kushet Posted April 19, 2011 If anyone wants to co-op it up on PC, my steam name is kushet as well; feel free to add me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted April 19, 2011 I added you kushet. I'm up for some co-op later! Man, Valve have really outdone themselves. Both in the co-op and singleplayer.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thompson Posted April 19, 2011 Most ridiculous game ending ever. No doubt. It's as if it was made for Chris to love. The moon looks really damn awesome. Also a new song, I don't think it's as good as Still Alive but it's pretty good nonetheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

F4T C4T Posted April 19, 2011 I managed to fit 25 minutes in at lunch today (I live very near work). Nice intro. Think I might avoid the net now until I'm done with it. Hurrah for the bank holidays and royal wedding (giving us and extra days holiday) coming up here in the UK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikemariano Posted April 19, 2011 Wait - you've finished it already? Thompson confirms: Portal 2 only offers seven hours of gameplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thompson Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) I did indeed finish it, when I get my hands on a game I tend to just sit down and blast through it in one sitting, if I can. Worth noting that i'm not a Portal genius, I spent a lot of time being frustrated and trying to figure shit out. Ask Orvidos, I talked to him the entire time I played. He sat through a lot of bitching. Not sure why it hit me so much, but the light in Portal 2 looks so damn nice. So. Damn. Nice.

Korax Posted April 19, 2011 Not so fast, guys! Sheesh! Don't you people need any sleep or have a job? I took a vacation day so I could play it as soon as possible without having to worry about sleep. Took me about 5-and-a-half hours. Completely awesome. The ending is insane, but makes a weird sort of sense in-game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squid Division Posted April 19, 2011 Seems like they're upset about the bot customization DLC? I agree that it's stupid, but it's not that bad. THE INTERNET!! My main complaint so far is the loading screens. I loved how the first one just kind of paused the game and brought up a little loading icon during the elevator sequences. It never removed you from the testing facility. It's a small complaint but very jarring having just played Portal 1 and considering how fast some of the chambers can go.

Lu Posted April 19, 2011 Finished the singleplayer stuff! Really enjoyed it. Thought the ending was wonderful. Now to find someone who will play co-op with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a purple future Posted April 19, 2011 yeah the loading screens surprised me too, especially after playing crysis 2, which iirc had few to none. it's not a dealbreaker at all, and they're short, but it just seems weirdly... archaic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erwin_Br Posted April 19, 2011 Finally I've had some time to play! I'm at chapter 3 right now and loving every minute of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted April 19, 2011 Here’s a thing I feel safe to say: Portal 2 is Valve’s first full-length single-player game since Half-Life 2 in 2004. So this actually wasn't so safe to say after all? I think Episode 1 or 2 were longer than 5-8 hours or about the same length? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K-bohls! Posted April 19, 2011 This game is actually really funny to me, I very rarely laugh at jokes in games but I find my self actually laughing beyond a chuckle of acknowledgement. Also this might be lame but I think Portal 2 has one of the best graphics auto-detectors in video games, most of the time if you computer meets recommended specs you get everything on high, Portal 2 is able to choose the exact settings in order to have it look good and run beautifully. Lastly, I will totally be down for some co-op once I finish single player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted April 19, 2011 So this actually wasn't so safe to say after all? I think Episode 1 or 2 were longer than 5-8 hours or about the same length? I don't think any of the episodes were longer than 8 hours. I finished Portal 2 in about 6-6.5 hours and I had a really fun time. It's paced really well and ends just when it needs to, in my opinion. Don't think you can ignore the co-operative aspect either, but I haven't touched that bit yet, so I couldn't say how much time that adds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erkki Posted April 19, 2011 Just made it to chapter 3 (I think it was). It's fun so far, quite like the previous game, and gorgeous. The half-broken testing chambers really add a lot of atmosphere compared to the original's clinical rooms. (I think this isn't really a spoiler if you've watched trailers and stuff, but just to be safe...) The way GlaDOS was resurrected seemed kind of underwhelming though. (this is a spoiler) what's up with that other robot though. The one you meet at first. He sounds like a human unlike GladOS and the other testing instructor... um on second thought I guess I don't want the answer before I've finished and maybe the game will tell me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way GlaDOS was resurrected seemed kind of underwhelming though. I haven't beaten the game yet, but (chapter four or five spoilers?) I got chills when everything got fully repaired and was fully operational. There's just something ominous about GlaDOS achieving full power. I also completely agree with the resurrection being a little bland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brannigan Posted April 19, 2011 Just finished the single player. Been a long time since anything has kept me grinning ear to ear that constantly. Think I'll have to go through again soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
