GAF fed me misinformation before, then. Goddamnit. Oh well, that is DEFINITELY what I'll do this time around. Thanks for enlightening me!

I was saying it should be possible a few days before the game came out and had an army of people assure me it wouldn't beStuBurns said:
It went on for like two pages! Haha.They're usually reliable about this stuff. Oh well, we HAD to play it on PS3 originally because PSN was down and I couldn't link up my Steam profile, so it's not the end of the world.
No, I definitely asked about different accounts. I guess people didn't know 110% for sure before the game came out.JaseC said:
But hey, like I said, I couldn't've done it even if I knew it was possible.

I think you were just responded to by dirty liars. Cross-platform play was the headlining feature of Steamworks on the PS3.

Yes, but people were saying that I'd need to tie my copy of the game to my Steam account and then because of that the game couldn't be associated with another PSN account or something.
I always knew there was cross-platform, but whether or not you could do it via the same copy was a foggy area, as StuBurns has said.

Once the game was out I bailed out of the thread due to spoilers, then I waited a few days to see if PSN would come back up and when it didn't I cracked and just did SP/Co-op on PS3, so clearly I missed all of the "OH YOU CANNN" posts by the time I came back into the thread to gush over it.

Ah! Serves you right.

A little over two hours, it was about on par difficulty wise with the final chambers of the OG co-op stuff. It had a really nice mix of all the elements from all the other chamber sets. There is a cutscene at the end and it is fucking spectacular.StuBurns said:

To put it this way: When I get my copy of Rage this afternoon, it could be super fucked and I wouldn't even care because I'm still high off this experience.

is this up on PSN yet?
ALSO
Does anyone still have a free redeemable pc copy code that came with your ps3 version still lying around? I lost mine amid the PSN fiasco and Valve support has told me there's nothing they can do to get me a new one.

Weird, sounds like you're blaming Sony's PSN outage for you losing your piece of paper that had the code on it. I didn't know one could cause the other.
In any case, if you can't find a generous soul who for some reason hasn't redeemed their code and is willing to give you theirs, you're in luck because Portal 2 is only $15 on steam if you really want a PC/MAC copy.

so how do you access Peer Review? Co op challenge mode, is it a new area in the old co op lobby? I'm on steam.

I ran through it with a buddy a few minutes ago
I can't say I wasn't disappointed. About an hour and a half of puzzles with a pretty funny ending, but the dialog leading up to it wasn't as funny as the ending.
Pros
- If you were just getting Portal 2, it would add an hour or two to the co-op campaign
- It blends well with the base Portal 2. I hate DLC that goes way outside what the base game does (like Fallout DLC). The DLC is a nice after game side quest.
- Good mix of different ideas, plus the refining of some elements that weren't used often enough in the base game
- Decent enough story, ending is great
- Is free
Cons
- Really short if you already beat co-op mode. It's one or two hours then you're done.
- Not terribly difficult. If you beat the last few puzzles of co-op you should blitz through this mission
- No new achievements
- Challenge mode isn't at all what any of us was expecting.
For some reason I expected them to throw in a few new challenge maps exclusive to the challenge map section. I was totally expecting 3 or 4 maps from that one contest they held. Overall, the content is fine, it just doesn't seem up to par with the other DLCs Valve has released for their other games.
Maybe the second (and probably final) DLC of Portal 2 will be better. This entire package almost seemed rushed, with it's announcement what felt like years ago, and then absolutely no information until yesterday, with a quick release today with no real announcement or big deal about it. It was just kind of "oh hey, P2 DLC, go have fun!" which isn't like Valve's usual strategy at all.

Seems like it. Especially since it had total control over everything. It looked like an old Glados, and was in a similar room, plus the power the simple keyboard had made me think it was a very old prototype. Would have been cool if the ending implied that it woke up, as that could have pushed in a hint at the future of Portal
