Playing it on PS3, linked my Steam account seamlessly, so immediately started downloading the PC version. Was not only shocked that it went so smooth, but that I also was getting 3.8 MB a second on Steam. (Y)

So really just super early on, and since the Knicks are in the playoffs for the first time since 2004 and they play tonight, that is all I will get to check it out, so have to wait until tomorrow after work to really sink my teeth into it.

Just played the first three chapters of Co-op mode, and I've got to admit that co-op is one of the most fun things I've done with a second person (except for a few other things I can think of ;)). Me and a friend got on mics and spent a good 2 hours working through the puzzles, and it's so unbelievably gratifying when you finish each puzzle, especially the harder ones.

Don't forget when you're playing co-op

to kill your team mate at least a few times. It's the most hilarious thing I've done in a game in years. I got crushed in a door, so I jumped off a button while my friend was walking over a pit. As revenge he decided to slice me up with a laser while I had my back turn, I'm still plotting my revenge :shifty:

.

I'm hoping that there will be some epic community/DLC test chambers.

I'm outta loop so pls can anyone confirm this that getting PS3 version will get you PC version for free?. If so then getting PS3 version def. :drool:

it does , you will have to use the code supplied in the ps3 version to register it to your steam account which will unlock portal 2 on pc/mac.

"So how are you holding up? BECAUSE I'M A POTATO! *Slow clap*"

Had me laughing, best bit in the game :p

Fun game, managed to do it in about 5/6 hours. I'm not hugely upset by that as I knew that going in. The voice acting is superb, probably some of the best I've heard in a game for a long time, it's amazing how "real" Wheatley comes across as.

Finished the singleplayer just before, loved it. Totally worth the wait. Really looking forward to playing through it again, at least once with the developer commentary on, too. For those interested, Steam says I've played it for 5.7 hours. Did expect it to take a bit longer, I wasn't rushing through by any means. Doesn't really matter, had a lot of fun throughout. :)

Just waiting for a mate to finish the SP so we can get started on the co-op now!

Have it loaded on my PS3, PC, and Mac. My plan of attack is more or less play the SP on the PS3, then play CoOp on PC and/or Mac. So if anyone has the PC or Mac version, and is willing to play the CoOp, let me know and I should be able to play it within the next few days. I am probably going to attempt to beat the SP first as I always do, so may not be ready for CoOp until I do that, but this is a game I can probably do both modes simultaneously, so I am open to that idea.

im down and i have the exact same plan as you. definitely want to play it with someone who hasn't touched co op yet.

I can't believe there is already pay for DLC.... Valve is normally not the one to charge for such a little thing like that.... I wonder who is making them do this?

It's annoying, since Valve has recently started using the term DLC for map packs and such, but when everybody else is talking about it, they're referring to the inbuilt store.

The store (at the moment) is fairly useless IMO, since the main reason to use it (gestures) you get anyway for completing co-op (like you get the beanie for finishing SP). All that's left are some flags, some skins and some moustaches.

i don't understand why people are ****ed about DLC. you don't have to buy it and valve is just trying to make money from people who find enjoyment for some dumb reason about virtual goods... good on them for taking advantage of people's willingness to spend real money on fake things and their need to be different in an online virtual video game that has absolutely no bearing to them as an actual human being.

I totally agree with negative metacritic reviews. Valve became way too greedy and a "fast food" of PC gaming, "fast gaming" if you want to call it. 5 hours of gameplay for 50 euro? Potato Sack scam? They can burn in hell, I uninstalled steam weeks ago and I owned 16 games in there - I'd rather abandon these games than play them from hated Valve's service. I guess Blizzard is still OK, no DLC garbage but sticking to old good expansions, no 3rd party program required to run, non intrusive DRM and actually working offline mode in Starcraft 2, and virtual goods for WoW are fine since it is a MMO - not a FPS or puzzle game.

Yeah but them a lot of reviewers are just gushing over this game let will knock off points for others game with similar campaigns yet at least those games can produce hours and hours of mutilplayer. I won't uninstall steam and I got amnesia thanks to the potato sack but overall I'm disappointed with the people who treat this game like the second coming and for valve for half assing it.

Half-assing it? Apparently we played two drastically different games, because there was nothing half-assed about this game, regardless of whether or not you liked it. The graphical updates to Source are aplenty, the new co-op seems amazing (that's an opinion, but the fact that it's there is an improvement), the singleplayer is far longer than "5 hours of gameplay" (unless you're on a second playthrough), there were numerous gameplay innovations in the puzzle formulas, the writing and dialogue easily surpassed the original (no easy feat), etc.

I can understand and respect the views that are upset over the DLC cost, but besides that I legitimately see very little to complain about if you're a fan of Portal. If you disliked the original, however, it's not going to sway you. There's nothing wrong with not liking the game. But can you please clarify what was half-assed?

See the problem is Valve half assing looks like most other studios full effort. This is the company that gave us Half Life 2 and for $50(or $60 on consoles) we should get way more content. Across the board reviews and other sites put the full game at 15 hours of content. That is not $50 to me and imo half assing it from a studio like Valve. Making the writing and dialogue better is not worth selling it as a full priced game. I might get it at the Christmas sale but my money will most likely be spent on real games that give me hours of content for the price like ME3, Skyrim and BF3(mulitplayer hours I know the campaign will be short). Those games deliver on $60 portal 2 to me personally does not.

Good game so far (PS3 wise). Im sorry but i might sell the ps3 version when I finish the game or upgrade my PC and use the voucher. I thought of putting the PC voucher on ebay since i see some up there for $25 but I think Ill have more fun PC wise.

Single player was so good, I cant wait to play co op, the game has left me with no doubts, and it was worth the wait. Story wise, development was interesting as the plot thick ed and left me wanting for more! 6 hours to complete, but best hours of this week :D

How about THIS Easter egg?

Super 8 and Portal 2 FTW.

Beat the game. Amazing.

Just saw it after playing up to chapter 4 on PS3, by then the pc version was done downloading. I don't think I would be able to finish this game for another week or two (GLaDOS I mean my wife's coming back home tomorrow).

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
