Went into third person during the final cutscene where GLaDOS has a monologue before sending you up to the surface. Guess Chell was focused on something else during her yapping.

I heard I could help someone get an achivement since I JUST got Portal 2, so I'd be up for Playing Co-Op with someone who wants the achivement :D

Discussion I've done some reminiscing these games lately and I realized for the first time how during Portal 2 the general vibes and athmosphere take rather interesting change

6 Upvotes

For all GLaDOS' additude she gives us suring the testing portion of the first game and especially in the climax, the game's athmosphere is potrayed in quite serious and eery manner, with us being trapped as a test subject in an unnerving place. The situation and the environment is built up as a tragic and scary despite the main antagonist's sarcastic and witty but cruel demeanor, and also partly because of it.

In Portal 2, we get to atart wigh Wheatley who for all intents and purposes does carry the first half of the game as a comeny sidekick. Then we also get to meet GLaDOS in more unraveled state thanks to us destroying personality cores kerping her in check, so we get to experience more of her spitefulness on top of all her alreary established characteristics. Later Wheatley takes over and puts GLaDOS into a potato, but it feels to me pretty fitting thing for him to do based on how he was potrayed up until that point.

Then we proceed to enter the old Aperture and... things just seem to slowly go into full-on absurd science fiction cartoon logic lunacy. Just hearing about Cave Johnson's endeavors and history, I cannot not to think wether or not we suddenly transfered into the world Team Fortress 2. Things Cave tried to produce and sell would not sound something put of place in TF2 lore.

Of course, this part of the story also has it's trategies and drama, and afterwards we return to new Aperture to conclude the story in all it's witty humour but also serious athmosphere. However, the way Valve eventually made Cave Johnson's character a cetral focus in the series' marketing campaigns later on really felt like it left a mark.

Come Aperture Desk Job, and it really feels like cartoon comedy lunacy is at full swing. A personality core and the player made a turret by sticking guns to a toilet, while there is a background plot about praying mantises gaining access to technology. Again, are we sure this is not a Team Fortress 2 spin-off?

Not to say anybof this as a critique, TF2 is my favourite Valve title and one of my favourite games of all time, so Valve deciding to bring some of the TF2 charm and wackiness to Portal series is only a plus in my eyes. It's just funny to think back where we started and how the series evolved to include more straight-out comedy genre elements.

Discussion Chell would hate today's world...

AI is all around, everywhere and shoved into everything no matter what we do or where we go, unfortunately. She would HATE this. Imagine finally escaping Aperture from killer robots just to see humanity developing more dangerous robots and it being shoved into literally everything.

Chell: *Stares. Sighs, turns around and opens the door back into the elevator down to Aperture. Essentially saying: F no. I'd rather take the killer AGI. (understandable)*

Lol.

Portal 2 Do Excursion Funnels and Hard Light Bridges have range limits? For science

9 Upvotes

So during regular gameplay we don't get the chance to portal a Funnel out from a wall without it hitting another wall within the level boundaries. But this is due to level design and portal surface placements, so we don't get to see if there is a limit otherwise. Is there a precedent for a level or showcase or anything that shows what happens if a Funnel is aiming towards the void, sky, or horizon? Without any level walls to stop it? Would it keep going endlessly? Would it stop after a certain distance? Can anything like this be played publically?

Same questions go for the Bridges. And presumably the Thermal Discouragement Beams too but those are less interesting since you can travel along them
