Poll: should i get portal 2 or mortal kombat?

[valkeminator]

Portal 2, I didnt like fighting game much. But note that for you to be able to play multiplayer/co-op you will need a partner.

 

[Dommius]

Not a valve fanoboy but seriously. Portal 2. Awesome game, simply awesome. Probably caused me to play far too much in one but I don't care! Just finished it up and can't wait to run through the co-op with a friend now.

I'd vote for Mortal Kombat because it will last you far longer if you like that sort of game. Portal 2, as epic as it is, you're looking at around 10hours maximum combined time for both single player and coop and it doesn't hold much replay value until mods come out for pc. I honestly find it hard to recommend someone pay full price for it at the moment.

Hmmm...simple buy both at the same time, there problem solved.

He mentioned that he only has enough money to buy one.

My suggestion would be Portal 2. From what I've heard, it's better than it's predecessor, and Portal is still a great game.

Why?

Because the cake is a lie. ^_^

I'm all for opinions and whatnot, but a little justification of that comment wouldn't go amiss. Also considering Mortal Kombat is pretty much just Mortal Kombat. Same thing it was the last however many times.

I can't justify HIS opinion. But I sure can justify my own distaste for Portal.

Portal is a game with an overwhelming gimmick. The portal gun. It was also painfully short by all standards and INCREDIBLY easy. I've solved harder puzzles when I was six.

It also lacked replay value. I played through the game once, don't see any point in playing the same puzzles again. The jokes that were hilarious the first time through are kind of boring through repetition. Both in the game and by everyone mindlessly quoting them.

D'aww, can someone not take negative opinions of their favorite games?

I'm not the biggest mortal kombat fan by any means. Haven't played any since 3 (in arcade. Love those days...) Erm. Anyways. Even I am of the opinion that you're either trolling (in which case, good job) or are completely ignoring any of the games redeeming traits. Replay value anyone? Also, calling a game an "STD" could quite easily be considered trolling.

Hell, I downright despise the other games in the series and yet I love this one. Did I mention that one of the stages is the most balls-rockingly awesome backdrop I've ever seen in a fighting game?

Anyway, judging by the poll, there's quite the saturation of Valve fanboys here.

You've come to the stalwart fortress of Valve fanboyism and asked if you should get Portal 2 or a fighting game?

I'd say get Mortal Kombat
The Portal ending was a bit of a downer
Especialy when

GLADoS trapped Chell in the poverty simulator, where she had to get a low wage job as a Hooters waitress. For Science.

Holy shit holy shit holy shit. I know that as a person who hasn't played the game yet, I probably shouldn't have clicked on the box...

...but please tell me that this exists.

Buy Mortal Kombat, rent Portal 2. Because no matter how good Portal 2 is, it's still has zero re-playability. It's the kind of game rentals are made for.

MK on the other hand has online play and arcade mode.

 

[C2Ultima]

A generic fighting game, or a truly original hilarious, incredibly well designed, first person puzzle platformer. Hmmmmm......decisions.......

 

[Nfritzappa]

You should get PORTAL KOMBAT!

*mind blown*

 

[Snotnarok]

Portal 2 was just amazing, every moment of it and the Co-op is an extension of the plot/different levels.

Mortal Kombat is the best in the series since 3/Ultimate, which would I choose? Portal 2. Is Mortal Kombat good? It's the best one since 3, then again considering every one after that was absolute garbage I don't think that says much but it IS good.

That's putting it lightly. Almost regardless of what non-valve game you put up against Portal 2 I'd expect Portal 2 to get far more votes by merit of being made by valve.

 

[ToAzT]

I prefer Portal over Mortal Kombat. More replayability.

 

[Koroviev]

I'm a Tekken person. Portal 2.

 

[RowdyRodimus]

If you are going online, pick up MK so you can get your wins in early before everyone starts hacking it and makes it so you can't win from the cheaters.

(Now a bit of trolling)
If you want a game you will play once to get any challenge before you know all the solutions, listen to a boring, frankly annoying voice and unfunny-I mean "hilarious" memes to be, go ahead and be part of the problem and pick up Portal 2.

 

[Issurru]

1) Find a coin.
2) Mark one side as Portal 2, one side MK.
3) Flip and see what side lands face up. Buy the game it picks for you.
4) ???
5) An initial loss, followed by PROFIT.

Simple.

See, if I have a problem that, while not important, I still have trouble deciding, this is what I do. However, I don't think you have a problem. Get Portal 2.

I do this, but I also have bad luck with the toss and it ends up choosing the option that will cost me the most money (just did this for picking out a new phone) So for me it would probably land on its side just to tell me I need both and that it hates me.

OT: personally I would say portal because well it's portal and i'm not much of a fighter fan, although MK will have alot more to do in it

Valve could come out with a game that has the premise that Hitler was a good guy and killing Jews was the right thing to do and the fanboys on this site would say it was a truly amazing game and really made them rethink and change their views on the Holocaust.

I don't get the portal 2 hype I never really enjoyed it or honestly any valve games.

I for a start am incredibly nerdy like really but the humour in it is so weird to the point I don't even get it I admit the cake is a lie was funny and a few Glados quotes however the rest just had me looking at the screen puzzingly. Portal to me seems like an artsy game which relies very heavily on a gimmick for gameplay and as others have said the game has no replayability. If I see portal 2 for like £10 on 360 I'll grab it just to see if it rubs right however I doubt it. I have no quorums against portal fans but when I see it featured and covered CONSTANTLY it just irritates me and makes my dark side appear.

Otherside Mortal Kombat looked amazing played on the demon for 5 minutes had a blast and also a crap load of extras which gives loads of replay ability. Did you ever play deception that game was awesome
