Braid is a very unique game with a vibrant atmosphere and a wonderful use of gameplay, but it is not for everyone! I keep reading blogs that are really making a case for the game and telling everyone how much their missing out on playing it. I have played it and the gameplay just is not my thing and it's not everybody's 'thing' either. This is also beside the price point which is a matter dealt with by many other people. I understand why people dig it, as my favorite games have always been 'artistic' I really wanted to get in to it but having to perform all those timed jumps just made me frusterated and my brain just could not see the patterns to a lot of the puzzles.

My point here is if people just don't get Braid then leave them alone, they are not trashing the game or anything, but a lot of people just can't get into somthing like that for one reason or another.

Amen to that, brother! Every time I read anything about Braid, it makes me less and less interested in it. The story sounds real neat, and I'll probably pick it up somewhere down the line, but AGH! People just won't hush up about it.

Once you play it, and REALLY get it, you won't be able to stop talking about it either. It may take a few plays, but eventually things will click.
