Portal 2

[Lasercakes]

Saw all of single player played last night. I was very satisfied with the story arc. Wheatly really had to grow on me. Made me feel like I was watching Dreamworks cgi movie. He really felt out of place for a while, but I guess his personality is intentional and not just for comic relief.

GLaDOS is still way funnier.


This has one minor spoiler by the way, just a warning.

There were some pretty incredible visuals. I nerded out for a while after seeing a giant room crushed trash compactor style. My friend didn't seem as impressed though. A lot of the game takes place outside test chambers, but I wish there was even less of that. The story really gave you a sense of purpose this time, but then it goes and puts you in 16+ test chambers back to back and this happens twice. It is tied to the story pretty well and it's not like they were just lazy. GLaDOS makes test chambers for you by fixing up the facility and Wheatly makes test chambers by destroying the facility. Both of these are really visually impressive to me, but there are other parts in the game that seemed much more worthwhile to explore.

Also, "Dangerously unlethal levels of neurotoxin detected" lol.

Anyone out there want to play co-op on 360? I want to see the story and I'm tired of playing with randoms.

Awesome. I think I'll go for the PS3 version when I go to get this game (inevitable) due to it linking to my Steam account and giving me the PC version free.

So if i get the PS3 version, i can get a PC version for Free? How does that work?

You link your PSN and Steam account together, resulting in having the PC version free for doing that. It allows you to play Portal 2 with anyone on either friends list, no matter which one they are using to play.

If you do not have a steam account, you can easily set one up.

I actually ended up buying it for 360 in the end, due to the PSN outage. But in terms of console version, PS3 is better(links with Steamworks and gets updates like the PC version does)
