Koriantor Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hey, I don't want to hear the reference to the portal 2 ending. Not yet at least. I want to experience it all fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabeel Ansari Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 This game was long. A bit painfully so if you had trouble with some of the tests, but excitingly longer than Portal 1. The ending was fantastic. Co-Op also didn't fail to please me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Man, I'm so glad this game has a much more extensive second act compared to the first game. It's so much more rewarding and fulfilling that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I finished single player last night and just completed co-op. Overall I think it was an amazing experience. The single player plot was enjoyable, with twists of varying predictability. GLaDOS is comic gold as always. My one real gripe with the game is how you're forced several times to hunt down sections of wall that can hold a portal in order to move on. In context it makes sense, but I feel it detracted from being creative with portal placement, which was a major reason I enjoyed Portal 1. It was frustrating to spend more time looking for a valid portal surface than actually progressing once I did. The new puzzle elements add several layers of mindfuck to the equation. I'm really excited to see what custom map makers will come up with if/when the relevant tools get released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I also haven't been bugging people about it, in case they're playing through the single player campaign yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 My poor brother is a week away from final exams, so he hasn't even downloaded the game yet. I'm waiting on co-op until he's able to, so that should be a blast. I'm about halfway through the single-player chapter-wise (I think so, anyway), and it's just ridiculously awesome so far.

Garian Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 The single player campaign was a total blast, and the ending theme song was pretty great. I'm glad Coulton didn't try to out do "Still Alive." I have yet to find all the rat dens or all of the secrets in Chapters 6 and 7. do we have a spoiler tag? test. Guess not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I also haven't been bugging people about it, in case they're playing through the single player campaign yet. Speaking of which, I enjoyed co-op's puzzles much more than single player. There's probably several reasons for this, some of which are certainly subjective, but having 4 portals to work with in distinct pairs is really unique. The very last puzzle requires a particular logical leap that's used nowhere else in the game as far as I know. On an unrelated note, does anyone know why the Pneumatic Diversity Vents weren't included in the final product? The trailer featuring them was hilarious. All I can think of is that its only real application seemed to be clearing a room full of turrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cecilff2 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I wish cave's lemons rant was on youtube already. Oh and all of Rick's dialogue. Rick was hilarious. Edit: Oh wait found the lemon one.

south pacific islander Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Sheesh. I feel kind of slow bit I had a blast on single and played a few random co-op, which is surprisingly nice if people knew how to stop hot micing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I knocked out the entire single player campaign last night. What a wonderful game. The story was really something else. I love all the new elements too, like the light bridges, gravity tunnels, lasers, and paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkumajoBelmont Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 ...and the ending theme song was pretty great. I'm glad Coulton didn't try to out do "Still Alive." I think he DID out do 'Still Alive'. 'Want You Gone' is amazing. I absolutely adore it, and the lyrics are absolutely killer. The chorus hook... phwoar... I'm in love...

Garian Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm not sure you quite understood what I meant; The song doesn't sound like he laboured in an attempt to outdo his previous work. "Want You Gone" sounds like it came out organically, rather than trying to "beat" the success of "Still Alive." Harken back to Eminem's lyrics in "The Way I Am," how his label wanted him to repeatedly achieve the same results as "My Name Is" with new songs and he was aware that that methodology would fail him.

Koriantor Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Single player campaign finished. Well done valve. Well done. I was under the impression it was about 3 times as long as portal 1, but it didn't take me that long. I think I've gotten good at the portal mechanic (or perhaps there are a bunch of secrets I never bothered to get). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
