Who cares about that, when is Valve going to finally get Half Life 4 out.

Picked this game up recently and just started playing today. I'm really enjoying it but what is with the load times?

Yeah it's Kotaku, but only link I could find to the video (which also takes place in part of the game I haven't reached yet >_>)

Should probably spoiler mark it for other people who haven't gotten that far. Since the part in question doesn't happen until after a certain event.lazybones18 said:

Totally. The puzzle where you
both launch really fast through respective portals and stop each other by colliding in mid air

Haha, the person recording the video seemed really into it too, the way they were shaking the camera along.civilstrife said:

Just played Portal 2 for the first time and finished in one sitting. I know this has probably been said before, but goddamn were the puzzles so ingeniously designed. I can't count how many times I finished a puzzle and said to myself "Holy shit... that was really clever."

Finished this game yesterday. What an amazing ride.
The puzzles are great.
Game made me smile and made me think i was smart. So basicly playing this game makes you feel really good.

The co-op in this game is freakin incredible. Totally made up for some of the lack of challenge in the single player.
The
puzzle and one Mister_Bubbles mentioned a few posts back were ingenious. Such an awesome feeling of satisfaction when you solve them. It was also hilarious playing it with randoms, where both of us were without headsets, and trying to communicate what to do through the emotes and icons.

sliding box
Was this posted? A guy solves most of the Co-Op puzzles by himself, and mostly w\o glitches:

Valve fail at thinking with portals. I remember them saying that every puzzle that was solvable by 2 portals was thrown out. Thinking with portals is hard.

It was nice until he started using glitches to get through a bunch of lvels. That's just lame and cheating.

Finished both SP and Co-op. Genius!
Loved the countless of aha-erlebnis moments in co-op.

Using noclip = lame. Getting both players to the exit is the point of the co-op puzzles.

A lot of those use the funnel flying glitch which will probably be patched out at some point.
Completed the co-op twice now on PS3. Any new players want to help me get Professor Portal achievement this weekend? 
And I noticed I'm not able to add a player on my Steam or PS3 friends list or am I just missing something?
Did you note that unlocking achievements on the PC version does not unlock PS3 trophies because Sony doesn't allow that? It should work the other way around, though.

By only getting one player to the exit he's only doing half the puzzle.
Started the ps3 version and then finally got around to trying to get caught up in the PC version. Really digging it, the only issue I've been having is that for some reason almost every time a line of dialog audio plays the game/audio will stutter when it starts playing. Anyone know what could be up with that?

Nice stolen reddit joke.
While replaying some of the single-player chapters today, I realized something; while the Source engine lacks some of the bling more contemporary engines provide, this engine still provides some of the most clean and realistic rendering out of all game engines, compared to, let's say, the Assassin's Creed 2 games (which have some very strange renderers). The IQ, especially for a console game, is tremendous, and the dynamic lighting (when it's active) looks fantastic. Only minor niggles (like no self-shadowing in first person) detract, but otherwise, I still love this engine. Though Valve really need to start using new sound banks; it's sad to hear the same sound samples again and again and again and again in their games.

Anybody doing CO-OP right now? On PS3 with linked steam account. PSN - KILLTHEM16
So I finished the game and it was amazing, all the complains are just nitpicking honestly, is a puzzle game, you are not going to get any other puzzle game with this scope an quality. The puzzles/tests had the perfect difficulty for me, I got stuck maybe in a couple for a few minutes, so they were easy but that's not something bad at all, why would people want to get stuck for hours in a puzzle? really? the puzzles weren't exactly dumb either.
Overall I was really impressed with the game and I 'm looking forward to try the coop some time.

I completed it a few days ago. It's an incredible experience.

I got stuck a few times simply because I was thinking to much instead of using some of the most basic techniques.
Heh. Same, both in SP and co-op. My mind was blown a few times by how simple the intended solution actually was.PjotrStroganov said:
Amazing game, anyway. I plat'd it a few days ago, after PSN was finally restored. Clever puzzles, amazing dialogue and the sort of humor I personally love. GOTY for me so far.
