not trying to start a flamewar here, but... you could just play games on a pc, where everything is free, especially games like portal you'll finish and never play again.

just sayin

No thanks.

The singleplayer alone is at least that long. Co-op is supposed to be the same length. So you're looking at a game that's at least 14 hours total.

Assuming you have somebody to play co-op with, that is.

Does it have matchmaking? I haven't checked TBH.

Some interesting info about the Potato ARG and the release of Portal 2 on PC. Apparently, Valve intended to release it for those who pre-ordered on Steam the Friday before the 19th. However, EA stepped in and prevented Valve from doing so. Then Valve went to the secondary countdown that led to unlocking the game only a few hours before it's official release.

Might pick this up sometime this week if the GameStop deal is still going on. I have quite a bit of in-store credit there so why not.

Amazon has it on sale for $35

Hey CB, did you get this via Steam for your computer or did you get on the 360?

I was sold when someone said Steven Merchant.

Steam. I kind of wish I'd gone PS3, but I paid $45 for it, which I felt was a good price. Plus I then spent hours on the Potato ARG. If you get it on PC (or Mac, I think they can interconnect), I'll do the coop with you

The NYU Game Center posted a two hour presentation/lecture/discussion from Erik Wolpaw about Portal 2, Valve's culture and game development. Note: there are spoilers and plot points for the singleplayer portion of the game contained in the video.

I'm seriously wondering how Valve's recent "partnership" with Sony is going to go with this PSN debacle. I can see Valve going back to the "fuck Sony" mantra. I can't say that I would blame them one bit.

The only thing they've really invested in the PS3 up to this point is Steamworks though. As far as I know, there is no plan to go back and release something like Left 4 Dead on the PS3 nor is there a new Valve console release planned anytime soon.

However, if PSN isn't up and running by the time the DLC launches (unlikely IMO) or when the Portal 2 level editor exits its beta phase, I think Valve may start to get irritated.

Anyone up for some co-op?

 

[Twigg4075]

I'm guessing the Steam service through PSN is working?

I think so. I don't think it's required for co-op though unless you want to play with someone on PC/Mac.

EDIT: Yes. Steam does work with the PS3 copy.

Good point. I might be able to play later but for no I need to cut the grass. It rained for about threee straight days and it's supposed to rain all this week. I need to cut this shit before it gets too out of control.

This game is so fucking confusing high.
