I didn't find the last section all that tough, actually. I needed three attempt there, figuring out what needed to be done (where to find the stuff...), but then it went pretty well. I have hopes now that I can actually finish Portal 2 I almost started up Half-Life 2 when I finishged Portal! Another one on my pile-of-shame...
Once the Playstation Network is back up I would love to play some co-op. I think the stories don't actually overlap, so we wouldn't have to wait till I am done. I am going to be in Japan next week though, starting Saturday, but maybe next weekend? I heard that having a headset is pretty much a requirement, as some puzzle are rather tough to set up. Heck, they give you a timer of some sorts so that you can time certain actions better You mean you haven't seen the robots even in pictures...? Because, at least one of them is on the cover... But I guess you mean you haven't started up co-op at all yet and therefore haven't seen them in the game.
I meant in context, that the endings were tougher than the puzzles. Portal took me a couple of goes on the ending too, but Portal 2 only needed one go. Actually, I got completely stuck for far longer on a previous level that was doing my head in! But the hardest of all was attempting the Smash TV achievement. There are monitors in the later levels and you should bear in mind that you get an achievement for smashing them all (and the reactions are funny). That'll slow you down!
Should I attempt the Smash TV achievement on my first playthrough now...?No headset...? That might make co-op a real tough one in this game. We could still try, of course. Would you be on Steam or PS3? Not sure if text chat would work between Steam and PS3... But several people said that it is needed to communicate in order to solve some of those puzzle mutually.
That being, I'm now replaying Knights of the Old Republic. I even got my good ol' big black box (original XBOX) out to play it (it was too choppy on the 360 - and I hate the controls on PC version).

The game plays better on your older box ?

Imagine putting a Formula 1 engine in a Model T Ford. How long will the chassis hold up at 200mph? Not very, I'm guessing!A clearer example are those emulator programs you can get for the PC that allow you to play classic console games from the Spectrum and SNES days. Normally you have to install a utility that essentially throttles your CPU, because they go so fast it's merely a blur.
CAN. NOT. WAIT.
