My brain is still reforming after trying to play Portal Reloaded

I just replayed the 1 and 2 recently, love'em. Is reloaded bad?

Imagine an Americano coffee. That's portal 2. Now imagine a mug full of espresso coffee. That's portal reloaded.

Basically it's amazing, but mind bending. It throws in temporal mechanics to the original portal setup. For what it is, it's also impressively coherent.

You know how your brain kinda has to shift gears in order to "get" portal for the first time? Trying to "get" Reloaded was like rebuilding the whole damn gear system for me.

Not bad at all, it's really great. It just gets very difficult in the 2nd half. A lot harder than the original games.

If you managed to play through reloaded, revolution will be a wall in the park. I played through it yesterday and it's great.

How tall is the wall? Climbable?

[-] Sabin10@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

It's no more difficult that portal 2 was IMO.

Saw the trailer on YouTube but it was shit. Instead of telling me what it is it just shows a few corridors? Like it's it just a walking simulator in portal? If not, then why that trailer.

[-] Sixpix@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Well, you could watch the trailer instead of the announcement video of it being available.

I mean I didn't seek it out, it was the first thing that ever appeared to me about the mod. Just saying, not a great first impression.

It's a shame that modders don't have marketing teams, maybe read the steam page?

I don't think you need a team to figure out what makes a good first impression for a game. Especially if you are a gamer yourself and see a lot of trailers for other games. I know I could look elsewhere for more info I'm just saying that the video got such a buzz that it started to pop up in feeds without any context. It does nothing to make anyone want to look elsewhere for that info.
