That's out? And I still haven't done the original co-op campaign.

Me neither. PSN went down just after I finished the main game, and I didn't even get a chance to register the Steam version before then, so by the time I was able to play the co-op campaign I forgot about it.

It's really quite... short.

It's really quite... free.

Less glibly, Portal has always been quality over quantity, and I think these are some of the best puzzles, and some of the best GlaDOS lines yet.

A microphone is pretty much mandatory to get through the co-op campaign with somebody, right?

Norondor · « **Reply #145 on:** October 06, 2011, 05:25:44 PM »

not really, there's a context-sensitive "HEY STUPID LOOK AT THIS/MAKE A PORTAL/STAND ON THIS" button on F and you can use Tab to see what your partner sees.

You can also tap T and chat.

Welp, looks like there's a bug they introduced at some point since launch where you can't put portals on moving panels. The devs seem aware of it and I guess I'll just have to wait till it's fixed to get past the neurotoxin generator.

Game is just delightful so far, however.

SHUT UP BAL, I--

Oh. Sorry. I heard that a lot.

Norondor · « **Reply #149 on:** October 07, 2011, 03:22:43 PM »

haha, when i was doing them with Endril we'd both just mutually boggle at the puzzle presented to us, with me frequently annoying him by directing thermal discouragement beams into his face, until we both got the solution instantly.

Ziiro · « **Reply #150 on:** October 07, 2011, 04:47:22 PM »

In all honesty I wasn't full retard all the time. Just enough of the time to piss Bal off on a regular basis.

Although with the DLC stuff the solve rate was about 40/60!

Yeah I played through the dlc with zara using nothing but ingame chat and the f-signal

I just got the game and haven't even seen the co-op stuff yet. Let's work something out.

EDIT: You mean the PC version, right?

Yes. Awesome. I'll send you a PM

Me and my Portal Buddy basically either instantly both realized the solution, or would 50/50 as we tried things until something worked or we just froze up in intense concentration, scanning the surroundings.

Then when actually executing the puzzle solution, we would try to get the other guy killed as stealthily as possible. The trick was to be clever, like having a thermal discouragement beam knock somebody off a moving platform: trying to just explode them with a focused beam involved too much time and effort due to the knock-back and gives the victim time to start a tug of war with the cube.

On that note, I need someone to co-op with. All original and new content.

Mothra · « **Reply #158 on:** October 14, 2011, 10:43:20 AM »

Beat this last night. Just an absolute joy, beginning to end. Game of the decade.

Kashan · « **Reply #159 on:** October 16, 2011, 06:38:21 PM »

This game is so great. The co-op stuff is incredible. There were moments during it that I couldn't believe that we'd actually figured out the puzzle, and that's just an amazing feeling. The ending of the dlc stuff is incredible.
