Chell has been in statis for several hundred years while GLaDOS and Aperture Science has fallen into ruin. Now that I've told you everything that the first video will, watch this (if you can be bothered).

I will be getting this game. What are your views on Valve's next game (coming out in late April)?

I already have it paid for, and I'm working the midnight release. I also called dibs on the P-Body and Atlas movie poster. So yeah, I'm pretty pumped. There's not much else to say until its out though.

The Co-op strikes me as absolutely amazing. I watched all of the trailers, and I have to say that Valve have outdone themselves. I'd much rather an awesome puzzle game over another shoot-em-up game. I know that Half Life isn't just another one, but this game is brilliant.

A dilemma attacks my mind: Portal 2 or Achron?

Well, since the two are completely unrelated, and have almost nothing in common, its not much of a dilemma.

Also, I find your assertion that "this game is brilliant" pretty sad. The game isn't out yet. That means that you've already shut off your mind to any possible criticism, which is never a good thing. Sure, it looks good, but there's no way to know if it is or not yet.

Well, that's what I meant, what you said. It looks very good. And I am open to criticism; should it arise I will listen and voice my opinion. I suppose we'll find out come late April, yes?

The dilemma is which one to buy. Probably this.

Get Portal. Achron is still in Beta, and will likely be so for a while. I have a feeling Achron will continue its meandering pace, just like Minecraft. With a game that has as many nuances as Achron, you'd be better off waiting until its as refined as it can get.

Good idea. Either way, neither of them are out yet, bar beta.

Oh hey, this thread's still here. This came out a while ago now. To avoid us plugging the other boards with our dribble about this game, post on this topic to say how cool Valve is. Valve are so cool, right?
Have at it!

Its a good game. There are some awesome plot twists that I never saw coming.

Agreed, like Wheatley doing the stuff that he does.
And GLaDOS turning into a potato. That made me laugh.
It's another hilariously psychopathic game, for sure. There's barely anything I can think of to make it better.
Aside from the ending song, of course.

The potato battery thing was amazing. Completely out of left-field, but still plausible and apt. I also loved seeing the robots in the campaign.

Despite my utter hate for Wheatley himself, I must credit the creators for such an original dimwit. I love the story behind him, but I kinda saw it coming.
Better than the original, dare I say it?

Eh, I don't even know. They had such different circumstances. The first one had the advantage of coming completely out of nowhere and blowing me away. The second one had the benefit of the whole Valve team working on it. It is, however, a nearly perfect sequel. It couldn't have existed without the first one, and the first one is made better in retrospect. If they hadn't already, Valve has now cemented itself as one of my favorite developers of all time. I suggest reading the iPad app called "The Final Days of Portal 2" now that you've finished the game. There's some awesome insight into how they came up with, and executed all of the new ideas. You can find a .pdf of it online.

I haven't even finished it, but
Spoiler for:
the defective turrets part
was the funniest damn thing I've ever seen in a game. I just sat there for a few minute to hear everything, and it was amazing.
But yeah, amazing plot twists, incredibly funny and clever. So far.

edit: oh, also,
Spoiler for:
the turret on the conveyer belt to destruction that says "I'm different!" almost made me literally roll on the floor, laughing.  I saved him, and he was thankful. :)
