Super Meat Boy
So this comes out tomorrow, and I wasn't really stoked at all until I saw Giant Bomb's Quick Look, and read today that they were lowering the price from 1200 MSP to 800 MSP until early November.
I've never been a huge fan of platformers like this, but this one has a ton of personality. Probably going to pick it up, probably just so I can try and spend 2400 MSP this month to get the 800 point rebate MS is doing. |

I've played Meat Boy on Kongregate many times and I love it - wish I had a 360 to play this. Game looks fucking amazing.

I can definitely see that. Once I started listening to their podcast, I started liking the Giant Bomb guys a lot more. They definitely run the site and their content differently since they are independent and can do whatever the hell they want.
But yeah, I mute them sometimes. Still always prefer their videos over any of the other gaming sites. |

Might pick it up right away if I like the trial. Video looks great, but nothing compares to hands on experience. If it's only ok, I'll deal of the week it up down the line.

This looks awesome.
Also, what was wrong with the guys in the podcast? Seemed a lot more tolerable than most "try too hard" video commentaries. |

Looks great. The controls on the flash game are immensely frustrating so if they've fixed that I will be picking this up.

I tried the demo. It's ok but not great. It's basically N+ in colour with added nods to games here and there, judging by the demo.

Nah, by those definitions, annoying people annoy me. Those guys were irritating.
Really surprised this is even an issue. I'm not sure anywhere but TPWW would people whine about me disliking the voiceover on a gameplay video. Especially when the best argument is that they're "more tolerable." HI PRAZE GUIZE Anyway, loving the demo. I spent a lot of time trying to get one of the bandages, died like 3,000,000 times, gave up and beat the level. It was awesome watching all my little meat boys running around dying, until just the one hit the bottom. It's amazing the variety in difficulty. The two levels after that one, I did in one or two lives. The only thing is, I can't get it just yet because I'm saving my points for ZOMBIE BEARZ. I hope it's still 10 bucks next time a snag a points card, because ![]() |

Yeah, getting some of the bandages is ridiculous. Especially in dark world levels.

Lost a shitload of the levels I had beaten because of the notorious save bug. Not gonna hit the replay level button until they fix that shit.

Bought it late last week, played a lot over the weekend. Really dig it, enjoy replaying levels too. Even fun playing with friends. Fun to watch and pass off controller after awhile. Good times.

Fucking fuck, you have to beat all the dark world levels to get the real ending.
Also, the world after The End is ridiculous hard. |

Yeah, after dying about 100 times on one dark world rapture level I had to put it down. Whole left side of my hand was aching.
Yet I will inevitably come back for more. |

I just spent three hours to unlock The Kid. Fuck me I'm exhausted. Probably the hardest levels I've ever played in a platformer. When I finished the first one, I was beyond elated. Then the 2nd part loaded. Repeat when the third part loaded too. At least I have him for bandage collection now.

Yeah, just spent an hour finishing teh internets and playing the dark world boss, and then another hour getting the kid. But I completed all three. Real ending is only like 15 seconds longer than the first, but it's pretty funny.
5,278 deaths later and I'm only at 70% completion. Fuck me, this game might literally kill me before I get 100%. Never wanted to get all achievements or 100% a game before, but I really want to do it for this. Also, good to see Boomer catching up, and things getting close on accomplishments. Was actually going to watch a movie, but then I saw Boomer was playing, and was all "Oh no you don't motherfucker!" Pretty sure whoever holds the top score in this on tpww, is official TPWW King of 2D Platformers. |

I've basically stopped playing Valkyria Chronicles again because I can play this in small bursts. Unfortunately, I don't play Super Meat Boy in small bursts; I can't put the motherfucker down.

Just got this. It's amazing. I'm not normally a 100%/collector, but shit, in this game I am. Spent like ten minutes trying to get a fucking bandage.

Yeah, wait til the later stages. The amount of time you spend trying to get one bandage, sigifigantly increases.

I decided right from the get-go this would be my first game where I would get all the achievements. I'm at 65% completion at the moment, and I've already 100% the first three worlds (and the current Internets levels, which don't really matter I guess). Barely into Rapture...will probably just beat the game twice right near the end. I like being able to switch from easy to hard.
And The Kid was worth it. Got a ton of really easy bandages today thanks to him. |

Just spent like 30 minutes on the last level of The End and still haven't beaten it. Biggest problem I've had in the game.
Haven't touched the dark worlds yet, but have an A+ on every level up to now. The game's hard, but it's a ridiculously fun hard. Never had this much fun in such a frustrating game. Have to say that this is easily the best original IP I've played in years (probably since Shadow of the Colossus), and the best platformer since NSMB/NSMBWii. |

Spent a few hours to get to 70% completion yesterday. Still have barely touched Rapture. My Light/Dark world completion is about to be the same. Just going to start beating the game one level at a time until the very end. This S-Rank is going to be sweet as hell, just don't know how long its going to take me.
