Gay-me sent mine out today, with a little luck it will arrive for tomorrow (I use game for this reason solely, as they often come 1 day early

)

I'm intrigued as to how cross platform is gonna work, I hope this purchase allowing for me to play using both PS3/PC sets the way forward tbh

Shopto.net sent mine today too, so hopefully it will be here tomorrow.
They usually do

You get a steam overlay on the PS3, linking your PSN account to Steam.

I think i'll wait to try it at yours then before i make a rash decision to purchase it, i was saving that £30 Gift Card for a special occasion

If you want it on PC you will probably be able to pick it up super cheap when a ton of PS3 owners try and flog their PC steam codes on eBay

QuotePortal 2 specifically has come under fire for supposed consolification and the addition of an in-game store already littered with optional content and character accessories for the co-operative campaign.

20 mins in, bored, and so far not at all funny

oh edit, it does LOOK good though (ps3)

matt5cott · April 21, 2011, 00:05:28 AM

This had better get good and fast, played about 2 hours now and it's very samey

I'm really struggling to see what everyones raving about, as for the PS3s visuals being very good (they are) I tried it on my pc with everything cranked in 1080, it looks brill

I'm quite enjoying it. I've escaped the labs and started off down a big hole. With a sign, that says "In Case Of Flooding, Seek Air pockets"

With no spoilers, how long did it take you to get out the labs, I assumed it would have to happen at some point, but I've spent a couple of hours playing so far just doing very portal 1y puzzles with extra bits ('woo') and its getting a bit dry

soopahfly · April 21, 2011, 13:53:50 PM

About 2-3 hours. I spent ages stuck on chamber 17 and 18.

matt5cott · April 22, 2011, 20:41:45 PM

Done, about 8 (maybe more? not sure) hours to complete, got a bit tiring towards the end with the none stop puzzles but it is pretty good, though not OMG good as all the reviewers are saying.

matt5cott · April 23, 2011, 17:02:39 PM

Had a longer go on the PC version, it looks gorgeous, tbh I wish I played it on my PC now!

TheMallrat · April 25, 2011, 18:13:43 PM

Been playing it a bit today and liking the single-player but I bought it mainly for the co-op and since Sony decided to take the PSN servers offline on Wednesday, I've been unable to play that part of the game.
