Portal: Self Esteem Fund Slowed 800%

[@decx0326]

The fact that this game had so many moments that make you laugh your head off, and having a story that is darker then games that try to be dark. Really makes it a game like no other, and when you ad this music, it drags you in more and more. That's why Portal is easily my favourite game ever.

[@commentingchannel9776]

It is really easy to say that Portal is a completely perfect game.

[@johnkaltine9788]

Well there are games that *try* to be dark and ones that just are. The ones that *try* normally pride themselves on it while the truly dark ones are just there, not concealing it but not parading it around either.

[@dihydrogenmonoxide7600]

In an early build, the consciousness of Cave Johnson was planned to be trapped inside of a cube after early attempts of the project that made GlaDOS, you would find it in the abandoned, underground section of aperture, and it would beg the player for death. Imagine how different the mood of the game would be if that made the cut.

[@DoodooBean]

This may well be the most peaceful, yet unsettling thing I've ever heard.

[@ellatha]

you are alone here. when you wake up, you are alone. when you find the portal gun, you are alone. when she attempts to incinerate you, you are alone. when you travel through the long abandoned offices of the facility, you are alone. when you finally come face to face with her, you are alone. and yet, even after killing her, even after reaching the surface, and breathing in the forest air, even after all that, nothing has changed. you are as alone now as you were in the beginning.

If we are going by the speculations, pretty sure after Portal 2 ending, she is outside , with combine and other stuff from Half-Life, running around, events from Portal (1) could've taken place when combine was taking over the Earth Glados quotes, portal 1 : ``Are you trying to escape? (laughter) Things have changed since the last time you left the building, what's going out there will make you *wish* you were back in here`` ``I have infinite capacity for knowledge, and even I'm not sure what's going on outside. All I know is I'm the only thing standing between *us* and *them* .``

[@MauricioJara]

Man, I wish Portal 2 had the dark, real, lonely, and melancholic feel that Portal had.

[@Gamer_2003x]

Yeah if it had that sane feeling, I would like it more than the first game

[@quantumblauthor7300]

Honestly, portal 2 deviated from 1's mood, but the mood of 2 was executed just as well. Two very different beasts.

[@itwasfunnyatthetime]

I like that they did something different with Portal 2 and executed it perfectly. Trying to replicate the first again may have worked but I like that we have the two different mood/interpretations of this world.

Funniest people are the saddest ones. Evil people have big & broken heart inside Those who say they don't care - care the most Those who love too much are always alone Those who are emotionless and cold now, used to be full of emotions and happiness once You become what you thought you can never be Loudest person in the room is the weakest Those who care only about themselves once loved others more than themselves.
