Since the game now sells for 10$ this game has value beyond many other things that has reached XBLA in a long time. Looking forward to some crazy ass Trial and Error. Probably going to be as angry at this game as I was with IWBTG.
" Key point to those still thinking about the game, it's tough but fair. Fairness it the key world. I still have yet to be frustrated by the game. "
Then I guess you're a better man than Brad, judging by the Quick Look. :p
I get what you mean, though. I Wanna Be The Guy has ridiculous scenarios where things will come off screen in a tenth of a second and kill you. There is literally no way to predict what will and wont kill you in most of the screens until you die to them. It's an extremely frustrating experience in how the game punishes you for simply playing it. Super Meat Boy is different, it doesn't punish you for playing it, it punishes you for sucking at it.
I'm definitely getting this game the moment it hits Steam for the inclusion of Spelunky alone. I loved that game, though I can't imagine how that character plays in such a fast paced skill based platformer when Spelunky was a slow and methodical game.
As much as I hate games ,like this, I might buy it, just so games like this will be made in the future. After that hour long quicklook, I can appreciate the quality of this game.
I want to play this game but I'm worried about my controller. The d-pad glitches sometimes and misses presses or does 2 quick down presses when I hit down once. I think I'd have to get a new controller with it, but the new version isn't out yet and I was waiting on that. hrrrrr. Maybe I'll get the PC version.

I don't know if Brad was actually frustrated though. Does it qualify as frustration if you have a big grin on your face? I am ranked 4th on the leaderboards though (some guy keeps taking my #3 grrr! I know I'll be 15642nd soon enough)
Yea I haven't unlocked Spelunky yet, I'm looking forward to looking up user videos on how to find all the secrets I'm missing.
i know this review is for the 360 version but any idea if the pc version will support gamepads? i can't play games like this on a keyboard at all for some reason
