Braid

Posted by strahanned

..crazy Xbox Live Arcade game.

At least try the demo. It's like a puzzle game with a story.

I love this game, I just beat it twice and now Im trying to get the 8 hidden stars. Worth the pricey 1,200 MS points in my opinion.

Posted by strahanned

Yeah, it's kinda sad how no one is willing to give it a chance. :/

****in' great game though, I'm stuck haha.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I want to buy it but I'm not willing to go buy MS points. Let alone 1,200 of them. If it was 800, which is all I have on my account, sure, I would've got it because it looks pretty awesome, but that's not the case.

Posted by strahanned

Dude, no play the trial game at least. It should make you wanna buy it.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Like I said, I already want to buy it. I've been wanting to buy it since they announced the concept. I just don't wanna pick up and buy that many MS points right now. I'll just wait until Galaga comes out.

Posted by Last Fog

1,200 is just too pricey. For 800 pts I'd definitely grab it, but I just don't wanna spend more than that on a game that I won't likely play for more than a week or two. Especially since there's a handful of other great and unique games on XBLA that are 800 pts, what makes them think this is worth more.

Penny Arcade speaks the truth.

Yeah I downloaded the demo, and I enjoyed it. I'm not willing to pay 1,200 MS points though.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

There's a difference between 15 dollars and 1,200 microsoft points. People fail to realise this. I can spend cash willy nilly because it's easy and fast. But I have to go buy points with cash, then delicately scratch off the backing of the card hoping to hell I don't scratch off one of the numbers, then I have to type in the entire line and then I have to download the thing.

That's a lot of **** to get a game. I'd rather just walk into a store and buy the game. Way faster.

awww, vampo doesn't have a cwedit card? :(

regardless, played the demo, looks fun. but meh.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Have one, don't use it for frivolous ****.

Looks interesting, but 1,200 MP... **** that's rough on your wallet.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

It only seems rough. That's the problem with MS points. Makes **** seem WAY more expensive than it actually it.

Once I get my 1,600 MS point code from gaming lagoon, I'll be all set. Can't wait to play out this game.

Posted by Crazy K

Yeah I purchased it, and it was worth it. So far I've completed World 2,3,4, and 5, and I'm trying to solve the world 6 puzzle.

But yeah it's a fun game.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Bionic Commando is better. And cheaper. And longer. With replayability.


That is all.

Posted by Last Fog

Yeah there's no reason for this to be 1200 points. There's a handful of other great and original games on XBLA that are only 800.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Seriously. You can buy Bionic Commando and GeoWars 2 for only five extra bucks and you'll get a lot more enjoyment out of both.

Posted by Crazy K

[FONT=Tahoma]I plan to get Bionic Commando by Friday, hopefully.

Quoting Vampiro V. Empire: Seriously. You can buy Bionic Commando and GeoWars 2 for only five extra bucks and you'll get a lot more enjoyment out of both.

Not so sure about "enjoyment"..I've played the BC: Rearmed demo and it didn't appeal to me, and I already have the first Geometry Wars and don't feel that the second warrants another 800 MS points. Both of those games are sequels anyway, and Braid is entirely fresh and new.

And all that crap about the game being 4-5 hours long is complete bull****. There's so many layers to Braid it's ridiculous. After you complete the game you can collect 8 stars and that'd take long enough. There's always Speed Runs, and etc.

Fresh/Unique/Great Gameplay, Great Music, Great Visuals/Art, Great Story is worth $15 any day. Period.

CASTLE CRASHERS YOU ****S

Posted by strahanned

So I'm assuming Vamp and Fog won't buy CC either?

Posted by Last Fog

Yeah so I just found out Castle Crashers will cost 1200 pts. I'll probably still get it though for the co-op because I know at least two of my friends are getting it as well. I'm hesitant though.

Posted by strahanned

How close is the 360 version to the internet flash game?

Is it a straight port or a bunch of new content?

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Online co-op and more than six levels? Worth the extra five bucks.



and castle crashers was never a flash game iir
Posted by strahanned

Six levels? Braid had a lot more than six levels..it had six worlds..

I thought it was on newgrounds.com for some reason.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

six levels six worlds, whatever.

and you're thinking of the alien shmup

Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Alien Hominid, which is essentially a stylized Metal Slug.

Posted by strahanned

What the hell is this?

EDIT: Okay, nevermind..found out it was just one level, you can play it here:

Apparantly the storyline is creepy, gameplay was okay when I played it but not all that. I thought it'd be as simple as Portal.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I heard the story is mighty vague.
