Re: Portal 2

Day 1 DLC you have to pay for is pretty shitty. Losta lot of respect for Valve =/ Still going to buy the game though when I'm done exams tomorrow.

It has split screen on the 360.

The only thing I'm disappointed in is the prize for the golden potato. The game is awesome, the ARG was awesome, the potato sack was full of awesome, but the potato prize (the Valve complete pack) is weaksauce if you already own all of Valve's major titles.

ahhh gotcha. did they give out the details for what the prize would be ahead of time?

Re: Portal 2

Where you fight Glados and then you finally beat her and Wheatley takes over and ****s you over like a ****in bitch. I'm now in the hole looking for potato head Glados.

They simply said it wouldn't be hat related.

I'm actually no longer disappointed in the prize though, because I guess Valve decided to make the prize giftable. So now I have 20+ extra copies of games to give away lol.

I accept free games as a bribe.

Re: Portal 2

You might be right, it is probably inevitable that they will start to "sell out" if they do well. But at least they can try and make as much of a quality game as they can without trying to nickel and dime people.

Surely you're joking -- Valve is hardly a nickle-and-diming type of company. Their games are arguably top-notch. They aren't skimming you if you purchase something that has great levels of utility to the user. This is not one of those occasions at all!

Re: Portal 2

Giggles, what's your steam info?

At any rate, beat single-player and co-op mode yesterday (SP took me like 5 hours, MP took me about the same amount of time playing w/Tass). IMO Portal 2 is an excellent sequel... it's a lot harder than the first and a lot longer. I loved the new puzzle twists such as the blue/orange/white liquids, the light bridges, and the funnel generators. I can't count the number of times I encountered a puzzle that wasn't obvious to me, unlike Portal 1 -- it was like "Progress progress progress wait where the hell do I go wait how the hell do I get there wait wtf." Most of the puzzles are relatively straightforward, but there are a few spots where you have to really stop and examine your surroundings.

In general, the oldschool Aperture area was tricky because it's just so wide and open -- so you spend a lot of time trying to look for little bitty patches that you can possibly use for portaling. That habit carried with me all the way until just after the Gamma station, where I got stuck for a bit trying to reach this broken stairwell up into a control room. Wasted a lot of time trying to find some clever portal-path to get up onto the stairs until I realized it was likely a momentum puzzle bc of the slanted surface behind me, but then I couldn't find a sufficient drop to get speed. Eventually the obviousness of the truth hit me in the nuts. Spoiler: Turns out I just had to use the orange-slick floor in the previous room by just placing the other portal at the other end of the hallway. Run across the orange floor into the portal and whooooosh out of the other to reach the staircase.

The last set of co-op missions are challenging, too. The first four hubs of levels are easy -- Tass and I breezed through pretty quickly, and any time we got stuck, it only took a few minutes to figure things out. The last set of levels is quite a bit harder. The first time we REALLY got stuck was this mission in Hub 5 (I wanna say level 3 or 4 or something but I can't recall) where you've got a blue-gel dropper and a funnel generator outside behind a grating, and a huge pit with a couple horizontal ledges spaced out. That one had a really sketchy solution that took us a while to get.

Tass and I finishing up the last co-op mission: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eI_h...&feature=feedu
