I heard the first game was free for this weekend. :B
It is an amazing serie ^^ I should still continue Prelude, it has an interesting backstory, but the tests are hard as crap ;__;
I'd like to know, somebody have a theory about the whole Caroline/GLaDOS thing?
I personally think that...
Cave Jonhson said during the incendiary lemon speech that he wanted Caroline to replace him in the "SuperCPU thing" if he died. Some unused line showed that Caroline protested violently, so I guess that why she became a killing machine. :B
When she (GLaDOS) talked about "Deleting Caroline" at the end of P2, she must have been talking about the Human-Feelings she get while she had to help Chell and finally realise she was "her best friend all along", as I'm sure both Caroline and GLaDOS are the same person. :U
Okay, if somebody just understood what I said, I give him a cookie. ಠ_ಠ I feel like I screwed my explanation.

Nope, it kinda makes sense.

I always thought it was some "dual-persona" thing, and that, over time, Caroline was lost in GLaDOS's memory, she regained this as a potato and supposedly deleted Caroline when in her old body, I'll be honest, I disagree, as "Want You Gone" has the following line:
Want You Gone said:
This was sung after she got rid of Chell, and thus, after she supposedly deleted Caroline, however, I could be wrong, GLaDOS is in her normal persona when testing in Co-Op, which is after the single player campaign.

*takes the cookie ta*Arz said:
I somewhat aagree with this theory however there's a couple of odd bits I don't agree on. Firstly, you're saying that Caroline IS GLaDOS, so if GLaDOS deleted "Caroline" then that would mean that she's deleting herself? GLaDOS is far too arrogant to commit suicide (In terms of AI systems that would mean deleting her CPU drive) so it wouldn't seem right to say that she IS Caroline. I do beleive however that Caroline is inside GLaDOS, almost like a back up CPU or a core fitted into her mainframe. GLaD did say when she was a potato that she's been hearing voices all her life (which wouldn't of just been Wheatley the way she was talking, you saw it yourself in the first portal she had 4 cores, aka voices, attached to her).
To sum all that mess up Caroline and GLaDOS are 2 different people, Caroline is just like a core only fitted into GLaDOS internally other than externally.
Cudos to the person that understands this orz.

I thought that GLaDOS was Caroline, through and through. She just changed over time. Not to mention those personality cores that were added to her (the Anger Core seemed like a clever idea).

Well I'll agree with this. I was honestly expecting a lot more out of Portal, especially since it cost $20 for the computer in 2009. I was also expecting more from Portal 2 at its $60 release, and it seemed like a longer, slightly funnier and a bit more in depth version of Portal. Really not worth my money. I didn't even find the puzzles very interesting... I mean Portal 2 could have been made with the same quality in 4-5 months, I'd know.El Dango said:

GLaDOS was the only real reason I got into the games. Her humour and logic where just sheer brilliance. For a robot I sympathise with her a lot, she's gone through a lot, and she has feelings as well, so it's not like she's just shrugging it all off, well maybe she does but she isn't exactly heartless like that.
The puzzles themselves I thought were challenging, they weren't hard but it was annoying when you missed that portal friendly wall here and there. They could've been harder I do admit, but then again i'd like to see you try and think of something harder, maybe portal friendly walls everywhere would've made the rooms harder since you don't know where exactly to plae the portals but apart from that there isn't much you could do with it. I was amazed that Portal 2 managed to bring in more than just shoot portals on the walls and brought in new features such as all the gel.
Money wise it should've been cheaper if you're only in it for the gameplay.
