martinist Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Well I just finished portal 2, fun times...will be playing through again with commentary on later
EEVILMURRAY Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Merchant was, indeed, brilliant. I have a feeling the next time I see a Barclays ad all I'll be thinking is "Wheatley!!" Same here, also whenever the name came up whilst loading I kept thinking "That's meeee!"
Dog-amoto Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Are there any portals/steps/time challenges in this game like there were in the original?
Cube Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 No, they'll probably come as DLC (which will possibly be free on PC/PS3).
The Peeps Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 *not reading anything**not reading anything**not reading anything**not reading anything**not reading anything* I've only just played Portal tonight (I've actually had it for ages but just haven't felt compelled to play it until now) and although it was short (I've already completed it), it was great. I can see what all the fuss is about now. I couldn't have stopped if I'd wanted to So yeah going to get Portal 2 some time this week Hoping it's as funny as the first but with harder puzzles
Supergrunch Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I got this at the weekend. So addictive - I haven't played a game for 5 hours straight for a long time now. But it only runs on my dad's computer, which I can't use again until the summer, so it'll be a while before I finish. I'm up to the first test chamber in gamma, with the white portal goo. I'm loving the historical stuff so far. It'll be a long wait...
Goafer Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I was expecting not to like Steve Merchant in it as I don't really like him, but he was ace as Wheatley. Pretty much every line is gold. His "manual overrides" make me laugh. It's just the intro, no spoilers.
Cube Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 How's the PS3 version online? Completely flawless, except for one tiny niggle.
Emasher Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 I just finished the game. Loved the ending, although, its going to be interesting to see what they do with Portal 3.
James McGeachie Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I actually think Valve, considering how long they take to bring out sequels to anything as it is, are one of the companies that's most likely to cut a franchise's life short as soon as they feel it's reached its natural conclusion. Portal could get increasingly more complex and go crazy im sure but I think DLC can basically cover that, it would be weird to have a new story now that had any relation to the first 2 games.
Dog-amoto Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 So, does anyone fancy playing the co-op with me on Xbox Live? Would need someone who hasn't played it before, as I was to suss out the puzzles together rather than having them spoiled for me. <<<<Gamertag
Dan_Dare Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I just finished the game. Loved the ending, although, its going to be interesting to see what they do with Portal 3. Depends on if the Co-Op story is set before or after Portal 2. I'm not sure which comes first. If it's the campaign first, then there's an obvious story link at the end of the co-op game.

Dan_Dare Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 ah, yay. Well there you go then. Portal 3 will be about All the humans hidden away in the Aperture Labs underground.
CoolFunkMan Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I got for PS3 this on release day, and completed it a few days ago. My verdict? Awesome game, deffinitely in the running for GOTY! I certainly didn't expect it when... Wheatley betrayed you and turned glaDOS into a patato. That was an amazing plot twist. Did anyone else find it a bit disturbing as glaDOS was taken appart in that scene? I actually felt sorry for her. Split-screen co-op is hilarious, especially when you dick about and drop your partner into traps.
flameboy Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Charlie Brooker said he would be playing this rather than watching the wedding this morning.
Dan_Dare Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Split-screen co-op is hilarious, especially when you dick about and drop your partner into traps. Never a truer word said. Hilarious stuff. I basically threw my girlfriend on to spikes/ fire/ pits of doom / acid lakes whenever possible. This could, if you want it to, say a lot about our relationship.

The Peeps Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 The ending was brilliant A portal on the moon! Crazy!
Cookyman Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Eventually finished this today and like everyone else I totally agree it's a fantastic game. Looking forward to playing co-op next week when PSN is eventually back online. My only criticism was I sometimes found glaDos hard to make out when she was a potato.
Magnus Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 My only criticism was I sometimes found glaDos hard to make out when she was a potato. ... Just turn on subtitles?
