How many hours did you need to beat the game? - Page 4

warforgad · 09-29-2011, 03:47 PM

2 hours(no stars) never done a speed run.
BUT, I have a friend who showed me this game a while back, so I remembered some of the puzzles from then.

Master Bates · 10-08-2011, 05:37 AM

5 hours. Did use some help.

Wirbowsky · 10-09-2011, 05:36 AM

how do you know how much did you play.

Steam tells me I have spent 2h10 minutes last week. But what about the total?

Community, view all * games, all games, Braid
25.8 hrs on record

Wirbowsky · 10-09-2011, 06:11 AM

Then i have 3,2 hours on record (without walk-trough). Actually I played more than this as when I was stuck on a puzzle, i used to quit the game and play it "in my head" to find the solution.

emtilt · 10-09-2011, 10:28 PM

Took me 6.2 hours (according to Steam) with no help. I did that in multiple sessions though, usually stopping when stuck and thinking about the solution while not actually in the game. I didn't get any stars. I have no interest in doing some of the things getting the stars requires, so I did read about the additional ending if you get them.

4 hours according to Steam, no help.

Although I got totally stuck at one point missing 3 puzzle pieces and quit trying for like 6 months. Now I came back and figured the puzzles out in like 30 minutes.

A break does miracles to your brains.

Edit: Amazing ending.

According to Steam, I took 2 horus to beat, no help.
And now I'm just trying to get the last Achievement, Speed Run one

I hate you.Stuck on the same levels and depressd me to the point I had to uninstall it.

Made me feel terrible.

Jonathan Blow caters for 1 sort of person.

The elite brainy one.

The snotty nose who flew through school.
That's his market.

I wasn't blessed with those genes so this game will never connect with me.

I just dug a hole deeper and deeper with this game until the black dog sat on my shoulder and I felt miserable.

Portal does that to me also.

Platformers or puzzlers even old style scroller shooters,my mind isn't there.

TH e trouble is the game didn't want me to push.

I didn't feel compelled to go the next step by this game because I just didn't care but hte frustration factor killed any adrenalin I had left.
It just didn't do that to me like A Skyrim or Half LIfe 2 or Fallout 3.

Games that have balance are a very hard thing to do.

Is it the developer's fault that you don't like puzzle-type games?

thebum06 · 05-03-2012, 10:45 AM

I beat it in 3 hours. I needed help for that one puzzle in world 5 (I'm sure you can guess which one), everything else I did on my own.

I just finished the game tonight, and I'm happy to admit that it took a little over twenty hours. I got every piece and finished all the puzzles. I never got these stars that I've begun to read about, as I avoided this forum and other walkthroughts. Jonathan Blow writes in the "official walkthrough", "All the puzzles are reasonable. Don't give up." I believed him.

Like ProudTiger in #54, I had a burning frustration at the difficult parts of the game. After I got the last puzzle piece, I was really resentful at another run of puzzles, with a slightly different mechanic. By the time the princess arrived, I kept muttering to myself "Why is Jonathan making do this ♥♥♥♥?!"

That said, completing the game and achieving a sense of 'closure' became important, and getting to the end was satisfying, though I had to rinse the bitter feelings away. This is an awesome puzzle game.

Almost 5 hours.

yellowleo · 06-06-2012, 09:50 PM

I took me about 4hrs and 30 mins to do and speed runs...

Are you twelve years old or something? Your lack of intelligence makes you unable to complete the actual game (running through the levels is plain easy, gathering the puzzle pieces is why we play the game) so you use a sexual orientation as a cuss word and cuss the game, although it's all down to your own stupidity?

Try playing the game again and take in everything the game has to offer in five years time, when you're somewhat mature. This isn't a game for the typical numb-minded, senseless, always-want-action kid.
