To be fair, I think I can see how this would happen. We were all hyped on the game being hard. He wasn't. If you're expecting a certain type of game and get something else, it can hit you the wrong way. Kind of like when I was a kid at some pool party, and I had forgotten what beverage was in my cup. For some reason I was thinking it was lemonade, but in fact it was slightly warm milk. Slightly warm milk may not be the tastiest drink ever, but it's not that bad. When you think you're drinking lemonade, though, it tastes like how you'd imagine bat piss to taste.

I just rewatched in 1080p, and it really just seems like they added a contrast filter. With the exception of the wooden table, which goes from a really blurry table to a pretty blurry table, most of the changes are very subtle and don't seem like they're really taking advantage of actually being higher rez textures--as I said it just seems like they added some post-processing effects.

@Major Pyr0
The problem is that even at a lower resolution, the textures look blurry. That wooden table in the clip looks blurry...whether I play it in the little Youtube window, or blow it up at 720p in the Youtube window. The texture may contain more detail on a technical level, but it doesn't seem to contain more desirable visual information for human eyes.

Do I need to mail another letter?

@Haizeus
Have you tried Mass Effect? Both 1 and 2 are amazing. It will be pretty impressive and tragic if they screw 3 up.

I think you've probably got your money's worth. I played for probably half a year, and still didn't have everything like that. The reason I quit early is because I realized that once I achieved it, I would be totally unthrilled.

You got my up vote. I cannot fathom paying for this. I could barely tolerate the free youtube clip. They could have at least invested in some higher-quality elf ears. It looks like she has Doritos glued to her ears.

Download went nice and fast today. I just downloaded and beat it in less than six minutes, thanks to my even-better-than-cat-like reflexes. Or something.

It was interesting, but I'm glad it was free. Much like with Flower, I was hoping for a more creative take or interpretation on what the subject material does or how it behaves--somehow made into a fun game. However, just as Flower was essentially the oldest game in the book, "Snake"...this is pretty much, as Milf Biggenson says, Tron Light Cycles...the second oldest game in the book. Barring Pong.

In other words, much like with Flower, I enjoy it more when watching it non-interactively, because the focus is clearly on the visual element--which you can't really enjoy when you're trying to prevent your light cycle from crashing. I feel no closer to the psychology of cats after playing this game.

Do they even have it on Steam? I just did a search there and couldn't even find it.

Hands down one of my most memorable gaming experiences. Not that this is usually noteworthy, but I also loved its cutscenes on their own merit. Note: If the game seems to slow down on the 4th or 5th mission in, hang in there, the lull is short and followed by greatness.
