Ello chaps. Been a lurker here for such a long time but only really decided to post recently.

 

I was wondering if anyone has tried Limbo on the 360 yet. It looks divine, but sadly I've just recently opted for the PS3 to complement my Wii.

 

Not that I'm really complaining, but I've been watching the development of this indie title for quite some time. I'm just gutted that it isn't for the PC as well.

I played the trial, it has an atmosphere like no other game I've played. The silence and the depth of the backdrops create quite a surreal experience. At first I decided it was too expensive for me, but now I'm having second thoughts....

Oh you're tempting me, lol. If I brought a 360 home on top of everything else I've got, the missus would treat it the same as if I brought a stray dog home with me.

 

There are things that you keep your eye on that always lure you towards a particular system.

 

All in all, I am far more impressed with the indie scene on XBLA than the competitors equivalents.

Playing the trial at the moment - love the atmosphere of it all. But I'm STUCK and I keep drowning the poor chap and I feel really sad.

 

I might top-up on points and get this. But only if I can get past this bit and not get too annoyed.

 

EDIT: BWAHAHA I AM SMARTER THAN YOU, GAME!!

 

But seriously... awesum.

 

... ok so stuck again. Lols.

Mine cart bit? You mean with the two weights obstructing the pathway which you need to raise by hanging off the pulley system they're attached to? Yeah, that shit was easy yo =p.

Am stuck on this game but determined not to use a guide!!

 

After all, I managed to suss out The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom (buy this game by the way if you enjoy Limbo) and Braid, so I'm not gonna let this beat me damnit!!

Now there was a hard game. I was doing well with it until about half way through and it is as taxing as hell. Really good game though.

I mean the end of the mine cart part where the cart hits a switch to electrify the floor. I just can't get the timing right on it.

Took the plunge and bought the game. Just gotten past the end of the demo. Read a review in The Times which said the game's only 4 hours long, so I'll be playing it fairly sparsely.

I've not finished it yet. I've had about 3 goes on it, and I took it quite casually and spent time looking for the hidden... white things. Rather than just sitting down and finishing it in one go, the way I've been playing it has made it feel quite lengthy.

Just over half-way now. Just did a bit where there was an elevator -- I found I could jump onto a bit of rope on the left by leaping from the top of the elevator but I couldn't do anything from there so just gave up and moved on to a bit with a fly/mosquito. I tend to do a couple of tricky bits each time I play, now.

Playing this for about 10-15 mins every other day. I usually get stuck then give up, then return and solve it pretty quick. Currently I'm in the revolving section after the box/circular saw stuff (don't remember exactly where), having started my session with the mosquito bit.

I finished this on Sunday. Got some of the cleverer hidden achievements but clearly missed some obvious ones. Brilliant game, proof that basic gameplay still provides heaps of enjoyment when well executed.
