OpenWorldGames Server ONE

Oops, thought I could just put a reminder on the calendar that Portal 2 was to come out on this day. Don't know where I got myself into with this event thing. But anyway, now that I started it, let's all comment some first impressions on the first-day-play-experience.

The finiest, nicest or whatever greatest review gets 100 kredits  ;)

I'll put the max response time to 3 days, so all of us get a chance of writing something

Cheers

nice one  ;D :-X

I hope you will be joining in on Portal 2 as well Art, must be a fun game to coop sometime  :-X

sorry no, the game idea doesn't interest me

I was thinking you played the first one Art . . . must be thinking of someone else  :shocked

JRD did

I won't be getting it until this weekend at the earliest..... and considering there's a big Minecraft update due this week as well..... need more hours in the day, lol.

Well, I'll check how many competitors we have and maybe we can extend the respond time. It should be great if we all will be able to write something.  ;)

ooooh, Steam says: 16 hours left....

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy  :-()

 :-D

Funny how I'm ahead of everyone else here in terms of time zones, but behind everyone else in terms of game releases... ::) That's the price I pay for living on a desert island, I guess :-()

Funny, these timezones differing between us. Too bad you got to wait though  :-(

WoOoweEEE!!!! I'm in!!!!

Just woke up, stumbled my way through to the first portal device, and realised that these wallpaintings we all know from the first Portal have seriously evolved!!! Think the painter had quite some time to practice ;)
[smg id=3201 width=500]

nice!  enjoy and share your thoughts on the game  :-X

Indeed!  There appears to be quite a bit of excitement regarding this game  :-X

sure is (ohboyohboyohboy!)

have you not downloaded and played the first one yet PZ?  I think Steam has it for $10.  Well well worth it.  You can get into it and join the Portal gang  ;D

I've not honestly looked at it so I probably need to.  As to download, I doubt that it would w@&k on my Internet connection!  ???

Who was talking about hating cans of beans again?  :)
[smg id=3203 width=400]
Guess we need quite some carbohydrates to salve this puzzle  ^-^

@binnatics - love that picture.  "too many variables" will be my new catch phrase I use at w@&k that nobody will know I'm secretly quoting a game.  I will chuckle inwardly to myself.  ;D

@PZ.  if you can't download it on PC, you'll have to look for the Orange Box on PS3.  It is a package that includes Half Life 2 and Team Fortress.  You can buy it cheap or rent it like I did just to play Portal.

Either way I recommend playing the first game.  It only takes a handful of hours really, but I think it's wise to do so to really appreciate P2.

Thanks space, will look for it.  :-X

Amazing graphics  ;)

This game is sick!!!

PORTAL 2 FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
This game is so slick, so smooth, so polished, that it's going to be extremely difficult to write anything concise and to the point so that I don't drone on for pages and pages with everyone reading it losing interest somewhere in the middle.  The environment and ambience in P2 are much different than what was present in the first game:  the Aperture Science facility is now just as much jungle as it is man-made, with surprise terrain changes around every corner, doors blocked by debris, crooked hallways, and on and on.  The nonsensical architecture is reflective of the fact that GLaDOS is now creating testing chambers in real time, by actively reconfiguring the entire facility to suit her own twisted needs. 
This is all a far cry from the sterile environments of the first game, and serves to highlight the fact that, at the games opening, there is no way to tell for sure how much time has elapsed between the two titles.  The Enrichment Center has been abandoned, and the timer that kept track of how many days your body was in stasis has been stuck at 999 for who knows how long.  GLaDOS herself is no longer trying to be "helpful", but rather (upon her accidental reactivation) skips straight to the thinly veiled hostility she displayed toward the end of Portal 1 (for example, she frequently insinuates that Chell has gotten fat during her hibernation).  She immediately claims you as her prisoner, with her stated intention being that you will be made to continue testing for the rest of your life.
As you begin working your way through the dilapidated testing center once again, many strange and almost familiar sights greet you.  Several testing chambers from the first game are visited early on, but with a few different twists to make it interesting.  You also pass frequently between chambers and behind-the-scenes areas with the help of Wheatley, a bumbling personality core who is trying to help you escape from the center.  All in all, this is shaping up to be a great experience, already filled with twists, surprises, and fiendishly clever puzzles.  Stay tuned . . . 

sounds like it isn't necessary to play P1 to get into P2. Sounds interesting, however :)

Has the game got a screenshot function or were those taken using an external program?

THAT is great!  THAT is GlaDOS for you.  Perfect.  the whole quick impression sounds awesome mmosu!

@Art, I'll say while it probably isn't necessary, you'd appreciate it much better having already experienced that relationship with GLaDOS (just clikc the "remember when" quote on the soundboard to understand lol)

Lol, Great first impressions mmosu!!!!

I totally agree with you, this game is insane!

My "Portal 2 first impressions":
First of all, I found myself in a Hotel room, sort of. It was all nice and clean, and there was a painting on the wall. Then I had to lay down on the bed, and suddenly the room was changed like it had been abandoned for years. Funny details were the bed with a print of 'my fine body' in it, so damn slept I would have a hernia by now.
Other detail was the painting on the wall; it was really changed into some hellish landscape with a big moon in the air instead of a sunset.
Then came knocking on the door a robotic head named "Wheatley" who happens to speak just the way Art Blade does: An English accent with an enthousiastic temper and full of jokes ( happen to know that because of the long conversations we had during our Bulletstorm-time together ;) )
Like Mmosu allready told he guides you to an escape-way but by accident he awakens the big bad computer-girl from the first Portal.
The graphics are stunning: I recently started Crysis 2 and was stunned there by the graphic details, but Portal 2 really is reaching for the #1 game in graphic design. Off Course Crysis has a truckload of details and the intention to create a 'real world' where Portal 2 focusses on a more simple environment, but the screenshots I allready showed explain how beautiful the represent it.
The great Aperture testing laboratory now is shown more like one entire computer. Everything moves and collapses as the big bad brain is 'reconfiguring' the testing chambers.
There's a lot more communication in the game, and due to the realistic and spooky surroundings I really try to find myself a friend in this Wheatley-guy.

Oh, and MAN I'm still sexy  :-() :-() :-()

Edit:
Yesterday I did a great slice on the playthorugh and without giving away any clues I sure want to mention a few last thing:
The game is so realistic, that when I jump into the deep, which happens all day in these enormous laboratories, I really feel these jitters in my stomach when falling off a large ramp in a rollercoaster!!!
And then this GlaDOS with her surprizes; she really dissappointed me there.
Andoh, what might can do to a simple robot, poor friend :'(

OK, I can't stand it anymore! I'm going to have to stop reading this thread until my own game comes, or the drool is going to short out my keyboard :-D

Just joking, thanks for your thoughts thus far, chaps :) Can't wait!

OhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoy
OhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoy
OhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoyOhBoy

I went loco with P1 and am looking forward to have my own copy... just reading this post is making me really anxious to try those puzzles again!!

PZ... P1 is the kind of twisting-mind game you either love or drop after the third puzzle... if you manage to go a bit far into the game it'll suck you in so bad you won't stop playing even when you feel absolutely stuck... at first it was kind of a side game to the Half Life series but soon it proved worth of it's own series. P2 should bring back all the atmosphere of the original game plus all improvements the community must've asked during the last years.

Great read guys... can't wait to play it  :-X :-X

 :-D :-X

I've just got started through the beginning chambers and it is so great to see the old place all rundown as mmosu mentioned.  I'm very glad I played the first before this one.  Right now I know I have a much deeper appreciation for what's going on.. and yes, for GLaDOS herself,  "you monster"

 :-D He's baaa-aaaack!

After a five-minute install and a one-hour update from Steam ( >:(( ), I'm finally in!

So far, it was worth the wait! :-X The intro sequence was a hoot. Binnatics did a great job of describing it so I won't go over it again. I've puzzled my way through the wreckage of the test environments and have just fallen afoul of the reawakened GLaDOS. She's certainly out to get her own back... The dialogue is hilarious, both from her and my chatty little portable robotic eyeball and part-time helper, Wheatly.

Favourite line so far, from GLaDOS: "You and I both said a lot of things you're going to regret!"

The graphics and sounds are fantastic and the puzzles to come look set to become downright fiendish. At this point in the game, GLaDOS' halting efforts to rebuild herself and reconfigure the environment promise to evolve into something quite nasty later on...

Valve have done a terrific job with this. I had to take a breather to briefly report here and to steel myself for whatever GLaDOS is going to throw at me next.

OK (phew) - once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more...

excellent.  glad to hear another Portal fan enjoying this awesome game! 

Back again. Man, this game is AWESOME!!!

I had trouble tearing myself away from it, I'm still not finished yet. It seems to be a somewhat bigger affair than the original. I won't give anything away, but it follows a similar pattern to Portal 1 - puzzles, some of which are pretty tough, followed by some twists (more than one this time). Some of the non-test-chamber puzzles are very cleverly conceived. And the game's funny as hell, I haven't laughed this much in a game ever. 'Nuff said, I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but just let me say that in the later stages of the game (at least I think they're later stages, I have no idea how much more there is from where I am now) there is some amazing level design featuring some jaw-dropping structures.

Here's a few screenies:

[smg id=3210 align=center width=400]

Me, looking hot (eat your heart out, Lara)

[smg id=3211 align=center width=400]

Some whopping structures

[smg id=3212 align=center width=400]
[smg id=3213 align=center width=400]

Fantastic game, I'm enjoying it immensely :-D

Portal fans should be all over this one :-X :-X :-X

I am at these whopping structures now!!! Damn, so big in there. Funny to see how Portal is moving it's tchnology to the outside of chamber-testing. I'm just too curious waht will follow  :-D

you're smokin' fragger!  yum  :)

nice shots there.  I hope to continue my testing tonight.

You can look but don't touch, boy!

Happy testing :-D

sorry but it hasn't been answered yet..

Oh sorry Art, I red it but forgot... It doesn't I guess, but I use ctrl-prtscn and then paste the image in Paint. Works great, long live Paint for the moment ;)

Finally.... pumpstation ALPHA....

Edit: Did I just mentioned I "Finally reached" Pumpstation APLHA? Look at this....
[smg id=3214 width=500]

thanks for the reply :) Most games these days don't allow PRNTSCR captures, so it is nice to know that Portal2 at least allows that to get a screenshot.

If you get irfanView (freeware) then you'll be able to paste it and, other than paint, save it as jpg (among a lot of different formats) and even change the quality and resize it. :)

By the way, about time you get a widescreen monitor.. hehe :-()

The waiting is for the tax-refund  :-\

You know... Portal 1 was just a test. Do they like this style? .....Yes? Well, here is the real deal then: Portal 2!!!!!!

Is this allowed?

PORTAL 2:  SECOND IMPRESSIONS
Well, I'm doing it anyway  :-D

Not all the way through yet, so I don't feel like I can yet do "final thoughts", but I can't wait until the end either!  As some of the other guys are hinting, there are some big twists and surprises in the story, and one big double cross that blindsides you and sends an already high-flying plot rocketing straight through the upper stratosphere and lands it on an upside-down world where there's no way to predict what could happen next.  Suffice to say we are WAY outside the box right now.
The longer I play, the more I become aware of just how much of a masterpiece this game is.  It looks fantastic, it plays like greased lightning, and it has one of the most well thought-out presentations I've ever seen.  No hitches, glitches or snags – just fantastic visuals and sounds all the way, a superbly enjoyable experience  :-X
Let's get objective:  there are multiple, drastic shifts that occur and completely alter the feel the game from playfully humorous, to a much darker feel (yet still humorous, in a slightly more twisted way) and back again.  Sound is used very effectively, and ranges from the ambient creeks and groans being emitted by the aging Aperture Science facility, to dramatic and sweeping orchestral pieces, to pounding synth beats when you're progressing toward the solution to a big puzzle.  There are lots of liquid and particle effects that may be better than anything I've ever seen on console - it even gives Killzone 3 a run for it's money!  One thing I always use to gauge the graphical quality of a game is whether or not the water looks real.  I'm a good part of the way through the SP campaign, and I can honestly say that I'm having trouble remembering a game with more realistic looking water than this!  The jury is technically still out, but all things considered, this is one of, if not the best game I've ever played – no kidding  8)

Allow me - F5 takes a screenshot :)

For those playing, the screenshots are stored in:

<drive letter>:ProgramFiles/Steam/steamapps/common/portal 2/portal2/screenshots

I agree mmosu, this game looks and sounds fantastic :-X And yes, the best-looking water I've seen to date. It looks positively wet :-()

It's a rollicking ride! Just when you think you're near the end, you get gobsmacked into a whole new arena. The atmosphere and the underlying threat of unanticipated nastiness is quite palpable at times.

And smooth as silk, no frame drops, no glitches - and on my aging rig, running the game full widescreen at 1920x1080 res, that's saying something. Just goes to show, superb graphics need not be chip-crippling 8)

This is definitely going to warrant a replay or six, just for the look of it and the laughs :-D

Man, how wrong was I? :-[ "Later stages" of the game indeed, I don't think I was even halfway through it when I said that! This game is huge, definitely way bigger than #1.

There are some very tough areas, and some of the puzzles are brilliant and diabolical, with much lateral thinking required. Sometimes it's a case of "Of course, why didn't I think of that before!" followed by a slap on the head, other times it's "OK, now how the hell do I get to there?" I'm at one of those points now actually, hopelessly stuck...

Some of the locations are vertically gigantic. Not a good game to play if you suffer from vertigo - sometimes I look back down from a place I've reached and the ground is a long, long way away... The size of some of the play areas is very impressive.

There's a great subplot emerging concerning the origins of GLaDOS, and the recorded comments of "Cave" Johnson, the now long-dead CEO of Aperture, are hilarious. Turns out this outfit has been operating in secret since the late 40s and I'm currently making my way through the crumbling original complex, which is a vast series of truly enormous abandoned structures, in some cases with offices full of 60s-era computers and hardware. An older Aperture logo is visible around the place which also has an antiquated look to it. Superb level design, I can't get over it.

It's a stunning game in all respects :-X Now if I can just figure out how to get up to that bloody catwalk...

Still stuck - there's got to be cause for a head-slap around here somewhere...

I'm going to take a stab at where your at fragger.  In the first bit of the old Aperture facility you need to get to a broken bit of catwalk. across is more catwalk with an angled bit of roof.  you need to fall down the elevator shaft with a portal at the bottom and fly out of the angled roof part to that bit of catwalk and door.

That may not be where your at, but it sounded familiar.

Just loving this game.  Cave's recordings are priceless.

Thanks, fragger ("F5") :)

About Portal/Portal2: From my position it's like this:

Games I've played have been combat or race related. There were usually opponents I could either beat up or shoot dead or beat them on a track racing. The exception to that, having to progress using "chat" have been FPSRPG like Oblivion, Stalker, MassEffect(1), AlphaProtocol and maybe HalfLife(1) which is a predecessor of sorts with regards to Portal if I'm not mistaken, yet they all had combat at their core. As soon as games involved puzzles I felt the urge to rather blow that door up than to find out how to pick that lock. Lock-picking, well, was ok, but I remember other games now, IndianaJones, LeisureSuitLarry, DayOfTheTentacle -- in those games I needed to gather bits and pieces to knit together to solve riddles or puzzles; these were called "adventure games." I lost interest in those long ago.

Now I keep hearing you guys how you enjoy meandering around in that level design of Portal2 and how cool the story is and how great the graphics are but the general idea of the game, "find a way through a 3D maze" doesn't really appeal to me. Like Mirror'sEdge which definitely was unique and all but it didn't appeal to me to run through a maze of small bars and rooftops at a dizzying height (no vertigo problem here, though).

Although I'd like to see that water and hear the sounds and enjoy witty comments of little helpers with a British accent, I still don't think it would be a good idea to buy that game just  to see and hear, to see it all I'd have to play it. I like the general idea of playing coop and mastering situations together in such an environment, but I still don't feel the slightest interest in really going in.  :-\\

I get where you're coming from Art,  these puzzles though involve being catapulted through the air, avoided turret fire, etc.  It's really like nothing else.  This wasn't even on my radar 2 months ago, but a spot opened up in my "schedule" lol and I rented the first, loved it and was enticed by an excellent $20 off deal at Amazon.  Now I am so happy I got into "thinking with portals".

If there's a cheap way for you to play the first (Steam has it for $10) then I'd say try it out.

Thing is, I am quite busy with TDU2, open world game with free roam, races, multiplayer community, and with the casino dlc there is yet another dimension to it, particularly playing poker tournaments against other human players and afterwards we meet for a cruise into sunset or sunrise in Ibiza or Oahu..  ;)

I understand how you feel Art, one man's meat and all that :) I'm not about to try and talk you into something you're not interested in. But I would like to say that these games aren't like any other puzzle games out there. "Puzzle solving" isn't really an adequate expression to describe what the game's about and what's involved.

But anyway - I finished! Btw space, that wasn't where I was stuck, although I was stuck there at the time for a bit. It was quite a ways further on, and as expected, a slap on the head followed the discovery of the solution :-()

I have to say, the finale is tough, but the post-finale goings-on are a riot! I urge those playing to watch the final scenes and the credits all the way through until you get back to the main menu, it's a scream :-D

Wonderful fun, MUCH bigger than expected, hugely immersive, and possibly the most fun I've had with a game for quite a while. I'll definitely be giving it a few more plays :)

:-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

I'm so looking forward to getting back to the game!  I've only just done a couple chambers with the repulsion gel.  I like the sign saying it was originally formulated as a dietary supplement that makes what you ate bounce off your stomach linings and out of your mouth.   ^+-+

 ^+-+

They've come up with some terrific innovations in this one :-X

Good w@&k fragger  :-X  I'm just a little bit behind you right now, but I'll take your advice when those credits finally roll!

Damn yeah!!! I remember that part. Ain't it just before you enter the 'Pumpstation Alpha'? Damn I was glad when I got there!!! But then.... This game keeps surprising me all the time... wait, I should read the rest of the posts first... and then go on playing  ;)

This game is a masterpiece  :o

Well I finished SP last night - fantastic boss fight, ironic twist on the ending to Portal 1, and oh yeah . . . moon rocks, who would have thought!  ^+-+

Way to go, mmosu :)

I won't give anything away for those still playing, or yet to play. But I love what happens after you've clobbered the boss. It's the part where you place your final portal and the consequences of it. That was brilliant, both in concept and in the way it looked :-X

I'm not sure how far I have to go but I'm currently working through Wheatly's tests.  I kind of like getting back to the test facility, some of the back areas and old facility gave my neck a good crink in it looking up!

 ^+-+

@ space:   ^+-+

@ fragger:  my jaw dropped open when it happened, and that's about all I can say until everyone else finishes  ;)  It was one of the coolest, most creative things I've ever seen  8)

 :-X

I wasn't sure what to do for a moment there, but then it clicked - I did it and WHOA! :o

When I realized I couldn't move I thought "ok, I must be able to see the answer from here".  Suddenly some of the Cave Johnson recordings from earlier flashed through my mind and my brain screamed "THAT'S IT!!"  I pulled the trigger and the rest is history . . . ok, we're saying too much  ^+-+

Today I was in a shop that had Portal2 on the shelf.. I picked it up, read it, and put it back.  :-()

... it's just a matter of time now  ;D

Baby steps Art, it's ok these things take time  ;)  :-X

[subliminal message]Art Blade you WILL play this game[/subliminal message]

it's funny Art,  after reading your response I went over to my copy and read the box - I didn't want to play it much either!!!  It isn't the most engaging marketing on the back of that box.  It does a bad job giving the feeling for this game.  Do yourself a favor and play the first game for cheap, you only need a couple hours literally- only then will you know if you want to play this game.

guys, it is hilarious to watch you make a combined effort to persuade me  :)

It is more likely that you succeed in teaching a cow how to scuba-dive than to have me play that game, though  :-D

 ^+-+

We`re working on it  ;D

 ^+-+ ^+-+ ^+-+

Where in the world did you find that, JRD? ???

OH MY GOODNESS!!  ^+-+ ^+-+ ^+-+ ^+-+ ^+-+

JRD, that earned you a thumbs-up  ^+-+ :-X

perfect JRD!  that was perfect!  :-X

That was an epic comeback JRD   :bow, like Art said that deserves some kudos

"epic" is not even beginning to describe what JRD just did, it is one of the most unexpected and funniest things I've come across in a long time. I'm still laughing and shaking my head at that  ^+-+ :-X

That earned you a new title, JRD.. I confess.. it was too tempting.  >:D

Scuba-Moo, the Moooooderator  ;D

Nice JRD  :-X
The best part is, if you look at the search results, he had to choose which scuba-diving cow picture he wanted to use  ^+-+

you have to be very careful these days with what you're saying..  :-()

 ^+-+ ^+-+ ^+-+

Thumps up for the Scuba Mooo  :-X :-X :-X :)

it was worth every credit  :-()

Now this whole shop thing makes sense!  :-D

I do believe so, yes :-()

Well guys,

One week after the official release-date I think it's time to make up the score, since I promissed to reward the best 'first impressions' with 100 credits.

So I read through the entire topic again, and I realized we've had so much fun!!!! I think the biggest reward was all the reading and writing to all of us!

But coming to the point of actually choosing the best 'first impressions' I made my choice:

Quote from: mmosu on April 19, 2011, 11:10:41 AM

PORTAL 2 FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
This game is so slick, so smooth, so polished, that it's going to be extremely difficult to write anything concise and to the point so that I don't drone on for pages and pages with everyone reading it losing interest somewhere in the middle. 

What you mentioned there, Mmosu, was maybe too modest: You wrote an excellent review. Talking about the facts, the humor, the joy, the graphics AND the rest in such a small text was just great to read!!!
I also enjoyed your "PORTAL 2 SECOND IMPRESSIONS" and I'm glad you took the freedom to write it down!

So, the 100 credits are hereby yours!!!! Congrats!!! And thanx a lot to all the others who made this treat a succes!!!!  :-X  :-X

But, since we've had some fun trying to convince Art in joining Portal 2, I thought we should have an extra price for the best try so far, and I'm sure none will disagree that Scuba Moo earn that one definitely!!! Here's 50 credits!!! Cheers!  :-X :-X

Now go back testing you lab rats   :-() :-() :-()

Excellent, good choice of 1st and 2nd.

Congrats, guys  :) :-X
