In other news:

I think Portal 2 gives you less freedom than Portal 1 did. Mainly because there are so many black walls in Portal 2, which are the locations you cannot shoot a portal at.

I noticed this as well. Still though, some rooms were HUGE.

Yes. This is even more evident in co-op, where often a particular chamber will have less than 10 portal surfaces to work with. They had very specific ideas on how to solve each chamber, so your solution is highly likely to match their's identically. I guess this is why there weren't many conversion gel tests, and none in co-op.

You just spoiled that for me

I don't see how stating something isn't present in co-op is a spoiler. It's not like I told you about the ending.

The game was even easier because of the fact that not every wall could have a portal on it.

That's my achievement for life.

I should have thought about that! Good Job (Did it work?)

Aww, I love the companion cube!

NO PNEUMATIC DIVERSITY VENTS!!!!!!!!!

I think this game was amazing personally. I found the difficulty a little easier. But the game seemed to take a different approach from Portal 1. (to me) it seemed like they made it so the levels were harder to figure out, but easier to actually do. I was really expecting a bit more difficulty, though. It also felt a little streamlined. I only found 1 alternative solution to a puzzle, and it wasn't that off from the original, nor was it as easy.

QFT...WTTTTTTFFFFF

Yeah, definitely. They appear trickier on the surface, but there is much less in the way of timing or flinging skills required. This actually caused me quite a bit of difficulty in the middle section, where you need to do the old chestnut of putting 2 portals on the floor and falling into one of them, so you end up in an infinite falling cycle, because it wasn't really taught in any of the test chambers like it was in Portal 1.

In fact, the 2 sections in the final chapter where you *must* place a portal or you get killed (by spike plates), you can place either portal in either position and you will still live. They explicitly highlighted this in the developer commentary in the 2nd case, saying that for players who weren't quite sure of which portal they should be using to escape, it would ruin the experience for them to get killed. So they simply ensure what whatever portal you place, will have the desired outcome.

I really enjoy Portal 2 and don't feel the same way as tux.


So yeah, overall, the storyline wasn't anything astounding, but it was good and acceptable

The puzzles were not overly challenging, and I agree it could've been more difficult... But considering the average person-who-goes-online-to-argue-about-games-on-forums' average IQ is pretty shallow, it's probably a safer bet to make it ezier.
Did you know that those idiots on GameTrailer.com already said that the Puzzles required "a lot of trial and error"?
WTF? I hardly had to do that... I mean those guys are considered.. derp.. "professionals"..
Lastly, I find the puzzles enjoyable and fun.. which is probably the most important thing.
