Somebody talk about Portal 2 with me!!! *SPOILERS! SPOILERS EVERYWHERE!*

I put SPOILER in the title so I won’t use spoiler boxes.

We’ve played it. We loved it. Now let’s pick it apart.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————(did that so it wouldn’t show on the thread title when you hover over it…)

I think the biggest complaint of mine would be the missed opportunities with the GLADOS potato. I really liked going through the testing areas with her stuck to the end of the Portal device, but I really think she needed more dialogue. It was just too quiet at times and I really wished she would talk more. I mean she’s usually pretty talkative (even though she usually insults Chell’s weight), so it was just awkward for her to be so silent. 🙁

Make more conversation….

I think I remember her saying that using her functionalities too much would result in her shutting down (you understand, she’s being powered by a potato).

For me, the biggest disappointment was the difficulty. All the previews and trailers made this game look insanely difficult. And with so many new mechanics there could have been plenty of opportunities to make extremely devious puzzles. If not in the story mode, make challenge rooms of some sort, like in Portal 1. The only problem I ever had in any puzzle was finding a surface to place a Portal on… I don’t know, either they toned down the difficulty a bit, or I’m just a huge genius.

Also, Cave Johnson is awesome.

I don’t think her being powered by a potato should have mattered with just talking normally. She ended up turning off after ’emotional’ outbursts but she was just fine after "YEAH! TAKE THE LEMONS!".

Anywho, I agree with it being too easy (on single player at least). There were only maybe 5 things I had to retry on. I know I missed quite a few easter eggs though :(.

The co-op seemed harder to me. It took me and my bf 2 sittings to go through it. I think what contributed to that being harder though is that one person can’t see the whole chamber at a time. We took turns at running all over the place and figuring it out :p

Haven’t tried the co-op and probably won’t anytime soon. I only rented it. I want to ask, does it have a story of some sort? Atlas and P-body showed up in the end of the single-player so I assume it directly follows that? Also, I heard the ending of the co-op campaign sort of hinted at another Portal game. Is that true?

Ya it kind of has a story. Do you want to know the end of it? I’ll tell you if want.

I heard rumor that Valve wants to try to eliminate single player for their future games. Anyone else hear that?

The space sphere quotes are cracking me up! Hearing all the quotes in a string is so much better!

YouTube – All quotes from Portal 2's "Space" sphere (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVn1oQL9sWg)

I’m the best at space.

Yeah, but it’s only a rumor. And probably a mistinterpreted one at that. There aren’t any official statements from Valve, so don’t be quick to judge.

Better if you don’t tell me the ending. I’ll probably end up playing the co-op eventually. Just wanted to know if it hints at Portal 3.

Ya it’s definitely open to a third game 🙂

I think I like the Rick sphere better XD

YouTube – All quotes from Portal 2's Adventure Sphere (AKA Rick) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmgdtuufi7c&feature=related)

What’s your favorite quote in the game?

Mine is actually, near the beginning and isn’t by Wheatley, Glados or Cave Johnson.

"This next test uses the rules of physics and applies them to movement through portals. If the laws of physics don’t apply in the future, God help you."

This always cracks me up. 😀

I forgot about that quote XD I definitely love that one! I’m trying hard not to pick a space quote :p Space cops!

I dunno, Rick had a great one. "You know what I hope’s in space? Fire. I hope you go to space and catch on fire."

Co-op is way easier than single player.

Is Chell going to die from touching all that moon goo?………

Or is this too OG Portal? 😉

That cake needs more rhubarb….

I don’t think I’ll be reading this thread again!!

^ *music starts up*

Vilify…
Don’t even try….

To contribute anything to the conversation….

Cake thread?

I was going through and getting some achievements I missed on the first run and just got the Lady in the Portrait one………

Now this is an interesting bit of info for the game, but as I looked at the portrait on the tv……… I saw something other than what I was supposed to be looking at… it’s on the left…

original picture –

lighter –

Who is that?!

it looks like just a statue thing. could be wrong though!

also, TAKE THE LEMONS! is probably my favorite line, along with a bunch of stuff that is said right when glados wakes up. the wrath behind it is just so amazing and chilling.

Ah… that makes more sense now 🙂 I was wondering how what the turret was talking about applied to it all.
