Anybody else have one of the biggest cries of their life watching turrents sing? Asking for a friend
I cried the first time as well & still kinda do. Look at the lyrics translated and you'll cry more.
Also, please do react to the extras in the portal 2 menu or do it from a youtube playlist cuz they're gold.
Not really?
I still do, every time...
Oh dude that turret opera followed by the original companion cube was gold and so beautiful to see and experience !
There is an easter egg during a level, where you can hear some turrents practicing another song. That was my favorite part of the game as the song is also very emotional.
Wheatley is so dense, he's got it's own orbit
HAH that was good.
No he does not. The two cores are in a "twin stars" configuration. By selecting one as a point of reference it seems that the other is orbiting it, but it is in fact fully symmetrical.
@@yavoth5850🤓
@@yavoth5850 it's actually a three-body problem with the spectator he's talking directly to
@@yavoth5850 ...Since we're overanalyzing it, thats only because of the point of reference we choose, when in fact the point of reference can be anywhere due to speed being relative TO the point of reference we choose. So, just like our Earth and Moon, by Earth's perspective, it's being orbited by the Moon, by the moon's its the other way around, and by everyone else's they are both dancing with eachother.
Fun fact. When you add the first core to Wheatley, the core corruption goes to 50% because Wheatley is already a corrupted core.
Personally I interpreted it as Space Core being just that crazy
54:25 Fun Fact: In the commentary they mentioned that many players were panicking during this spot and forgetting which portal to shoot and dying. So the devs made it so that no matter which portal you shoot the game automatically changes the other portal to the opposite color. Which is why you didn't fall even though you shot a blue portal.
To be more accurate, therea already 2 portals placed below wheatley even fore you shoot yours
Woah, I never realized that
That|s dumb, remembering where did you put which portal should be big part of the game, and punishment for forgetting that should be fail.
@@radioactiveassassin5218 if you're considering Portal 2 as a simple puzzle game, sure that would be dumb, but a lot more is taken into consideration when making a big budget story-driven game, if a lot of players are failling a specific thing, and one that they should absolutly know by now, chances are that the fault is way more on the level design than the players themselves, so they could either help the players or cut that sequence interely to avoid issues with pacing
Because this annoyed me all through the games, I made a habit of left-trigger first/in/source portal, right-trigger second/out/target portal.
So, moon, right trigger!
That [REDACTED] hits hard, ngl. I like to think it wasn't that she wanted Chell gone and more about wanting Chell to be free.
Crying again.
@@MegMage Her song in Lego Dimensions (which may or may not be canon) suggests she still battles with loneliness in Chell's absence. I like to think that she respects Chell after everything, that Atlas and P-body aren't as much of a computational challenge for her, and that although she deleted Caroline, those aspects of Caroline that rubbed off on her are too enmeshed to be truly deleted. Hence, she feels gratitude and the tiniest inkling of love leading to the big operatic send-off and the [REDACTED]
So, she'll live forever. Testing. And just a bit lonely. Wishing she had someone around who could challenge her and bring risk and an interesting set of data back into her life. And just a bit ashamed, wishing she could unburden her iota of guilt by doing something beyond releasing you and the companion cube
@@ErdTirdMans When GLaDOS sings that Caroline is "in here too", I like to think that she never deleted Caroline at all, and was just pretending to mess with Chell.
@@marauderdz I feel like it was more a defense mechanism than anything. GLaDOS' ego is too big for her to just let someone she's invested so much energy into hating think she's vulnerable.
So the turret song is called "Cara mia addio" and part of the lyrics are "mia bambina, Chell, che la stimo, cara mia addio" ("my child, Chell, who I respect, goodbye my love").
This created many theories that GLaDOS/Caroline is Chell's mom.
@MegMage for my empathy pains as an audience member I feel the need to know you saw this lol, your meditations moved me as a fellow mommy issues haver
It’s also sang by Ellen Mclain (Glados’ voice actress who also happens to be an opera singer)
@@SgtSpeedy perhaps adopted, but it seems GLaDOS does not remember it so after she was put into a potato. If it was the case, I think the communication would have been different. GLaDOS was definitely pretty much Caroline for the 2nd part of the game.
Don’t forget it’s actually meant to be interpreted as a love song! The entire concept of Portal revolves around GLaDOS being the victim of a “toxic” relationship with Chell and despite not wanting to, she has to get rid of her! Cara mi addio means “goodbye my darling” and bambina can also be used as a term of endearment for a significant other.
I love how the lyrics "when I delete you maybe I'll stop feeling so bad" are REDACTED. GLaDOS really sent you away so coldly because she actually does care about you and is coping with the sadness by doing what she always does, being passive aggressive and mean.
I think I remember seeing some people theorize that the field that Chell got sent to was really just another fake room in Aperture, but that idea always bugged me cause it defeats the point of this great game's beautiful ending.
@@caldercockatoo2234 it’s also contradicted by coop campaign in which GLaDOS is exclusively working with the robots. It also just doesn’t make a lick of sense.
"people" will always theorise the stupidest stuff lol
@@yavoth5850 like how Totoro is actually a death god and the whole story is about two little girls who in real life were kidnapped and murdered. Yeah, people like to theorise all kinds of crazy stuff to destroy beautiful things. Hah.
@@UberNoodle that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard
The fact that the game closes itself after Wheatley says "The End" is such a Valve thing to do.
it normally isnt supposed to. its been doing that the last few years. its normally supposed to go right to the main menu but my god, this fits a lot more lmao
well it's a bug lol, but yeah I guess it's kinda fitting.
@@SirPootington That's the best bug I've ever seen, should honestly be implemented as an actual mechanic
@@SirForwyn Nah. It fails to change the Title Screen to Wheatley and Space Core on their fantastic voyage. THAT was the best ending
Thats a bug due to shaders being set to high.
1:26:47
Fun fact, GLaDOS's voice actress is an opera singer, and she's actually also the one who sings the opera part with the turrets on the elevator.
She literally says it in her wrap-up, lol
The joke behind the pink core is that it just spreads misinformation, with the occasional true fact. Some of the "facts" it puts forward are hilarious, you can find the full list online.
Even better is that, all of them orbit wheatly because he is soooo fking dense!
So its just a Reddit core!
Like that the square root of rope is string. That cracked me up.
@@aslanbeats2004 Reddit, X, large tracts of RUclips ...
Reddit is one of the few places where people actually fact check on a regular basis...
"i used to want you dead, but now i only want you gone" you know what that is? growth 😂
No it's defeat.
You're the only other person I've seen hyped to see Dee Bradley Baker's name in the credits. I love that guy.
Oh, I didn't know he was in Portal 2
@@mb2001 Yep, Dee Bradley Baker voiced Atlas and P-Body because he's also pretty well known for doing the noises for speechless characters. As an example, I believe him to be the guy who does Perry the Platypus' famous clicking noises.
@@ryisdapper6800 He also did Appa and Momo in Avatar: The Last Airbender. He's got that Frank Welker talent for creature sounds.
@@Swenglish And Numbuh 4 in KND and the Australian blue fish from Spongebob that calls out Mr. Krabs.
So, when Valve released Portal 2, they released a series of advertisements known as "Aperture Investment Opportunities." They're pretty short, usually less than a minute, but would make a pretty fun encore.
Yes! “60% more bullet per bullet!”
Cave Johnson, We Done Here!
-C.J.
When Portal 2 came out Wheatley won the Best Character award at the VGAs, and Valve made a whole acceptance speech animation with the voice actor back n everything, I definitely recommend checking that out
They didn't win, Joker won for Arkham City. They made the speech in case they won, as did the other nominees.
@@yavoth5850 Ah, forgot that. Thanks!
@@yavoth5850 it's also very wheatly to play it reguardless.
@@yavoth5850 I don't think putting Joker in there was fair, he's such a well-known character from such a wide variety of mediums and interpretations, nobody else stood a chance.
Been looking forward to your reaction to possibly the best video game finale of all time
Glados Cutting the toxic people out of her life,
also,
Glados shoves you and the companion cube out, "Take your garbage and leave",
Chell, "Fine ill go"
Glados, "I wasn't talking to you."
Interestingly enough Portal 2 had a lot of Greek Mythology Easter Eggs. GLaDOS was based off of Prometheus who was cast down into Tartarus (Testing facilities) for brining the gift of knowledge (Science) to humans where he eaten by birds for eternity. Chell is Pandora who released Chaos into the world (i.e. turned GLaDOS back on), and the final scene with the elevator taking her up to the surface while the turrets sing to her is based off of the belief that angles would sing you to Elysium, which in many depictions looks like a field of reeds, just like what Chell sees when she gets to the surface.
first time i've ever seen this theory. Very interesting.
needs more upvotes
Huh. You know that explains why the "I'm different" Turret you save tells you about Prometheus. Makes sense!
The end song "Want You Gone" was written by a man called Jonathan Coulton, who also wrote "Still Alive" for Portal 1. He's a really great musician with a great catalogue of songs.
Re: Your Brains, First Of May, so many fun songs!
Jonathan Coulton did a third song for GLaDOS called "You Wouldn't Know" which was for Lego Dimensions which had GLaDOS in it.
"A perfect breaking up song doesn't exists"
GLaDOS: 1:24:33
At a Q&A panel Ellen McLain said at least as far as she feels, GlaDOS didnt actually delete Caroline. Something I like to believe too since the lyrics of the Turret Song seem too humanly inspired to have been purely by GlaDOS
Probably right ,since GLaDOS (caroline) would want Shell (her daughter) to be free without the urge to come back to save/help her mother. By telling her Caroline is no more Shell is trully set free.
She even thought to give back the companion cube to be sure Shell would not come back for it/him/her.
Chell is the Combine's problem now. GLaDOS is counting on that. Counting on her making a new disaster.
Do we know if she kept the portal gun. Cuz I honestly don't see her accomplishing much without it.
Not even sure if she can get out of that wheat field alive.
@@SgtSpeedy she has that indomitable human spirit, nothing can kill her
@@SgtSpeedyif anything for a fact she took the no fall damage boots but idk about the gun
Imagine how chaotic it would be if Chell met Gordon Freeman.
@@SgtSpeedy insanely good problem solving and improvising. those are very valuable
Your reaction makes total sense! After all the weird insanity, all the absurd humor, all the strange and shocking surprises, the ending manages to achieve some level of batshit transcendence. It feels perfect in its own small, unique way. Thanks for sharing your playthrough! :)
Also, if you wanna have some extra feels, look up a translation of the italian lyrics GlaDos was singing as you ascended to the surface.
The Turret Opera:
Cara bella, cara mia bella! (Beautiful dear, my darling beauty!)
Mia bambina, oh ciel! (My little girl, oh heaven!)[heaven and Chel are pronounced the same in italian]
Che la stima! Che la stima! (How I respect you! How I respect you!)
O cara mia, addio! (Oh my dear, farewell!)
La mia bambina cara, (My dear little girl,)
Perché non passi lontana? (Why not go far away?)
Sì, lontana da Scienza! (Yes, far away from Science!)
Cara, cara mia bambina, (Dear, my beloved little girl,)
Ah, mia bella! (Ah, my beautiful one!)
GLaDOS: "Well, this is the part where he kills us."
Wheatly: "Hello! This is the part where I kill you!"
Chapter title: The Part Where He Kills You.
Song Title: The Part Where He Kills You.
Valve may have been trying to say something. But I don't know what...
Don’t forget the achievement
What i honestly love about her playing this game is that she took ber time observing her surroundings trying so mamy different Permutations of possible solutions and got to the right solution for the propultion gel Test at the start of this video. Also Wheatley's trap is so good because when i first played Portal 2 i was really wanting to go through every one of Wheatley's tests only to get kidnapped to "the part where he Kills You" also i really love how GLaDoS says "this is the part where he kills us" and thrn Wheatley says so politely "hello this is the part where i Kill you" as the Chapter title comes into View as " the part where he kills you as ironic.
Don’t forget that the music that plays is called “The part where he kills you”
@@5223142 plus the achievement "This is the Part Where he Kills You" when you get there
@@5223142 And the steam achievement you unlock that's called "The part where he kills you"
@@5223142 And of course the achievement "The Part Where he kills you" popping up on Steam
@@5223142 And then the achievement on Steam pops up "The part where he kills you"
The moon shot remains one of my favorite jaw drops in games. I watch whole playthroughs just to see the reaction to that one moment.
This game was an important chapter in my life. It feels dumb at first to say a video game had a profound personal meaning to me, but the older I get, the more I see the love and care going into these amazing games and feel happy at the passion it must have taken to make this gem. Thanks for playing and reminding me of my first time with Portal!
in earlier drafts the Space Core became horrified once he started to actually comprehend being in spcae, iirc. Final result is a huge upgrade. Dude is just having the time of his life.
Also the whole existence of the Space Core is hilarious when you consider why the cores exist (the emotion core in 1 was to try and make her more human, the morality core which didn't work was self-explanatory, Wheatley was the intelligence dampening core, etc) because it suggests at some point the engineers' best idea for how to calm down GLaDOS was to just make her have a hyperfixation.
Portal 3, Half Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Team Fortress 3 I don't think we'll ever get a sequel :(
Yes Gabe can't count to 3
imagine if portal 3 and half life 3 becomes one game, with from lore, might actualy happen, half life 3 prety much was announced in half life alyx
I absolutely love how the ending recontextualizes so much of GLaDOS' dialogue earlier in the game. Suddenly, the fact that she kept talking about trying to make Chell immortal when she first woke up even though she canonically already had the co-op robots ready and was just barely gloating about how she's going to outlive you becomes really sad :(
That 2nd chamber, with the 3 turrets and the blue gel is the one that I was stuck on the longest. You picked up the fact that you had to ride back with the gel so quick. I just couldn't figure out the whole "trapping the gel" part!
I have watched maybe 20 something Portal playthroughs over the years, and this is by far the best one I've seen. Your appreciation of the characters and themes was refreshing and amazing to see. Thank you for this wonderful Portal playthrough, and I can't wait to see you play the co-op.
I first played this game in it's entirety when I first reported to Pearl Harbor during my time serving Active Duty Navy. It was my second duty station in my career, and I had just finished a brutal 3.5 years on a ship as my first duty station. It was my first taste of true freedom, and I played this game with one of my best friends. Hearing the ending theme song just floods my brain with memories of that time. I can still see the palm trees, blue sky, endless ocean... Smell the sea air, feel the tropical warmth on my skin during every hour of day or night... Then having my friend walk into the lodge room I was staying in while awaiting housing assignment and we'd just go out to the beach and hang out, talking about the game. Simpler times, happier times... Sigh...
Also i love Wheatley's banter when you're escaping. like "clever very clever..... And Foolish. Spinny blade wall!"and "Holmes vs Moriarty, Aristotle vs Mashy spike plate.
I like to believe GLaDOS lies about deleting Caroline to make Chell believe there is no reason coming back to Aperture Science. Although GLaDos does care and has trouble facing that fact, there would be no life worth living for Chell in the facility.
I know I'm yelling into the void, but also the mainframe that GLaDOs and Wheatley connect to or "GLaDOS' body" seems to bring out the worst parts of whoever is connected. Wheatley became extremely paranoid. And GLaDOS, before she changed, did not care for human life because most likely the apathy that someone would have to have if they worked at Aperture Science.
Fun fact, Meg: Dee Bradley Baker, who you pointed out at 1:26:37, also voices the Gravemind in Halo!
There's a third Jonathan Coulton GLaDos credits song, it was from her appearance in the Lego crossover game.
It's called "you wouldn't know," you can find it on youtube along with some fun cutscenes of her arguing with Batman of all people.
there is some funny dialogue if you come back to Weathley after he asks you to go back to his trap at 46:08 hehe, also, you could react to some of the extras in the main menu of the game, there are some great trailers with Cave Johnson and they are really hilarious to watch! great gameplay Meg, this is truly one of the best videogames I've ever experienced😋
Shooting a Portal on the moon is a reference to the white gel being made of moon rocks.
Also, I don't know why it crashes to the desktop for so many people, but the ending background has Wheatley and Space core.
No shame in crying at the end. Portal 2 is surprisingly sweet for how comedic it is.
if you're paying attention to all his rambling, you can piece together that the incident of failing to catch him at the guard rail (which was of course his own fault but that's besides the point) really was the beginning of Wheatley's spiral, even if it wasn't obvious back then.
Funny side-note: in ‘The Part Where he Kills You’ once you escape from the trap and Wheatley repeatedly asks you to come back - if you do, he professes his surprise that you actually did and then tries to persuade you to jump into the pit
Everytime I see the last 15 min of this game it brings a smile on my face and some small tears.
This game is absolutely perfect and probably the best game ever made.
i love the theory that at the end its based off Greek mythology, where death is described as standing in a field with your best friend being sung to by angels (the companion cube & turrets singing) hinting that Chell did die from the turrets in the elevator
Yo I was just binge watching your whole series on this game and this came out right on time!!
What a great blind run! After you play co-op, there are several free fan-made mods on Steam that are basically games on their own. There’s “Portal Stories: Mel”, “Portal Revolution”, & “Portal Reloaded”.
There’s also “Aperture Tag”, but it costs a few bucks
When you first started Portal would you imagined you'd be crying because Gun Turrets were sing for you.
Portal 2 is one of the best games ever the humor, the story, the music is great and it's ultimately a simple puzzle game but was done beautifully.
This series takes place in the same world as the Half-Life series which is another Valve series the first one being in 1999.
It's a shooter with a much more serious tone but Half-Life 2 is often regarded as one of the best Shooters ever and honestly still hold up very well. But the story has yet to be concluded with a third installment that had been green lit and canceled many times.
I want to see u play the Half Life series, especially Black Mesa
One of the few things I regret in life is that Portal 2 isn't a new game, because if it was EVERYONE WOULD HAVE CRIED LIKE I CRIED YEARS AGO! And I'm really grateful for you to do this, it's just a too much of a beautiful game to be left to rot in the past
GLaDos deleting Caroline always confused me a bit, but I think this has finally given me an interpretation of it.
Hey and Caroline are two halves of the one being, the robot side and the human side. GLaDos deleted Caroline as a way of letting her go, much the same as she then does
for Chell. Caroline is finally at peace now that she's gone, and there is no more internal conflict. GLaDos just wants to test, Caroline just wants to be at peace, and Chell just wants to leave. Everyone is happy...
Except for Wheatley, who has now become a space probe.
Wheatley's voice actor is Stephen Merchant, he's a British (obviously) writer, producer and comedian.
Him and Ricky Gervais used to work a lot together writing shows but I'm not sure they have much contact anymore
Also played the albino mutant in Logan.
@@dlejon1044 and Mr Peter Ian Staker in Hot Fuzz who'd lost his swan, a big plot point in the movie
Also in various gigs, even The Good Place.
In all the sadness regarding the ending, the silver lining is Space Core is living the time of his life
Tbh Wheatley was never really that dumb to begin with. He willing worked at the cryogenics station to keep the humans alive (cut dialogue revels he wasn’t hired, just showed up), helped Chell find the portal gun, broke her from the testing track, and came up with the plan to beat GLaDOS on his own.
He’s just impulsive, doesn’t always see things through, and bottles up his emotions. Negative traits which were only amplified by the chassis. Some of his dialogue while evil is basically just him gaslighting himself into thinking Chell betrayed him.
Plus, he mentioned seeing old recordings of GLaDOS’ boss fight. Imagine accidentally pushing your best friend down a put, then discovering that they mercilessly killed people just like you and utterly destroyed someone who was once in your position. I don’t think he ever really wanted to hurt her deep down. He just couldn’t stop himself.
But, good news. Remember how he was crushed at the beginning of the game? Well, while not revealed in game, he managed to survive by automatically having his mind transfer into an empty backup core. So if he runs out of power in space, he’ll probably just respawn back in Aperture and lay low. This is further suggest because, spoilers for the DLC btw-
Space Core makes a cameo in the credits irrc.
Among all the clones, Dee Bradley Baker also voices:
Perry the Platypus
The Gravemind from Halo
Appa and Momo from ATLA
The Necromorphs from Dead Space
Hammond the Hamster (Overwatch)
Lion (Steven Universe)
Cinnamon Bun (Adventure Time)
Ra's Al Ghul (Batman Arkham City)
Every infected in Left 4 Dead
etc.
I don't remember if I cried or not. But to this day, I will still randomly yell SPAAAAACE! It's even my avatar on Steam.
Wheatley is like the guy trying to hit on Meg and Glados. And I love that Glados has that best-friend energy. Just clearly sick of Wheatley, and trying to get Meg to safety.
You: I really don't wanna cry
Me out loud: Oh, you're *definitely* gonna then
Portal/Portal 2 together is one of the most perfect and beautiful video game experiences there has ever been and I'm so glad you got to go through it. ❤
Portal 2 really is such a special game. It manages to be funny, poignant, and straight up weird and horrifying at times. It was so interesting to hear your insights and thoughts on the game, as so many of them were things I'd never have thought of! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game, and it was a lot of fun experiencing it again with you. Thank you Meg!
If you (or anyone reading this) hold any interest in fan fiction I’ve gotta recommend Blue Sky, written by waffles. It’s one of the crowning jewels of the Portal fan community, amazingly well-written, novel length, and without spoiling much it’s a pretty Wheatley and Chell centered story. He said sorry, sure, but proving it is a whole ‘nother beast.
Never came across your videos before Portal 2. Had a great time watching you enjoy one of my favorite games. It still holds up after all these years. Looking forward to the day I can watch my son play through it.
"Man it is a shame that I cannot play Portal 2 for the first time once more. That one did strange stuff to my insides. Oh. That's right. I can watch Portal 2 through others' eyes for the first time."
I've wanted to watch someone play through Portal 2 AND ENJOY IT the way it's meant to be enjoyed for a long time. I've watched several people play through it and they would talk right through the monologues and dialogues. The writing in this game is a masterpiece. Anything Jay Pinkerton is involved with turns to gold, I swear to god. Thank you for letting us enjoy this game once again with you. Watching someone experience for the first time is the closest we can get to enjoying it for the first time again. I will definitely check out your other videos.
I love watching your reactions to games because they’re really raw and it makes it so much more enjoyable to watch. It feels like you’re so engrossed in every game you play and I think that helps people feel like you also really respect the games that they love so much, so thank you
Your playthroughs were the highlights of my week, and I enjoyed following them. They filled me with excitement whenever I see one getting uploaded. Your playing style and attention to detail was amazing. Thank you. :D
Yes, sad it’s over, but maybe we have co-op, and mods, and Aperture advertisements to look forward too
This was a wonderful playthrough, thank you for sharing everything, including your emotions and afterthoughts each episode! Also excited for you to experience the co-op!
What a beautiful reaction. I cried at the end, which I don't normally do. This is also one of my favorite games, I'm sure you'll enjoy the co-op. Now you can watch the extras without being spoiled, which I highly recommend as soon as possible.
Another awesome playthrough Meg!! The dialogue to this game is some of the best ive ever seen man
you should react to the full dialogue of the corrupted cores its hilarious!
I loved this playthrough so much! I really appreciate how much you emotionally connect with the games you play, Meg. I've seen countless Portal 1/2 playthroughs, but you're the first let's player that actually cried during the end (and with the Rattman comic!). I first played Portal 2 when I was a lot younger and while I already loved it back then, the narrative hits much harder when you're an adult and can easily relate Chell's interactions with GLaDOS and Wheatley to things you go through on your own life (with other family members or friends). And I loved how they kept GLaDOS' "mean" personality even though she obviously started to care about Chell, enough to let her go.
In fact, I'd say she's obviously lying about "wanting to rid herself" of Chell; GLaDOS wants her to be free but she just can't admit it out loud 🥰
Your feelings are so so valid here, I have been thinking about the themes and your story (which I remember from your Star Wars reactions) ever since you started playing Portal 1, and it's been making me re-contextualize the whole game every single episode and deepened my understanding and love for these games tenfold. Heck, every last joke hits differently now. I relate to it a lot more now in similar ways to you too.
Thanks for playing this I enjoyed it so so much, your perspective and thoughtfulness add so much as always 😊
~ Sibyl from the Tower
may i recommend outer wilds? no voice acting but the story is superb, and it has SPACE. also incredible amounts of scifi fun
I second, definitely not a game to play on stream though. Also, if you do play it, it plays best seeing as little as possible about the game beforehand. Even the trailers can show more than is preferred.
Yes! Great sci-if mystery solar system sandbox game!
Binge watched your Portal 1 + 2 series over the last couple days and I wanted to say I really appreciate how invested you were in the story and characters, and how pure you made the experience for yourself by going in completely blind. Having beaten the game multiple times, it doesn’t give me the same feeling it did on my first run, but watching you experience it for the first time helped me see it through those eyes again. I love the ending of this game because it’s overall good, but still leaves some uncertainty about what is happening on the outside. And it really makes you empathize with an evil robot woman 😂
I love watching people go through that journey for their first time, thank you for sharing it all. The puzzles are fun for sure, but it's even better when people really engage with the characters, the insane situations. The themes throughout it are both fascinating and pretty scary too!
What I remember the most of my first time, was the immense feeling of satisfaction and the emotions along that elevator ride up at the end. That Cave and Caroline are Chell's parents is a theory that's been speculated about for a long time in the community, there's no canonical confirmation. But I do think it makes it somewhat more impactful if you take things under that angle. And that the opera song at the end, are a mother's goodbye as she sets her free despite her forced program wanting her to test forever more.
I love Portal and watch a lot of these playthroughs from different creators. Your playthrough, and especially the reaction to the ending, might be THE BEST one I've ever seen. Dropped a follow in Twitch as well! Looking forward to seeing more from you!
Welcome back to "Meg tries every possible hard way to solve the chambers"
This was so fun to watch. As usual my favorite thing about your reactions is your empathy.
Watching you play this last made me smile so much. I needed it after a pretty bad day. Especially when you started rocking out to "the part where he kills you".
Thank you for sharing your experience with one of the best games ever.
For me it was tears as soon as I saw the arm pulling Chell back through the portal and then just every single thing after that
I love how enthralled you were into the story, and how you reacted to even the most minuscule details and instances
Wheatleys dialogue in the final battle is some of the best dialogue in the game imo. It's quite emotional tbh, wish players got to hear it more 😊
One of my favorite playthroughs so far. Although I'll admit it did hurt when you weren't completing some puzzles. Still, watching you slowly start to put them together was oddly satisfying. The ending also got me emotional but only until my second playthrough because that time, I played the game for the story and dialogue and got really immersed. So I don't blame you for getting teary since you seemed well invested ever since the beginning lol. I said it in your first video but I love your reaction to GLaDOS. Well deserved!
Great reaction and playthrough. Thoroughly enjoyed binging your vids. Gonna stick around and see whatelse I been missing from this channel. Best wishes!
P.S - I recommend giving the "A Plague Tale" games a shot if you haven't played them already. They're amazing short story games that are great for a RUclips series. Great storytelling, breathtaking environment and pretty intense.
Honestly great playthrough! I am so happy you enoyed it :)
Finally someone who had a similar reaction to mine, I played the first one as soon as it came out, and you can imagine my reaction when the portal 2 trailer dropped. When I finished it I was a 17 years old boy just sobbing when I finished it some random day after school. Love your content keep it up :)
I'm here for the finale of Portal 2 and as always i wish
You and Caleb a nice Saturday thank y'all.🐕📺📺🐕
Will always love watching peoples first reaction to the end of this amazing game. Makes me feel like what I felt like when I first beat it
Ahh, Portal 2.
A masterpiece of a game and a series, which unfortunately stops here because Valve is allergic to the number 3.
I promised I'd give you my favorite interpretation of Portal at the end, so here it goes.
Tumbler user joy from crimes: "portal 2 is yuri so thoroughly doomed and toxic that the only happy ending either of the women can have is cutting each other off forever …. so basically it’s perfect" (Though, that interpretation does NOT work if you saw GLaDOS as Chell's mom LMAO)
I truly hope you've enjoyed your time with this game as we have watching you experience it. If you want more Portal, there is the Co-Op mode, a spin-off game called Aperture Desk Job, and the Aperture Investment Opportunity shorts on RUclips! There is a vague connection between Portal and the Half-Life series too, but that's largely its own thing.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions to more gems just out there waiting to be discovered. It's been fun, thanks for sharing your playthrough with us, the audience!
This series was so fun to watch! You should definitely do the co-op mode, it's full of glados just being glados and it's amazing.
Really love your reaction, especially to the ending. This is one of those games that still makes me tear up even on repeat plays. I don’t know it’s just the feeling of how every part of it mattered, every part characterized GLaDOS or Wheatley or the world, it all just comes together so beautifully. I imagine it’s intimidating for anyone at Valve to give it another go, this game really is a masterpiece.
So happy seeing you react to the end of the game :) really glad you enjoyed it so much. This game is a masterpiece :)
What a ride!!!! This was the best portal reaction ever, best game reaction ever! Thank you!
Amazing stuff! You did so well in those final puzzles!!
"when I delete you maybe I'll stop feeling so bad" 😭😭😭😭
The voice actor for GLaDOS is Ellen McLain, and she is actually an opera singer.
Thanks for this series. It's been awesome.
[I think] a lot of the trailers and promotional stuff for this game is accessible through the game in an extras sections in the menu. Thatd be a good place to watch those, they’re great.
Great emotions! I was very emotional too when I finished it )
“I have no idea to this day what those turrets were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Aperture felt free.”
I love watching people experiment this for the first time. Makes me go back to when I first experienced it.
I believe i know the feeling you had when you finished the game, REALLY bittersweet isnt it? a mixture of happiness and sadness, the ending you were looking forward is here! but you dont want it to end. This feeling of accomplishment but also emptyness like "I DID IT!! what now?", i've had the exact same feeling when i finished Radiata Stories on the ps2, it lasts for a little while haha. Good job finishing this awesome piece of gaming history! :)
Congratulations on finishing one of the greatest games of its time! GLaD you had had a blast!
The funny thing about it is that even without any of the lore or story, the game itself would still be amazing. But the fact that it's genuinely and consistently hilarious and emotional throughout is just incredible
