't really care, but, just saying). I wouldn't call it a hipster puzzle thou ([Jokey]which is also so mainstream it can't possibly be hipster anymore xP[/Jokey]) I don't think it's fair to say that Freddy "is the kind of casual that's been killing gaming" just because he really loves this game and wants to defend his view on it 0.0. If I would have to guess what the kind of casual that's been killing gaming is, then I'd say it is the people who think the best the Wii has to offer is wii sports or maybe Brawl. And the other thing that's been damaging (I wouldn't really go as far as to say "killing" yet) gaming is the pirates =/.
EDIT: @swim: I can't. I love Portal, like, seriously, Portal 2 it's one of the few games I've been genuinely excited for in a long time. But I don't know all puzzle games and saying that anything is "the best game EVAR (of this specific genre =]) " can still be going too far.

Agreed. I really hope the 'Casual' debate ends soon. What's wrong with casual? *I'm a mix of hardcore and casual.*

I think that we can ALL agree that Portal is the best Puzzle game of all time. underage casual confirmed It's a matter of preference. If we think that Portal is the best Puzzle game ever, it's because so far it's the best game we've played in that genre. Although it's an exaggeration because there must surely be better games than Portal, so that statement could be rephrased as "Portal is the best puzzle game I've played so far".

That's what I meant lol.. But, can you think of a better puzzle game?
Ray, I also just said that I was a mix of Casual/Hardcore.. Why are we debating this Casual/Hardcore thing?

I've been playing a lot of Black Ops multi lately, as well as HL2.
TF2 is pretty awesome.
I've been very busy, so I haven't been playing really any other games.
Usually I play games for the story, so I haven't really played a game in a while.. Need to find a good one.. Well, Portal 2 takes that spot, I guess..

oh boy, you really should start quoting people instead of just posting. in before "i play cowadoody on xbox" these shooters for 12 year olds and fratboys are not hardcore games either. good job continuing to demonstrate your ignorance.
