I still haven't touched the co-op because I have no friends and hate playing with strangers online who always want to rush everything -_-. Hopefully single player DLC comes soon.

It's pretty good. Took about 2-3 hours to beat in one go with a friend.
I'm kinda disappointed at the implementation of challenge mode on the single player side. There's no medals, just leaderboards, which kinda kills my desire to play it. And there doesn't seem to be any new cheeves.

I have 1000/1000 already and have played through the game three times. I haven't sold the game as I was waiting for DLC. it seems like a waste of their time and I would have gladly paid money for actual new content.

Yeah, but they are on Valve time. Remember that this DLC was supposed to be here in "summer".

It's on sale for $14 for the next ~6-7 hours! If anyone hasn't picked this up yet, you might want to go ahead and pick it up now.

Man, the time trails are an insane amount of fun. I've been going back and forth with a friend on Cube Momentum.
I awoke this morning and found he had beaten my time of 24 seconds with 22.41.
Just did it in 21.43. It feels really good.

Just completed the Peer Review DLC. AWESOME! as expected.
But Steam just downloaded another update (65,9MB). Anyone know what it does?

I was thinking that all through Peer Review.
From the moment she started talking about the mysterious woman, I was cycling through my brain, thinking is it Chell, Alyx, Mossman?
Oh, no. It's that bird. Teases.

Oh, and there will definitely be more co-op DLCs. The room that leads into Art Therapy is built for it.
You never know. Valve is going to make whatever seems like the most fun, if they manage to work Portal into HL or vice versa I doubt it would be bad. They haven't specified an exact time that this has taken place after all, and Valve loves leaving their options open. (Even if things took place in entirely different dimensions they'd find some way to work it together if they really wanted to.)Nessus said:
So, I doubt Portal 2 will ever have a solid connection to HL, but you can't count anything out.

Since this thread is more alive than the spoiler thread... I just finished the game today after starting it on Friday. Fantastic experience. May be the nostalgia talking but I think Portal 1 did the puzzle aspects better, as I really didnt like that most of Portal 2's puzzles could be inferred from the fact that portable surfaces were very often places in positions to help guide jumps and so on. I loved the rest of the experience aswell, and loved how they tied it all together. I dont want to risk spoiling anyone but it was a 10/10 game.
I will say though that watching this before completing it: (The short fan made film)

That grassy field you come to at the end of the game really feels like the artificial rooftop the person comes to at the end of that video. Would suck so much if Portal 3 started with the same way that video ended and the whole portal 1+2 experience was a massive inception inducing scripted test.
When I say 'suck', it could be pretty awesome if Valve pull it off but I would rather they didn't retroactively ruin Portal 1 and 2 by making them essentially a giant test lol. I did love the idea in the fan film though.

That theory has been circulating for a while, ever since release more or less, due to
that concept art of what appeared to be chickens running through miniature models of offices and the like (or just giant chickens), and what appeared to be grassy, rural areas contained within test chambers.
Portal 2 already has a solid connection to Half-Life. The Borealis, the ship seen in the video at the end of Episode 2, is an Aperture ship that was launched from the mines, and you can access the dock in Portal 2.KScorp said:
The timeline thing can easily be circumvented if they want to. Gordon magically travelled through time through some kind of portal from the end of HL1 to the start of 2, and suddenly it's years later, the planet's enslaved, everyone comments on how he hasn't aged etc. The obstacles they've built for themselves can easily be torn down.
I doubt they will ever truly marry the two together, although there may be references in general to competing portal technology and so forth.

I still haven't had a chance to do the new course yet... there's never anyone on when I want to play it.

How is the new course? My computer is pretty sluggish and while I managed to play through Portal 2 campaign and co op it really was pushing it, and that was with all the settings on low. :/ Is the new co op going to put more pressure on my machine or will it be about the same as the old levels?

I mean the VERY last co op chamber seemed to make my computer play the game at literally 15 frames per second lol. I think it was because the play area was so large with so much to load up. Most of the other test chambers are a lot smaller and more focused.
Does the Peer Review DLC have anything like the last huge chamber from the co op? If it does im tempted to leave it until I can get more RAM. If not I would rather play it sooner than later.
I was replaying the game today, and... (Chapter 9 spoilers
I was in the area where you have to spill the Repulsion Gel on the turrets when one turret, entirely coated in the gel, came bouncing across and got stuck in the room I was in. It was bouncing all over the room for awhile, when finally it bounced onto the faith plate and launched itself out again.
