Portal shortcut

Just because there is an obvious way to do things doesnt mean you have to take the easy way.

A cheat? I had to do that to beat the final advanced map, it felt like cheating but I saw no other way to get to the 3rd higher plane after the first fling.

Yeah I haven't another way of doing that either.

But still... this defies all logic and if you listen to the directors commentary they go on about how they never punish you by chopping you in half for staying in a portal... as far as im concerned thats the only reason this is possible.

When I used it in the standard levels i felt dirty.

I need to buy this game

This is not a shortcut. almost everyone does this

this is called portal riding, and it was essential to beating some of the time trial challenges. I am sure they were aware of this and left it in as a feature if you are smart enough to figure it out.

[roentjeu16]

[ichoserapture1]

@andrew2000ad even the advanced levels arent so hard that you have to use the cheap way out

@Tyronis3

Oh cool i didn't know that!

[Tyronis3]

@paclac1337 You can do it in Portal 2, it's just more difficult. Hold the arrow key to the side the exact same time you shoot and it should work.

[paclac1337]

Too bad you can't do this in Portal 2, it pushes you out of portal if you try to stay in it :( i learned the hard way and fell in sewer water.
