Damn Lag: “The cake is a lie.” Before the release of Portal and the subsequent popularization of the quote, I had never had such a tumultuous relationship with a videogame meme. On one hand, it is awesome that gaming had such genuinely funny and quotable game to enjoy as Portal. It indicates how much writing and dialog in games has become a top priority and bodes well on the future of gaming.
On the other hand, it got overwhelmingly annoying extremely quickly and was driven into the ground by what seemed to be every gamer under the sun.
Today, Portal with RTX is being upgraded with DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, multiplying framerates, as well as the transformer model for Ray Reconstruction and DLAA, enabling even better image quality. Portal with RTX is also adding RTX Neural Radiance Cache (NRC), a neural shader that improves indirect lighting, as well as a bevy of performance optimizations.

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
That's sweet, I've been thinking about building a modest pc to play some oldies
breaking news:
popular things go stale from being too popular
Duke is one of few characters that is allowed to have his personality in the game. thats one of many things he was known for. if you dont like that you get board of hearing him say it then you no duke fan so in the words of classic duke.
IF YOU WANT SOME COME GET SOME"
I think every game should have humor (at least some of it) like CoD MW2 ridiculous perks and streaks their hilarious!
i agree portal was nice to play until rock band put the cake is a lie song and EVERY new game has to have that reference even freakin Castlevania had it in it and totally brought the whole mood down....the metal gear solid one was appropriate but now teh cake is a lie...and every time i go online i hear some child screaming it over xbl or psn
"Douche chill" ? Uggh. Just stop talking.
