forget DAMMIT GUYS.
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.

Read jubel's posts and you'll see what I was aiming this at. This is just a pet peeve of mine.

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.

Exactly.


I wouldn't call Portal a fps game even that i know it somehow is, because everyone would expect it to be like:

PEW PEW BOOM SHOOOF TATATATATATATATATATATATA BEOOOOW ARGHHHH STFFF BOOOOOM DSAFDADAS


Somebody hasn't got to the turret levels yet...

But i completed the game :c

It's an FPS you forgets, deal with it.

The shooting part can be argued with. But it's not LIKE Counter-Strike or Call of Duty, it's a pretty fun puzzle game. OP, get it.

FIRST

SHOOTER

Quote for ultimate truth. :D

Portal isn't a shooter like you would expect you still "shoot" but it doesn't really hurt stuff but you're in Frst-Person and you are Shooting portals to get places
