Go buy Braid NOW!!

[FlippyD]

I can't believe no one's started discussing Braid and it's a freaking indie game! :tongue:
Support your own industry (that is, if this is a forum where people make indie rpg games >_>...)

A lot of people have been complaining about the price. Trust me, it's worth it. It's the Portal of 2008, and you can hold me to that.

If you don't have a 360 go bug the hell out of a friend with one. Hell, you might convince them to buy it so you don't have to spend a cent. :wink:

The demo's out for 360, PC version coming soon.

For the uninitiated, Braid is a platform puzzle game where you control time ala Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, but without a finite number of charges (like the dagger of time had) and the ability to rewind infinitely. The game is incredibly forgiving and as hard as puzzles get the answers are just around the corner.

The ending, like Portal, is amazing. While Portals second half ending is slightly longer, Braid's is slightly better executed. I won't spoil anything, but to me it's the best game ending I've seen in a long time.

Well thats a useful comment. You could even use that waste of space to actually find a link for him.

My mates got it, but I haven't played it yet. He also has only raving reviews about the game as well.

Never mind, I found them.

If you want reviews check Metacritic, the game has a metascore of 92

That means, of all review scores Braid has an average of 92, making it not only the highest rated Xbla game, but also one of the highest rated 360 games! And it definitely deserves it.

I was going to get it, saw the price, and got Bionic Commando instead (say what you want about its crappy name, but it's a good game).
But I've certainly heard tons of good things about Braid. I didn't get it because I wanted points left over to get some new Rock Band tracks, but if its story is truly as great as you're making it out to be, then I'll probably go ahead and pick it up anyway.
It looks pretty, too.

I totally have to bump this. I just beat the game today and it's fucking amazing.

I got my Xbox260 for two games. One of them was Banjo-Kazooie. The other was Braid.

It definitely lived up to my expectations and beyond. It was only five or six or so hours of gameplay in total, but the experience was still worth it because it was just so good.

Damn, looks pretty cool. I'm glad somewhere out there, there are still some fun little quirky games being made.

\m/ glad you dig it

I love the ugly guy saying "the princess is in another castle" and I love people saying this game is a mario rip-off.
I can'T wait for the PC release!
