I tried to play it again recently and discovered the woes of no frame limiter, it needs a bit of faff to get it running properly. Awesome game though  :D


Back OT, so what's going to make Portal 2 so special that everyone is rushing to buy it?

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  :thumbup: )

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 :rock:

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

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

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  :thumbup:

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.

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

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  :cheers:

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

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

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.

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

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.

I think the whole game will take 7-10 hours depending how you pace yourself.  I spread it out over a couple of days, it is thoroughly enjoyable.  I think the trouble with the first section of the game is that it is trying to be accesible for new players while trying to be fresh and integrate it with a story.

Be patient, the dynamic of the game changes at a good pace the further you go into it.

As per previous post I have already completed it  :thumbup:

The storyline is very good, I played quite a bit of it again on my PC as it really does look that much better.

PS3 version is now for sale on fleabay :yarr:
