    Portal

    Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Oct 10, 2007

    A first-person puzzle game developed by Valve and graduates of DigiPen, Portal forces a human test subject to run a gauntlet of grueling spatial experiments administered by a malfunctioning, psychotic artificial intelligence named GLaDOS.

    Portal achievements on the 360 are nearly impossible

    Fuck dude, I can't stand this anymore

    I've been trying to get the aperture science achievement since I got the damn game (when it first came out). All the videos on youtube are for the pc version, which is much easier. There are slight changes in the 360 version that make it so much harder, not including that the controls aren't as sharp as kb/m

    Why couldn't valve have made the gold medal requirements a wee bit more slack for the 360 version. like a few added seconds are some more steps. least portals is fine though

    I have the full 1,000 on Orange Box, and it's not close to nearly impossible. Even if you are watching YouTube videos based on the PC game, it's the same game. Just get used to it and keep persisting. Spent a couple days on it but it was worth it.

    I definitely get the feeling that mastering Portal is akin to mastering a song in Guitar Hero -- memorization and precision are key.  Both happen to come with lots of practice.

    What counts as a step?  For instance, does landing from a portal jump count as a step?

    Valve focuses on PC first and foremost, even though they release the game on 360 as well(same for upcoming Left4Dead) it won't ever be the same quality of the PC one, everyone should know this. Keeping 360 achivements in mind isn't even in their head probably, and it shouldn't be...they're there, thats good enough.

    Gamertag is TheVinster, and I have gotten them all legit. It's not hard, don't undermine peoples ability and perseverance.

    The cameras to me seem like the hardest to get since you have to play the campaign again which was pretty annoying for me.

    I think that Forza 2 definitely takes the cake for the most dragged on achievements.

    I had a friend who suggested that these achievements are possible to accomplish on PC and not Xbox, could someone explain if this is true or not?

    So? valve should have made a better product and not based achievements upon the pc version of a game where your supposed to do things quick, and accurate when you cant do this with the 360 controller.

    @vinchenzo sorry i just don't believe you got them legit nothing you say will change my mind.

    Vin, that sounds like a challenge that needs to be videotaped...

    Having played with Vinchenzo before and knowing his ethics, I can say that he probably did get them legit.

    Isn't Vinchenzo one of the few who got the Key to the City achievement in GTA IV in it's, like, first week out?

    I dunno. I bet a dedicated gamer could totally do it.

    As someone who has all the Portal achievements for 360 (check bio.) I have been looking forward to this day....



    Seriously though. I feel your pain. Whoever made those achievements should be shot.

    There's one you get for falling like 10,000 feet or whatever. I was able to set it up so I could just fall straight down and down and down forever without touching the controller, but even after like 15 minutes, I still never got the achievement.
