Title: Portal 2
Post by: Tiger on 2013 Jul 18, 08:44:48
I'm surprised there isn't a thread about this.

So, yeah, Portal 2. No spoilers please! ovO

Thoughts on GLaDOS, Wheatley, the whole game? c:

I really like the concept of Portal. A puzzle game with a great storyline that really gets you into the feels. It feels like you ARE part of the storyline, 'specially with all that great voice acting. And that thing... No spoilers  ovO

The only thing that's been puzzling me is that people on the internet keep saying "The cake is a lie", but I've yet to find anything about that so far into Portal 2. Was that in Portal 1?

I couldnt find the Article itself but i'll do my best to recap the Valve Interview.

Basicly the team behind Portal grew so tired of the overused "The cake is a lie" joke they said that they weren't gonna include any 'Cake' jokes in Portal 2

Spoiler: show
[spoiler]They did hint the cake in a later level with a poster on a door

As for Portal 1, GladOs tells you at the beggining of the game that you will be rewarded with Cake if you finish all her TestChambers c:
(Which is the main motivation for Chell i guess)

The game was great but at some parts it took way too long to figure out "Where to" and "How to". It would be nice to play the Co-op but I don't have anyone to play with...

I love Portal 2! I even have it on both XBOX and PC, Same with Portal 1.

One thing I really love about the game is the music, it's actually kind of hard to notice the music, but once you do, it brings even more atmosphere to the game.  ^-^

Portal will always have a place in my heart as the best puzzle-adventure game ever. I mean, the soundtrack is amazing. The dynamic surrounds always suits the mood in a great way. The puzzles are so expansive, creative, and just plain mind-blowing.

Have both games for the Xbox. Just amazing.

It's been done.

You have done it. I've beaten the first game. Glitched and got to the cake room at the end. I listened to the credit songs. And I am still alive.

You know, there are so many secrets 'n Easter eggs in the portal games...

...and that page with the third thingy...can't really be tf2 cause they updated it. So either portal 3 or HF3

Hopefully P3 with multiple modes. :3

I am royally mad that the PC version has an Editor. And I love editors!

Just might get the game for that so that I can confuse you with masterpieces of a test chamber. ovO

I've been spazzing over Portal 2 far more than I should for, like, the past few weeks.

I mean, seriously. EVERYTHING about it is great. The gameplay, the puzzles, the story, the voice acting, the soundtracks. Everything fits together PERFECTLY.

It's pretty funny when you pretend to help your partner and then brutally murder them.

I forgot what chamber it was, but it involved using a turret's sight.
I fired my first portal at the white wall in front, etc.
Then when it was finished we had a celebratory high-five and a "good job" over the mic, then I shot my second portal right behind my friend.

Nobody survived.

Heheh.

I don't understand how people can come up with such great puzzles. The best I could do was quite simple in all honesty  :I

Just using the lack of light to prevent people from seeing the white portal-able surface though ovO

I just got Portal 2 recently, and I gotta say, Dat first chapter. I'm not that good at this game, but somehow I manage to get the puzzle. Seriously, I didn't get the first room AT ALL until I realized you had to make the laser go into the switch thing... X3. So far I'm only on chapter 3, level 2. The fact that it has a level maker makes this game even better.
