It's the story that counts. And there are still a few pretty challenging sections. What is so good about Portal 2 is that is a legitimately GOOD game. Something a lot of games lack.

Super Dude · « **Reply #106 on:** April 24, 2011, 12:08:05 AM »

So in terms of difficulty you guys thought this was easier than Portal 1?

lateralus88 · « **Reply #107 on:** April 24, 2011, 12:12:41 AM »

For the most part. While there were a small handful of chambers that left me scratching my head, I didn't feel like I was challenged the whole way through. Whereas (at least with my first play through of Portal ever) with Portal I felt myself running around like a dumbass on many occasions. Though you know, that could definitely be due to not being able to "think with portals" as easily as I can now having had the game since it came out.

Though TheVoxyn mentioned something to me while playing co-op that I completely agreed with. I wish there were puzzles that involved all of the different elements that have been presented to you throughout the game.

I wouldn't say it was easier or harder. The puzzles just had a larger scope than the first one. I would say this game required more thought prior to solving it, but after you figured out how it was done, you spent more time executing the solution.

I think that's what you meant to say. If not, that's what I think. I loved the new character(s), though. That is really what made this game as great as it is.

I meant more time executing the solution compared to the first game. Once you figured out the solution in Portal 1, you could solve it really quick because the puzzles were smaller in scope. Portal 2 had puzzles with more steps than Portal 1.

Just finished the single player, I absolutely loved it. WE'RE NOT GOING TO SPACE

Side note - So far I only have one disappointment with this game. There doesn't seem to be a challenge mode where you are limited on the number of portals you can use for each level. I loved screaming at myself for failing each course multiple times in Portal 1 because of this.

Yeah I was hoping for this too, trying to get Gold Medals (or any medals on some levels) was much more of a challenge so good to do after the game, also the Advanced Chambers and Still Alive Challenge levels were good. The Co-Op made up for that a bit. Has everyone completed that? Some of those were a bit more of a challenge.

Did anyone else save the 'different' turret on the turret redemption line?

Implode · « **Reply #114 on:** April 24, 2011, 02:28:13 PM »

I did. But then 5 seconds later accidentally dropped it into the void.

Implode · « **Reply #116 on:** April 24, 2011, 02:30:16 PM »

It was an accident! What did you do with it?

P.S. And oh man. GLaDOS trolling with the companion cube was epic.

P.P.S. And the soundtrack is beautifully perfect.

Kosmo · « **Reply #117 on:** April 24, 2011, 03:02:46 PM »

GLaDOS is hilarious.

Marvellous G · « **Reply #118 on:** April 24, 2011, 03:16:05 PM »

Just finished it, and what a brilliant, brilliant game.

I basically loved every second, although my very minor quibble looking back is how easy it was, at least compared to the original. Still, just a really heartwarming game overall, can't wait to play co-op with my friend when FUCKING PSN COMES BACK ONLINE.

As a side note, the little tune that plays when you're near one was a great touch.

So, I haven't played it yet, but I do have a question.

Is it really worth buying? I'll be getting it from Gamefly at some point, but I definitely REALLY want to play it. Is it justifiable to spend $60 on something that I'll be able to play through once for free?

Rent it from Gamefly and play through it 2-3 times. I mean, you can beat the entire thing in one sitting if you dedicate enough of your day to do so. And believe me, it's worth playing through multiple times. I just beat it for the second time today.

Super Dude · « **Reply #122 on:** April 24, 2011, 08:29:20 PM »

I'm thinking I'll wait till they lower the price personally. Works out fine since I'm still in school now anyway.

At chapter 8, just dropped by to say that the lemon quote from Cave was just absolutely hilarious and brilliant. This game's already my favorite puzzle game of all time. (prolly the only decent one I've played

)

The timing and title of Chapter 9 was fucking brilliant.

So what do you guys think of the new song?

And as long as I don't give specifics like the title, I don't think it counts as spoilers. Everyone should've been expecting another song during the credits.

I like it, but it's no Still Alive.
