diversity over complexity

Kilroy Hance · 07-15-2010, 11:34 PM

Simply sayed who wants Portal 2 to have more diverse ways to beat a test chamber.

Rather then making them all twitch reflex and timing.

Both! Minus timing....

In the E3 interviews, They said that Portal 2 was about clever puzzles that make you feel smart when you solve them, rather than relying on twitch reflexs and perfect timing.

That makes me very happy.

i didnt watch any videos (only the trailer), i dunno who wheatly is, i dunno what those cores are (these all will be suprises, like the cake, the ending in 2008 when i first played portal1 without any knowledge), but this made me happy!

Yep, agreed. I always hate it when timing comes in to a "brainy" challenge. Same with RPG-s.

Yes, I Think they kind of broke your progression through the puzzles. Especially on the advanced chambers.

You should probably head over to Valve's youtube channel and watch all the videos there. Much information and fun will be had.

What it looks to me, is that there will be learning involved in each and every 'chamber', but by the time we get around to whatever big thing there is, it'll all be practiced enough to go smoothly. They don't rely upon twitch games - that's for modders and challenge levels.

But see, if you're already setting up a desire for one thing over another, worried about how game play will be, the issues are already resolved. It's not going to spoil the game for you, none of the things they show in these things translates directly into the actual game. Really, you can't have it both ways. You're just saying "but I want this" when "this, that or the other thing" is already dealt with. You need to educate yourself about the game, before you go asking for things or worrying about what might or might not be there.

OP is asking who wants Portal 2 to have more diverse test chambers, which they are, we can tell from the interviews and videos. That just makes this thread redundant and useless.

joe_of_bree · 07-17-2010, 11:40 AM

I want both

reameesh · 07-17-2010, 12:21 PM

I want cake.

skinlo · 07-17-2010, 05:15 PM

I was never a major fan of those puzzles with the buttons which you pressed that opened a door for a energy ball to go through.
