transience 11/10/21 7:44:53 PM #17:	100. I still prefer the simplicity of the original Portal to the technically superior sequel. There's something about being introduced to that world, and the test chambers, that really appeals to me. I actually prefer that section to the more natural FPS environments you see in the second half. I think it sets a better tone with Glados and the unusual look of the test chambers and the way it introduces mechanics. I love that, and always go back to it to try to reclaim that feeling of wondering what the heck is going on. One thing I've been thinking about a lot lately is the iteration of sequels and what happens when a mechanically superior sequel loses some of the feeling that made the original special, even if it's just that the sequel had the unfortunate luck of coming after the concept was defined. Portal's one of those for me. I hope they never make a Portal 3 because I can't imagine being at all interested in it conceptually. --- xyzzy <cite>transience posted [p:959882726] in transience...
