How come the wheat field was perfectly maintained?

It was because of the Dyson sphere.

They probably had drones harvesting it at regular intervals or something.

>>388420463
Combine need wheat too.

Wait, was all of humanity wiped out or just Aperture Science? I thought you had just been forgotten about and were trying to escape, but the outside world was still more or less functioning.

>>388420463
Because of the combine harvesters. Duh.

Having infinite energy doesn't mean you no longer need to eat. Especially since Combine teleport tech is pretty limited, so they can't just teleport over large amounts of food from their farm planets or whatever.

Portal 1 happens during the time of HL2. GlaDos even has dialogue hinting that she's the only thing keeping the combine out of the facility.

>>388422190
So Combine know about Borealis but they don't know about Aperture Labs? With their power they could breach those labs without problem.

They picked the name “Freeman” because he was the inventor of the Dyson Sphere concept. So they had been researching Dyson Spheres before the original even came out. Named the main character off of its inventor. I just thought it was interesting since the revelation of HL3’s story came out.

Really the only way I can see Combine getting killed in any way is being crushed or having portals appear and making them fall off high places. But they'd more than likely bomb their way out of the testing area and stay in the guts of the place.

Are you retarded?

>>388426645
It's honestly surprising to me they didn't cash in on Portal more...it had a lot of traction. Weird.

>>388427025
that would require them to make a game, which would require them doing work

as opposed to not doing work and literally just making money for doing nothing by way of owning steam

>>388426645
Same.

I have yet to even play Half Life 2, should I go for it? Gonna need it flr xbox, my laptop is toaster tier.

>>388427069
>that would require them to make a game
They already have a game though, they could have completely recycled the entirety of the work done on Portal 2, give it a new story and levels, then increment the number. Easy money. That's why it's surprising.

>>388427140
Yeah you should. Has some of the best levels in FPS history. Pretty great story, fantastic soundtrack, and art is amazing

>>388426645
Whatever the sequel would have been to the script would most likely have included the portal gun. If there's going to be anything related to portal anymore it will be in a half life game.

>>388427140
>Gonna need it flr xbox, my laptop is toaster tier.
It should run on your toaster laptop. Don't know if you mean xbox hueg or 360, but both are passable. Xbox hueg version is like a time capsule, still runs the old 2004 version of the engine and never really saw an update. Still has the wrinkled dick vortigaunts.

What if
GlaDOS was just trying to make shit up to stop Chell from fucking everything up

>>388427757

Then the writers would have made up a less Half Life sounding reason to not go outside.

>>388427757
The "I was" part is probably referencing Gordan and the resistance

>>388427757
>GlaDOS was just trying to make shit up to stop Chell from fucking everything up
Seems like a waste of what could have been a really cool reference to the 7 hour war/black mesa incident

>>388427976
No, that was when Glados was damaged
It's a line from the boss fight

I think combine assaulted Aperture Science for some time. They also probably found a way in old complex, where Borealis was supposed to be - that is what caused premature launch of bootstrap device and teleporting ship away. After loosing this piece of tech, combine probably resumed assault on new complex, and perhaps even broke inside - this now led to activating GLaDOS with hastily attached purple core.
Upon activation she, as she did before, tried to murder everyone she could locate in AS, and once all scientists and combine were dead, she quickly began to setup turrets, obstacles and so on. We can assume that combine were not assed too much about portals which require shooting moonstone-covered walls, plus, since GLaDOS took full control of facility, it's not illogical to think that she had, being ultra-corporation-loyal worker, a final kill-switch to destroy all valuable data.
So, combine took it all in consideration and probably just left, since GLaDOS is unlikely to help anyone at all.

>>388425882
Actually, she can. She does it for you at the start of Portal 1.

Portal 2 has several nods to Greek mythology. A wheat field is the Greek's version of heaven. So either, it's just a metaphorical reference to this to show that Chell is free and her journey is over, or.... she died. Those turrets at the end shot her.

>>388424135
I believe the exact location of Aperture Science is kept secret. The Combine doesn't know where it is. They know what U.S. state it's in, but not where the entrance is. It's underground and the front door is a shed; it's well hidden.

I'm not sure GLaDOS would win but she most certainly would put up one hell of a fight for the Combine, for sure. She might not even try to fight them though. Oh, you need that ship? Here's the elevator to it, just don't fuck up my labs and I don't give a shit.

With the scarcity of that ammo, I think those energy balls are very expensive to produce.
Also, they ricochet off most hard surfaces. Very hazardous in close quarters.

Maybe Wheatley thought it was a part of him and made one of the other, less retarded cores take care of it.

Just finished Portal 2 for the first time. More interested in what happens to Aperture after Chell's departure. Any idea? I know there's a coop campaign, which probably has the explanations I want.

https://youtu.be/Y6ljFaKRTrI
I hate how it exploded and became "us nerds amirite" because it's pretty cute and catchy

Did portals work with HL2 weapons?

>>388438525
I actually like Want You Gone from the second game better.

>>388438156
You're right. But having a psychotic artificial intelligence unhinged and on board the borealis headed for the dyson..... all she would need to do is get inside. With like, I dunno, a gun that fired portals.

>>388438525
I prefer version without robotic voice

>>388437762
some exmples of tech Glados has access to;
Time travel, sentient nanotech, absurdly powerful computers, tech to access an infinite number of alternate realities, DNA manipulation that can create armies of mantis men, invisibility tech, being able to turn people's blood into gasoline,
Yeah combine would get fucked. There is a reason why they weren't able to just take over aperture.

>>388438145
>I wonder how did they hire all these people
Have you ever heard of a mentally handicapped child coming from africa?
It's because valve kidnapped them and uses them to playtest and only feeds them if they manage to get stuck inside a level for more than 20 minutes

>>388420463

because whatever happens inside Aperture occurs before the Resonance Cascade or (more likely) in a universe where it didn't happen due to fuckery with the Borealis

>>388438740
time travel?

Up until now, I thought Glados wasnt able to use Borealis..

>>388438981
I see...I should replay Portal2 again.

>>388438870
The motherfucking Borealis. Oh and the early prototypes for portal gun could also accidentally use time travel.

>>388428217
What if she's leaking the truth because of the damage?

>>388439315
>>388439169
after reading trough the leaked stuff and the relevant threads it seemed like glados had no access to borealis' time travel technology

>>388438740
dont forget she could also create an army of ATLAS and P-BODY

So has Valve made a response about the leak?

>>388439568

Aperture had unintentional time travel during the portal testing in the 70s.
Cave says if you see a future version of yourself don't talk to it.
This probably led them to further study time travel and make the Borealis.
GLaDOS does not use that tech in Portal but there may still be remnants of it in old Aperture.

>>388424135
The ENTIRE Aperture facility can change it's layout. A layout that is already filled to the brim with death traps.

Why don't they just teleport Borealis with Portal gun on the MOON? :D

>>388420463
I always remember their being a secret ending where the wheat field was a hollow deck and the walls fell down after the credits revealing that she was still in the facility. But when I actually played the game and looked it up online I couldn't find anything. Did I make this up or is this like a fan ending I'm remembering?

>>388445887
Haha look at this pleb, his civilization doesn't even have a Dyson Sphere

The Portal universe takes place in the same one as Half Life's.

Daily reminder that Aperture technology is actually waaay more advanced than anything the Combines have done (even the Dyson Sphere) siince most of their tech only need the power of a potatoe battery to function properly

>>388445939

yeah, the perpetual testing initiative alone outclasses the combine completely. They just never do anything because there's no central administration.

Also Cave Johnson could turn people's blood into gasoline with invisible lasers, with no effects as long as nobody knew about it. They could also turn blood into "peanut water", but with immediate effects.

Also creating mantis people, and probably working time travel, seeing as how many warnings were posted about it.
