Jimbo Xiii Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 It's everything I'd hoped. More of the same but in co-op it's just so cool.Quite a few hours into co-op, not started single yet. The comedy is still present and the levels start lovely and begin to look run down and something is not quite right with GLaDOS again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Oh crap, I forgot. So should I be able to roll into Tesco or GAME tomorrow and pick it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm pretty sure you should be able to, yes. GAME definitely I'd say, and it depends if Tesco remember to put it out early. EDIT: Yup, PC version today, 360/PS3 tomorrow. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/44020/GAME-selling-Portal-2-today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 yeah gamestation had boxes saying out on thursday too. i'm not sure how far in I am but i've been playing pretty much all night and i'm sort of blown away by the awesomeness so far it's ingenious and funny, it's a long time since i played portal though so guess it is basically more of the same. coop supports split screen too which is pretty cool! (that may be well known but i was plesently surprised as not many games do these days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Xiii Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 coop supports split screen too which is pretty cool! (that may be well known but i was plesently surprised as not many games do these days) This is what we've been playing all night. On the final chapter now but it's 2am. Time for bed. We got it from an indie store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Very early on, got the first portal gun. So far it's all twists on previous Portal tutorial puzzles but you can tell the scope is much bigger already. Stephen Merchant is really good but it sounds weird with him not having a robotic voice.

Craymen Edge Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I wanted to play it on PC for the first go, but PSN is fucked up right now and could be for a couple of days, so I couldn't activate the free Steam version. I played the PS3 version for an hour and a bit. It's great. The writing/dialogue is awesome. Loved GlaDOS's bitchy comments, and the Stephen Merchant droid thing's lines of dialogue on the bit where you have to jump down the huge drop.

Hendo Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Wasn't gonna open up that spoiler but the second bit I've already done. Related to that: I did the same thing, just stood there and listened to all his ad libs telling me to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 On chapter 3 at the moment, the puzzles have started to get tough (for me) and a couple in particular have made me feel really smart for figuring them out. You just stare at the screen saying "that's impossible!" and then the solution dawns on you and you feel stupid for not realising sooner.* So yeah, more of the same. Which is great, obviously. Warning, dialogue spoilers. GlaDOS is on top form with her put downs, especially love her continual picking on Chell for "putting on a few pounds". "Look at you, majestically sailing through the air like an Eagle. Riding a Blimp." Also, Stephen Merchant really is comedy gold. *Just had one of those moments. I thought it was proper impossible and when the solution came, it came quickly and almost as an accident. And I proper 'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've just played up to the beginning of chapter 3. I'm really glad I decided to pick it up, I've been having such a great time with it so far. The wife has been watching over my shoulder for a bit of it, and saw the solutions to a couple puzzles while I was sat there wondering what it was I had to do. Brilliant stuff. The humour is there, as is to be expected, but it's been wound up a notch and is really funny. I'm not going to rush this one as I want it to last, will probably do a chapter here and there to space it out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 i this! finished single player friday, thought it was awesome, the puzzles are great, falling just the right side of annoying for me most of the time, and the single player story was brilliant too, really funny. played through coop with DANGERMAN on saturday, i really enjoyed this mode too, the puzzles again usually fall just the right side of annoying and you really do have to cooperate to get through. and there's funny dialogue throughout but it doesn't really have a story/plot which works so well in single player, more of a collection of levels. played through the coop again online on sunday, my forgetfullness helped here as i couldn't remember how to do a lot of it, but did remember the tricky bits where i tried to keep my mouth shut so as not to spoil it. and i'm still in the mood for more portal. having said the puzzles were the right side of annoying there were 2 puzzles in particular that took ages and did frustrate... single player: the one where you have to drop blue paint on the turrets, this took me absolutely ages, i tried what seemed like everything else to press that button, it's a bit of an inconsistencey though as you don't jump when blue paint lands on you. coop: the one where you have to fly through the air and laser turrets - we worked out a more difficult way of doing this that was close to working so gave us hope and we wasted ages trying to do it a way that probably would never work sometimes i think i should stop playing games and do something more productive but games like this remind me why i play games. really something special imo.

Hendo Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I think I might have reached the point where I have to buckle and look at a guide, unless someone can steer me in the right direction. Chapter 7 I think, 3 different new gameplay things are in use altogether. There's blue, red and white liquids dripping in the same room. It took a while but I've got to the top of that room and now I'm overlooking where I've just come from and a platform above that (where I reckon I have to get to) but no real clue how.
