Max Payne 3..
I just don't have time for all that steam crap.
I'd say he made the right choice giving up, I played it to the end wondering when the game was going to stop "teaching" me how to play it, but it never really did.Here's what I'd compare that to:
I kissed a girl a couple times, but didn't go any further to find out what this 'sex' stuff is.
Did you mean Portal 2? You said Portal. I have nothing against Portal 2, but I started it and didn't play far either, not because it wasn't a good game, just 'didn't feel like it'.
There were 2 portal games. The original one came with the Orange Box and was quite short. Later they came out with Portal 2.
Illustrates the greatness of Steam. For the developer, you buy games you would not normally buy. For yourself, you buy them cheap, they are easily reloadable on your new rig and automatically update, and you always have something new waiting to play.LOTS of games .. some cheap $5 indie games, others bigger budget / AAA. I am more careful with my purchases these days...
My steam account has well over 150 games and I think i have touched about a 20 of them during 2014.
I understand that.
Your first post referred to Portal, and your second referred to Portal 2.
I thought my post was clear, dunno, I am confused as to why you are confused!!
Anyway, I liked the first portal game. It was something totally new and unexpected, with great humor. I thought Portal 2 was just too much like the first game, and the humor and puzzles got repetitive toward the end.
Sort of like Tomb Raider. The graphics and controls were great, but by the end I was just getting tired of shooting rope arrows and looking for white painted boards to jump to. Or maybe I just get bored more easily than I used to, since I have been gaming a long time.
Portal - After spending some time solving a few puzzles in silence, I shut it off and never launched it again.
I thought the original portal was great, a short, unexpected treasure with interesting puzzles and great humor. However, I thought the style and gameplay was less well suited to a longer game like Portal 2. Both the puzzles and humor were getting stale to me by the end of the game. A friend and I both started Portal 2, he didnt even finish it, while I did finish, but it was more like work than fun by the end of the game.
WoW. I tried it at a friends house because I figured that it must be pretty good if it is so popular. It had some of the worst user interface controls I have ever seen in an RPG. To this day I can't understand how it became so popular, when the controls are so unintuitive and weird that it is hard to do anything. Plus the early gameplay was extremely boring.
I'm the same way about the earlier games, but I love Fallout 3 and New Vegas. If you own the latter two and couldn't get into them, you may want to spend some time deciding what kind of game you wish them to be and then spend some time on the Nexus downloading mods to turn them into that kind of game. Takes a lot of time to set them up to be playable if like me you like FPS-style combat - heck, takes a lot of time for most folks just to make them stable. But in the end, you're rewarding with hundreds of hours of play time in games customized exactly to your liking. Between the two I have well over two thousand hours of play time, for maybe 40 - 80 hours of reading, modding and tweaking. (That's 40 - 80 hours total, over a couple years - I'm not saying spending a work week just to make them playable!) They can be pure FPS, third person hack-em-up or stealth, RPG with purely strategic traditional RPG-type VATS combat, real time strategy . . . Make them be what you want them to be.Lots of games. The fallout series springs to mind.after many attempts to get into thses games and lots of uninstalls and reinstalls ive given up,i just couldnt get into it for some reason.i always end up playing something else and pretending to myself i will get back to it but never do.
Here's your first post:
Here's your second post:
So on Portal 1, you say after playing briefly, you shut it off and never launched it again; and you say it was 'great'.
On Portal 2, you say you finished it, but it was a chore.
What's to be confused about?
In one post you imply that *Portal* is the game you are posting to the thread as one you 'never got into'. But in your next post you call it great, and say Portal 2 was a chore.
So I ask, when you said Portal is the game you didn't get into in the first post, did you mean Portal 2, and you don't say 'yes', you are confused by my question.
I think that's very clear?
I don't recall saying the first statement, and I can't find it in this thread. What post was it in?
Wait - someone admitted fault and something actually got resolved on the Internet?Mystery solved. The first statement was by Kalmah. When you quoted and replied to my reply to that post, I assumed it was from the person I'd posted to.

Well, every game isn't for every person. Hopefully you got them cheap at least.I didnt like the series as my post *laughs*.cheers for the tips though. i think.
