Clavus Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Valve time strikes again.VALVE ANNOUNCES SHORTEST DELAY IN VALVE HISTORYValve today announced that Portal 2 — the sequel to the ground-breaking title that won over 30 game of the year awards, despite missing its original ship date — will now be available the week of April 18th, 2011. This two month slip not only marks the shortest delay in Valve’s proud tradition of delays, it represents the approaching convergence of Valve Time and Real Time. Though this convergence spells doom for humanity, it will not affect the new Portal 2 release date.For more information, please visit www.thinkwithportals.com Quote Link to comment

Mayco Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 It sucks, but releasing a buggy game sucks even more.Great company.Because when a company delays it's instantly a terrible company.Seriously though, who didn't see this coming? Quote Link to comment
Sneed Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Well atleast they dont release shit like Treyarch Quote Link to comment
EmRA Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Sneed, treyarch has usually kept its promises about release dates.At the delay itself, not big suprise. Quote Link to comment

BUT they release them unfinished, and that sucks.Valve releases games, when they are ready, tested and finished. Quote Link to comment

Clavus Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Goddamnit Sneed. Stop derailing the topic with your stupid CoD shenanigans. Quote Link to comment
Mr. Darkness Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 GODDAMNIT @ Valve Quote Link to comment
VMR Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I agree with Sneed. Games like Portal needs to be finished before release. The whole charm in the game is how it's built up, how simple and smooth the experience is. A buggy game would ruin everything Quote Link to comment
Sneed Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Goddamnit Sneed. Stop derailing the topic with your stupid CoD shenanigans.What aren't you happy with me for supporting Valve, And saying CoD Activision And all their companies to suck a dick Edited November 19, 2010 by Sneed Quote Link to comment
TheGreenGrasshopper Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Ah god damn it, I was rlly looking forward to playing it during some vacation close to it.I should have expected it though, but as has been said: better a delayed but finished game than an on schedule release but with loads of bugs *cough* Black ops *cough* Quote Link to comment
Chikennugget1 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Why is everyone crying for a 3 months delay?I smell some Purple Box pack hidden behind that delay.(bah, it could be black box, or red stripe box but let's call it purple box, cause purple rocks). Quote Link to comment
