Portal 2 Megathread Mark VIII - Fuck Compwhizii Edition

[QUOTE=Contag;29298178]Why don't you buy some cheap headphones?
Motherboard sound fried itself?[/QUOTE]

My headphones are just fine. The problem is, that when not using -nosound, the game horribly sutters and I get <10 fps. All sounds are also horribly deformed and kchhhrrrr kchrrr kchrhrhhrh.

[Contag]

[sp] The rubble obviously isn't going to still be there, after 200 or however many years[/sp]

Obvious response, but installed latest drivers?

[QUOTE=arachnidsGrip;29298182]Just completed it.
[sp]Brilliant ending. But on the surface was a corn field? In the first game the surface was a (rubble strewn) compound. And does this mean the whole tropical forest overrunning the facility at the start of the game was somehow faked? I thought absolutely forever had passed? Is it just wild corn and there's just... Nothing left but a fake shed?[/sp][/QUOTE]

[sp]1) Different area
2) Potato[/sp]

[Contag]

And change the audio between hardware and software?

[kuhbwekduhbweco]

Yeah, I did.. My PC is awful, though and can't handle so much sounds at the same time apparently.. I wish I could let only dialogue and music play. Not givin' shit about the rest.

[Assburgers]

Finished. I loved the ending. Took me 8 hours because I took an hour on 2 chambers which I got really stuck on.

[QUOTE=Dj-J3;29297969]Always been like that, except you didn't see the loading screen.[/QUOTE]

that's not the point. it drives the player away from the experience when it does that. the game doesn't feel as fluid as portal 1 does in this respect, because every time I finish a chamber it goes back to a loading screen that reminds me i'm playing a videogame and have to wait. immersion breaks, hurts the game. they should remove them.

[Spetzaz]

That was the most satisfying game I have ever played.
Dat ending.

[booster]

I'm looking for a Swedish / Finnish swedish Co-op buddy. With a mic.

excuse me what?

[QUOTE=Giraffen93;29298225][sp]The facility is enourmous, you don't think there's atleast 2 exits? :v:[/sp][/QUOTE]

[sp]That's what I thought. If you look back, Wheatley's lair feels like it's MILES away from GLaDOS' original chamber.[/sp]

[Zyx]

First play through: Normal pace.
second play through: Wait a few minutes every time someone talks to hear all the dialog.

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;29297882]I can't believe valve added loading screens between maps honestly[/QUOTE]

Agreed. Sure, there were nice touches, such as the Aperture Science logo changing throughout the game, but I, by far, prefer just "Loading..." across the screen with no interruption. It was also a part of what amazed people with Half-Life 1, you were never pulled out of the experience.

And I also prefer the HL2-esque menu.

[Contag]

[QUOTE=JurajIsNotPirat;29298279]excuse me what?[/QUOTE]

Ah, damn. Portal 2 doesn't have the option. I had the exact same thing happen to me in another game a while back, and it was because the audio emulation was running software (iirc).

[notgeogzm]

Just bought it, downloading at a measly speed

[Y'all.]

I love the menu, actually.
I don't see anything wrong with it.

[G-Strogg]

I don't know if anyone noticed this, but I wonder if this was unintentional or intentional

Ps: Look at the name of the taunt!

Cannot have been unintentional.

The name of the taunt is "Atlas shrug", and the preview is atlas, shrugging.
I don't understand, what am I missing?

[G-Strogg]

Play bioshock/ read good books.

Gestures not visible when playing with PS3 partner? :saddowns:

[kuhbwekduhbweco]

Even tried using an FPS config to lower my graphics. Didn't improve the sound one bit. Still stuttery and causes the game to run awful.
I am desperate here :smithicide: The game is boring without any sound. If only I could at least have the dialogue..

[arachnidsGrip]

Atlas Shrugged is a famous book. It's obviously a reference.

The name of the book comes from Atlas, who the Greeks (?) believed held the world on his shoulders. So if he shrugged, well...

[LonelyTimeLord]

that was the longest wait of my life...... I started the portal 2 decryption and update at 7.41am... it is now 5.30pm... and I was JUST got to 100%!
FINALLY!

[Zuimzado]

Somehow, right after the first hard bridge test, I stopped getting achievements.

Weird. Let me re-play this.

[The DooD]

Where is the thread for discussing what happened in the game? I just completed it and it was cool as shit. Like my mind is still melting it was really good, best game I've playing in a long time.

For some reason my achievements bugged out on some levels and I didn't get the achievements for doing simple shit that you had to do to get past to level.

[Williamsuger]

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;29297882]I can't believe valve added loading screens between maps honestly[/QUOTE]

yeah, that was the only thing which sucked imo

[Lambda 217]

Weird thing to mention, but did anyone else get a really sweet "3D" effect on the sounds the menu buttons make when you highlight them? Sounded just like the sound was coming from my screen even through my crappy headphones.
