Started playing it last night and got completely hooked. Awesome game and very funny.
As for harder, I think the first half is pretty easy then it get's much harder.

Make a Vortex infront of the jump, let it take you to the top and put a portal on the angled platform and it'll shot you at the cube. Grab the cube and use it to block the laser, put portals on both angled platforms and then use the jump and it'll fire you to the other cube. Should be easy to figure out the rest.
Took around 6 hours for me to finish loved it, but it felt way too easy in places, and no challenge maps =(

Going to finish it up in a few minutes. Can't wait to see the end.
The writing has been excellent throughout but is it just me or does J.K. Simmons' voice work sounds a bit flat compared to Wheatley and Glados?

Haha Arnie. I won't play it until later today and I'll still play it before you!Arnie said:

It really is. I was picking out little design decisions here and there that I'd never seen before but now want to see in every game. Something as little as when you pause the game it auto saves.
Also, this game is making me see how incredible valve is at scripting. It's something that can feel so forced and ridiculous in other games actually makes Portal 2 feel organic.

I hope official DLC from Valve is co-op focused. I would happily pay for it too if they maintain the quality of the co-op campaign and just make it even harder/more complex. In my fantasy we would get a set of test chambers each month or something like that.

Make sure to fit in a playthrough of HL2 and Episodes
And if you enjoy the co-op sections of P2 when it comes, L4D I think is still King of the co-op games.

I love the shit out of L4D and it is easily one of the best co-op experiences you can have, but Portal 2 was better for me. I mean it was goddamn euphoric. And the way co-op was implemented was immaculate (they clearly put just as much care into designing it as they did L4D). The gestures are wonderful, pointing stuff out is snappy and incredibly useful, the timer is super handy, the picture-in-picture is cool and super useful for certain puzzles (and looked really good without hurting framerate), and the dialogue is spectacular.gregor7777 said:

Can't seem to get the PS3 version to download on PC. I've logged into Steam while playing the tutorial on PS3 and made sure I did everything it asked me to correctly. Steam still keeps telling me to log into Steam on the PS3 while playing the game. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Signed out and signed back in and it finally worked.

The ending is brilliant. I clocked the single player game in 9.6 hours.
Loved the Black Mesa reference by Cave Johnson.
That was the one puzzle where I knew exactly what I had to do, but my brain tricked me into not being able to figure out the first step for like 10 minutes.Feep said:
I need to get across this gap to that switch. HOW DO I DO THIS? There's no gel to use, no Aerial Faith Plates, the excursion tunnel won't bring me over there, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.
Oh. I just have to portal over there. Goddammit.

Also, the Steam Timer tricked me too. Beat it, and it said "3 hours." I know it took me at least 5.5-6.

Really hope I can finish the single player tonight before going on a short vacation. I'm a short way into chapter 6, so hopefully another two hours will be plenty of time to reach the end.

Oooh, time to sell the copy that I read 5 years ago! It is a great book though, I wish all big games got this kind of treatment. I'd love this for Halo.

No, there aren't any.xKilltheMx said:
Valve may add them (likely through free DLC since it would use existing rooms, remixed) or the community may do them. I doubt they will never not happen.
Puzzle
stumped me pretty good. I beat it, but I'm fairly certain it was by exploitation as opposed to how it was supposed to be beat.
...20...
I only used 2 of the 3 lasers, I found I could hit 2 of the 3 laser receptacles by barely grazing the first and then using the laser block to send it into the third. I kind of what to see a youtube video of how it's actually done, but I may go back to revisit that puzzle later to see where I went wrong.
Is there a bug/glitch in co-op mode where both player models are stuck crouching but the actual players aren't? I was playing co-op with a buddy last night and noticed Atlas was really short and then realized he was crouched the whole time, and apparently my friend saw P-Body as crouched all the time as well even though I wasn't holding down the crouch button.

Jesus that was awesome.
The boss battle was, like Episode 2 and Portal, a final exam on some of the game's mechanics. It felt right, and I am very satisfied.

That one had me stumped for a while too, but I spent the longest on theFLEABttn said:
level where there's a path projected vertically and there's one turret in the room.
And I absolutely love how sarcastic and insulting GLaDOS has gotten, I'm glad I played the first just for the nods.

I think the only one that really stumped me for like ten minutes was the one with

Placed portals on every gray area near the entry point and blue vortex tunnel thing (expected to be able to use that to push the turrets off the side), until after 10 to 15 minutes I realized I simply had to portal to the other side and use the bouncy gel

Yeah, did everyone have at least one moment where you were like "man, I don't know what to send through my portals....oh wait...I can just walk through them"?
Mine was in Chapter 4 I believe, although I don't recall what puzzle it was.
