ghOsty Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) So I'd stopped following the portal 2 development for a while but I realized the release is right around the corner and I was watching some of the vids on the official site and I must say... WOW... I really liked the first one a lot but this second one looks to be friggin AMAZING. The new gameplay elements look really cool and the game looks far more engaging than the first. Also psyched to try out the new co-op mode, looks like that could be a lot of fun and an interesting new dynamic to the game. I look forward to taking my time figuring this new one out. Anyone else excited to play Portal 2? BTW I reccomend checking some of the vids for those that haven't seen all the new gameplay elements...

Guest Gary C Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I never played Portal. But I tried it a couple of times and understand what it is and why everyone loves it. I might buy Portal 2 if only because it's still a long wait until LA Noire (May?) and Arkham City (October?). I expect the puzzles to have me completely stumped within an hour.

Guest drukqs Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Eh, kind of sucks that it's rated E for everyone. I think they should have taken a darker turn and left if T or M or whatever it was. But the fact that Steven Merchant plays the little robot, I'll probably buy it. Portal was kickass.

I'm really scared that Portal 2 will lack this (based on the Co-op trailers i watched). Edit: But the new puzzle mechanics looks fun.

chaproy Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 If you buy it for PS3, and link yor PSN account to your existing Steam account, you will receive a Mac/PC (Steam) version as well. Valve's reasoning, if you've bought the code then it is yours. No such joy for Xbox users as there is no Steam integration. In short, if you PC and PS3, buy the PS3 version and you will get both! Valve are the boys!

Edit: But the new puzzle mechanics looks fun. co-op storyline is separate from the single player storyline. also it has already been stated that the Co-Op trailer is not indicative of the kind of puzzles that are in Co-Op, by a Valve staff member.

Terpentintollwut Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'm guessing the rating is mainly due to it being robots and not humans that are getting crushed/burned/dismembered, but that doesn't compromise the experience from a 1st person view imo. Also there's a chance some strictly raised kids are gonna get to play a decent game for a change, with parental approval.

KovalainenFanBoy Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Does the E for everyone rating mean that there won't be any blood splatters if you get shot by a turret? if so, that's lame...

From what I've seen the single player still has the darker feel... You play as Chell again and GladOS is re-awakened and she remembers what you did in the first game and seems to be a little bitter about it. I think the reason it's rated E is because there is no blood and gore, and it's robots and machines that you are destroying... "for science". You can tell the vibe is still there by this vid, listen to GladOS near the end... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfZWcoyKJvg Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide ghOsty's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/64731-portal-2/#findComment-1541442 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) it is stephen merchant - and his character, wheatley, is going to be a major part of gameplay. you really should do yourself a favour and get the orange box, spratters (if you're a pc gamer, anyway). best deal in the history of gaming.
