Portal 2

[p0rtalthinker]

Just finished Portal 2 last night (currently playing for the second time with developer commentary on) and I gotta say, WOW! Was completely blown away by that ending, and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. That being said however, there were a few qualms I had that I wish could be fixed:

* You can't chuck objects anymore??? How come?

* Objects are wayyyy too close to the face when grabbing them.

* I miss the little light on your portal curser that indicated when I could plant a portal and when I couldn't (safe surface, not safe surface).

* New emancipation grid texture looks like something out of Quake 1

* Seeing where you placed your portals behind walls I thought was a little cheesy and It broke my immersion a bit (it hurt the experience more then added to it I thought)

* The one HUGE qualm I have is the loading screens. They happen SO frequently in the first 1/3 of the game and they really bothered me at first (even though they only take like 3 seconds). Why didn't you just go with the tried and tested loading screen you've done for nearly all source games, when its just that little loading bar and you can still see where you are?

* Objects that were intractable aren't anymore (such as chairs, coffee cups at certain times, etc.)

* I'd love if there was an achievement tab like in the original portal so I could quickly check em out an see which ones I still need (I know you can bring up the overlay and see the list from there)

* Map import tool? I noticed there wasn't one anywhere in the menu unlike the original Portal. In the future I know there will be some craaazy Portal 2 maps I'd love to play, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who will want to play some custom maps easily and not have to jump through hoops to import them.
