Great game though, going for the Co-Op now! oh comon why do people keep pulling those unrealistic numbers. afair the complete time of a edited video guide on a german site was around 3 hours or something. but thats WITHOUT loading times,any nonpuzzle parts,any talk/story parts etc. so unless you have zero load time, skipped all talking, found some shortcuts and immediatly beat evry single puzzle with the very first glance that time is impossible. | ||

U Sure? Cause I can definitely see this being finished by a skilled player under 4 hours. Like I said it took me a little more than 5 hours and I wasted at least 45 mins trying to find walls to put my portal on in the 'off road' areas. So I don't really doubt his statement. The challenges in Single Player are indeed not that hard. You kind of see what's to do in nearly every chamber. Thus, a chamber takes about 2-4 mins without thinking. edit: youtube speedruns without glitches finish the game in like 2 hours....so he has double the time! | ||

That other guy is claiming he picked up the game for the first time and blew threw it in a speed-run level of time. Assuming he did do that, there is no way he took even a min to enjoy the story/world. | ||

voice acting takes place while you're elevating. Like I said, took me ~5 hours (and I'm not as skilled) and I gotta feeling I was stupidly slow at some parts. I'd say really skilled player can finish under 4. why do people always have to claim that others are lying? why should he do that? Just to claim how good he is? If that's the case, it really would be sad... *hopes that this guy is not trolling or lying and is defended by me* :D | ||

There are a ton of skippable lines that are absolute gold. Did you destroy all the monitors? Those are puzzles on to themselves. Enjoy the game! Yeah, I'am not saying there's nothing left to do. I personally don't enjoy those dens that much. And I tried to listen to every line of Glados and wheatley's (loved the hacker stuff) within my 5 hours, although the German dubbing is not as great as the original version.... Don't get me wrong, I DID enjoy this game a lot. But it was a brief experience....I think that opinion is valid. nuff said | ||

So when they say 6 and a 1/2 hours, that is what it is. As a Q&A tester, when you play a game 8 hours a day for months or a year on end. You play the game faster than most, if not all, players/gamers. Mercenaries 2, Just Cause 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum. The guys I tested those games with blazed through it incredibly fast. Valve actually has no Q&A testers, the devs are the testers, which means an even higher degree or playing the game at an incredible pace. | ||

Honestly, I could care less about the story, I'm just in it for the puzzles. People that think like this are the reasons single player games are becoming less interesting....stories make the game more enjoyable than anything else. The dialog in this game add 50% to the overall experience :D | ||
