The End Of Portal 2 

i'm glad the space core got his wish.

Flawless logic here: "The correct solution to a problem is usually the easiest one, and killing you is very hard, so therefore it's the incorrect solution. So I won't even try." 10/10

"Y'know, if I were to see her again, y'know what I'd say?" " *I ' m i n s p a c e* "

I like how GLaDOS decided not to let Chell float off into space and saved her, showing that maybe it wasn’t that killing her was hard, she just didn’t want to do it.

I raged my ass off when I first saw those turrets in the lift because I thought there were multiple endings and I got a bad one but then they started singing.

I kinda feel bad for Wheatley at the end, being stranded in space with a bunch of mentally insane cores. At least he got the better life when he became a Spy Sapper

10:58 I love that immediately after deleting Caroline, GlaDOS’s voice become mores robotic, whereas while she was Caroline, her voice sounded more human. Nice touch.

Guys the companion cube was charred. Never in Portal 2 do you throw a companion cube into a fire or incinerator. That companion cube was the original

Depending on the timeline, Chell either walked out into either a Combine controlled American MidWest, or a now Combine free Earth, or even an Earth so far past the events of Half Life that the Human Race probably doesn't exist anymore, or exists as very small enclaves. Regardless Chell is probably screwed.

at least the space core got his mechanical lifetime goal. SPAAAAAAAAACE

*"Corrupted core are you ready to start?"* "What do you think?" *"Determining vague answer as yes."* God I love Wheatley

The way chell held out her hand to Wheatley in the end just shows how she still wanted to save him even after he betrayed her. He just got a hold of too much power.

Those corrupted cores are honestly the funniest things. "I'm in space"- so good.

That Moon thing was one of the most epic moments I have ever played through.

So, after having an AI berate you, almost kill you a trillion times, battling a sphere that can talk, visit space, you find yourself in front of a shed in the middle of a Michigan wheat field. What a day.

Amazing how well this game holds up graphically. Even in 2019 it looks pretty damn good.

I love the foreshadowing of the moon-portal in Chapter 6, where Cave Johnson literally says that the portal surfaces are coated in ground-up moon rocks.

It's weird how Valve made two characters who, as real people in your life, would annoy the hell out of you, into actually likable and memorable characters. Portal 2 is SUCH A GREAT GAME FOR THIS.

11:12 "Killing you, is hard." What I like about that line is that she means it more than a literal, physical way, but on an emotional level too. GLADoS had plenty of chances to kill Chell in the ending. She could've let her fly off into space, she could of killed her when she was unconscious afterwards, she could've killed her with the MASSIVE ARMY of turrets all singing to Chell. But she doesn't, she just can't really let Chell die after all of that.

When he says "grab me, grab me, grab me" it's a reference to the beginning of the game where Wheatley disengages from his management rail. Stuff like this is what gives me goosebumps when watching this scene..

it almost caused me physical pain watching you figure out how to get those cores.

I still remember the first time I played through this game, and what it felt like in that split second when the ceiling fell away and you could see the moon for the first time. _Immediately_ it clicked, and it was just a rush of joy and wonder and absolutely overpowering excitement for what would happen next. To this day, still one of the greatest moments I've ever experienced in gaming.

When I saw the turrets I was ready for Glados to just kill us… but nope she kept her side of the deal, and decided to pull a prank on us to remind us of her humour. It seems Caroline isn’t fully gone.

"When Caroline Lives In My Brain" *"Caroline Deleted"* "Goodbye, Caroline"

Did anyone notice GLaDOS's voice was more human before she deleted Caroline? One Caroline was deleted, she went back to that very robotic, monotone voice.

Watching other people play portal is like banging my head against the wall.

How the hell does an ending of a game 11 years ago still look epicly cinematic. Especially when Chell shoots the last ever portal she will shoot into the moon. 9:29 that *ding* is what makes this ending brilliant

14:06, Wheatley never returned to Earth. He became half electronic parts, half metal, and floated through space. And though he wished for death, he was unable to die So eventually, he stopped thinking

Out of all the video games I've played, Portal 2 probably has the most incredible ending. The scene with the moon was very well executed, and the opera singing was beautiful. It's a shame we don't get games like this very much anymore.

12:29 "the council will decide your fate"

Dude... Wheatley sounded so sad and desperate when he said “LET GO, LET GO I’M STILL CONNECTED”

14:02 This made me feel horrible. He was sorry and now he's stuck in space until they make a Portal 3

My PC crashed when Wheatley said "The End"

Anyone find the ending emotional... the whole concept is so dystopian and fearful yet the logical aspect and reminiscent ending is so amazing that, you miss the characters and setting. It’s like leaving hell and wanting to go back simply to place yourself back into the scenario...

I love how GLaDOS throws the companion cube out to. Basically she's saying: take you crap and go.

When I first played this I didn't realize I had to shoot the moon. I just did it out of reflex and thought "Okay, now let's think about what I'm supposed to- oh, oh that was it? Okay then."

Everytime, "Grab me! Grab me! Grab meee!!! " breaks my heart.

GLaDOS probably didn't actually delete Caroline. She knew that she was programmed to get the urge to test again. She now realises that she cares too much about Chell, and decides to let her go. "Killing you, is Hard" she says, which could also be interpreted as emotionally hard. That monotone voice was just an act. If she would delete Caroline, she would delete herself. She probably came up with this act while Chell was unconcious. Also in the song she even literally says "my little Caroline is in here too". That's why they show they also robots, to give an indication that she now has something to test with until eternity and contol that urge. She loves Chell too much, so she lets her go, sings her goodbye (my child; cara mia) and gives her her beloved companion cube.

As a kid I loved the idea that once Glados realized she was Caroline, that Chell was her daughter. Especially because of the weird science fair project you find with her name on it, and the comic implying that since there's a teddy bear next to her pod she grew up in the Aperture facility. The Italian lyrics of the son are especially sus, since Glados refers to her as literally: "my daughter". As an adult it's even more heartwarming to think that while Chell may have just been one of the kids of the employees who were eventually forced to test for Aperture, with no connection to Caroline, Glados genuinely feels an eventual kinship with her. Thereby changing the song interpretation to be her figurative "daughter" (more like: my girl-child if you translate literally). This game's lore so holds up to the test of time... I don't think I'll ever not be obsessed with it.

14:14 8 year old me after learning about space

Before the invention of scrambled eggs... NO WAIT THAT WAS A CONVERSATION I WANTED TO HEAR

11:05 Chell sounds pretty badass when Glados says she is hard to kill and lists all the things that she has done, after all that she has been through. Actually chell IS pretty badass. She has survived multiple tests including: Automatic killing turret machines, Fire and highly experimental gear. And to top it all off she has killed TWO highly intelligent androids that are equipped with deadly neurotoxins, bombs and shields (one not so intelligent) using only the devices and opportunities that arose around her.

12:14 Goodbye My dear Dear beautiful,dear my beautiful! My little girl, o Chell! Because I respect you ... Because I respect you. O my dear, goodbye! My dear child, Why don't you go far? Yes, far from science, Darling, darling my child? Ah, my beauty! Ah, my dear! Ah, my ...

I actually felt so sad for Wheatley at the very end, even though what he made us go through, agonizing us after becoming a corrupt evil persona. Especially at the moment when he screams "Grab me" a couple times, I kind of felt very bitter deep within. Whoever wrote this plot must've given it a lot of effort, I couldn't thank them anough to be totally honest, really touchy work :(

"Mute lunatic." I guess that's what the demons call the DOOM Slayer

'PART FIVE! BOOBY-TRAP THE STALEMATE BUTTON!' for being the worlds biggest idiot..... that was actually a pretty good idea... aside from you surviving the explosion I mean.

13:59 "Wheatley never returned to the Earth. He became half-Robot, half-AI and drifted forever through space. And though he wished for death, he was unable to die. So eventually, Wheatley stopped thinking."

Wheatley screaming for you to grab him actually tears me up inside every single time.

I cried at the turret opera

Spoiler warning: this is the end of the game

10:56 This was a cold-blooded murder. Gives me chills to this day.

I love how the game subtly points you to the solution to the final puzzle starting with the foreshadowing with Cave Johnson talking about moon rocks.

Wheatley: LET GO OFF ME ILL FIX THIS!!! GLAD0S: I ALREADY FIXED IT!!! Wheatley:CHANGE OF PLANS GRAB ME GRAB MEEE!!!!

I think we've learned a valuable lesson from this. If we're ever faced with genocidal AI's, just put them in a potato.

I don't care what anyone says, this has to be the best ending for a videogame ever. I get filled with such unexplainable emotion every time. It's goddam moving. The writers at Valve really are geniuses.

Imagine being an Astronaut in space, then suddenly you see this: 9:39

I feel like having that portal on the moon would have a serious effect on our atmosphere.

"LET GO! WE'RE IN SPACE!" "Space? SPACE! SPAAAAAAAAA...." "Let go! The portal's still connected! I can pull myself in! I can still fix this!" "I already fixed it! And YOU are NOT coming back!" "Oh no. CHANGE OF PLANS! HOLD ON TO ME! TIGHTER!!! AH! GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB ME!!! GRAB MEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee........!!!"

11:58 The council will decide your fate.

13 years later and this is still one of the best endings to a game ive ever seen. Wraps up the story in a bittersweet way, and leaves you wanting more. Portal + half life please valve. At least in my lifetime

Space? Space! *SSSPPPPPPAAAAAAACCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEE* 20 minutes later: Core 1 : you know what we need more of? Wheatley : let me guess ; space? Core 1 : *SPACE* Wheatley : oh for the love of- *The end*

Did anyone else realise that the green eyed core got sucked into space before Wheatley and spacey?

I don't think Stephen Merchant receives enough credit for delivering one of the best voice acting performances of all time as Wheatley. He's just incredible.

that part where weatly goes “grab me grab me grab meeeee” was actually kind of disturbing

"I already fixed it, and you are not coming back." I Loooooooove that so much!

GlaD0S: I already fixed it and you are NOT coming back :Weatly GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB ME!

I love the ending so much That is so amazing how she is just completely sick of your shit and just wants you gone lmao

The best ending in any game by far that I’ve experienced. The amount of pain is incredible. GLaDOS is almost upset that their adventure is over especially when that was the closest it’s ever gotten to companionship. The singing is something no short of incredible. The way it scares you into thinking that GLaDOS is back to were they started, only to relieve you into feeling sympathetic for it. Then Chell reaches the top, and you finally make it to where you’ve been trying to go only to realize that you are thousands upon thousands of years in the future. There might not be humanity left on earth, and all we know is how advanced civilization was becoming in half-life all those years ago. So you just feel incredible loneliness right after departing from the only journey you’ve ever known with the only “people” you’ve ever known. All of this within like 6 minutes. Amazing. I can only wish of a portal 3, but with the way it’s ended I don’t think we’ll ever get one. Not a genuine one at least.

11:40 I like how it says "I'll come back" in the auto-created subtitles

Best. Ending. Ever. What other game do you go to the moon to finish off a boss. Also the light is probably on the blink.

The way she says 'or put me in a potato' has been making me randomly laugh for DAYS, such good voice acting

Eventually, Wheatley stopped thinking.

Wheatley: If I was ever to see her again, d'you know what I'd say? Space core: I'minspace.

i love those cores theyre hilarious

“I already fixed it.” *”And you are NOT coming back.”*

I remember playing this game and I saw the moon as the place was falling apart and was thinking to myself “no way that is the solution but worth a shot” And then *ding*

"LET GO! LET GO! I'M STILL CONNECTED, I CAN PULL MYSELF BACK IN! I CAN STILL FIX THIS!" "Change of plans: hold onto me! Tighter! GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB MEEEeee..." "I am genuinely sorry. The end." Best last words from one Valve's most entertaining villains. The end indeed, Wheatley. The end indeed.

Damn this game still looks so cool after 8 years!

“You know what I would say?” *”I’minspace”*

Then Gordan freeman comes out and bunny hops in the speed of light to kill GLADOS

"I can still fix this!" "I ALREADY FIXED IT" Love how she says it.

3 years later, and the turret opera with the elevator going up still makes me choke up just a bit.

9:37 in the matter of a second your at the moon while irl it takes 3 days. Time travel The ending credit songs gives me nostalgia and making it feel like I'm in 2011

10 years later and this game is still one of the best out there. This game will never be forgotten

I almost shed a tear hearing Wheatley yell catch me before being sucked into space He was such a nice guy yet even when he betrayed you I still want to save him. The ending made me feel for Wheatley he honestly regrets his actions. Hope we can see him again and maybe space core

Remember kids valve cant count to three

"A dangerous insane mute lunatic" "It's been fun, don't come back"

"You know what I'd say?" No Wheatley, I'm afraid you're speaking in an accent that is beyond her range of hearing...

I just love “You dangerous, mute, lunatic.”

This may be the greatest, and most beautiful ending to a video game *ever,* especially 11:33 onward.

Time to replay portal 2 for the 80th time

I wonder what Chell will do now after being released. I imagine that she will find a populated city on the other side of the field where she will live out her own life and probably have a family. I also thought of a different ending, where Wheatley ends up getting removed instead of being thrown into space and is allowed to accompany Chell to the surface. Once they escape, Wheatley will probably help Chell find a place to live.

Wheatley before: LET GO WERE IN SPACE Wheatley after: GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB ME GRAB MEEEEEEEEEE

fare thee well Space core! you will be missed!

oh my god i just watched this again after 5, no, 6 years of when i last touched this game and... the nostalgia hit me... this was one of the first videogames that i had played with a story like this and then after i beat it i realized that there was nothing after...

By the end tests I was feeling very agitated, tired, and just wanted to get out. I remember yelling Let me out! I felt what Chell felt. Then I felt like crying when the turrets were singing me off. I made it to the surface, which was all Chell wanted. I loved the classic secret entrance in the middle of a wheat field. Everything about this game is well made. Probably the greatest games of all time.

lol first time i beat portal 2, i laughed so hard at the end when the burnt companion cube got thrown out the door behind you

I am in physical pain watching those attempts at getting those cores

honestly I feel like the most brilliant part about this ending isnt the surprising shoot a portal to the moon moment, but it still was iconic and surprising, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT IS WHEN GLADOS ACTUALLY PULLS YOU BACK IN like how are people not talking about it, there is clearly a moment where it gives the player the doubt for a second about if she was or wasnt taking you with that arm, and then she does, its literally beautiful and breathtaking

Probably my favorite ending to any video game, ever. The bit with the moon is just so ingenious.
