These Portal 2 videos were so cool. Why hasn't anyone kept this style of games going?

Hopefully, like in the original, you can actually see or properly deduce what you need to accomplish. "
I was thinking the same thing, but if you looked he wouldn't have died if he didn't know to do that. He could have just jumped back down and did it over again. I get your point though, I hope the same thing.

My only question is this:  Why would anyone NOT buy Portal 2?


I am so going to be bouncing off of everything, just because.

Just about all of these Portal 2 videos have come to a point where I've dropped my jaw at how crazy this game is gonna be.  I can picture myself just staring at the screen for extended periods of time trying to figure out what to do next.

This is getting to the point where it looks almost too confusing. Too many active elements.  I'll be interested to see how they lead the player through the new complexities.

I feel like they are taking away the simple charm of the first one.  I don't mean I want it to be easy, but I liked how simple it was.  Open a portal here and here and jump it while GLaDOS taunted you.  I liked that.

This one seems simple enough. But my favorite part about these videos so far is the music.

 I had to watch that last bit two more times before I got it. Game looks cool. Edit: Stupid bold bug.

I played the first one on the PS3, I can't remember having any problems with using a controller. I bet it's easier with a mouse and keyboard though.

If I remember right there will be at least 2 more gels that will be announcing before the game comes out.

You've got to be kidding! I think there's going to be a severe downgrade in complexity by the time this comes out.
