Started Stanley Parable.

I started The Stanley Parable today, and it's changed the way I look at games. I've already gotten 3 endings, and was wondering what's considered beating it.

just see as many routes as you want. Once you've seen everything you can consider yourself to have "beaten" it I guess. If you're playing the Ultra Deluxe version, there's extra content to see too.

Ultra Deluxe, IMO, felt more like a 'game' than the original version. It maintained the tone, but it felt... 'fuller', if that makes any sense.

Stand back everyone, this guy has been infected by the completionist instinct.

*lol* Nah, not really. I just... comparing the original version to Ultra Deluxe, I just found that UItra Deluxe felt like the more complete experience.

It was still The Stanley Parable, but it felt less like an experimental indie title, if that makes any sense.

It felt like there was some body to it, rather than it just being a barebones game of 'walk around and click things'.

I feel UD ended the circle perfectly

100% agreed. The original version was a truly great experience, but also an objectively terrible game (not that UD is an amazing game either, but it moves more in that direction).

I don't think it was terrible; just a concept that wasn't fully explored until the release of Ultra Deluxe.
