Wow! Randy Pitchford made PORTAL??? WTFF EPICCCCCC

If you're just playing Portal now, then yeah, it's not as revolutionary or amazing. Go back 10 years when FPS were still pretty much all just "shoot mans until exit" with the occasional "wander and wait for cutscene" segments, and suddenly this FPS came out that was about solving puzzles instead of mass murder.

As for "Borderlands humor", Borderlands came out 2 years after Portal. It's arguable that Portal 2 was influenced by Borderlands, but even then that game existed before Borderlands 2, which is when the humor of Borderlands turned to complete and utter shit.

tl;dr Portal was amazing in 2007 but time and imitation by others has worn it down.

"borderlands humor" is face mcshooty, the bandit who wants you to shoot him in the face. Portal's has blunt delivery KIND OF like Borderlands, but it's much less... Immature about it.

it's REALLY fun and the storytelling is REALLY nice

Here is the crucial difference in the humor of borderlands and portal. While the delivery is similar the jokes are quite different.

Portal makes autism funny.

Borderlands is an autistic trying to be funny.

>but time and imitation by others has worn it down.
what's an "FPS puzzle" game that even comes close? portal holds almost as strongly today as it did back then.

It does, OP is full of shit.
>Tech Demo tier gameplay
A game that uses new gameplay tech? Sounds good too me.

>>382048543
Portal 2 and all the other attempts to replicate the first Portal all suck compared to the original experience.

Glados made me laugh a lot in 1. 2's humor was far too reddit for my taste

>>382048543
I thought Antichamber was neat.

Talos Principle was fun. I also enjoyed the Turing Test. I may just be a sucker for this genre though.
