Portal 2 Co-op?

IvanV · Jul 10, 2011, 11:54 AM

Well, I'm a proud Portal 2 owner since last night and I just had a first taste of the co-op and it sure is a different experience from the single player.

So, to get to the point, if anyone is in the mood for some co-op with a newbie, leave a comment or PM me.

I am not sure to get it or wait a bit, is the multiplayer has high replayability or just one run is enough.

I have beat it single player and done ONE of the parts of the multiplayer but would love to do the multiplayer with someone who hasn't done it before

did you get it for Steam, I assume?

Hehe , every copy must be registered on steam anyway.

@Synthesis: Sounds like a plan, my game is on Steam and I should be home most evenings next week.

@Comp Ali: Since each of the players in the co-op solves one half of the puzzle, I guess that a player could switch his "role" for a second playthrough. Other than that, having done just the first couple of intro chambers, I'd say that the replayability is about the same as for the single player. Those first few obviously try to force you to solve them in a certain way to teach the players in what ways they can cooperate; I'd say that it's likely that it would be possible to solve some of the later levels with more than one approach which would make them worth revisiting, but that's just a guess as I haven't really seen them. BTW, all the Portal 2s should be on Steam, but the ne'er-do-wells are infinitely resourceful.

The game put me together with some random guy, he asked if I spoke German, I said no, he disconnected right away; then the game put us right back together. I'm wondering if Valve put GLaDOS in charge of matchmaking.

Still, he didn't disconnect the second time and we actually did pretty good. We managed to free the humans. I'm yet to play the entire course 3 and a good part of course 4 though.
