Actually, it requires just as much downloads, namely .NET 4 Framework and XNA Runtime 4. And thats about it.
So will I need to get these to play?

It's probably best to wait for simplicity's sake.

Also, difficulty isn't really something to worry about. I mean, dying sucks, but it's not like you can run out of lives and get a game over or something. Dying is more like.. an inconvenience.

Besides, to limit yourself based on past experiences is silly. If something is challenging, keep doing it until it's not!
Oh ok. I saw the hearts and thought then when you died it was game over. I don't want to get a game that I can't play. I would much rather step into these things and start with something similar but easy otherwise the game just gets annoying and i don't play.

I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

The released version will probably come with them, but the framework might still need to be installed separately. I'd get the framework either way; there's an unending wave of programs that need it.

Eh, my version wanted me to install the entire XNA studio, so I had to download Visual C# Express as well.

No it didn't. It's just that Leak 2 comes with XNA GS for some reason. You actually don't need it, just the runtime.

Yeah, I spent ages trying to get the full XNAGS on, when Deon told me how all you need is the redistributable.

I love it when people make 15 posts to ask about a game when they could have read 5 pages instead.

Why do you insist on being an asshole to her? Nothing wrong with asking and getting precise feedback on exactly what she wants to know about.

I believe there's a hidden message somewhere in here...

But the push, don't pull did make me laugh.

Because I always read before I ask. And it's like someone walking into a rave and asking "So what's this rave thing all about?"

And I'm not upset. I just never got how someone can ask 10 questions when they could read and get them answered.

Which 5 pages?  This is a 100+ page thread, and chances are she wouldn't have understood our chatter anyway without asking questions given her reaction to the video.

Edit:  Normally I'd agree, but this just isn't such a case.
