Chell, in the rain, enjoying her hard-fought freedom. Something about this is really cathartic for me, it captures a more serious and rewarding tone for the ending of the game than the sillier one they provide. Don't get me wrong though, I loved the ending.
Portal 2
Game » consists of 20 releases. Released Apr 19, 2011
Portal 2 is the sequel to the acclaimed first-person puzzle game, carrying forward its love of mind-bending problems and its reckless disregard for the space-time continuum.
A parting gift to those that finished Portal 2 (minor spoiler)

" Cute, but I thought he died 2 years ago... "Love can overcome death.
Needless to say this is an extremely beautiful addition to the ending, Wolpaw's cynical writing be damned.
That would have worked for me to stare and listen to during the end credits. Beautiful.
Also, made a great wallpaper. Good summer theme. ^_^

Sigh ;_; This song (+rain) makes me so sad.
That was incredible.
Though, I got the same feeling from the swelling opera as you raced up to the entrance, and the sudden quiet as it opened into the field.
If the final shot had been something like this, instead of the song reminiscent of the first game, it would have worked better. Slightly melancholy, but an uplifting quality to it.
Actually reminds me of the credit sequence of Spirited Away, a little.
