I showed him Portal to get his feet wet before recommending portal 2 and he struggled greatly with it. He'll probably stick to his CoD and whatever else he has and just remain oblivious to the portal universe.
It's certainly worth $50 but why should I (or we) waste time trying to convince somebody who has clearly made up their mind and chooses a "holier than you" stance to enjoy a game that you see as beneath you.

fifty bucks?? I'm not going to buy this unless y'all are going to tell me it's seriously worth 50 bucks. Because as much as I loved portal, nothing about its premise was worth that much. It was a fancy puzzle game with a hilarious robot-enemy. If this is just a fancier puzzle game, I'm not buying this until the price comes down A LOT. I don't even like paying this much for RPGs.
EDIT: as a futile attempt to defend myself against rabid fanboys, I'm not saying that this game CAN'T be worth fifty bucks to YOU. If YOU think it's worth fifty bucks, please spend your fanboy rage attempting to politely convince me instead of trying to flay me alive.

Agreed. As masterful as Portal was, I'd rather wait for a price drop. *NM*

Stating that it seems overpriced to her != a "holier than thou" attitude.

Bulletstorm is single-player + coop only and sold for $60. What do you want?

Given that short review, I'd say anyone buying Bulletstorm is being severely ripped off.

To be fair, it's my opinion of the BS (hah) demo. A case of interesting gimmick + bad execution.

If it's as long as Portal 1, then I completely agree

Thank you, Gher. And that last statement is kind of what I'd like to avoid
