[QUOTE=HolyCrusade;29283941]That's surprising, nice to see he hasn't lost all my respect.[/QUOTE] It's too late for him to release it.

The rain should slowly make puddles of water in holes in the terrain :)

[QUOTE=certified;29283405]Isn't P2rtal coming out on Friday in Europe? You know with EA publishing and all...[/QUOTE] Portal 2 is available worldwide on steam from today/tomorrow (19th), it's not out in stores until the 21st. Notch will most likely be getting it on steam.

[QUOTE=OrcMaster117;29286101]The rain should slowly make puddles of water in holes in the terrain :)[/QUOTE] Yay now my castle can flood and I will have to spend 6 hours removing the water with buckets. Dream come true.

1.5 is going to be overshadowed by Portal 2

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;29289006]1.5 is going to be overshadowed by Portal 2[/QUOTE] Yeah, by all the people obsessed with it. Sure, I have it preordered and it will be fun, but damn, I'm not flipping out over it.

I didn't even preorder it, I'll get it when it's cheaper (because it will be).

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;29289006]1.5 is going to be overshadowed by Portal 2[/QUOTE] Can't afford Portal 2 for my Birthday, I'll just be playing 1.5 all day.

Well im not buying Portal 2 for 3 reasons: -Portal isn't my type of game -My PC can't run it -Won't pay for a game that i would play for like 20h So im only waiting for 1.5 since its the only crap i will be able to play.

[QUOTE=Garbor 0.1;29291310]Well im not buying Portal 2 for 3 reasons: -Won't pay for a game that i would play for like 20h [/QUOTE] 20h is really long for a game. Do you mean it because it's long, or because it's short?

[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;29291359]20h is really long for a game. Do you mean it because it's long, or because it's short?[/QUOTE] I mean, i would play it for 20h or so, get bored and don't play it again.And yes it is short. Ok what the crap, Portal 2 have a store, hats and shit.Now im so not buying it.

Considering I've piled 1000+ hours into TF2 (including idling, but still), 80+ hours into Oblivion (plus the console version), and over 40 into MNC and Alien Swarm and Minecraft, 20 is a bit on the short side (especially for a $50 game).

[QUOTE=Garbor 0.1;29291405]I mean, i would play it for 20h or so, get bored and don't play it again.And yes it is short.[/QUOTE] The longest I've ever spent on a game according to Steam is Gmod at 274 hours and then TDU2 at 42 hours. So basically, you don't play non-free roam games without large scale online play.

I seem to play the games I pay the most money for the least time... *cough* sam and max

[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;29290727]Can't afford Portal 2 for my Birthday, I'll just be playing 1.5 all day.[/QUOTE] How much money would you need? I've got a couple bucks in my paypal.

[QUOTE=bopie;29293134]How much money would you need? I've got a couple bucks in my paypal.[/QUOTE] No thanks man, It's your own money, you earned it. But anyways, thank you for even thinking of it :smile:.

[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;29293163]No thanks man, It's your own money, you earned it. But anyways, thank you for even thinking of it :smile:.[/QUOTE] The offer remains open, and happy birthday :smile:

Any game that isn't an RPG and is longer than 10 hours is impressive. In one way or another. Also, as of an hour ago Notch is finishing up 1.5... And he's dying to play Portal 2 so let's expect 1.5 very soon.

Awesome.

[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;29293443]Oh god yes. [editline]19th April 2011[/editline][/QUOTE] If Notch releases 1.5 now im gonna love him forever.

Here's hoping he doesn't say "Gah I'm too stressed! I'm just going to play Portal 2 the rest of the day and finish it up sometime this week. Sorry guys!"

Holy crap! My first time I've ever won a contest! Thanks dude! [editline]19th April 2011[/editline] oops wrong thread.

One thing I've never understood. We are beta testers. The whole point of this is for us to check for bugs. Why the fuck can't he update constantly? He makes these huge fucking updates that take forever to come out, waits for us to try it, and only fixes a bug if it's game breaking. Seriously. Pick one feature, add it, release it. Then another, another, etc.

[QUOTE=Mattyyyy;29293939]People complain if he updates too often because it breaks mods/servers/etc and people complain if he releases a bug.[/QUOTE] The game isn't even meant to be modded yet. He even states on the site that he plans for adding modding capabilities.

[QUOTE=Mattyyyy;29293939]People complain if he updates too often because it breaks mods/servers/etc and people complain if he releases a bug.[/QUOTE] Doesn't matter, it's still a Beta and we really don't have the right to complain if our mods to an unfinished product are broken.
