Portal - almost a videogame now!

As you all Weighted Companion Cube lovers no doubt already know, Portal: Still Alive will hit 360... someday. But it's been said it has new levels. Well it turns out that the new levels are 3D version of the Flash game version of Portal. Or something, you should know what that means. And for the PC, you can grab them for free (http://portalmaps.wecreatestuff.com/) here, bringing the total gameplay lenght to five hours!

And before I will get called Hitler again for not giving the source, it's (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/07/20/dont-take-your-life-over-portal-still-alive/#more-2166) RPS.

I saw the title and thought "Gee, this must be a Koki thread."

AND I WAS RIGHT

Let me get this straight.

They're charging 360 users for content that PC gamers can not only play now but we play for free.

And the maps aren't even that good!

God. Console gamers can argue with me all they want, at least I'm not getting nickel and dimed to death for what was and should continue to be free content.

.....Damn it :(

Console gamers having to pay for map packs is bullshit, it literally divides the community. Eg On X360 there's Halo 3 and CoD4 apartheid, the white people are the ones who've paid for the map packs.

Sorry, I'm not getting how a map pack makes any game more or less of one.

It's just an analogy, FFS.

actually they might not. they could just as well sell the game at the same price as the one for the pc only that it will come together with the map pack. so you won't be paying extra for it. I don't know, but at least that seems rational.

That's almost as bad. It means if you already own Portal you're buying the same game twice just for the extra content- content that A) isn't actually all that good, B) PC users can play for free, C) does nothing to advance the story.
