moycon Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Anyone check this game out? Kinda pricey at 1200 points. I played the demo, it's like a platformer/puzzle game and I like it pretty well so far. Has anyone purchased the whole game and if so was it worth the $15?

rxd Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Anyone check this game out?Kinda pricey at 1200 points. I played the demo, it's like a platformer/puzzle game and I like it pretty well so far. Has anyone purchased the whole game and if so was it worth the $15? I downloaded the demo yesterday morning and played through it. I really like the graphics, music, playability and the puzzles (though I never would have figured out how to get the last 2 pieces). But I haven't bought the full game yet because I also am not thrilled with the $15 price for a puzzle game that everyone says is very short. Plus the fact that puzzle games have little if any re-playability, that $15 price seems steep to me. GW:RE2 I'll play forever, Braid I'll play once. I don't know, I'm still thinking about it though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 And Geometry Wars 2 was cheaper......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Anyone know if Bionic Commando is going to be uber-expensive, too? I hope it's just 800 points like the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legeek Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Really, really enjoying Braid so far, man XBLA has a string of great stuff this month... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I didn't like Braid as much......some parts are downright annoying. Neat concept....a bit pricey for my tastes, though. I preferred Bionic Commando and Galaga Legions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 I wound up getting it. Its REALLY classy and looks great and is great fun....for a bit. Unfortunately...like that Penny Arcade RPG. The replay value is none. Neither is worth the extra $$$ in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 5 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I love Braid. The puzzles are just great so far. Frustrating? Yes. When you do figure it out though, it is very rewarding. The style of the game, the story, the art, the music... Well worth the $15.00 if you ask me. There may be no replay value, but for $15.00, it's less than I would spend going to see a crappy movie that lasts 90 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Played through the demo.. was ok. but really ulitimately not worth the baiting for the "test" run of higher xblive prices they're trying to do. Bottom line, for five bucks this is a MUST buy. For 10 bucks, it's definitely worth looking into. But at $15, I'm sorry but I am not biting at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering all the other XBLA games were much lower, it make the price look high. If someone saw this game in GameStop as a new release for $15.00, I wonder if people would have the same reaction.

NE146 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Considering all the other XBLA games were much lower, it make the price look high. Well of course! They need to slowly get into those waters before shocking everyone with the new "standard". I refuse to support it If someone saw this game in GameStop as a new release for $15.00, I wonder if people would have the same reaction. As is, it isn't worth $15 I'd probably consider it for that price at Gamestop though since you're actually getting something physical for your collection. But as downloadable content? No way It'd have to be a much better game Edited August 29, 2008 by NE146 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Squinting to see the characters on a 37" tv isn't by idea of fun. I played the demo a while... it was ok but never really drew me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I bit for Castle Crashers and Braid.................I hope they don't start raising all games to 15 bucks........otherwise, I won't buy them.....plus many others won't and XBLA will go down the tube.

yuppicide Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Just played part of one level at a friends house. Awesome game! I want it now! Gameplay was great, graphics too.. amazing that one guy programmed it all.. everything, sound, graphics, game, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 It is a great game. I wish they would have made it a bit longer though. or cheaper. I still liked it. Very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PressureCooker2600 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I never got around to beating it. That was the month they released a new AWESOME XBLA game every week. Bionic Commando, Galaga Legions, Castle Crashers, Braid, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Just picked this up for myself. Got to level 3 and have to go to bed. Can't call out of work tomorrow since it's a payday. I'm a little confused how to get certain puzzle pieces, but I know you go back to get some later or something so I'm not asking for help.

yuppicide Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Anyone have issues with Braid? The sound cut out on me the other day. I restarted my 360. Also, one time it froze up to a black screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammR25 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Braid is 800 points as the deal of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikainnet Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Never had any problems with it, and I finished it within the week that I bought it. I am missing 1 achievement and I refuse to try and get it. Beating the game in 45 mins or less is almost impossible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) I finished it within the week that I bought it. Did you get all 8 stars? There's no achievement for that.. but they're there. Edited March 19, 2009 by NE146 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikainnet Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 8 stars? I hadn't even heard of there being stars in the game... great, now im gonna have to go looking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
