Back when the game came out for 360 only I remember being very interested in it and no doubt would have purchased it had I owned a 360.  I was pretty excited when it came out for PS3 finally but was too busy playing other games and the $15 price point for a downloadable game real put me off.  Well I got a $20 PSN card for Christmas and I figure I might as well spend it now and get a game while a) I'm still off school and b) before Mass Effect 2 comes out.  However, I find myself less excited about Braid than I've ever been which is somewhat interesting because now I have both the funds and the time for it.
 
So I guess my question is whether or not it is worth spending $15 on a two year old downloadable game.  Even though I am not totally opposed to saving the money, I do feel like I should download something just because I am usually busy and for once right now I actually have time to play games.  Is there any other downloadable gem better worth my time and money then Braid? (keep in mind I already have pacman DX)  Or should I just man up to the cost and get Braid?

If you got the Humble Indie Bundle you could have got it for a penny. 
 
But still get it. 
 
What is wrong with you.

Go for it. I've played recently and loved it.  It's never too late to play a game that you like.

Absolutely not. Braid is unlike every other game out there both in terms of gameplay and narrative, you should get it. Go, play, enjoy.

braid is definitely worth it, i didnt play it till the start of this year, and it is awesome.

You have to play it, no matter the price.

Why does it matter that it's two years old? It's an amazing game and I think it would be a good idea to give it a go. 
 

If you have a computer that could play it, I'd heavily suggest getting it on Steam since it's only $5 dollars right now as opposed to $15.  It's a good game, but not something that you'll end up playing more than once or twice.

It's not like the graphics or anything are dated now. Braid is amazing. Go buy it.

Braid is timeless.

Yep, anyone who plays it now is a loser. It was a good game, too bad you didn't buy it sooner.

Any good game can be played at any moment in time.  They never decrease in quality. 
 
Having said that, I still don't get what people like about Braid.  I get that others can have their opinion, but it felt  fairly derivative of what  I played on Kongregate for the last 4-5 years.

You can just get it on Steam for dirt cheap right now...I'm assuming you have a PC as you are on the forums.

It's still fun. And before you ask it - yes, Trine is still fun. Go get it!

When is it ever too late to play a game? 
 
There are no dumb people, just dumb questions. And dumb people.

I've never understood this "Is it too late to play this game?!" thing.. just ply a game if it's good.. the age of it doesn't matter at all.

I don't really think it's ever too late for a game unless it's a game that relies heavily on multiplayer support and you're playing after interest has dwindled. So, no, it's not too late. Play it!

wtf r u doing play it now! 
 
Fucking loved that game. 

If you were smart, you could've paid 10 cents for it and a few other games with the Humble Bundle, you'd also get 5 other games with the original bundle too.  :|

Actually if you threw down like 8 bucks on the humble indie bundle 2 you could have gotten it and a crap ton of other games as well.  Too bad I think that deal is over.

" @Karkarov: ...I heard some people paid 10 cents and got the same deal.  >.> "

YES.  It is a game that everyone should play.

Nah, its not to late.

It is never too late to play a good game.

I should play this game then  :D

" Braid is timeless. "

It is never too late for any game, son. Get it.

" I've never understood this "Is it too late to play this game?!" thing.. just ply a game if it's good.. the age of it doesn't matter at all. "

How is it ever "too late" to play a game?  

I should play that game sometime... but right now, I'm playing Final Fantasy XIII for the first time, and that's way... longer.
