Valve: Portal 2 is "the best game we've ever done"

[Lordbob75]

they were a lot of fun especially the white gel.

Anyway while the puzzles got more elaborate as the levels progressed I did think they were a little easy to solve, though I did have YouTube one area:

Overall they were pretty easy. Although I did have late night brain farts in two areas and looked to youtube for a hint and subsequently slapped myself for not thinking of it.

Outside of the puzzles, my favourite area hands down was the turret testing. Some of those reject comments were hilarious.

I'd love to be able to extract the turret sound files and use them for windows sound events.

Though I had a YouTube moment overall I thought the game was easier than Portal 1, which did get frustrating at times.

I also read something somewhere where Valve said they wanted to game to be a little easier. They said they did some research and found a lot of people didn't finish Portal 1 because of one area that was frustratingly challenging.

I think I know the area they were talking about - a high jump area where creating portals was near impossible because of location and height. It was near the end. If it's the one area I'm thinking of, yeah, it nearly drove me to quit. Luckily I figured it out..... after about 50 tries (no YouTube ) and finished the game.

Compared to that, Portal 2 is easy

Started extracting - damn there a few sound files...

 

[Lordbob75]

Well, I beat it. Great jokes, decent story, didn't take me long enough.

Hmmm.... I don't have the patience to be extracting sound effect files, way too many of them me. Although the only files I ever extracted where the music files from Borderlands.

Yeah according to my achievement page it only took me 19.2 hours to complete the game :huh:

Seemed longer than that.

Once you find the ones you want, it doesn't take long to extract. Finding them is the time consuming part.

But there are so many good samples, it's worth it.

 

[sygnus21]

Finding them is the time consuming part.

Exactly. But if you want them bad enough, I suppose it's worth the time.

Anyway good luck.

Yup, Portal 2 is awesome. Haven't played it on computer yet but on XBox 360, it's really, really good.

Ok,, Got Portal 2, finished it in 6 hours.
There are some maps for it out there.
I heard there is an unofficial SDK that people are using.
Have not researched it further, and have not had time to try the maps that do exist.

Hoping the map building community grows, cause there is a lot of amazing stuff that can be done with this game as far as Portal Puzzles are concerned.

Would love to see a Half Life Portal Port type thing done with this.

 

[PwnFrnzy]

Tell Valve to give us Half Life 3 already, I want to kill more things as Gordon Freeman!

 

[Lordbob75]

I really liked the singing turrets in chapter 3, that was one of my favourite parts.

For those of you/us who finished the game and listened to the ending track someone over at rage did a remake of the song. I thougt it was rather nicely done.

Anyway here's a direct link to his post - Rage3D Discussion Area - View Single Post - Portal 2!
