From what I hear there's a separate single player and co-op game, and each one is supposed to be twice as long as the original. When you play co-op you're playing a different game than when you played solo.
MOST of the companies founded on PC games have since shifted or sold out to the console club. Easier money. They have lower standards and piss away cash with less resistance.Valve was founded on PC games, PS3 is just a secondary market.

I'll admit it - when I hear that someone didn't like Portal I automatically assume that when they were playing it they were all like, "WTF IS THIS CRAP? WHERE R GUNZ AND BOOBZ?"
But who knows, maybe I'm the minority. I loved Portal so much, and it would have been well worth $45 to me. If this game is much longer then it's a no-brainer purchase for me as well.
Is the game that deep to cost that much? I don't remember Portal 1 costing that much...could be wrong though.
Because it's a full fledged game this time, 8+ hours of play time w/ online coop. The first one was at best a 3-4 hour experience.
Longer development time w/ more people working on it is going to equal a higher price tag. No big shocker there.
Portal was an amazing title, as all Valve games are, I have no problem ponying up $45 for this.
But I'll be buying the PS3 version for $60, since it'll come w/ a free PC copy as well through the Steam account tie-in.
demand > supply.
how about a link because what I've read said twice as long...Love it when people make an incredulous post on a forum without doing a quick Google that would have answered their question.
Single player portion of Portal 2 will be four times as long as Portal 1. And they're adding MP as well. Read a couple interviews and you'll have all the info you need. If you still think it's too much, then you're not a Portal fan and you should probably just not buy it. Novel idea, I know.
If they tried stretching out the original 8-12 hours (which is still a really low amount of play time even if it is standard now) the game would suck. For a 3 hour game it was awesome, but there wasn't enough meat in the game play to stretch it out. Hopefully, they added a lot more gameplay mechanics to the game to keep it fresh through the whole thing.
it's $40 if you buy it with a friend
I just bought the 2pack for 20% off, seems like a decent price for this game to me.
Sorry, but holy shit guys, there's a lot of fail in this thread.
Portal 1 = Short, cheap add-on to The Orange Box.
Portal 2 = Full-blown feature-length game.
Please, stop complaining, and stop saying "$45 is too much, I would never pay that much for Portal 1" because that's faulty logic. They're different games. And frankly, $45 isn't too damn bad considering most big publishers are jacking up the price to $60 on PC games now. Valve is awesome for still releasing games for under $50. Still think it's too expensive? Then goddamn, just don't buy it.
This :thumbsup:
