Portal 2

[Shlup]

You know, you don't have to relegate Portal 2 discussion to the potatoes thread; we can spare the extra space.

I just started chapter five. Waiting for BJ to catch up; he got stuck on test 18. Which is sad 'cause he was waiting for me there 'cause I got stuck on I think it was 14... and then I passed him. So I'm waiting 'cause we're sexygay like that.

The original game and this new one are so... unf. One of the few things that lives up to the hype, I think. Can't wait to play co-op once BJ and I have defeated the campaign.

It's really really great, and I can't wait to play co-op with it when I finally get a new controller.
I've completed it but I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, so I'll use spoiler tags.

(SPOILER)I kinda went off GLaDOS a bit, I think she talked too much, and had too much of a personality, but that's ok because Cave made up for it. Cave Johnson was the best part about this game (and that section of the game was the most interesting part), Wheatley was also pretty hilarious. All in all, I was very pleased with this game, and I can't wait to run through with Developer Commentary on.

Just finished a co-op marathon with a friend last night. Absolutely fantastic. Single player is great too. The end is just

All that bouncing with the goo made me motion sick. I need a nap.

Had anyone else made this thread someone would have merged it with the potatoes thread.

Anyway major portal 2 ending spoilers:
(SPOILER)If Wheatley is in space at the end we shouldnt be able to hear him speak, further more since the portal was shot on the earth side of the moon Wheatley wouldnt have been flung into the depths of space as many claim, he would eiter have been thrown back at the earth or at least into earth's orbit unless he were to bounce of the atmosphere

Great game though, the only places I was really stuck were the ones where you had to find a slither of white wall off in the distance to fire your portal at.

A theory about Portal 1 after playing portal 2:
(SPOILER) Caroline is the one singing Still Alive and she is being sincere

If you run through with the comentary be sure not to run into any loading screens while theyre talk because that cuts off the comentary.

(SPOILER)If you are near the moon, you are beyond the point where you would be drawn into the atmosphere. So no, he wouldn't be drawn into the earth.

(SPOILER)But the fact that you shoot the portal AT the moon FROM the earth means that he would be thrown towards the earth when he got sucked out of the portal.

In like 2004 you might be right.

The temptation to click all these spoilers is painful.

[G13]

I beat it last night. So awesome! I'll probably try the co-op tomorrow sometime.

I was impressed with the hidden (if you didn't look at them) Achievements throughout the game. (SPOILER)I got the one where you take the cube out of the room by accident and decided to follow the unreasonable orders given to me later in the game just to see if there were Achievements attached. I had a good laugh when I jumped to my death after Wheatley told me I should.

[I Don't Need A Name]

Truely epic game. Still waiting to play co-op with someone. The ending was spectacular, especially (SPOILER)the turret orchestra[.

Also, the inclusion of (SPOILER)the empty dry dock that could have held the Borealis mentioned in Half Life 2 Episode 2 is brilliant.

[nirojan]

aww dammit I got Portal 2 on thursday for PS3, but I don't to play it until I've linked it to my Steam account (which I can't do due to the fact PSN is down). *sigh* Can't even Unlock the steam version unless I've linked up already....

STUPID HACKERS!!

A theory about Portal 1 after playing portal 2:
(SPOILER) Caroline is the one singing Still Alive and she is being sincere

As much as I love this theory, the developers commentary states that (SPOILER)Caroline only became used because they didn't want to employ another voice actor to create someone for Cave to bounce off of. So then, when using Ellen, it created an idea for GLaDOS' backstory. So she wasn't even invented when they made Portal

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Amazing Game. I definitely had to employ the age old tactic of forcing myself to walk away from a troubling puzzle once or twice. As was mentioned here a couple times before, most of the truly troubling spots were simply not seeing the portal-able wall off in the distance/behind a corner/behind a fence. All in all I think this game was slightly easier than the first one though. anxiously awaiting PSN reboot so i can get coop on.

I have played a touch of co-op, and I had a question about Chapter 4 I believe, if anyone else made it that far before the net went down. (SPOILER)Did anyone else's headsets conspicuously go out when Glados starts talking smack about your partner, and telling you you're carrying all the weight for the team? Me and my buddy could only play it once before the net went down, and we were really curious if it was a random error or programmed in to make the puzzle harder.

Good gravy some of the tests are tough.

I had to stop to give my brain a rest just now.
