Worth it if you own the original?

How much more content does it provide?

[Maxx Skywalker]

Yes. There are twice as many endings. In fact it asks you after you first boot the game whether you've played the original game or not. Selecting "yes" introduces the "NEW CONTENT" sooner than it would have otherwise (based on the number of endings experienced).

In fact, the new content is better experienced if you already have had played the original, as the commentary is geared more towards players who played it back when it first released.

Thanks, that sounds good.

Were people already able to determine how many endings in total it has?

You can make lots of choices along the way, and they determine how the game ends, You don't always have to do what the narrator tells you.

You missed the entire point of The Stanley Parable. The narrator even tells you that there are more uncovered secrets yet to be discovered if you just make a beeline to the Happiness Ending.

You can see most of the content in a few hours if you're observant enough. It doesn't take long for the internet to post that stuff anyway, because there are people who scour every nook and cranny of these games looking for Easter eggs and secrets.

Boundary Break did a pretty thorough review of Ultra Deluxe: https://youtu.be/lvFUWgPlmiU

No, it's not. It's basically the equivalent of paying 10 dollars for someone to tell you how good their farts smell.

As much as I liked the original, I think paying this much for the upgraded version isn't really worth it. There's not so many "new endings", as much as it's new dialogue for the same endings. There is a little bit of new content, but it's mostly meta stuff about the original The Stanley Parable game. It would of course be impossible to recreate the experience of playing TSP for the first time, so I didn't expect that from the Ultra Deluxe version, but the added stuff didn't feel quite worth the money IMO.

If you owned the original game at release, they offered a pretty nice discount for those that wished to buy Ultra Deluxe. That price is probably no longer offered at this time, however.

Pay full price for it if you haven't played the original, wait for a discount (which are common on Steam, right? lol) if you have.

The number of endings effectively doubled (praise the bucket!), but I never really looked at this as being worth it or not. I derived so much enjoyment from tSP over the years that I took the opportunity to throw more money at him. Without having to buy a stupid game soundtrack I never wanted.

I'd say that yes, unless you're very low on funds, the new material is well worth it.

Really it depends on you, The best thing i can say is try it out for an hour and judge for your self this way you can refund it if you not happy with it, Otherwise you can watch you Tube videos which sum it up pretty well.

Youtube can show you what the bucket looks like, but you'll never really know what it's like to experience the bucket unless you pick the bucket up, cradle it in your arms, and go forth.

Your comment tells me you skip most of what i said, try re-reading it.

Here you go,

lol, THIS right here. The whole bucket layer is worth it all on its own.

it is basically a sequel plus the content of the original in my opinion. Having played the first I would say it is worth it especially if it has been years since you played the original and on top of that some of the "classic" endings have new split paths depending on certain criteria.
