LOL! Informed teacher is informed!


That is full of WIN!

 

Anyone else pick up the Golden Potato? I ended up pulling an all nighter to get it on Saturday. I like free stuff.

Now just to get my cast off so I can really play...

 

ViciousXUSMC got the golden potato.

 

He swings his giant sword and then stomps Aperture Science front door. They had to give him that golden potato to keep him away

 

*gets to chapter 6*

wow.

ha. maaan. this game is great

 

Is a Radeon HD5670 enough for this game? 1920x1200 monitor. I haven't played a game on PC since Vice City and I just happened to buy a video card yesterday.

 

I'm excited for player made content.

chapter three now, I will do more tonight when I get home.

 

Yes! I play with my MRHD 5730 @ 1080p maxed with 16xAF and 2xAA at constant 40, sometimes dipping into 30.

 

Well since I'm going all 1600x900 35-ish fps maxed AF, 0 AA, maxed everything else on my 5650 mobility.

I'm pretty sure your 5670 can handle it.

 

I run maxed everything, no lag. 5850 is good enough. Don't know the FPS though.

 

Yeah I can easily run it on the 5870M with no stuttering at any kind and the game looks very stunning. Compared to Half Life 2, Portal 2 looks like it is using a totally new engine. That tells you the testament to how Source over the last half a decade can still adapt on graphics without significantly boosting the specifications. I believe Portal 2 is the latest iteration to Source's flagship as a game engine (with TF 2 the previous flagship).

I am also at Chapter 6. Every time I felt the game ended, there is always a new twist!

 

Vicious is doing a marathon and is probably finished by now

 

Love this game so far

I get around 70-80 fps on my 3 GB nvidia 555m (900p)

 

Lots of hate for the DLC in this game. Metacritics reviews are at a 96 for reviewers and 59 for consumers... every one is whining at how much the NON-Important DLC's, cost...

Also lots of hate because of the length. I don't think they realize there is an editor to be released sometime, or that there's co-op.

 

I think people are bitter in general because of the false perception that Portal 2 was going to be released over the weekend, the crappy award for the 36 potatoes, cheaper pricing at launch opposed to pre-order, and other minor quibbles.

So far though I am liking the game, just a little too same-same as Portal 1 but I haven't progressed very far yet.

 

Just a friendly reminder:

Spoiler

Use spoiler tags if you want to talk about the plot! I'm still loading and probably will be for another few days...I don't want to read anything!

 

Good point, yes please use spoiler tags. I will be taking my time because, well, I have to and don't want it ruined. I've avoided any spoilers so far.

 

LOL at my ENTIRE Steam friendslist being on Portal 2. I can't play it for another day yet

 

technically they are not DLCs. They are more of microtransaction items like in TF2. And you can find them in game just like in TF2; and most importantly, they are all OPTIONAL.

 

Yep me and Hiro just beat co-op and early this morning when I got off work I beat the single player game.

 

Co-op is so fun... Thanks again for giving me the copy of Portal 1 this weekend ViciousXUSMC!! Finished it on Sunday and bought part 2, I'm addicted, haha

 

Without telling me any spoiler (because I am still on the single player, first chapter or two can't remember), how was the game?

If it's not too hard, can you rate the game with two scores, one for single and the other for coop?

 

You mean Hiro

Not bad a run as well. Now I just need to finish of the campaign

 

Hey 24 hours no sleep give me a break You saw all the typing errors I was making in game.

I liked it, ill give a little mini review later tonight maybe in its own thread.

 

Single - 9.9 / 10

Haven't played co-op yet. Too busy replaying singleplayer.

 

Hey guys that are Steam IM'ing me, sorry if I don't respond right away. I usually turn off in-game chat because it usually happens at the most inopportune times and distracts me, or in some games I actually use Shift-Tab combo (BFBC2 comes to mind).

 

single player was absolutely great. can't wait to play co-op with a friend.

 

well add me up buddy, i don't have any one to play either blaster210

 

I don't think people would want to play with me because my mic's broken and don't wanna buy another

 

.. have to go to work first..... and have some friends waiting to join me laters. we'll see...

 

There's no excuse for that. They're less than $10 shipped

 

Loved single player, played a bit of coop with pistachio. This really is going to be a tough choice for GOTY this year, p2 deserves the 95 metacritic gave it.

I thought I was taking my time (looked around for easter eggs and simple achievements) and SP took about 10 hrs. It's no mass effect or da in terms of length, but the humor in it kills me.

Ghaa...35% downloaded. Forget "a day or two", this is going to take all week, and that's assuming I leave my phone tethered to the computer 24/7. >_<

 

Camp out in a Starbucks for an afternoon? A couple cups of coffee is worth downloading it faster

 

Desktop PC :/

I guess I could just take my netbook, download the entire 10GB and transfer it to an external hard drive, but that would make the 37% I've already downloaded here seem really stupid.

I wish there were a way to transfer partially downloaded games to finish downloading them elsewhere.

 

Don't feel too bad, I don't like using my mic at all.

 

Had to stop playing last night. xD
Puzzles be very hard when fainting of lack of sleep.

Btw here at Aperture science we start from scratch.

 

I wish I could play Portal 2

I pre-ordered at Best Buy, and when I went today to go pick it up, they didn't have mine in stock I wish I bought it on Steam now.

 

@jaunderful buy the ps3 version use the code inside for the pc then sell the ps3 version lol thats what a cousin of mine did he got portal 2 for basically $10 (sold the ps3 disc for $50)

@mastershroom you could also go to a library or bookstore like borders or something. i also downloaded the game using my tethered phone lol but it downloaded at an avg of 600kbs so it too a few hrs but not too long.

 

However your cousin won't be able to use PS3 Steam though and that means no Co-op. I swear Valve mentioned that the the PC Version within the PS3 Version are tied together and you can't separate them unless you don't want to go Co-op via Steam on PS3... Might be wrong but that is what I heard people are talking about...

 

Shroom, I'll mail you it on DVD (2?) if you want. I live in MI, you in OH should only take a day. Let me know, PM me.

 

You are correct.

and skip to post 20 in that thread, a valve employee responds.

 

Actually the response from the employee sounds like:

if your cousin makes a separate steam account, he/she will be able to activate it and play coop with you (of course you have to be on ps3). This basically means ultimately you get two copies of portal 2 if you buy ps3 version. However, you only get one copy of portal 2 through Steam on PC because VALVe were not able to do so the other way due to some kind of technical issues.

 

Are you the one that created Best Buy thread on Steam portal 2 forums? I remember reading a similar case over there.

 

Going to get some co-op going here in a bit. Finishing up a product review then onto gaming!

 

I was afraid that my laptop couldn't run Portal 2 because I have the 9300m GS, but luckily the graphics haven't been updated. Anyways, I have just finished it, and it is great! It took me around 6 hours. I would give it 9 out of 10. The story is top notch and it really sucked me in! I played 4 hours in a row because I wanted to hear the end of the story .

I can recommend it.

Cheers.

 

Six hours? I've been in it at leastsix hours and am still in Chapter 7...

 

it roughly took me 6 hours to beat single player, but I was going kinda fast at times.

 

Well, maybe it is because I wasn't searching for Easter Eggs and stuff like that
