Maryanne Solo Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 We got the game Portal 2 over the weekend. It is really cool. Does anyone else have it? It really is a breath of fresh air. It is best described as a science/puzzle game I suppose.I am not very far into it so that is all I know about it at this point.\o/ Lil wewT!

Celestiall Nightfire Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Actually, it surprises me that you're not already familiar with Glados, et al. I thought she was your mentor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 hehe, little late to the game eh? both were, and are still awesome though. if you never played the first one it's worth it to go back and get it.... the graphics are not quite as inspiring, but the puzzles can seem a bit harder as the tools are much less varied and more timing related. if you have steam you can use co-op mode (not sure that's available easily in the standard, can't remember) which adds more than even the original's challenge modes (although those required some mind bending techniques to master, free tip, entering facing straight down or up prevents rotation in air) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Solo Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 TLDView the whole thing soz. Glados? ahh so that's who glados is. No sorry but she is funny Anything to do with valve seemed pretty ho-hum up until now. It was a gift so I bought one and gave it back. Only 37 dollars here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Void Singer Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 actually I didn't know, but that's cool, definitely grab it... it's one of those games that even though you can beat it fast on replay it still has great replay value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishtara Rothschild Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I've only played the original Portal. As soon as a bunch of droids started shooting at me, I froze, got blasted to bits and gave up. It's a bleeding shame. It could have been such a great game and I really enjoyed the first levels. Why the heck did they have to turn it into a shooter and ruin it for us people without reflexes? ETA: This is the reason that I don't play computer games anymore, except for sandbox MMOs. It's also the reason that I don't drive a car Even MMORPGs... they used to be so relaxing back in the day. EQ for example. Sit in the back and chat with the druid while watching the tank do his thing, and stand up every other minute to cast a healing spell. Good times. All MMORPGs that came out later were pure stress. Why does everything have to be so hectic and complicated nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I bet I can name the level you encountered problems with.... it's the "live fire course for military androids" level.... and there are solutions that don't require fast reaction times. they do however require use of lean and crouch.

Maryanne Solo Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Well we also got two copies of Dungeon Siege3. When you get to have companions, (level 5 or 6? of 40 I think there are), you can invoke the fights then back off and let them do all the work They will even pick up the gold and other stuff for you \o/ It's great fun. Thanks for the tips Void *winx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishtara Rothschild Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I completely forgot about crouching Probably because it wasn't necessary in the earlier levels. Thanks for the tip, I'll give it another try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishtara Rothschild Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Thanks, I'll give the Dungeon Siege series a try as well Your description reminds me of , which was quite interesting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. "Due to mandatory scheduled maintenance, the appropriate chamber for this testing sequence is currently unavailable. It has been replaced with a live-fire course designed for military androids."

Void Singer Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 yeah it's almost (but not quite) impossible to get past that level without crouch, especially to enter the room directly after the facing turrets. that level is all about cover.
