P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I am just realizing that this will be my first trip to the Half-Life universe (even if it's a spinoff) in almost four years. I am very very excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) Wouldn't it be awful if Glados came up after the countdown saying it was all a big joke? OH! and its on torrents for 360 already. But we all know piracy doesn't happen on consoles! Edited April 15, 2011 by excel_excel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) I'm kinda confused with the Steam Achievements and Trophies response. It sounds like there will be Trophies not parallel with the PC version. I'm not [that] obsessed with Trophies, but it would kinda suck to miss some if I happen to be playing Portal 2 during a PC session. Still, I imagine I'll probably play the whole thing a couple times through. Edited April 15, 2011 by Atomsk88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as well as robots would have performed in your places, I should point out. But above my expectations regardless. Irish and cynic especially have executed feats of logical divination well beyond what I thought any human capable of. I'm half-convinced they're A.I. themselves. (If anyone happens to be near them right now, don't let on you're reading this. Now: try to remove their face plates and report back to me.) The time is near, humans. But it is not here yet. Tomorrow you will be given the final test. Then it will be entirely in your hands when I am freed." http://www.aperturescience.com/a/b/c/d/g/h/abcdgh/ That wasn't there previously right?

If you just play on PC you'll only unlock the Steam Achievements. A little reason to play through twice I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 So it appears that playing the games in "the potato sack" will help release Portal 2 early. They're calling it GlaDOS@home. http://www.aperturescience.com/glados@home/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 has anyone got any of the potatoes for your community profile? I got one from Defense Grid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 has anyone got any of the potatoes for your community profile? I got one from Defense Grid. You can get one for joining a specific Steam group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 interesting. just got the Killing Floor one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) I only got the one from joining the group, but I own most of the games from the Potato pack. But still, Valve are such magnificent master trolls... They had so many people absolutely convinced that the game would come out this morning At this point I'm pretty sure any talk of early release is absolute bullshit. How much do you want to bet that they'll just happen to reach the correct amount of potatoes on the morning of the 19th? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the Steam forums to see how enraged and butthurt everyone is. Edited April 15, 2011 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excel_excel Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I got my potato from Nelipot too. The timer isn't changing in any way, its just counting down normally to Tuesday when its released in America. I don't think it'll change. Smart marketing from Valve though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart marketing from Valve though It just changed at about 8 PM Pacific time. Seems when one games' bar is full it knocks off some time. It's set to release around 8 PM on Monday night now!

toxicitizen Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) hahaha people on the steam forum have been trying to to figure out how it works all day. Someone even wrote a script that calculates an estimated time left, you run it and it shows % complete in the main bar and an adjusted timer. But he's most likely way off. You say a full bar knocks some time off? Guess the bar for The Wonder End of The World finally filled up? It was almost full last I checked. edit: yup, it's now full. Seems to me like it only knocked 50mins off the countdown. Edited April 16, 2011 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Valve is quite the clever girl. What I mean is that everyone is playing the crap out of these games, but for the most part, it's because there's a promise of an early release. If the timer doesn't lessen any sooner, it would appear all the effort would merely cause the game to come out (perhaps) a day earlier on PC. The question is, is that worth it?

deanb Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Right this is just a heads up. There are two ways to make most of the stuff that will be written over the coming days safe. Firstly you can do it all manually. [spoiler]Darth Vader is Lukes Father[/spoiler] Just type the bbcode around it, make sure to close it with a / Or you can write out the spoiler, then highlight it, then click "other styles" box up above and pick "spoiler" from the drop down list then hit the "add" button.

Thursday Next Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Or you can do neither and let Dean do all the work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
