Portal 2
« on: April 19, 2011, 12:09:12 AM »
Who's planning on playing this? My copy doesn't get here until Saturday, so I figured I'd post in this thread before any spoilers had a chance to get in.

I'm currently broke, though I'll probably still download it when I get back to my desktop later this week.

Fully expecting the greatest game ever.

Duh...this is GLaDOS we are talking about.

Played it a bit (80 minutes according to steam) and so far its fantastic. I love the humour they put in again and the atmosphere is a lot better than in part 1. Also, the new puzzle elements they added are a great addition.

I want to, but I don't really have the money and with exams coming up I should be focusing on uni anyways. Oh well, I'll have the summer to play it.

I'll probably buy it after the school year is over.  Lower price, no schoolwork to worry about, and friends off from school if I feel like doing co-op.

Went to a midnight release last night for Portal 2 with a couple of friends, and went back to one of their houses to play it for a little while before I realized an all nighter was going to destroy me. I can say I am officially anxious to get payed this Friday.
I felt its length in quite a few places.

Few hours in, it is amazing so far.

For the people getting it later, try to avoid spoilers as much as you can. The story is pretty damn cool and a lot of the effect is lost if you know too much.

The game is out already?? Wow I'm excited to play it! I'm going to wait for my brother to buy it since he makes more money than me and he was the one who introduced me to the first one  :P

Plus, I'm not that great at the puzzles and he's really good at that stuff.

I'm really curious how the co-op mode fits into the Portal mythos as a whole, if at all.  I hope it's not some glorified "multiplayer" mode.

I haven't played it yet, but I do know that Valve said Co-op takes place after the events of the singleplayer mode, which would suggest sticking to the storyline somewhat.

I watched an episode of a co-op playthrough and it seems cool, you solve the puzzles with a buddy (obviously) but what i mean is that there is really teamwork so you're not just soloing it all while your friend just fucks about.

So, I think I'm going to give in and buy Portal 2 right the fuck now. I have a bunch of money meant for saving, but I can just replace what I spend with my paycheck this Friday. I have thought this through for a total of 8 seconds.
I felt its length in quite a few places.

I loved that chamber, it has a pretty cool solution. If you want a solution let me know, but figuring it out by yourself is way more fun of course :p.

Also, my post that I thought I posted here but was in the videogames thread:
Portal 2 is very cool so far. Sometimes wish it was a tad more challenging but the atmosphere and dialogue are brilliant. Have the feeling that I'm nearing the end already though, which would mean it's not very long again.

Somewhat ironically, you'll probably spend more time mowing their lawns then you will on the single player campaign.
