You really think so?
As in Chell is their daughter?

Ah, I forgot about developer commentary. I'll start my second play through tonight with that turned on. Does it add much to it?
Yeah, I think that probably is the main reason for the lack of timing puzzles unfortunately.black_b[ ]x;1037155797 said:You can tell they made changes to simplify the gameplay for consoles, basically cutting out most of the critical timing (like the bouncing balls of portal 1.
It's an amazing game, just not worth 50 bucks imo. Probably 35 bucks at most.
While there are people who specifically hate on Valve no matter what, in this case what I'm seeing is that it's more or less the hypocrisy that players are discussing. Other publishers like EA and Activision release a 6-8 hour game for 50-60 bucks and get criticized and flamed to hell for it, but when Valve does it those same critics go 'Valve rox omg omg must buy' without thinking twice about the hypocrisy of the situation.
Now obviously the Portal games are quality of the highest caliber and comparing them timewise to other games is not ideal - nevertheless it's quite obvious that Valve get a free pass from many critics/players which frustrates people who dislike the price/time ratio that average games are heading towards, and want to see all devs held to the same standards.
When wheatley is going ape-shit and mashing a bunch of testing chambers together I noticed far off in the distance pbody and the other goon standing on a ledge, looking surprised. They then ran in through a door. Seems like they are testing at the same time as you!
So, I'm on my second playthrough now. GlaDOS mentions that she took a visit to the surface and "...didn't see the deer this time...but I saw some humans." Has anybody proposed a theory for this yet? If the game takes place that far in the future, I doubt it would be Gordon/Alyx, although the time travel effect of Portals is still TBD...
I've played for about 4 hours and I think I'm most of the way through the campaign. I really enjoyed it at first but it's turned into a complete snoozefest after "the potato incident". It basically just turns into a game about moving along metal walkways and looking up for the one place you can attach a portal. Once the goos come in it's just, "throw a portal here to put orange goo here, blue goo here, and white goo here".
The test chambers that you start out in are small but they're somewhat interesting and Glados keeps the humor going. It loses all of the portal charm after that. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.
Hey Guys,
I extracted all the music audio files from the .pak (about 1.6 GB of .WAVs) and transcoded them to 320kbs VBR .mp3's (also added a nice Portal 2 logo as the embedded album art) and put them in my Dropbox.
You can find the files here: http://db.tt/8jgUvsj - This will allow you to pick through them individually.
I also zipped them all up, and you can find those here: http://db.tt/N7bGEDH
Enjoy!

I thought the Glasdos chambers where a total snooze. They were all so simple, like i could take a quick glance, figure it out and finish the room in like 2 minutes. I think i made it through the glasdos rooms in like a hour or 2 tops.
Valid point for the coop, but there weren't really any timing puzzles in the single player either.Wouldn't it be because of the multiplayer aspect? If your playing something that needs precise timing on 50ms+ pings (or worse) it's going to be massively fustrating. That would happen on PC just as badly as on consoles.
So what you are really saying is you don't like the Cave Johnson character. Well not everyone is gong to love up but giving this game anything less than a 9/10 is just silly. Without a doubt it's the best of the year so far.I've played for about 4 hours and I think I'm most of the way through the campaign.
