Get the Witcher 2 simply for the reason that it will most likely have way more play time in it....Portal 2 will last you around 15-20 hours for everything. If Witcher 2 is anything like the first it will most likely be a 60 hour plus game.


Yeah, that's the biggest reason I'm leaning towards the Witcher.  I'm about to finish up chapter 2 at somewhere between 15-20 hours.  Seems like a ton of content.

Portal 2, on the other hand, I'll probably replay if it's anything like Portal.  Although, I don't know if I could get 60 hours out of it.

I like both genres a lot, and Portal's humor is making this a really difficult decision.

Yeah Portal 2 is awesome but unlike the original Portal their are no time trials to extend replayability and you can't do chapter selects in the single player campaign.

And as others have said Portal 2 has a better chance of getting to a lower price faster then Witcher 2.


That was pretty lame of Valve imo.

Yeah agreed. Hopefully they will include them in their free DLC down the road.


Ya they better.

I was very surprise at the content of the game tbh. I cannot fathom how it could have taken that long and cost them that much to make it. But I can't be too angry because the gameplay mechanics are out of this world.

Well if I remember right only a small amount of the Valve developers were actually working on Portal 2. Not to mention Valve is notorious for having long developement times.
