Finished the game right now.
It was memorable. One of the greatest gaming experiences ever. I'm pretty speechless.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Is there a way to make Source games start with the fps_max 60 command? An autoexec.cfg style file? I'm usually playing them windowed and vsync doesn't work with that (well, if that can work that would be better) so they tend to overwork the card and run at insane fps on things like the menus etc.

Set it as a launch option (+fps_max 60) by right-clicking on the game in the Steam library list, selecting Properties and then clicking Set Launch Options.
You can find config.cfg in the game's cfg folder (e.g. steamapps\common\portal2\portal2\cfg), but in the case of Portal 2 the game resets to the default value of 300 if you don't have the fps_max cvar defined as a launch option.

Stuck on Chap. 5
In the area where I have to destroy the neurotoxin stuff. Placed a portal at the end of the laser next to the button that opens the door, but I have no idea where to put the other one.

I had to sell my PS3 copy but did so before I could link my steam account. I plan to pick it up again on Friday, and have my coupon still, so my question is will I be able to buy it preowned and use my coupon, or is each disc tied to its own coupon? I noticed a code printed under the BLES code on the disc implying that the latter may be the case. Does anyone know?
Edit: Just noticed a load of other games have a similar code printed in a similar manner. they are all games that came with extra content (mainly EA games DS: Extraction code,
Skate 3 Comminity Pack, NFS:HP Online Pass, etc) Are all these codes tied to their respective blu-rays? I'm sure Xbox dvd's don't work like this, I passed a duplicate Alan Wake The Writer code to a fellow gaffer.

The tag is just what Sony use to id each particular game within a particular region (e.g. BLESXXXXX is Europe/PAL Land, IIRC). There is no possible way Valve could tie a redeem code to a specific disc even if they wanted to.
Suffice to say, your redeem code will function just fine. Since you still have it on you, why not just save yourself a few bucks and rent the game instead of purchasing it again?
Rewrite said:I just finished it. WOW.
That's all I can say. Beautiful.
That really DID happen. :O:O
one thing though,Still Alive was a much better ending credit song. I didn't feel the new song too much.
I thought it was a little better musically.
"Exile Vilify" is still the best though

I know the BLES code is a region thing, all discs have this, but there is a code underneath this one on certain discs, Portal 2 being one of them. On Hot Pursuit its EAX-------. But I'll take your word for it not being a problem, just curious what this mysterious code is...JaseC said:
I want it on PS3 because it's my dad's PC, and I prefer the pad to M&KB anyway.

thanks for the response
oh snap i missed that little side room! my bad.
i havent played any HL games at all. should i start with HL1 or can i get away with playing HL2?
-NinjaBoiX- said:
Yeah, sorry, I misread your post and didn't notice you said under the BLES code. Having just looked at a bunch of my own PS3 games, as far as I can tell it's a code EA chuck on to the disc art of the games they distribute. Probably an identifier for each individual disc pressed.
Ah, okay. I had thought you simply wanted to redeem your PC copy and then be done with the PS3 version.

The original Half-Life isn't necessary to understand the events of Half-Life 2, but having said that even to this day it's still an amazing game, so I say start with it.

See this is my worry, if they can identify each individual disc, and each coupon is obviously individual, then maybe each coupon is only redeemable on this disc it was boxed with. Or maybe each disc only allows one activation of the code, irregardless of wether it was the one in the box. Or maybe it's as you said, each code can be activated just once, but on any disc not matter how many codes have been redeemed with that disc.JaseC said:
Argh! Maybe I'll just buy it new again, it's been out just long enough too be starting to get discounted, but not quite long enough to be cheap pre-owned. Plus, an extra sale to Valve is fine with me.
-NinjaBoiX- said:
But that wouldn't be EA's call, it would be Valves, and they've said nothing of it. Even if they did try to sneak it in, we would've heard something of it by now.
If you're really worried, rent the game. Then, when your code works, take it back and buy your own copy again.
Edit: Since the code is only needed on the PC end when you've signed in to or created a Steam account on the PS3, tying it to a disc would be pointless. It's a code for Steam, after all.

Finally deep enough into the single player now to form something of an opinion.
1) This game is a classic.
2) The loading times (frequency and placement, not length) really hurt the experience.

Finding something secret and hidden is an achievement. You've done something not everyone has done.
The only thing wrong with achievements is when you can't turn them off and they pop up in single player games, completely destroying any mood or atmosphere. So annoying.
One thing I've noticed about the co-op campaign is that the puzzles tend to be easily solved the wrong way, and by the wrong way I just mean an alternative way. I don't know how many times my partner and I finished a puzzle and we were just like "What the hell? What was that button for?" or "Were we supposed to use this cube for something?" It's happened frequently.
That would be agreeable.Killthee said:
Wait, actually, can you create a PSN account right now with the Store down?
I've noticed that in a few rooms, playing through them again. Seems to happen most in the excursion funnel and light bridge rooms, where you can finagle a weird solution when there's always a more elegant intended one._Isaac said:

Very true! Possibly the only instance of an achievement pop-up working to enhance the in-game experience. In that long interview with Wolpaw, he said:
And I wrote it down, because it's a really good point ¬_¬
Anyone mind helping me to do Professor Portal and Friends List with Benefits for the Platinum in half an hour or more? Would really appreciate it. My PSN/Steam is Aurarian.
Does anyone know if in order to unlock the latter achievement, you have to either do it with only your PSN friends or can it be a mix of psn/steam.

I think I'm obsessed with this game. I finished it a week ago and I just can't stop replaying it, playing single player with others, playing co-op, etc.
I just love it so much and it's going to ruin gaming for me, haha. Because now I won't be able to play another game (for a while) that doesn't make me sneer at the characters and wonder why they're not as amazing as GlaDOS and Wheatley.
Thanks, Portal 2.
