Portal 1 was flawless. Portal 2 had a crucial flaw.

Specifically, it was not Portal 1. Everything else was perfect.

Are you saying that Portal 2 is not perfect due is a sequel?

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Not a sequel. Just because it's not Portal 1. The fact that it's second is not the problem. The problem is that the first one was flawless.

So the gaming equivalent of ‘chasing the dragon’? That tracks!

chasing the dragon

Huh. I guess it might be.

Far from my first game, but my first perfect game. Yea, I guess that does track.

Too few promises of cake

In my opinion, Portal 2’s difficulty curve was off. It started in a good place and ended in a good place but was too easy for most of the game.

The two player section was fantastic though.
