The Cave Johnson ...I feel similarly to you, Mitch.<br /><br />The Cave Johnson part of the game did the mythos of Aperture a disservice in my eyes because Aperture went from being a brilliant, unethical, but overly PR sanitized corporation in 1 to an idiot savant corporation in 2.<br /><br />Even more, I felt like the linearity in Portal 1 was more effectively tied into the structure of the game. In 1, it feels like GlaDOS controls the experience, and when you finally escape into the claustrophobic backside of the facility, you take what you can get because you're running for your life.<br /><br />In Portal 2, it feels like the game exactly scripts one possible precise experience through meta-gamed tutorials and cutscenes, and there are wide-open spaces everywhere with exactly one sanitized path through them. There were many times when I had something I wanted to try that was other than what the game demanded, and I felt at odds with the game often.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, the game is pretty great, but I don't think Valve learned the subtle reasons Portal 1 was so effective beyond the portals and voice acting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-35161254826246726582011-04-28T10:32:31.223-04:002011-04-28T10:32:31.223-04:00Interesting point of view.

So I guess I like the more talking part! <br /><br />But it was definitely good to read a point of view that diverged just a little from "best Valve game ever." I can't help it, I just want Episode 3 now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053332604016789934noreply@blogger.com
