STOP loving CALLING PORTAL AN FPS.
IT'S A loving PUZZLE.
NO WHERE IN IT DO YOU DO MORE THAN TEMPORARILY SHUT OFF AI'S.
THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE GAME IS TO SOLVE PUZZLES, NOT KILL stuff.
THE GAME EVEN DESCRIBES ITSELF AS PUZZLE AND ACTION, NOT SHOOTER. LOOK IT UP ON STEAM.
No amount of caps can possible convey my immense rage towards all who believe portal to be an FPS. It's loving stupid.
EDIT: I know I said this a page late, but I was just THAT mad.

I never have or never will dismiss Portal as an FPS.
Even still, it's not something to claw your eyes out about.

Portal is just a different form of FPS, even though it is more of a puzzle game.

'E.T ISN'T A SC-FI MOVIE BECAUSE THEY STAY ON THE EARTH'
Portal is the cross-breed of FPS's and puzzle games. It's a FPS AND a Puzzle game.
FPS = First Person Shooter
In Portal, you play first person
In Portal, you are a person
In Portal, you shoot portals.
See what I'm getting at?
At the same time you figure out puzzles.
IT'S A CROSS-BREED.
