Valve did patch Portal a few days ago, they have a habit of adding clues in from patches - remember the changed ending of Portal?

The leak may be a pre-patch version?

The last actual Portal update was on the 2nd of March, any other "updates" will just be engine fallout from the recent TF2 updates.

I meant Portal 2. It patched after the first pre - loads were complete.

That's exactly what I'm saying. The game has leaked, and nothing has indicated any information about Half-Life 3, despite the assumptions. Portal 2 takes place hundreds of years after the events in the Half-Life franchise.

Where are you getting that Portal takes place hundreds of years from the Half Life games?

Everything I've read on it says it takes place around the same period as the HL series.

The Wiki:

Aperture Science exists in the Half-Life universe, with the events of Portal occurring sometime between the story of Half-Life and Half-Life 2.

And the Half Life Time line from whoever did this site says the same.

I know its not completely accurate, but I don't think I've seen anything that says it takes so long afterwards?

Crying about it is pathetic, and saying you want a refund because Valve is supporting Indie developers is pathetic and sad.

Troll comment? Not really.

Your comment was completely mindless, you can totally ignore the whole potato pack without any negative effect on your person.

If anything, you're the troll for posting blatant flamebait. And just for the record, I do not own, do not plan to own and do not wish to own any of the Potato pack games; none of them with the possible exception of KF has the slightest bit of appeal to me.

I believe you misread. Portal takes place around that time. Portal 2 takes place hundreds of years after the Half-Life franchise. It's been in every preview of Portal 2 that contains much information on the backstory.

If you watch a leaked video of Portal 2 on Youtube, you can even see as much in the introductory scenes.

Your original comment was completely unjustified. If you really think you deserve a refund because Valve does legit marketing, then please go for it and see what they say. Valve are a great company who are actually nice to gamers, they also know how to do marketing in an original way that doesn't patronize us all.

No biggie (Y)

I've seen plenty of leaked gameplay videos, including the intro and the ending. I think I can safely say this game will be brilliant. I was particularly impressed by how polished it is, even compared to other Valve games. Menus, title cards, options -- all of it looks absolutely great.

You do realize that even being as poor as I am, I support indie developers as much as I can? I even advertise their stuff on my stream.

I have to say this is isnt really funny anymore, Valve are just taking the ****.

Refund.

Aaand when did valve say they were going to releace it this week, as i remember the date being the 19th for it to unlock. The chance for it to unlock EARLY, doesnt mean you have a right to get it early, you paid for only the ability to unlock and play when it unlocks, whenever that is.

This conversation is looping! That's ridiculously cool of Valve though, and a very impressive case mod.

Well we are playing with portals here..

The bar looks to be little over half way. :blink:

I guess people dont need to complete all the games. I dont even know how it works. does it go by the number of people playing one time or some special potato theme thing to find. I got the potato achievement in Killing Floor. Oh well, PS3 user since my laptop cant play portal that good unless i lower all the settings with 640 x 480 :p.

The bar goes up with time according to the number of people playing, and the number of total potatos contribute somehow.

Other games go up faster than others, so I'm guessing it's slower to progress when more people own the game. Such as Killing Floor.

Just a warning to people ... stay away from the Steam forums ... idiots are now posting the ending of the game in thread titles. I am staying away until I play the game I don't want it to be ruined.
