Portal 2 Megathread Mark VIII - Fuck Compwhizii Edition

[Political Gamer]

[QUOTE=Ezhik;29301938]So where's that [sp]Borealis[/sp] thing that's apparently in Portal 2?[/QUOTE][sp]Its early on in the Cave Johnson section hidden away. Its not the ship itself, just a dock.[/sp]

[Lordgeorge16]

[QUOTE=Ezhik;29301988]Hell no. This game looks fucking amazing. And it's actually better optimized than L4D series.
My only graphics complaint is those shit looking cubes that you can see in some of those [sp]messed up elevators[/sp][/QUOTE]
My only graphical complaint is that the gels cause a number of framerate issues when they're coming out of the vents or floating through the air from an Excursion Funnel.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;29302028]I really hope that Portal 2 engine isn't a different fork, because all those improvements are so amazing.[/QUOTE]

it is but all the improvements go in the trunk code so it's ok.

[ElectronicG19]

The Borealis thing is fuckin' [i]neat[/i]. It's the first mention of Ep3 related content we've had in a while, with the ARG still ongoing, I'm honestly expecting some sort of Ep3 announcement here.

If the ARG is related to Super 8 I will cry.

Destruction looks bad? Are we playing the same game?[/QUOTE]

Walls don't crumble like potato chips.

Also what's with the Super 8 thing. Valve stop being sellouts.

I think it will lead to an announcement that Episode Three will be unveiled at E3 or some other video game thingy. I seriously do.

[QUOTE=nikomo;29301812]we do need that help thread craptasket this thread sucks and is filled with retarded images that you post[/QUOTE]

I'm not going to have 5 threads about the same game

or even threads that have simple discussion about the game outside of the MEGATHREAD!

[.Omo]

Anyone know where the Portrait of a Lady achievement is gotten?

[Zombii]

[QUOTE=Omolong;29302125]Anyone know where the Portrait of a Lady achievement is gotten?[/QUOTE]

[sp]There's a portrait of Cave Johnson and Caroline in the Cave Johnson section somewhere, in the second, I think. It's inside a small office near the end of the level.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Omolong;29302125]Anyone know where the Portrait of a Lady achievement is gotten?[/QUOTE]

[sp]One of Cave Johnson's portraits[/sp]

instead you'd rather have one massive clusterfuck of a thread instead of 5 organized ones

Beat it in 4 and a half hours or so.

Was pretty fun, I found it at that "just right" level of challenging. None of the puzzles had me sitting there thinking "What the fuck?" but I had to put my thinking cap on for a few of them.

My favorite funny part:
[sp]When you're on one of those lift collums or whatever they're called and Wheatly is trying to kill you. Right before you get to the end, when the wall breaks apart with blades and Wheatly says something like "SPINNING BLADE TRAP." Had me cracking up.[/sp]

yup

[howling techie]

Portal 2 is great.
Now imagine if if Valve support portal 2 the same amount as they have for tf2. With new maps, possibly even voiced by the characters, regular community map updates, and for free.
That would be brilliant. I know they are going to do bits and pieces of DLC, but if it's the same amount as was made for say L4D, I'll be disappointed.

Having alot of fun with my friend on co-op

Shame about the fucking store being gay. Along with the bitrate.

what game

do you mean the advanced science simulator 2

[Hotline]

[QUOTE=Omolong;29302125]Anyone know where the Portrait of a Lady achievement is gotten?[/QUOTE] After you leave the first propulsion gel test (May not be the first, but it's the one where you need to run along the gel to hit a button on the ceiling), and you're going up the stairs, you can see a blocked off section. If you fire a portal at the wall in the blocked section though, you can go in, and that's where the portrait is.

[Beetle179]

Finished

That was... Amazing

Felt like a lot longer than that. Well, time to start working on co-op and such.

Except for some of the white gel part, argreed.

Also I'm thinking that Ep3 / Valve's next story based game WILL be longer. With Portal 2 they actually had to think about the puzzles and stuff, where as Valve's action FPS just have quick 2 second physics puzzles. So yeah hopefully Ep3 will be like 20 hours and come with ... deathmatch or TF3 or hats.

Ending was amazing.
[sp]SPAAAAAAAAACCCEEEEEEEE[/sp]

[itzpanda]

Lol, [sp] GLaDOS turned into a potato, and asked me "How are you holding up? I'm a potato!"[/sp] I fucking laughed for a long time after that, did anyone else?

[DarkwindLeaf]

[QUOTE=MiX-A;29301987]Where are the music files?
I couldn't find them in the GCFs.[/QUOTE]

Just decided to start looking for it, got it now. It's under Steam\steamapps\common\portal 2\portal2, then open "pak01_dir.vpk" with GCFScape. Music files are under sound\music.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;29302115][sp]So, how are you holding up?
BECAUSE I'M A POTATO[/sp][/QUOTE]

I laughed heartily at that.

Also, I'm stuck at [sp]Pump Station Gamma[/sp]. I'm pretty bad at the stations in general.

Really stuck here, [sp]can anyone explain to me how to get to the door that says 'Alpha'? Or am I supposed to even do that?[/sp]

[Fatfatfatty]

The part that hade me laughing the most is when [sp]you and wheatley are in the control room for the turret quality check and he tells you he's gonna hack the door, when he asks you to turn around you hear glass breaking and when you look back you see the window to the door being smashed and you can pop a portal in there.[/sp]

That almost had me in tears of laughter.

Found this in Chamber 17

Follow the arrows for the first 3 pictures, and if you put your backs against the two paintings marked with targets, you can hear a voice muttering something. I can't exactly make out what it's saying though. Another thing is, if you have Developer commentary on, press the Speech node and you hear Modem sounds coming from someone named Adam Foster.
Anyone know anything about this and could investigate further?
