Portal is not mainstream, it's geeky to the max. I can understand why people loved Portal when it was just a surprise bonus in the orange box. But then it got praised all over the internet so much, I can understand people expecting a real game got disappointed.Raghna wrote:Why do I hate mainstream games so much? =C
They're all so overrated, like Portal is.

Is it because you hate pop music , that you hate it because it's popular?
For some yes, not for me.

You'd be wrong. Real time strategy may seldom account for more than six percent of sales, but it is certainly in the mainstream and indeed one of the eight core genre to the industry - the others being FPS, RPG, Puzzle, Platform, Fighting, Racing and Sports. There are some genres which join the "mainstream" of a particular country, like visual novels in Japan, but as a rule of thumb these are the pillars on which the international industry stands. Other significant genre which individually might be considered less "mainstream" than RTS include adventure, shoot 'em up, simulation, light-gun, beat 'em up, musical, etc. Subgenre expand the variety even more - for instance, RTT are a much smaller niche than RTS.Raghna wrote:I usually dislike any non RTS-genre which happens to be kinda the only non-mainstream genre iirc.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I understand what you mean, but in that aspect you might almost create a new subgenre for every game ever bought out...Neddie wrote:You'd be wrong.

No the free version doesnt allow to install the source sdk so you cant play any mods.SinbadEV wrote:blah blah blah, portal is a half-life2 mod, installing it on your steam account essentially means you now own a copy of the hl2/source engine and as such can play all mods (like Golden Eye Source) for said engine.
