What the **** is braid anyways?

[Lucid]

A game like Mario but with physics, it's getting rave reviews all over the place.

[Hectic Glenn]

This new indie game on xbox 360 arcade, it's pretty awesome. Artistic with lovely music and really clever puzzles. For example Braid Gameplay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD55Xkx8QpY)

A great ZP production as usual, he takes apart the artistic avenue of Braid superbly :laugh: Indie at $180,000!?

[AHA-Lambda]

:laugh: bloody brilliant especially the adrian jab

[Asuka]

[Blackthorn]

Can't say much for the gameplay but I am loving that music!

[Doppelgofer]

the gameplay is amazing. its a big mind****

[Shakermaker]

The first 90 seconds of this ZP were absolute class. I had to watch it twice since I lolled so much that I missed half of it.

Obviously you haven't played the game, or if you have, you haven't beat first first level.

[Lucid]

Never played it, just from most of the reviews and people who have played have said it's basically Mario with physics.(jumping on enemies to kill them and the like)
I wouldn't care to play it anyways since I hated Mario.

[Dog--]

Looks like kind of a stupid game.

Erm... yeah, it is similar to Mario in that you pounce on enemies heads... thats where the comparison stops.
Braid has mind-bending time manipulation gameplay, interesting puzzles and a thought provoking narrative.

[Qonfused]

Great episode.

[Naph]

So the descending flag of ending levels, and the old man walking out saying "I'm sorry, but the princess is in another Castle" isn't?

[B_MAN]

great as always!
i'm definitely gonna get the game as soon as i find time for it

[WhiteZero]

Old man? It's totally a dinosaur, man. And I was talking about game play, not silly homages to Mario.

[Vegeta897]

Saw my cousin play the demo of this...

You can reverse time, so why was he complaining about the two door key thing? If it breaks, reverse time and use it on the other door..

Surely I must be wrong...

[[Matt]]

I laughed out louder at the ending comment than at any other comment in any previous zero punctuation review ever!....

And whilst Braid takes the piss out of Mario it certainly isn't a Mario clone.

[Narcolepsy]

This one was hilarious. My inner fanboy was filled with rage at the slip about the "breaking keys". The reason the keys "break" is because when you're walking backwards on world 4, you're reversing time... so when you walk into the door from the right, you immediately reverse time and stop the door from opening.

Seriously funny review though.

No even reversing time won't fix the key.

[Jintor]

Thiswas great.

Especially Adrian.

**** that guy.

[VictimOfScience]

That was brilliant and spot-on. $180,000 for an indie title. How much was Uplink again?

[Vegeta897]

Holy shit Uplink was so good. They need to make a new one where you don't get caught out of nowhere by some system you hacked a million years ago that slowly traced you and you can't even do anything to stop it. Shit ruined the game for me :/

Did you just spoil the game for me, bitch? :|

[Gray Fox]

Kadayi promised me this game would be released on the PC.

....always hop through one or two machines that you can easily remove logs from. You cannot be traced by some ancient machine if it hits a wall.

"Motion Tracker Security Upgrade" and "Nuke Gateway Security Upgrade".

I doooooooo! :(

I even followed a guide online, to the ****ing letter. D:

There is no storyline to spoil. When I said "some system" I really meant "some system". If you don't cover up your tracks completely, some system you hacked will eventually trace you up.
