Portal Stories: Mel (free to play community mod if you own Portal 2)

mrk · 23 Jun 2015 at 10:06

So this went under my radar until this morning. Looks pretty good, and it's free!

It's out soon, will take the stress out of getting the bugs out of Arkham Knight while the devs sort their butts out I guess

It doesnt say you need portal 2 installed that I can see or are you just wanting to refamiliarize yourself?

Good find btw OP, looking forward to some more portal stuff.

looks like its pretty good, better grab it before steam decides to slap a £40 quid pricetag on it.

just to add that there are many excellent community test chambers in portal 2. Many introduce elements that are not in the original such allowing you to transport boxes through fizzlers, or change your orientation when yuo step through them forcefields. Many of the Mevious designed maps look simple but will drive you crazy - then you get that lightbulb moment

I think people here will know what MOD means

almoststew1990 · 24 Jun 2015 at 07:51

These free Standalone mods are a bit strange in steam, in that I need to add it to my steam library on every PC I have steam installed / whenever I reinstall steam. This makes it seem like it isn't really in my library so if it does ever get a pricetag attached to it, I would have to pay for it even though I've already "bought" it.

I'm basing this on Half Life 2 update and the JC2 Multiplayer mod.

Can't "buy" it on mine, payment method not accepted.

mrk · 25 Jun 2015 at 19:49

Seems fine for me!

4.4GB "mod"

7913mb, guess I should have installed Portal2 earlier

Edit: It lies, now it's started downloading it's 4.4gb for me too.
