Anyone else going to buy Lego Dimensions for the portal parts?

[Other Paddy]

Lego is making a new game with the same idea as skylanders and disney infinity but with toys you can actuallt play with. One of the sets which will actually have levels is the portal 2 pack which inculdes a lego companion cube, lego sentry turret and, of course, lego Chell.

I am probably just going to buy it for this and this alone. What are your thoughts on this?

Lego is teaming up with Valve to make some Half-Life figures? I wonder when they're going to make Freeman, Shepherd and Calhoun. Also, i don't think this has anything to do with Half-Life, in particular Portal 2 so i don't see why this is here.

This is to do with Portal 2 not half life.

Portal 2 is based in the Half-Life universe, i can't believe people still refuse to see it.

I don't refuse to see it, I do believe this. It's just that they are making a portal 2 themed set and not, I repeat not, a Half Life themed set. It's like making a Mario game and saying its bad because of a lack of Donkey Kong.

Not really, because they aren't in the same universe, unless it's a smash bros game of course.
Even then, that's only ONE game which brings all of Nintendo's characters togeather from their respective universe unlike this game which both games are in the same universe in the first place.
I was simply pointing out the fact they should also make lego models based off the other "major" Half-Life figures such as Shep, Freeman and Barney, let's not forget the Combine Turret etc, which the Portal Turret seems very similar to.

First off Donkey Kong and Mario are in the completely same universe without smash and secondly, im not saying there wont be a half life set or even just some easter eggs.

O.o He posted in the portal

1. Why are you guys arguing? He posted in the portal 2 discussions about a Portal 2 legos so I don't see a problem

2. Yes, I am going to get Lego Dimensions just for Portal xD Just so I can play the portal levels and have a Chell minifigure. If they make actual like Lego Portal sets without a game I will be getting those probably too :D :p2blue:

I was pointing out how both Portal and Half-Life were based in the same cannon universe, so it would make sense to have some Half-Life themed figures too.
Also, minor cameos don't count, you know like how KNIGHTS appears in Sonic Lost World.

Pretty lame.
I was hoping for an actual lego kit/model (perhaps Gladdos) instead of figures.

It's very likely that Portal is based in the HL universe.
However, Portal 2 introduced the possibilities of parallel dimensions. Thus, it's also possible that Portal series takes place in the dimension where HL never took place.

It's actually been proven that Portal is IN the Half-Life universe, as there are references to Half-Life in the form of Black Mesa and the cut enemy and location the sentient cloud, or particle storm and the borealis which was later retconned as an Aperture time ship.
Also in every Half-Life 1 game that's cannon you vist a borderworld called Xen which connects two or more dimensions, what dimension was on the other end though? Nobody knows, was it where Race X came from? Was it where the Combine/Aperture came from?
Not to mention you use two weapons similar to the portal gun in both Half-Life 1: Opposing Force, the Displacer Cannon which is a 1-way teleport and the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 which is where the grabber function is based off.
Not to mention you use the energy pellets as a weapon in Half-Life 2 which are vurtually identical to those featured in Portal 1.
Not to mention, basically everything to do with Portal has a home in the Half-Life wiki, both cut and cannon.

1) Black Mesa obviously exists in Portal universe. However, that doesn't necessary mean that events in HL necessary took place. It may be a universe where Black Mesa invested into researching something else, the experiment failed, etc etc

2) The fact that Xen / aliens may be able to travel through dimensions is irrelevant. That's like saying that, because a guy has a car in New York City, he has the ability to drive to California and thus he must have driven to California instead of somewhere else in New York (or anywhere along the way).

3) Simply because Portal and Half Life share similar technology doesn't mean that two exists in the same universe. Similar technology (even identical) may have been developed separately.

While sime of your points are valid there are still loads of evidence that Portal is in the Half-Life universe.
Because you're too lazy to do your research i'll do it for you.

Looking at the Half-Life timeline, the reason the Portal games aren't based around the same time as the Half-Life games is because their either based before or after, looking at Chell's state during both games i'd say Portal 2 is based before Portal 1 because during Portal 1 Chell has a knee implant which suggests she became one of the Cut Combine Female Assasins.
This isn't like Planetside 1 and 2 where some aspects of the lore was redesigned for the second game, they are part of the same cannon universe.
If you put down your games controller, get yourself a PC and use this thing us PC users and gamers like to call the internet you'd know that by now.
