Portal 2 Megathread Mark VIII - Fuck Compwhizii Edition

[Skipcast]

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;29298273]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.[/QUOTE]

Good point.

[arachnidsGrip]

I actually didn't mind the loading screens at all. At first they were a bit odd but then when they started changing to reflect the setting I realised they were a lot nicer than a little black box saying 'loading' every time.

2€ for a taunt? You can't get it anywhere else?

[ghiacciato]

That was awesome! When I did what is required to get the "Lunacy" achievement, my thoughts were exactly the achievement's description.

The store, and the whole bot customization is pretty pointless, though. Actually a bit disappointing.

I think playing the game unlocks items for you.

[kuhbwekduhbweco]

Okay, different question. Anyone knows how I could rip out all the sounds except dialogue from the game? That could make it better I guess.

[editline]sad as fuck[/editline]

that's it. I'm at chapter 3 and got nothing out of the game. Not playing again until I fucking fix this shit somehow.
Hopefully.

[Yffulf]

And that's the single player and multiplayer completed. Nothing to do now :(

You can't. I didn't expect Valve to actually ship a game, with all that software included from the beginning, and then charge users for it. Oh well, it doesn't add anything to the game, they aren't forcing you buy it, so I'm fine.

Wait for the barrage of Custom maps.

True, but the option is still there, they are losing my respect item after item.

Also, chell has [sp]pretty good aim if she portaled to the moon landing site. Dang[/sp]

I've been stuck on one part for over an hour now, and it's become ridiculously frustrating and I've no where else to turn.

These pictures [b]may contain spoilers[/b], so don't click on them unless you've nearly finished the game or finished.

[Killuah]

I think loading screens are a good thing here. They emphasize artificial character of the game
After all you are a test subject.

[The DooD]

I know it was kind of obvious already what happened to the Borealis, but I think Portal 2 kind of cements how it got to be where it is.
[sp]My eyes exploded when I found the bay with the life ring with Borealis written on it.[/sp]

[TheVoidDragon]

I thought someone mentioned something about there being [sp]chicken and zombie sounds ingame?[/sp]

[sp]spray propulsion goo all the up to blue goo, put a portal directly infront of you, and one on the angle. and you'll bounce up. IIRC.[/sp]

Why? They still make the greatest games on the market. Buying those (or not buying) additions are the consumers responsibility, not Valve's. Team Fortress 2 showed them that people were willing to spend much, much money on hats, it would be foolish of them as a company not to spread the concept. As long as it stays optional, and has no effect beyond appearance.

It's a shame we can't pick bots :saddowns:

[MrParalegal]

I dont know if am late but did [sp]anyone else spot Ratman behind all the turrets while going up in the elevator at the ending? If you look at the right, you can see him sneak behind them, then later on you can see his shadow on the wall, he stops, looks around, steps forward, looks around again and so on[/sp]

[sp] so third game playing one of the cyrogenically frozen humans or what?[/sp]

[sp]There is no angle, that's why I can't spray anything anywhere.[/sp]

[MILKE]

[kuhbwekduhbweco]

Um, how do I can I find the path for all the sounds ingame? I'm gonna try to replace every single one except dialogue with an empty .wav

opening the .vpks in GCFscape just shows an empty archive

[QUOTE=Pridit;29298612][sp]There is no angle, that's why I can't spray anything anywhere.[/sp][/QUOTE]

[sp] first put a portal on the bottom of the red spray, then one on the vertical wall you painted white in the picture. It will spray out and give you a nice runway to gain speed. Then remove the portal at the bottom of the red spray, and play it on the 45 degree angle (it's rounded, but you can still stick a portal on it) above the other portal. You run up, jump into the portal, and fly out the other one, into the area you need to get to[/sp]

I think they're packed into .vpk files, like L4D2. You'd have to open the .vpk files with a program, the L4D2 ones probably work here, and find all the sound names. They're in the "sound" directory. Replacing all sounds is a leeengthy process.
