If this video is any indication, Portal 2 is going to end me.

I can picture it now: me sitting furiously in my office, struggling to solve a puzzle after tinkering with every conceivable solution for an hour. Then, making sure my efforts aren't for nothing, I'll refuse to find the answer from an FAQ but will continue wasting time until I collapse of mental exhaustion.

On that happy note, these videos -- there's another one attached after the break -- show us propulsion and repulsion gel. Is it just me, or does the goo look oddly Nickelodeon-esque?

The repulsion gel kind of confuses me. The majority of those surfaces you could shoot Portals onto so what's the point in using it if you can just us portals? Either way, the demo was all right and such but I wish we saw at least a gell that hadn't been mentioned yet. /sigh, expectations.

Looks excellent. As nice as Portal was it was far too easy and far too short. Even the Still Alive version (on the 360) didn't do anything that was remotely taxing. Though I am slightly worried about whether these more complex mechanics will be properly controllable using a control pad, the only difficulties I encountered in the first game were during the trials when precision and some fancy tricks were required, no problem on a PC but horrid on the 360.

As I (and Wikipedia) understand it Valve hired the people that developed it to work on Portal 2

@comradedetroskii:

So you bought both versions...to prove a point? I'm a bit confused. I had no problem on the standard 360 controller. It sounds like you're imagining what something would be like and calling it your own experience, despite it not making any sense.

No, because I liked the game and wanted more of it. Still Alive provided that with new levels and a few nice new achievements ("Into the Blue") for the original. What point would I be trying to prove exactly?

I'm a bit confused. I had no problem on the standard 360 controller.

But I did, maybe you're just better than me dude. Doesn't change the fact that I had problems during some of the more complex trials/medal challenges. Of course that is my problem but I thought that was pretty clear what with me having written it and the use of the word I at numerous point sin my post.

It sounds like you're imagining what something would be like and calling it your own experience, despite it not making any sense.

What? Are you telling me that I hallucinated playing the games. They're on my Gamercard dude.

I see that you have not completed any of the bronze, silver or gold medal achievements on the Orange Box. Either because you didn't bother trying or you couldn't do them, doesn't really matter. Go and give them a shot then we can talk about problems with the control pad. It also makes your "calling it your own experience" statement look perfectly stupid.

Awesome, but I'm still skeptical, due to the original's very short length.

He's probably dicking around with manipulating the goo so that he could set it up in such a way that he Could use it to span the non-shootable walls.

Valve hired the guys working on that game. Now you know.

Also, this is a Freaking First Day Buy!

I trust on Valve like on my father (?) In a really weird way (?)

This game is so GOTY material already; and probably will get the honors unless they like announce the Elder Scrolls 5 or something.
