Its funny cuz it was a good game but....I dunno I think it was disappointing and doesn't really live up to that sort of hype... worth 45 bucks? Not really since its got 5 hours of single player then however much in co-op.

I was stuck on chapter 8 for the longest time because of this level

[image loading]

So many that had trouble with that map O.o
I cleared it quite fast actually, ever since I saw the reverse button, I was waiting for a puzzle where I had to suck something towards it, and then change portal location.


One level I did get stuck on tho (feel so stupid) was the one with 1 regular cube, 1 reflection cube, a gravity beam, and catapult...
Took me forever to figure out how to get to the cube, I had the whole puzzle figured out in my head, except for how to get the darn cubes! =)

I doubt valve would have charged the amount they did if Sony didn't make them charge that much. Probably would have been in the $30-$40 price range..

People value their video game dollars strangely. The average person will happily pay $15 for a DVD or movie ticket that only consumes 90-120 minutes of time, yet it seems the average gamer expects every $40-$60 video game to consume Baldur's Gate 2 levels of time to complete.

It was just nice when Orange Box came out with Portal, TF2, and HL2, Ep1 and Ep 2 for like 50 bucks or something.

I have a small feeling that they put a little bit more effort into Portal 2 though :S just a hunch

@ZSlasher

I breezed through Portal 1 in about 2 hours, I'm at around 11 hours portal with neither the singleplayer or the co-op completed

Don't forget that people are going to make more chambers, especially in co-op I imagine there will be some gems of custom maps.

When I finished portal 2 I thought that it had seemed a lot easier than portal 1. But I went back and played portal 1 again and realized that it just seemed easier since I am now much more experienced with "thinking with portals."

Here is how I view Portal 2:

Valve HAD TO finish the Portal storyline, or they would have been screamed at for years.
They put together some awesome puzzles which were hard to solve! They had an awesome story in Portal 2 which instantly captured me.

I don't believe the entire point of Portal 2 is the storyline though. I really feel like they have more plans with it, I don't think that there will ever be a Portal 3 (at least that involves humans).

I would really love to see a DLC where you get more puzzles that you can play through. Or some awesome custom puzzles from people!

Overall, it was awesome that Portal 2 finished off the Portal story, but I feel like finishing the story is only a small part of what Portal 2 will be!

I have beaten the single player and I am kind of amazed at all the people complaining about the 5 hour main story. It took me 7 1/2 and i got all the puzzles right away so the only thing i think they could of cut out is exploration. What is the point of playing portal if you are not inspecting every surface and path for secrets and cool art. There was hardly a pit I wasnt in awe of, shooting my gun while zoomed in hoping for a cool adventure.

Awesome game btw. Way harder than the first game but way easier (and stole a lot) from the independent production Portal: Prelude. If you have not played it I highly recommend it.

Greatest game ever!

Loved it, took me 8 hours and I don't for 1 sec. believe those who claim that it took them 4-5 hours.
Great voices, humor and puzzles.

Very much so. The co-op got progressively more insane as you went along, and the last zone was pure madness.

The main problem I had for me was that there weren't enough momentum jumps. I mean I really enjoyed to game but I think it was very heavily focused on the new elements (which were badass). I just wish they had balanced more element base play with momentum and portal play. Obviously it is nitpicking but I miss levels like the ladder climbing momentum jumps in portal 1.

Also I feel like too much of the puzzle portions are hunting for an area to shoot a portal. I know maybe they are balancing that with portal logic but I feel like what should be difficult about the game is the portal logic. Also kind of on a side point the white gel sucked and wasn't fun even in the slightest.

I just wish there was an SDK released, custom chambers would be so incredible. I am missing the advanced chamber so much.

My reply to the above spoiler.

While I thought so too at first I don't think the timeline works out for that to be true. GLaDOS was based on a woman who was working for Aperture back in the sixties. Chell was in grade school when GLaDOS took over the facility in the following millenium, (one of the potato battery science projects is by a girl named Chell). Caroline/GLaDOS would have been too old at that point to be her mother as she would be in her 50s at least.
