I recently finished Portal 2 and the story id good, and the puzzles sometimes annoyed me Happy
but now its over there is just nothing to do except co-op, and to get platinum trophy.

I was thinking what if you could create your own puzzles. Just like LBP you design it and upload it to share with the community. This will make people keep the game longer then a week. You can use all your brains to make some really great puzzles.

I just think this would have given the game an online competitive edge. Maybe have leaderboards of some of the fastest times / most played / most impossible puzzle etc.

If they did this I would easily have kept the game for much longer then I plan to. Whats your opinion on this? Do you reckon it would work?

Thanks :y:

Making your own puzzles would be so good but I think they spend ages making levels because everything has to be right.

You can make your own levels on the pc. It is a bit of a painful process currently because Valve hasn't released their official tool yet, but they said they will release one sometime after launch :y:

If you just really want to get your hands on it, here is a tutorial. Probably best to wait for the actual tool though :p

Custom maps will be able to be accessed on on the pc version and the ps3 through the steam feature from what I have read.

Valve has also said it will be bringing the best user created levels to all consoles through DLC. Knowing Valve it will likely be free on pc and ps3, who knows about M$

TLDR version = Its sorta like LBP, and it will be even better as time goes on =D

Sounds sweet :y: It would be better if us on ps3 could create puzzles ourselves. Only problem I see is the people with portal 2 now have probably finished it and wont wait for DLC to be released:mad:

still the same OG, but I've been low key
It would definitely be a challenge, but would add some serious replay value to the game.

Do a barrel roll!
If you got the PC version. Which you did if you got it for ps3. They will be releasing mods tools and you will be able to create your own custom maps/levels. It is rumored the mod tools for PS3 will also be released.

Moving to the Xbox Scene.
I think they could at least make some MP gaming, Example: "Portal Trap" (1v1) First person to trap the other player between portals win. =D
