Portal 2

Pre-Load is done! Also Potato pack owners get additional skins for Co-Op!

by **GTFO. Loser** » 15 Apr 2011, 08:41

The ARG is going crazy, Potatos everywhere! There is also a count down on the following web site

http://www.aperturescience.com/a/b/c/d/g/h/abcdgh/

Looking forward to it

by **GTFO. fission_chips** » 15 Apr 2011, 16:57

I've spent all day looking at that for another countdown! :lol:

Interesting marketing technique though. Any thoughts on whether it will increase sales of the potato sack?

by **GTFO. Loser** » 15 Apr 2011, 18:55

It totally will, People are playing the games like crazy, Its basically the same as the Engineer update for TF2. However there was no speed in getting that released and I will be amazed if P2 gets released early.

Remember the Potato Sack? GlaDOS is apparently drawing “power” from
computers playing games in the potato sack. For every collective 48 hours
for one particular game, that game’s “power bar” goes up by 1%. And Steam
needs to record you actually playing the game – just leaving something
idling in the background does not contribute.

The potatoes we all frantically collected can still be collected – in
fact, you are a major contributor if you even collect one potato in one
game. Potatoes multiply that game’s particular power, so if, say, you
gathered 5 potatoes in Audiosurf and one in Bit.TRIP BEAT, you’d be
multiplying EVERYONE’s efforts in Audiosurf by 6x and BIT.TRIP BEAT by 2x.

Some people seem to think that launching multiple games is a good idea.
This is in fact, not helping at all, because Steam only records keyboard
activity in games launched through Steam, not through external launching.”

guys if you are going to be talking about the storyline here then dont forget to use the spoiler tags!

[spoiler*][/spoiler*] (Just remove the *'s when you put your text in)

here is an example

by **GTFO. Gash** » 19 Apr 2011, 09:34

how about no1 talks bout it on forums.. as some ppl wont be able to resist looking...

by **GTFO. Irritant** » 19 Apr 2011, 18:22

Do you mean spoilers like this?

Game is pretty ace so far. Only played single player, going to try co-op once that is finished.

By the way, use this for spoilers since the text can still be read using just the spoiler tags. Again, remove the * characters.

All I'll say is co-op was brilliant, I have never laughed so hard in any game

Same, it's alot of fun! I can definately see it having great replayability aswell, only just finished chapter 2 on the sp. So far so good, game is so good looking aswell

by **GTFO. Irritant** » 19 Apr 2011, 22:34

SP is a little short for £30, in my opinion. 10 hours play, and I was distracted with work through a lot of that.

by **Dvveh** » 19 Apr 2011, 23:12

Just finished with SP. According to steam I've played 2.2 hours, but I know that can't right.

One of the most enjoyable campaigns ever played, with quite a few tricky levels.

Will get around to testing MP soonish

by **Ani** » 19 Apr 2011, 23:13

Haven't played the SP yet but yeah the co-op was awesome, with Laro being my partner in science of course!
Not sure about the re-playability of it though - most of the fun comes from trying to work things out (and killing each other on purpose :twisted:

) so if you already know the answers, is it as fun doing it again?

by **plodgeface** » 19 Apr 2011, 23:42

Me and Cyber completed the co-op. Was very good, some very hard levels that we must have spent about ~30 mins on?! Good fun, makes yout think alot, just getting started on the sp

by **GTFO. Avenger** » 20 Apr 2011, 00:09

Haha nice one coxy....

Well I have yet to get on it at all yet, as I only got home about 2 hours ago from my week off

Hopefully i'll get some time in tommorow...maybe

by **GTFO. KARR** » 20 Apr 2011, 00:35

Six hours SP. Cant see me ever playing co-op. So, that's that.

Back to idling tomorrow.

by **GTFO. Gash** » 20 Apr 2011, 00:53

had to delete your post coxy, was too tempted to look at the spoiler...

by **GTFO. Loser** » 20 Apr 2011, 07:31

Played SP and Co-op yesterday with Aztec, Havent laughed so much in my life lol.

was awesome fun

by **GTFO. Loser** » 20 Apr 2011, 07:44

So looks like Valve actually did give me a whole collection of Valve games

Even another copy of Portal 2! WIN!! lol

Shame I have every single game already lol

Was brilliant! Nothing is funnier than watching a screaming Loser slowly fly towards some spikes yelling to me "change the color of the beam, ARGH" :lol:

by **GTFO. Loser** » 20 Apr 2011, 12:24

I will get revenge! Going to play again tonight

by **Hito** » 20 Apr 2011, 13:33

Sounds like Portal 2 is as good if not better then the first one.

Must get P2 !

by **GTFO. Lost Sock** » 20 Apr 2011, 14:18

Ditto Hito - roll on pay day!

by **Echelon** » 20 Apr 2011, 16:06

downloading...

by **Aztec** » 20 Apr 2011, 19:55

Just gotta say, I mean the game was brilliant. But the trailers made it look so more challenging. More spike things to jump between and try getting the timing right. I'd love some real challenges and I hope we'll get them later in the form of mods or DLCs!

MOAR HATS, HATS, HATS, HATS, HATS, HATS, HATS, HATS, HATS, HATS.... uh, sorry, lol.

by **GTFO. NachoDuck** » 21 Apr 2011, 02:27

Just finished the single player, I didn't think it was too short and I found it pretty challenging at times (but then again I suck at solving puzzles). Did some co-op with a friend last night too and that was pretty fun, brings some unique puzzles to the table when there's two of you involved.

As for the whole "Robot Enrichment" thing, the only good thing I can say about it is I hope Valve has plans to make it more valuable. When I put a hat on last night my partner couldn't see it anyway, it seems abit pointless at the moment when it's only there for one person but who knows; maybe Valve has plans for more co-op feature that will make it worth while.

by **kugs** » 21 Apr 2011, 06:27

Just finished the single player. Started as soon as it released (I stayed up

), but tried to drag it out as long as I could after reading people completed in 4-5 hours. Currently going through the co-op with Luckyg when he's around.
I don't think it was too short, but for the length of the game I'm not sure it was worth the money. Hopefully DLC and custom maps will improve that. The story was great and funny, but I was really hoping for more stuff about half life than a bloody life ring :/.

On the plus side, now they have this out of the way they can start concentrating on hl2:e3/hl3

Just a little geeky thing i thought i'd check out:
http://www.thinkwithportals.com/comic/#9

On the second image of that page, Chell's Interview paper's, theres some binary, it reads:The Cake is Lie

How original :lol:

@Loser- so whos getting all these free games then? :wink:

by **GTFO. kk20** » 22 Apr 2011, 07:16

Well here is my take:

I have yet to play portal 1, even though ive had it for a long long time. Might do it at the LAN next. As for portal 2, i'll hang off buying it until ive finished portal - who knows it may be on offer by then. (Hi Gash)

That about sums it up in my opinion. :cry:

Portal 2 went to my spare account so mates can join me when they come over.

All the others I am currently offering as trades for TF2 or Portal 2 items

by **PpJt** » 22 Apr 2011, 12:05

Completed it there. May have jizzed everywhere.

by **GTFO. Sly Raccoon** » 22 Apr 2011, 20:24

Bought it this afternoon and just completed it. Single player is great, now I just need a partner for co-op!
