To be fair, Valve's track record makes them easily more worthy to be proud than THQ. Have high expectations for this one and from what I've seen so far I don't think I'll be dissapointedQuesa said:

Portal 2 is "Absolutely the Best" Game Valve Has Ever Made
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date

Time for some personal opinion:
I bought Portal and didn't really enjoy it to the point where I never bothered finishing it, and I have absolutely no motivation to buy Portal 2.
I'm glad to see Valve is confident though, hopefully if this is successful people will stop saying that the cake is a lie all the bloody time.

Unfortunately my PC probably can't handle it, so I am stuck with the 360 version. I intend to re-play Portal the morning of it's release (thankfully I am off of work that day) while I am waiting for it to arrive.Woodsey said:
That isn't what made it great, it is what made it an unsurprising hit, as it wasn't made to be as huge as it was. It would be borderline insanity for Valve to ignore this reaction to such a small game and not expand it.Patrick_and_the_ricks said:
As for the fans asking for Half Life Episode 3, it's pretty obvious that they are going to just bring out Half Life 3 instead, there is no way in hell they have taken this long for a three hour expansion pack.
If any dev except Valve (or to a lesser extent Bioware) made this statement i'd be breaking out Edgeworth and telling them to stop bragging until they can prove it (AKA after the game has come out).
But the fact that they're doing this colours me half skeptical half hyped... Don't ask how

I don't see why not. Hype doesn't always ruin the experience (see: The Dark Knight).Wolfram01 said:
Portal was fantastic, we expect Portal 2 to be better. If Portal 2 is astronomically better, then it will surpass everyone's expectations.
that bold claim has made me uneasy that valve might have lost their edge
hopefully though vavle will meet the high expectations people have from the original

I'm still skeptical about Portal 2. All of the reasons why I enjoyed the first one don't appear to be evident in what I've seen from the second one. I enjoyed figuring things out in Portal (a game that actually makes you learn sometime by playing it) and I feel like Portal 2 wants to hold your hand, guide you around and have you tell it how pretty it looks and how clever it is. I very well may be wrong, in fact I hope I am. I've just been burned by too many hyped games in the last few years.
As for Half-Life Episode 3, maybe I'm being a hopeful optimist here but perhaps there's some really crazy stuff at the end of it and they're going to try releasing Half-Life 3 shortly after (within a year, I mean)? Episode 1 and 2 were sort of self contained (had their own mini story arc). It would be nice if Ep 3 leads into Half-Life 3 with more of a cliffhanger ending. Just saying...

Yea well, when people get their hands on such an amazing 3d puzzler after being starved of the genre since they last played a Zelda game, the response is going to be such. IMO, Portal is so far beyond any other game I've played on 360 that it's almost pathetic, especially considering the game was a -4 hour long part of a bundle that started it's life as a tech demo. Honestly, is there anyone out there who disliked the game or is not frothing at the mouth for the sequel?Andy Chalk said:
Oh, and Gabe Newell said in his video conference with the highschool class a while back something similar...that he was more confident in Portal 2 than he's been for any other game by Valve.
Nyeeaahhh...the extreme hype is more likely to make me suspicious than excited.
Not that I'm not looking forward to Portal 2, but "best Valve game ever"? I would recommend the Valve guys take a look a dear old Peter Molyneux and why his games tend to get poorly received despite being fairly decent in their own right.
Can I have English words in the captcha please? "ffself Tammoja"? What the hell?

I can believe that.
Not a huge Valve fanboy, like most of the site, but I can see P2 being their best work.
