For my part, I find that there's a little bit of extra excitement in exploring a virgin world that turns into a little bit of condescension when I feel like the game is subtly reminding me that the person I'm playing with is coming back "down" to my level. So if a reset option was available, I'd consider using it even with those things you pointed out. | |

"You can't do what you are asking for exactly, but you can still fulfill your desires in these other ways." On the specific why, I agree that in some games with exploration a full reset would make perfect sense. Personally I feel that in Portal 2's case, the unlocking/exploration is not altogether eventful or dramatic so you're not missing much. The individual puzzles are really where the fun happens with this game! | |

I don't know, really exploring something... to walk around a game world that slowly opens up to you. It disrupts that to have to pull up a menu, or walk around in a game world that's already completely accessible. It's not a huge deal, but I might want to be able to do this if I really wanted to play through again with a friend and give him/her the full experience. | |

"one" is unclear when used thrice in a sentence to mean different things each time.
