CorgiShinobi Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Saw this on IGN and immediately I jumped for joy. I only fell down because I realized PlayStation Network is still down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I think it should definitely be up in time for the DLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vargras Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 so I know I'm late to the party, but I just got my copy via Gamefly. Am I mistaken, or is this game way better looking than previous Valve titles? Source was the shiznit back in 2004, but ever since I've found it pretty tame. But I've been frequently impressed by Portal 2's graphics. How were they able to make them so much better? It's also worth noting that Valve optimized the Source engine even more with Portal 2. Upon starting up the game, EVERY video setting was maxed out, and ran above 40 FPS the entire time. I could never do that with Half-Life 2. The recommended settings were always lower, and if I tried to max everything, my FPS lagged behind. I'm astounded that Valve managed to make an engine this robust - 6 years later, they continue to improve it and it shows no signs of being "outdated".

Mal Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 So I heard that the DLC will be free on all platforms. When the hell did Microsoft and Sony bent over regarding free DLC? Well, maybe its cool with Sony since it has Steam for Portal 2 but Microsoft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe its cool with Sony since it has Steam for Portal 2 but Microsoft? I'm guessing the whole PSN/Steamworks thing did its job. Microsoft wouldn't want to give people any more reason to forgo the 360 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Yeah, I know MS's policy is that you can't charge for something on 360 if it's free on another platform (I'm not sure if PC counts as "another platform" or only PS3/Wii do).

Mal Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 PC doesn't since if I recall, TF2 on the 360 is stuck in the past. Main reason is that Microsoft wanted to charge for those updates. Then Valve said "No thank you" and walked away... and now seem to be kinda cozy with Sony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 well, there's that, and the whole bit with the last bit of DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, MS charged for it on the 360 while it was free on steam, then Valve turned around and put the entire game on sale for less than the 360's dlc.

TheMightyEthan Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Okay, so PC doesn't count, but MS won't let you charge for something on 360 if it's free on PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredEffinChopin Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Shazam! I'm sure everyone in here has it already, but you never know. If not though, today is the day to pick it up, as I doubt it'll be that price tomorrow. I'm glad I waited a little bit. Now to hurry up and borrow The Orange Box from my buddy so I can finally play the first one. .....I know... please try not to yell at me. *edit Mortal Kombat is $40 on Amazon today too.

CorgiShinobi Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Dean, tell me there's a poster variant of that gorgeous item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 If it were higher res I'd say you could just take the file to a print shop and have them make one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotChops Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I think I should mention here that Valve responded to my complaint about the beat-up poster. Someone at Valve personally sent me a replacement; opting to send it directly via USPS. The replacement still is a little worn in parts, but a major improvement from the last one. I'm still not sure if I'll frame it now or not. This is frustrating. I've been trying to collect gaming art, but it all has to be found and purchased online, and it frequently gets fucked up during delivery.
