I know why you are here, reading this comment.
I know you.

There are two reasons for someone as handsome as you to come here:

1) You found an interesting game on steam with overwhelming reviews and now you are looking for those few "bad apples" to justify not buying the game. I have to disappoint you. This game has as many flaws as a circle has corners: None. I made this comment solely to point this out.

You could expect me lament the expensive DLCs (it's still early access). And by expensive DLCs I mean a great modding community with awesome ideas which is supported by the developers. This is not EA, you know? After purchasing the game everything is free.

Maybe I rant about the game being stuck in Early Access way to long and the devs have had abandoned it long ago. But I couldn't be more wrong. They make a weekly blog on the forums about the new stuff they are going to put in the next updates. EVERY WEEK.

Do you fear this game will get boring after a while? You will wish, it would. It will suck you in. It will devour you. It will replace your thoughts of friends and family with concepts of automation, assemblers, network design and ideal ratios. Your friends will no longer recognize you on the street. Your kids fear you, because they think a stranger is living in their house. You may think I'm joking and you may laugh at my comment. I HAVE WARNED YOU! Look at those poor souls, who also made comments and have thousands of hours of game time. You think they are laughing now!? No, they don't know humor any more. The game has taken it away and replaced it with concepts of belt splitters and railway intersections.

Do you fear this game will be too easy for you? Do you fear it might be too hard? This game is just as challenging as you want it to be. Want it harder? Try to automate more, get faster, get bigger, get better. You wanna take a chill-pill? No probs, pal. Skip those fancy circuit networks, craft things by hand, or simply use bots instead of belts to reduce thinking to a minimum (looking at you, lazy megabase twa.ts)

The community is a salty bunch of arrogant jerks who flame each other and mention the sexual intercourse they have had with my female relatives in their past. Just kidding, that's CS:GO. I've got no clue what they are taking about, they're only speaking Russian. Nope, that's DOTA. You couldn't find a nicer and more helpful gamer community. You know those guys over there at Kerbal Space Program? Just like that, but better. We're also building a rocket, but we also build an entire planetary infrastructure to support it!

Now put away your worries, upvote this comment for further generations, get the game and become one of us. DO NOT READ FURTHER ON!



2) You came here because you've already bought the game (I told you so) and have been sucked in (I told you so). You managed to struggle free from the game for a minute and now you are looking for a way out of the rabbit hole.
You hope to find someone's advice of how to escape the icy grasp of the merciless claws of cogs and machines, yearning for the love and warmth of the world of flesh and life. Hoping for some breadcrumbs to guide the way left by someone who walked this way before you. A friendly hand to hold onto, which leads you out of the dark. You miss your loved ones, the beer with your friends and those silly colleagues at work.
I am sorry my friend. I truly am. There is no light at the end of this tunnel. All I can give you is bitter-sweet solace: The pain will go away. Soon you will be consumed by the machine that has devoured so many before you. Your thoughts will soon become one with the great blueprint and then you will know what factorio is about.

Now put away your sorrows, upvote this comment for further generations and return to the game because you are one of us.

Portal 2 is a 2011 first-person puzzle-platform video game developed and published by Valve Corporation. It is the sequel to Portal (2007) and was released on April 19, 2011, for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The retail versions of the game are distributed by Electronic Arts while online distribution of the Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions is handled by Valve's content delivery service Steam. Portal 2 was announced on March 5, 2010, following a week-long alternate reality game based on new patches to the original game. Before the game's release on Steam, the company released the Potato Sack, a second multi-week alternate reality game, involving 13 independently developed titles which culminated in a distributed computing spoof to release Portal 2 several hours early.

The game retains Portal's gameplay elements, and adds new features, including tractor beams, laser redirection, bridges made of light, and paint-like 'gels' accelerating the player's speed, allowing the player-character to jump higher or place portals on any surface. These gels were created by the team from the Independent Games Festival-winning DigiPen student project Tag: The Power of Paint. In the single-player campaign, the player controls protagonist Chell, awoken from suspended animation after many years, who must navigate the now-dilapidated Aperture Science Enrichment Center during its reconstruction by the reactivated GLaDOS, a powerful supercomputer. The storyline introduces new characters, including Wheatley (Stephen Merchant) and Cave Johnson (J. K. Simmons). Ellen McLain reprised the role of GLaDOS. Jonathan Coulton and The National each produced a song for the game. Portal 2 also includes a two-player cooperative mode, in which the robotic player-characters Atlas and P-Body (both voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) are each given a portal gun and are required to work together to solve puzzles. Valve provided post-release support for the game, including additional downloadable content and a simplified map editor to allow players to create and share test chambers with others.

Although some reviewers initially expressed concerns about the difficulty of expanding Portal into a full sequel, Portal 2 received critical acclaim, particularly for its writing, pacing, and dark humor. The voice work of McLain, Merchant, and Simmons were also praised, as were the new gameplay elements, the challenging but surmountable learning curve, and the additional cooperative mode. Some journalists ranked Portal 2 among the best games of 2011, and several named it their Game of the Year. Portal 2 has since been hailed as one of the greatest video games of all time.

It may lack some of the community niceties, beloved maps (Assault, anyone?), and little features of past games, but Global Offensive delivers on the promise of a faithful, polished, and better looking Counter-Strike for whoever wants it. Even if the community doesn't meet the golden standard of 1.6 and Source, CS:GO will remain a multiplayer classic for those willing to put in the time to learn the maps and weapons.

CANCER...
