To be honest, I don't really know why I bought Portal 2 immediately because I wasn't particularly impressed by the first one. But I bought it, played both the single-player through and the co-op very quickly, and am pretty disappointed that I spent £30 on it because there is essentially nothing to go back to now.

" absolutely not a quality game is a quality game "

Nope. The experience was more than worth the price of admission. 

Beat single player and Coop in about 13 hours.

Pretty happy with that.

" Nope. The experience was more than worth the price of admission.  "

Yeah, kind of. I wasn't a fan of the first Portal and hardly expected the sequel to be amazing, but I still expected it to be better than it was.

Not at all. Loved every second of it, and I don't regret spending 70€ on it.

I absolutely loved Portal 2 but I understand that not every game is for everyone.  I've bought several games which afterwards I didn't understand why anyone would like it.  So don't feel bad if you don't get what all the hype is about.

I understand that when you don't agree with the general opinion of something popular it's a natural instinct to seek out like-minded individuals so you don't feel entirely disconnected, but these sorts of "I didn't like it, is anyone with me?" threads still get old =/

No. Portal is one of the best games I've ever played, and I feel exactly the same about the sequel.

Anyone else in the same boat?

So basically what it comes down to is that people who didn't really like the first Portal (because they have no soul) also don't like Portal 2 that much (again, because they have no soul).  Now I know!

I'm holding out for when it hits the 20$ mark, or at least buy it used for that price. The Portal gameplay isn't meant to last and I refuse to pay for short games.

I think this game alone has one of the best conclusions to a boss fight I have ever seen. I found  some of the regular stuff much harder than the boss fight.

I'm going back for the fight. just to see that again.

And no, game sucked me in.

The game more than justified its price tag.

Was kind of gutted about the length. But that's more to do with I want to play more Portal, than it being a short game.

It was everything I expected it to be. It wasn't as refreshing as the first Portal, and I whizzed past the puzzles which is a little saddening. I enjoyed the game, especially its sense of humour, but it isn't at the caliber of the first one.

Only done the single player so far and I'll still say you're wrong. Awesome game

I was slightly, it was a great game but compared to all the hype it was getting for being the sequel to Portal, it didn't quite live up for me.

" What the ff- £30 is like nearly half the price of a new game. And you can still trade it in. You get loads for trade-ins of new games, I got £25 for McC 3 like a month after it came out. "

My expectations were not extremely high, and as a result I was not disappointed. Sorry to hear you were. And so is Wheatley.

If he could see you again, he would say that he's really, truly sorry.

I loved every second of the single player portion of the game. I haven't started on MP yet, but I will adore it, I'm sure of it.

No I'm in Manchester. Black Ops was like £50 when it came out.

I mean y'know- I never buy games new. I actually got Portal 2 for £35 and was like "oh cool, that's £10 less than I was gonna pay".
You do get like over £20 for trading in new games.

I didn't buy it because it would have no replay value.

It was better than I thought it would be. After all the hype I thought it would end up sucking so... Smiles?

Well if you've got it on PC then that's great, Valve updates tonnes of stuff into their games, and I think they're gonna release the level editor. So there'll be loads of levels out there.

" @JoeMarsden: There are a few secrets to go back to find, I'm sure. Also, I'm not really sure why you expected it to be more difficult. All the product descriptions I've seen say that they've added to the mechanics in a way that makes the game more complex, but not more difficult.  "Advanced use of physics allow for the creation of a whole new range of interesting challenges, producing a larger but not harder game."I think the seven to ten (depending on how much you get stuck) was the perfect length and they added co-op in there to boot. I feel like my money was completely justified when I haven't even touched co-op, although I can see why you could feel differently. If you got it on a console, you can always trade it in and get some of your money back or heck, find a friend to sell it to or trade. Edit: They'll be adding new levels, too, won't they? So you can always go back and get some new puzzles chambers later. "

I was happy to pay full price for one of the best realized worlds in games, paired with hands down some of the most clever writing in games. That's the kind of thing I want to support.
If you want more playtime for your money, I dunno... I think Windows comes with Solitaire.

Not disappointed at all. Valve has managed to deliver yet another very solid game. This game is oozing with the polish, refinement and just overall fun Valve is known for. Beginning to think they are incapable of making a bad game.

Nope, I love everything about it and I haven't even played multiplayer yet.

I will pay for great quality happily every single time. And Portal 2 is of great quality.

I got tired of the humour after a while and the puzzles weren't all that challenging, but there was a lot more variety this time around and the ending was fantastic.

Dudes, play through again with the commentary.

That's entirely worth it.

Apologies. If I'd realised there were enough similar threads to make them a bore, I would not have posted it. It was simple curiosity that lead me to create this thread.

I just expected that at the larger price point, Portal 2 would have more to offer than Portal. In addition, the introductions of gels and such game me promise of a more difficult game. It was indeed more difficult, but only slightly. With the introduction of everything that is Aperture Science and the promise that its universe holds, I had also hoped that the story would be more memorable and perhaps even had a stronger tie in with Half-Life (everything with the Borealis in Episode Two lead me to believe that perhaps there would be). Yes, Portal is a puzzle game and they don't offer much replayability, you're right - but do you not see why people may have expected more?
"

It was kinda short for me but it was an amazing game.  I still have to finish the co-op though and hopefully they'll release more as free dlc.  Plus I paid barely anything for it because it was $5 off instantly from amazon, then they give you $20 credit, and I'm selling back the PS3 version for $30 since I have the Steam copy so I didn't pay much for the game to begin with.

No. I think I like it too much. I wasn't a huge fan of the first either.
