5 hours of fun. 1.5 hours of looking at something and going DURR.

Lot of fun, but the yapping annoyance ball wasn't that well written IMO.

Pick me! Pick me!

Steam says over 9 hours of playing. So I win because I got more of my money's worth.

When I said I thought I was near the end before I was completely wrong. Wonderful game.

I finished in just under 6 hours.

I'm not bothered, but some might be.

The steam timer thing is a lying bastard too. It massively underestimates quite a lot of the time. I've got games that I know for a fact I have played for many hours more than steam tells me.

Indeed, according to Steam I've played Portal 2 for 3 hours. It's more like 6 or 7.

I checked before starting tonight's session, and it said I had played for 6 hours.

An hour later, and it still says I have played for 6 hours.

I wonder if it only logs a complete hour played, so if you play for 59 minutes then quit it doesn't get logged.

Guess it does. Unless after 1 hour it changes method, but that's unlikely.

It might not log if you play in offline mode?

I can't find it. Seriously. I'm going to spoiler the whole thing out, but I don't find it any more spoiling than, say, looking at the achievements or the chapter titles.

Or would it be spoily if I said there were ? Or ? Or ? :/

I mean what I consider a spoiler is (real spoiler, please don't read) .

10 hours, solid game, if not strictly what one might expect from a "full length" title.

Mostly I spent the time massively overcomplicating absolutely everything when the solutions are generally the most obvious ones - spent ages trying to figure out how I might redirect a blobby plurting thing to bounce some incredible distance before realising said blobby plurter was right next to where I was trying to bounce to.

Some tricks from the first one I didn't use at all, or was deliberately prohibited from doing so - this would be my only disappointment with it. It's clearly been playtested so much that you mostly have to do things the "correct" way, whereas in the first game you exploited the loopholes you found in the standard campaign to complete the advanced levels. I don't think I found a single sticky-out ledge you could "accidentally" land on, though I did manage a couple of tricks which I later found out could have been done in a much simpler fashion.

Remember how in the first one, according to the commentary you were supposed to get the laser to shoot a tube open and get a cube? Most of us grabbed a load of PCs off the desks and piled them up instead. I think I liked that "my own solution" method better.

I hope the co-op allows for a few more inventive solutions, which use more of the mechanisms in single puzzles, as some only popped up almost as a trainer, then were never used again.

Nope.

Someone must have told him. I was partly sure he did it deliberately though, the big gayer.

Prof and i finished the co-op campaign yesterday. Let me tell you, if you think the single player is hard, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Yes, I did, I lolled and stayed till the finish. The song gets hummed later on if you listen carefully.
