I've been reading a lot about Braid today and the game has captured my attention with what is said to be an intellectually stimulating storyline. I also read several of the creators philosophical essays which are clearly very thoughtful. Though I hear the game doesn't feature much in the way of a conventional narrative, which I find frustrating and offensive I am regardless very interested in giving this a try, if for nothing else to show my support for experimental indie developers.

The problem? I no longer own an Xbox and Microsoft, per usual, hpaid for an exclusivity deal with the developers. I realize that it will be coming to PC sometime this year, but it begs the question, WHEN? First 3 day sales for Braid have been mildly successfull on Arcade, though I am not aware of the games budget to make any justifiable claims of success or failure. Nevertheless I feel a creeping sensation wishing for it's failure just to be able to play it on PC sooner rather than later -but of course I wish it's creators success dspite my frustration.

I've read people saying on forums that the game costs 20 bucks on Arcade, which while isn't outragiously high is substantially more than other Arcade titles. Is this true?

For those of you who have dl-d it and played with it, how do you find it so far? Does it live up to the critical acclaim?

 

It's a great game. Other than that, I findyour post a little offensive. You secretly hope for its failure. That reminds me of Crazzy too much for me to not be offended by it.

 

No, no, no. His post was philosophically offensive. His post also didn't intellectually stimulate me, thus wasn't worth responding to very seriously.

LMAO, well played!
