I am trying to figure out anything that might connect it to the Half Life universe.

[/hide][hide]I thought the same. Both Carolina being GLaDOS (how did she AI-a-fiy herself though?) and the links between Black Mesa and Portal. because they made that reference in the credits of Portal 1 also.

rangeor Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Should I finish the first Portal before playing this one? Or is the story kind of supplementary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingless Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 [hide=Spoilers] Caroline = Cave Johnson's wife.Carolina = [/hide] [hide=Spoilers]Agreed. It makes me wonder though: what is Chell going to do now that she's free? I mean, Aperture is in a dead-end corner of where ever it's set, so how is she going to find civilisation without drowning/starving? Maybe I'm just thinking about it to hard. Oh, and, yeah, GLaDOS being Caroline is quite a story-twist. I managed to spoil myself by listening to the end song that was leaked aaaaages ago, and when she mentioned 'Caroline is in here too... and then she woke me up, so I can live forever' that bit was just playing in my head over and over again, so I honestly thought that Caroline was another test subject that we'd get to meet in P2. GLaD it wasn't my idea, then, because that really sucks to how it actually came out [/ramble] And I thought that Caroline was his daughter/extremely favoured test subject - well, that's what I picked up when I saw she was a test subject in the Boots video. Not sure, though.[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangeor Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Welp I guess that's irrelevant since Gamestop was out of Portal 2 anyways :P Should've preordered it And I only have the trial for Portal 1 ;_; Does it come with Portal 2 or will I still have to buy it?

Wingless Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 You'd have to buy it. It's like £7 on Steam (not sure if that's cheaper than XBLA though), so it's not like it's a lot of money. You could always buy P2 on Steam, they never run out of copies ;3 (unless you actually cannot run P2, even on lowest, then disregard that last part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 [hide=Spoilers]I just did a playthrough with dev commentaries... I'm pretty disappointed in them now. They said that originally, Wheatley had turrets and mash plates, but it was "too punishing" for playtesters. Also they removed the masher plates from most test chambers. And particularly jarring - remember that part where Wheately is like "Aristotle vs... MASHY SPIKE PLATE!". Well guess what. You can shoot either portal at the wall segment, and it will still work. They hard coded it to where if you shot the wrong one (which should normally kill you) it would automatically place a portal for you underneath the beam. Basically they made a ton of changes to the game to cater to people who apparently don't like challenges. *Sigh* Oh well, it was an amazing game anyway. And we always have those talented and sadistic fans to create mind bending puzzles.[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maze Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Finished singleplayer. I was blown away at the ending. [spoiler=Spoilers]I laughed when I realized I had to shoot the moon. I remembered Cave Johnson talking about how that one gel was from moon rocks. Oh yeah, the song at the end kicked ass. It's just as good if not better than Still Alive.

H2PM Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 [hide=Spoilers]Turrets song lyrics, apparently. The lyrics was in Italian. "what a shame, what a shame, I won't see you, bye, good bye. My Friend run, run for so that it won't happen again, if it happens, run, run, friend because I adore you."

DUELMASTER30 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 [hide=Spoilers] Caroline = Free Man.[/hide] Wonder if that was on purpose :P.Knowing Valve it probably was. I have 37/50 achievements on steam now, and I'll probably have them in the next few days. My friend and I are also going to replay it a ton, because we both want to completely memorize the dialogue and exactly what happens. It'll probably take me like 10 playthroughs lol.
