    Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give New Paralyzer lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

    I used to have this whole quote on a t-shirt next to a picture of a flaming lemon laugh

    Excellent game, very funny and well written, needs a bit of thought to get through it but nothing too difficult, really good in pretty much every way

    Is it possible to unlock all co-op and online achievements single player?

    Moving two players by yourself will be incredibly difficult. I can't remember all the co-op stages but I wouldn't attempt to play this game constantly switching controllers

    It might be a bridge too far especially since I want to do Kingdom Come: Deliverance for two of February’s targets.

    Thats how i do most Co-op achievements. Usually co-op achievements are easy with 2 controllers

    Unfortunately Co-op achievements are all i have left in Portal 2

    Yes. I’ve played a number of co-op games manipulating two controllers. But, looking at the achievements here, I don’t see a way forward. I played Portal 1 back in the Orange box so I think I understand the concept.

    Gave it a try and I got the High Five achievement at least. laugh

    Maybe I'll attempt the rest inbetween Alphabet Bingo

    Someone i know did all of the co-op achievements on his own with two controllers so it is theoretically possible, in that the achievements will unlock with both players on the same console, but he tells me it's incredibly difficult and not worth the effort it took, and that's coming from someone extremely skilled, so make of that what you will. I certainly wouldn't be bothering with it

    They really need to do a prequel. I’d love to see Cave Johnson and Caroline as interactive characters as opposed to audio recordings. Maybe an achievement for dropping Caroline in a portal. :)

    This campaign took everything from portal 1 and turned it up to 11 as far as i was concerned and makes me real sad that we have never gotten a portal 3 but i know how much valve hate that number!

    Portal 2 was an amazing experience and a well made successor to the rather short Portal, which felt more like a tech demo where Valve just wanted to scoop out if there is a market for such kind of games.

    Story, puzzles, humor - every single aspect was a major improvement to the first game.

    Before this month i only played portal 1 and portal 2 - coop, so i had the feeling it is just a row of testing chambers with some humorous comment.

    Now when playing portal 2 I'm surprised there is quite a lot more "off-rooming" than i expected and i have now a better understanding why this game is praised so much. The walkthrough is contrary to the usual WTs on this site is more a roadmap, but It is very rewarding to find the solutions by one self.

    Protip: Usually the solution is like: ok when i reach this new spot, where can i now place portals i couldn't place before? Can i pass anything through? ;)

    I played the first game as part of The Orange Box. Whereas the game may have been short, the entire collection was quite substantial--the entire title had a whopping 99 achievements.

    This was such a fun game. Probably the last one my wife and I played together. I'd love them to make a Portal 3 at some point but, ya know, Valve and the third game...
