Why is this stuff being spoiled in the Portal 2 thread? I realized it has been a long time, but spoiling the end of one of the most perfect games ever is a bad move.

Okay, endgame spoilers!
Fuck that was awesome.
Also,
I SHOT A PORTAL AT THE FUCKING MOON!
Also,
I really like the end song. Lyrics aren't quite as hot as Still Alive, but the actual tune is really good
I had to turn off the PC version after a bit cuz 1 puzzle was really fucking with me
I went to try out the PS3 version that I originally bought to get this PC version, the game looks good and sounds good but it's obviously not as impressive as the PC one but if you didn't have a powerful computer, it will more than suffice.
Ironically as I played through the game from scratch in PS3 version, I got stuck on a puzzle that I had already completed from my PC take and that felt kinda embarressing... I wonder if the puzzles are exactly the same or some minor differences, though I doubt it.
This game in general review wise from what I've seen is 9/10 for the most part, probably 9.5 on average which is just about right. It is not a perfect game but it is a really great sequel you couldn't have asked for better.

Man, this game looks phenomenal on my PC. I have all the settings on max and not only is it one of the better looking videogames I've ever seen, it doing it at a full 60fps. Long live the Source engine.

I'm on Chapter 7 or 8 right now, don't remember (
). I'm finding myself getting stuck more often and it's kind of annoying, not so much where I am right now but in Chapter 6 especially. In Portal 1 the reticle used to tell you which surfaces you can and can't place portals on... I miss that feature.

I'm at a loss as to who has laid down the best voice performance here, everyone involved really brought their A game. This will probably go down as one of the most legitimately funny games of all time.

Is the thread title of the spoiler thread a spoiler ? I think I've been spoiled :
Lunacy = close to Lune in french = moon. Aperture Science is on the moon. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Late game spoilers, for an achievement.
Where do I find the hidden portrait, which I suppose is Caroline?

Played a bit of chapter 1. Casting Merchant was a great choice, and he is as good of a casting choice as Richard Ayoade (if he really was supposed to be cast at one point).

Wow, I have to hand it to Valve. PS3 version is awesome! Really good image quality, rock solid framerate, and the game is fun as hell. 
Makes me wonder what could have been had they done the Orange Box themselves...
Also noticed that they seem to have tightened up the character movement a bit too. In Portal (really all the Orange Box games) your character kind of feels like he's on ice or roller skates. But in Portal 2 it doesn't really feel like that.
Overall, very happy that I got the game. I'm a little stuck at this one part but I don't remember the chapter number. Going to go back and try again.

Co-op is good. Better than the main game I think if you are into this for the puzzles.
Moving a light bridge around using 4 portals can be really crazy. One screwup near the end can make you start a complicated sequence all over from the beginning.

On the note of avoiding spoilers... I was looking at the achievement icons on the Steam website to see which I could use as an avatar, and settled on the one I use now. The file name contains a pretty big spoiler, so a word of warning, avoid reading the file name for this icon.

Even if you didn't like Portal's gameplay, the game is worth it for the humor. One of the funniest games I've ever played.

Just finished the single-player game. Wow. Just wow. One of the best games I've played in a long time, and easily a GOTY contender. Hell, it's definitely GOTY at this point. Although with Mass Effect 3 coming out later...
Now I'll need a partner for co-op...

I just hit Chapter 6 and... wow.
This game is absolutely incredible.
This game is absolutely incredible.
I can't log in to PSN because of network errors, but I'm still unlocking trophies. Do you think it'll unlock the respective Steam achievements when I'm able to log back into PSN/Steam?
Nevermind, they do unlock. Hooray!
Damn I just started chapter seven. Man this game is GOOD.
And to anyone just starting saying the puzzles are easier, your right, but its only because the game is like a billion times longer, you'll get your ass kicked. Just give it time. At this point they are giving zero hints and making even menial tasks take time to figure out, its getting insane.
And lol @ the neogaf steam group. 99% of players online in portal 2.
I really didn't expect the way that chapter 4 ended and chapter 5 started. That just came out of nowhere.

12 hours later (though probably an hour or so of that consisted of pausing, and another hour or so was dabbling in coop), and the singleplayer campaign is finished. Got stuck in a few spots, but for the most part it was pure portal bliss. Puzzle game of the decade? Is it too early to call it that?

The first half an hour I have played is continuing proof that the narrative and delivery of dialogue is one of the most lucrative areas of potential for any game that attempts to tell one. Valve's talent on display here is seemingly effortless when you consider how many times they've produced results and with a mute protagonist at that.

I got Portal 1 thanks to the Orange Box. Nice game, but I just can't see HOW some of you can pay $60 for a puzzle game. It....puzzles me.
You must be a console gamer. I paid $40 for my copy.
