Because this forum is about Hollywood Gaming, we're not into the indiefag stuff.

Braid was definitely worth five cups of Starbucks coffee, which is my new standard of measurement. I never finished the game, but I didn't feel ripped off, either.

Not that big a fan of Jonathan blow though. His "official walkthrough" for Braid was the height of designer conceit: You'll eventually get it, and you'll feel really smart when you do.

Only the most self-centered game designers can assume that their players will know what the designer was thinking.

If a developer who is a tool makes an enjoyable game, it's best to ignore the tool and play the game.
