    Too little too late. The entire RTCW and W:ET veteran fanbase have moved on. The blame lies on the leaked "beta" that was a warning to many and then the final, sorry product. Hopefully id can make up for it with a true multiplayer sequel, because that's what 3/4 of the Wolf fanbase was banking on Wolfstein to be, RTCW 2, a sequel, 2.0 but they didn't even get a 1.5. #wolfenstein

    @VastShadowz41: Well this doesn't add anything to the multiplayer so it's not too little, it's nothing at all. It just fixes game bugs. I only play it for the single player but yes, from what I've heard the online is just plain bad and people have moved on already. #wolfenstein

    "No more bulky Xbox 360 required!"


    I dunno, I've seen PC's including mine new one that are bulkier than a 360.


    Anyways, is there a pc demo of this game so I can try it?

    I'd like to say I have a reasonably high IQ and my favorite genre is platformers but the complex genius of some of these puzzles is mind boggling. I couldn't even finish some of the puzzles in the demo. My friend played it and I watched and it just blew me away. Its the type of game that would be ruined by a faq, yet some are so difficult (yet rewarding when figured out) that you could stare at them for hours and they'd haunt you as you try and piece them together.

    @kylo4iskyle4: Yep. It bugs me when I see people whining about how short a game it is when a complete, unassisted playthrough including the star gathering would take days if not weeks of searching and solving. It's a brilliant game, and playing it justified my 360 purchase this past Sept. for me alone.

    @kylo4iskyle4: The best thing about the Braid puzzles is that they aren't cheap guess-and-check type fare. Once you solve them you're like, "Man, I am fucking brilliant."

    @aw3str1k3r: Yep, sounds like he wanted to make an "Xbox is big" joke of sorts, but the 360 pretty much ruins it. I will say my miniPC is quite a bit smaller than the Xbox 360, but then I wonder if it could even run Braid with all those particle effects without a dedicated graphics/video card.

    @Toasticus:

    Not true. Particle effects for the most part are either points or quads. Both of which are transformed in to homogeneous screen space. They are billboarded, sometimes. But this is almost like saying 3D models are fundamentally 2D because they are flattened on to a visual plane.

    @NewSpecies: Quads being planar, which is 2D. The argument was that the vast majority of particle effects are not based on 3D meshes (although there are a few, admittedly). Sure, it's a 2D surface transformed in 3D space, but it's still a 2D surface. Most particle effects remain screen-facing anyway. You could probably take Call of Duty's explosion particle effect, strip out the x-axis and render it facing what used to be pos-x, and it would look just fine. But you can't do that with a 3D model, because it would mess up the lighting with the normals all facing either pos-x or neg-x.
