Obligatory
Reminds me of the first time I played Portal. I was really excited for the “hilarious song” in the credits that all the reviews were saying.
Imagine my disappointment when I finally get to the end, only to discover that the “hilarious song” was just Still Alive…
I bought the game shortly after release, but within a week it had already been memed to death and back again. I hadn’t been disappointed that much by a game ending since the NES days.
I had the opposite. I played it about 6 months after release, I’d heard all the “the cake is a lie” memes, but somehow I hadn’t heard that song and it caught me totally by surprise at the end of the game. It was such a good experience.
The portal 2 song is good too, but nothing like the feeling of beating the first game and hearing Still Alive.
AKSHULLY Portal 2 featured two original songs: Want You Gone by JoCo, and Exile Vilify by The National.
The tiny piece of opera when ascending the elevator at the end of 2 truly moved me. Only game ever I’ve shed a tear on.

I’ve been doing this for years now. Over the past ten years I’ve probably only bought about five games that were over £15.
