Mikeastro plays Portal 2: ''First and Goal'' by Libbybapa

Another Libbybapa map because I hate living.
Map: steamcommunity...
Notes:
My apologies for not capturing every realisation live. On the other hand, by not talking while being stuck for some 90 mins I saved you a lot of time.
1:15 - start of the map
16:40 - second cube finally obtained
23:00 - despair is setting in
27:50 - advanced despair is setting in
29:30 - rock bottom
29:40 - salvation
31:20 - finally cube at laser
43:00 - completion and confusion
44:00 - replay just to be sure
56:20 - completion again, and more understanding

I really enjoyed you going back and working through the puzzle again. Watching you slowly figure things out over the course of a video can make it hard to keep track of all the different parts. Showing it altogether in a single run at the end really shows off the puzzle and brings it all together for a nice finish.

Thanks, Mike! Always fun to watch. Indeed the main reason I decided to create the remake was in order to incorporate that move you described as 'EVIL'. :) I was also interested in doing a relayout. As you saw the faith plate is the key to forcing that evil move. That difference in sequence is quite subtle for forcing such a key move. I can understand how having played the original might make it even harder to see. Thanks again!

1:14 :) Really surprised how similar my playtesting experience was to yours: started off smoothly and then hit a brick wall very quickly, since I became fixated on setting up the touchdown move too early. I only found "that move" when getting inspired by a certain unintended solution for the original. Libby is mercilessly clever as always haha, great job solving it!

I played the first iteration of this map before I played Dolphiner's original chamber. My experience was quite different, because I didn't know that "touchdown" move. ... (the first iteration also failed to force it, oops.). I enjoyed your video a lot. Especially the summary part at the end - the difference is so subtle, that it's not clear why it works like that. Going through the map for a second time and thinking aloud was fun to watch.

"...because I hate living." Alright XD 43:05 I asked myself the very same question at the very same moment! XD but I was neither motivated nor was I even able to find the answer after I worked so hard for this for hours ^^ 50:30 oh it's a dutch down move now? ;-) 56:32 I agree, my experience was a similar one. The knowledge about Touchdown didn't make it necessarily easier. But I think that maybe I wouldn't have found the correct touchdown move at all without knowing it from the original.
