Hard to believe anyone on a PC will pay this price for what's essentially a Flash game.

Maybe I'm just completely out-of-touch, but I thought this game was far too short and extremely simple. I've definitely seen finer crafted F2P Flash games...

way to overrated in my opinion. the novelty of the art style wears off pretty fast and gameplay wise it's really flat

Yeah, and it's hard to believe people will pay $15 to walk through some new maps with guns in their hands too.

This is NOT based in Flash. Don't be ignorant.

It'll be $15 which is a tad lame.
Good news though.

It's great, but I'll allow that it's worth *most* of the pennies. I loved it, but I think $10 is a better price point.

It looks to be and I don't doubt it, I'm just tired of year late, full price ports. We had to wait, cut us some slack!
And I will admit some sort of disconnect when spending over $10 digitally.

The only reason to get exclusive is if they give you a $hitload of money, and even with that i don´t think you´ll get more with an exclusive agreement than what you´ll made if you let your game go to all the major platforms ( p.c. xbox, ps3, Wii). really that exclusive thing is no longer forcing anybody to buy a console just for one game, and developers should try to get as much money as possible from a game.

@Hunter141072 Not only a shitload of money, but also publicity.
Playdead could not be as successfully if it aimed for all consoles.
Being part of Summer of Arcade is a hell of an advertising.

Exclusivity deals have some great pros, especially for a small developing studio. It also mean you will get a pretty good investment. And, lets face it, making games cost money.

I love puzzle platformers but hate pretentious games. I wish the gaming press and enthusiast gamers didn't dismiss games that have a fun style as kiddie. People would pay attention to games like Funky Lab Rat if it was dark and had some pretentious message like this or Braid.

@FriedConsole this game wasn't pretentious when just taken as a game to play game bloggers/reviewers made it that way.

its easy to enjoy without reading one paragraph on it.

This.
I had a 360, traded it in when my first PS3 died. I only repurchased a 360 later down the road because I missed Shadow Complex... then along came Limbo and Alan Wake. If Shadow Complex came to the 360 I would consider selling again.

i've really never understood why people flip-flop from one console to another. seems like such a waste of money....why not just keep both? you know there will be something else down the road that you'll want to play.

The guy once said something in the lines of : "NO, Netflix will distribute free beacon before we port this game to any other platform. QUIT ASKING." (See third link in the article above)

That qualifies as a lie to me.

At one point they said they weren't doing any ports of Limbo. Glad they changed their mind.

I'm in the same boat as you sir. I'm not saying the game is bad or worthless, I just think $10 would be bette and more fitting.
I hate how people get downvoted for casually saying an opinion.
