I can't... buy... this.... yet...

I think I must be the only person on the internet who doesn't care.

I don't care either.

Well, I do care a little, because I'm preemptively tired of all the quotes people are going to spout repeatedly and wear on shirts, and the credits theme that's going to be playing all the time on all my friend's computers.

I'M PREPARED, YOU TERRIBLE FANBASE.

I didn't particularly care about the marketing but that game does seem to be living up to the hype, why not try it?

Are you mad? You cant admit to liking something that lots of people like! It makes you look uncool.

I wish i wasn't doing a werk right now

Finished the single player. Boy, it's a good one. Despite being longer the whole thing felt over far too quickly. Haven't had a chance to get on the co-op yet but i'm hoping that's where all the tutorials really come into their own.

As far as i can remember, there aren't as many quotable phrases. No mention of cake, Just potatoes.

It's short, but not the disappointing kind of short.

yeah, done, 7 or 8 hours or so. Not too bad i guess.

Spoiler:

so bout twice the length of the first? oh and probably in the co-op levels prof

Sorry i didnt also add - it is fantastic fun. I love this sort of game.

And yes, co-op mode. not tried that yet but i expect that will provide hours of added mischief

When I eventually tried the first Portal, I got through the first couple of levels but found it rather underwhelming and never finished it. Puzzle games aren't really my thing.

With the first one I found myself playing on to find out more about the story and see what was going on rather then the satisfaction of completing the puzzles.

And having played it through again last week the puzzles didn't seem as complex as the first time round. (Perhaps my brain has upgraded itself from watching Portal 2 trailers?)

I steamed through the first one on replay recently, for me it was steaming anyway. I remembered most of the solutions to the rooms as I came to them. The puzzles in number 2 don't seem quite as tricky, very well balanced.

But yeah, a major part of the enjoyment from the series is the story, atmosphere and humour. I've had plenty of genuine lols and grunts of appreciation. But if you really don't like puzzle games, then it could grate.

Kept reminding me of those bloody Barclays adverts...

There's a fuckton of loading screens!

My PC also seemed to stuggle with the white stuff, probably because when it was used it was used in copious amounts.

Quite a good little game that was, a number of things I didn't expect and it was all put together extremely well, some of the puzzles were a bit confusing until you get the eureaka moment. Interesting ending.

Apparently I've missed a fair bit according to the achievements. Might have to have another go.

Great fun. Think I took about 8 hours.

Loved the old aperture labs.

I finished in about 5 hours

Spoiler:

Anyone wanna give the co-op a blast later?
