Sorry for getting so uptight. I've had a bad day, and don't like being called a fanboy. I don't own a 360, nor do I own Braid, but I did play the latter. It wasn't a bad game, but I also didn't see what was so stunning about it. It felt overly simplistic to me (It was the early stages, though.), the puzzles were really easy, and the game is very dull looking. I don't know why people think it has such a nice art style, when it just has a bunch of bland, generic environments. The game focuses around puzzles, and I've played much better. I don't really know what else to say. I remember doing one where I had to jump on some lion's head to get to another platform. There was another where I had to get this key by killing some enemy, rewinding time, so I could get back to the platform. I don't really know what else to say. For a game like Final Fantasy III DS I can point out flaws, but there's nothing really I can say about Braid other than the fact that the puzzles aren't as clever as some make it out to be. I'm sorry, but Majora's Mask still holds the spot for best puzzles in a game. Also, I can't remember what the article was about, but I just remember the guy who made Braid talked negative about a highly regarded 2008 game, like he can talk down to great games because he made Braid. Does anyone know what I'm talking about.You need to see the ending to Braid. Every gamer needs to see the ending to Braid. It's genius. If you want to see it, go see the link in the orginial post. And also, you should know that the time mechanic changes with every world. There's one world where if you stand still, time stands still, if you go left, time goes backward, if you go right, time goes forward. But disregarding how the puzzles evolve, Jonanthon Blow is very critical of mainstream games for the same reason he dislikes mainstream movies, is because they don't "push the medium forward" or rest on their laurals.[QUOTE="DeathScape666"][QUOTE="ChrisSpartan117"]Actuallly, it's more like "Did you like Braid? If not, why?" because I'm a little curious. While Braid does have flaws, I want to know which ones bothered you(like the somewhat confusing story) and how you would change the flaws. And I think you overreacted a little bit, I just wanted to know why you thought the game was overrated to make sure it wasn't because of console preference, even games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or SUper Mario Galaxy or MGS4 or Final Fantasy 7 get bashed because of system preference.ChrisSpartan117
Before I continue, do you know what 2008 game Blow critized? That could help me know what to say next.
Well, the demo was short, so I guess I didn't get the jist of it. If it comes out on PC, then I will buy it. Also, look at the article above. It's World of Warcraft. Trust me; World of Warcraft really did push the medium forward. It ushered in a whole new audience of MMORPG players.
