ghOsty Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 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 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.

kaini Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 i don't think i've looked forward to a game this much, EVER i have a copy pre-ordered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drukqs Posted March 23, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 From what I understand it is virtually confirmed for Mac, is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Npoess Posted March 23, 2011 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. This. Portal had an incredible atmosphere, I appreciated the humor, but the whole atmosphere of the game, was what made it an amazing game to me. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yes, all new source games will be released for OSX. I'm very excited as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaproy Posted March 23, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscillik Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 From what I understand it is virtually confirmed for Mac, is that right? yes, it was always announced as being a launch title for the Macintosh as well as PC and PS3. 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. This. Portal had an incredible atmosphere, I appreciated the humor, but the whole atmosphere of the game, was what made it an amazing game to me. 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. 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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovalainenFanBoy Posted March 23, 2011 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Poole Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Portal to me is like idm. I don't know anyone who plays it. I'm trying to get friends into it but they're all like" what? MORTAL KOMBAAAAAT!" *techno* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 the last pc i bought, i more or less bought with the intention of playing the orange box and particularly portal. after playing ten minutes of it on my bro's pc i had to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fact that Steven Merchant plays the little robot, I'll probably buy it. Portal was kickass. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spratters Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfZWcoyKJvg Is that Stephen Merchant's voice? I think so. This looks pretty cool. Never played a previous version but will invest in this maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 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.

Without that, the game is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
