this thread doesn't have any spoilers or anything Ive just seen a lot of people complaining about stupid crap and want to say that anybody thats even thinking about not purchasing the game because of these complaints should really think again.
the game is absolutely brilliant one of the best single player games Ive played in years its extremely well made and really really funny, i didn't know what to expect when i first went in, i thought it would just be a lot of test chambers in a similar structure of the first game but its so much more with some really great moments and characters.
im on about 7 hours though the single player campaign i think I'm near the end now me and my friends have completed it between about 7 hours playtime without playing the co-op campaign so it will be quite a good length with them both combined
DLC: im not gonna say much about the DLC because i think the argument in this case is stupid but if you think about it, the item shop thing is just option to be used when using steamworks so its not like they spent a lot of dev time making it,
but more importantly the inclusion of the item store suggests that they want to keep adding content for the co-op campaign outside of the final release, and considering their history on proper playable content it will almost certainly be free. i don't know about everyone else but i would much rather have an optional item shop for cosmetic items and have free playable content rather than having to pay for both like most games do
Edit: FOR DISCUSSION VALUE!! so what did everyone enjoy about the game, i love the environments and just the polish of the game and the story and characters and extremely well written i spent the first few hours constantly laughing while being scared of what Glados was planning
