Title: Super Meat Boy G|OT|Y 8====D~~
Post by: AdmiralViscen on October 20, 2010, 08:03:48 AM
This game rocks.

Interface question though - what does it mean when there is a bandage stuck to a level on the level select screen? I have one on level 4 even though I have the bandage in that stage. I also have six other bandages but no other stage has an indicator.

I got the bandage in levels 20 and 7, but every time I reload the stages it is still sitting there. But it is not still there in level 4...

The game is still giving me credit for 7 bandages, but I'm not sure if I should be credited for more than that.

OK, I went back to level 7. This time I got the bandage and an A+ on the stage. Now it says I have 8 bandages.

The bandage within the stage is still visible and there is still no indicator on the title screen, lol. Is this borked?


I'm just gonna record levels where I couldn't get the bandage here until it is patched.
DW 1-14
LW 2-5
LW 2-12 warp

I am playing through Dark World 1 now. I have found that if I hit B to return to menu on a stage where I got the bandage, I get the proper indicator on the world map. I guess hitting A to proceed to the next stage prevents it from appearing?

It also reads 20/20 for bandages even though I missed one in DW14 and I still have 4 or 5 levels left. Weird.

What am I actually supposed to be doing with Jill's special? Google says she can slow her descent but I'm not really seeing it.

Oh, tap A, not X lol

That probably would have made DW 1-14 a lot easier

edit: The developers say this game is 500 megs due to audio, which is going to be the main obstacle compressing it to the 40mb limit on wiiware. To those who have played it, does  like every stage have its own special music or something?

sux my balls Magus, game is incredible. Soooooo addictive, so much challenge, so much bang for your buck.

And yeah, no idea what the bandage thing on the level means. I got like 4 bandages but cant figure out why only one stage has the bandage icon on it.

This year has been so good for downloadable games.

Post by: DJ_Tet on October 21, 2010, 01:48:25 AM

This game is balls out platforming greatness, I can tell after just the first 'world.' I can only imagine what lies in store for me.

Two things really take it to platforming bliss and make it something all new:

1st. Levels start out really small and just build, but the music doesn't start over every level or every time you die. Instead it just keeps going, growing and intensifying. And when you die there's no useless screen or anything, nope it just throws you right back in there like an FPS or something.

2nd, and most important. It makes you appreciate your 'stupid' deaths. In platformers back to the original Super Mario Bros, we've laughed at our friends as they gear up to make this awesome jump only to just run off the cliff harmlessly. It's hilarious, and when it happens to the gamer it's infuriating!

Well Super Meat Boy records all your deaths and then plays them back on top of each other. I did not anticipate how great that would be. Not only graphically while you are playing the world, seeing all your mistakes in blood all in front of you. But the replay, you can have a good laugh at the time you jumped right into the saw right off the bat. Or you can cringe at how you f'ed up right at the end, as two Meat Boys fight for the princess, with only one to make it!

The sense of humor is right up my alley too.

Fantastic game, could end up being my favorite XBLA game to date (although admittedly that isn't saying a lot.) If it does though, it would be a surprise to me personally as Bionic Commando was one of my top 5 NES games growing up. To put Super Meat Boy in that class already is as high an honor I can give it.

Post by: AdmiralViscen on October 21, 2010, 08:50:19 AM
Well, it looks like the bandage glitch is fixed. It's too bad too because it looks like it would have let me grind out tons of freebie bandages on easy levels. I am replaying World 1 and I am getting bandage marks on all the levels of the world map. My total bandage tracker is incrementing up for each discovery though even though I've already gotten them. I'm up to 26/20 now lol.

If I had cheesed this yesterday I could have unlocked all the characters. Oh well.
Title: Re: Super Meat Boy G|OT|Y 8====D~~
Post by: AdmiralViscen on October 21, 2010, 09:55:44 AM
Glitch is not fixed, I just double-dipped bandage 2-20.

Try to avoid quitting out of a map right after you beat a level. Move onto the next. Then when you are done playing, back out to the map screen and see if you got all the bandages you expect. Keep replaying levels that don't have bandage marks (but should) without returning to the title screen.

Just make sure you back all the way out to the main menu and then return to dash to make sure the game saves. Peoplea re saying that missing bandage indicators mean the game isn't saving, but I have not lost any progress.
Title: Re: Super Meat Boy G|OT|Y 8====D~~
Post by: DJ_Tet on October 21, 2010, 06:00:27 PM
Got a lot of bandages last night, ended up getting credit for 3.

Kinda sucks.

I did have the 7th fastest time on one of the first levels (tied for 1034 or something lol) after you throw out all the zeros.

But hopefully they figure out the saving/bandages part.  It would be frustrating putting a couple of hours into that game to get a good time/A+/bandages and not have it save.

Post by: AdmiralViscen on October 21, 2010, 06:26:21 PM
I'm up to the last level and I haven't lost any saves.

This level is kind of BS though. I went into it with 1200 or so deaths and now I've cleared 1600 and I still haven't beaten it. The jumping is fine once you figure out the path, but there is one part that requires you to make a perfect hop to squeak between 3 blades that is nearly impossible to perfect. So you go through 10-15 seconds of now-familiar platforming just to roll the dice on that again. It sucks.

The last world is the only one that requires you to beat all levels to confront the boss. I did the other levels in under 10 deaths each.

Since I'm done with Vanquish, I figured I'd play some of this. I just finished up all of the light zone and most of world 1's dark zone. Fun game, but I'm still not sure how I feel about these type of platformers. They give you infinite lives because the game isn't really balanced to be beaten on a set number of lives, you just have to die over and over until you memorize when to hit the button and for how long to get past death trap x. Eh, I dunno. Still better than any other platformer i've played this gen though.

I'm up to 1127 deaths already with only 40% total progress, so I guess i still have lots more dying to do.
Title: Re: Super Meat Boy G|OT|Y 8====D~~
Post by: iconoclast on October 28, 2010, 06:12:37 AM
Just got A+ on all the light levels. The last one was pretty tough. The first time I did it, it took me 48 seconds (45 is the cut off for A+). Had to replay it and wound up with a 44.96 second run. Talk about close. :lol

Off to the dark world tomorrow I guess. 100% shouldn't be too far off since you don't need to A+ the dark world stages I believe.
Title: Re: Super Meat Boy G|OT|Y 8====D~~
Post by: Beezy on October 31, 2010, 12:09:55 PM
This game is crack. I played non stop last night until about 4 AM to beat the game in the light world. 6-5 is easily the hardest light world stage in the main game. I haven't raged that many times because of a game in years. I'm gonna go for some bandaids and try to get the ending for the dark world today. I doubt I'll be able to beat every stage though.

Btw, the world you unlock after beating the game and Teh Internets? Torture. Pure torture. Still though, it's the most fun I've had with a platformer this gen.
Title: Re: Super Meat Boy G|OT|Y 8====D~~
Post by: iconoclast on October 31, 2010, 12:16:44 PM
Yeah, I'm playing right now. So close to getting 100%, but I need a break for a few minutes since my hand is starting to hurt. The last stage of the final world is a bitch btw. I'd say that's the hardest light stage. But just wait until you get to The Kid's warp zone. Those stages are pure FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU. I just unlocked him and I'm glad that crap is behind me.

Vanquish and Meat Boy back to back is no good for my blood pressure.

Love this game. Best platformer since the SNES era. It's right up there with Trials HD, SSF2THDR, and Bionic Commando as one of my favorite XBLA games. Game's a 10/10, 5 stars, A+, S-rank, god tier, etc.

The 2nd to last stage in that vid can be beaten in about a second with Spelunky.

this game is SO HARD
Which world are you up to?

World 2 ;_;

I died about 50 times on 2-2 last night :(((((((

I think I need to give up on trying to A+ / get all bandages as I go and just clear levels for now

oh gawd this game is soooo good. just come off of VVVVVV and into this, the gaming gods are smiling upon me.

I think it says something when some of the most enjoyable games I played this gen are low-budget indie titles.  

Global leaderboards are already broken, you got peeps with 0.00 sec level completions. F-that, it's all about friends' leaderboards anyway - I think I beat some of bebpo's and Joe's times. Adding more of you peeps to my f/list to compare times'.

Some of them are tough, but there are warp zones and dark world stages that are way harder imo. And also The Kid's first stage is pretty hard.
Title: Re: Super Meat Boy G|OT|Y 8====D~~
Post by: Beezy on December 03, 2010, 11:16:31 PM
The Kid stages are easily the hardest in the game. Took me like 2-3 hours to do, my vision blurred, I questioned if I was actually capable of completing it, etc. :fbm

I think I hated the 2nd stage more than the 1st. 3rd stage is a cakewalk compared to those two.

Quote
Super Meat Boy fans are in for a meaty treat. Starting sometime in mid-January, a free content update for the PC version of the game will become available. The update adds, among other things, a level editor, an online level portal, and a new chapter called "Super Meat World."

Below is the full detailed list provided by Team Meat:

A fully supported Super Meat Boy level editor.
- Players will be able to create anything they have seen level wise ingame (minus bosses)

- Players will be able to lock levels so they are only playable with specific characters.

- When a player completes his level (validating its possible to beat) he will gain the option to upload it to the level portal.
An online level Portal.
- Players will have the ability to sort and play user made levels by date, difficulty and over all fun.

- Difficulty is internally calculated by the number of times users die before completing the level.

- Over all fun is calculated by users voting 1-5 stars on level completion.

This update will also include the addition of "Super Meat World" a chapter that will unlock with 30 bandages and appear on the over world map before the 1st chapter of the main game.
- Super Meat World will act as a Hub for full chapters hand picked by Team Meat.

- All chapters uploaded to Xbla after this update will be featured here.

- Select chapters will also be uploaded to Xblas "internets" chapter as well.

- Many selected chapters will be character specific and created by designers like Matt Thorson (jumper / give up robot), Gaijin Games (bit.trip series), Michael "Kayin" O'Reilly (I wanna be the guy) and many more.

But! by far the coolest aspect of Super Meat World is your ability to "Enter the Unknown".

Enter the unknown is a PC specific feature that grabs random user made levels from the level portal and arranges them in order of difficulty.
- When Players enter the unknown they will choose what difficulty they want to play.

- The unknown will only feature levels ranked 3+ on over all fun factor.

- Every time you play will be a totally new set of levels, endless content.

PC :bow2

This game is way way way better than N+. That game's too floaty and momentum-based for me, plus I hate collecting yellow squares to extend the time limit. SMB has better controls, characters, level design, graphics, music, and way more variety.

N+ has good multiplayer options though. Too bad all of my friends suck at it too much so I could never complete the last co-op episodes. :-\

Started playing this yesterday, and it is awesome-wowsome. I've finished the first chapter so far, although I'm unsure if I've properly cleared the warp zones... The only time I got a reward was for the Commander Video one, for all the other three in the first chapter I just got a sad chime and got thrown back to the map. Supposed to be like this? Hehe. Same for the minuslevel as well.

Man, the Hell boss level is just plain awful. Why did they suddenly decide that it was cool to throw in a genuinely cheap level? There's no skill here, it's just memorizing the boss's moves until you can finally predict when and where he's going to hit with his fists/head. Worst level by far.  :yuck
Title: Re: Super Meat Boy G|OT|Y 8====D~~
Post by: cool breeze on December 27, 2010, 06:17:17 PM
any controller can be used but to remap or getting it to work properly requires this: http://code.google.com/p/x360ce/  (thingie that lets you trick it into believing your saturn/other controller is a 360 pad)

the game, afaik, doesn't use xinput, but it does map buttons (1, 2, etc.) as they correspond to the 360 controller.  it is a bit funky that they don't allow you to remap things within the game but it is what it is.

personally I use my wii classic controller pro.  I needed to remap all the buttons so they turn clockwise once since it literally mapped letters to numbers.  The 360 pad is A/S, B/W, X/E, Y/N and nintendo controllers since the saturn is the same turned counter-clockwise.  That problem most likely didn't present itself with the saturn pad since Microsoft basically adopted their button letter layout from Sega.  AB instead of BA and all that.

Yeah PC version running on Win 7 64.  XAB are mapped to ABC on the saturn pad respectively.  Right trigger on the saturn pad is run.  The other buttons do other stuff but I can't be sure.  I have too much spittle on my monitor from frothing at the mouth in rage to care.

Just started playing this, I've been just trying to get through the main game for now, then go back to the Dark World/Warp Zone/Glitch levels. Any guides as to what levels contain warp zones and bandages?

Also for the "beat a whole chapter without dying", do you need to beat the boss as well? How does it work, you just start on level 1 of the chapter and advance by pressing "A" when you beat the level? I made it to level 20 of chapter 1 then I died :P

Now the real challenge begins.... I'm working on 100%ing the game now. World 1 at 100%, onto World 2!

Great game but I would be lying if I said it didn't frustrate the shit out of me. I've got really sore hands now and I must have said "FUCK" at least 100 times tonight.

A+ in nearly every stage except 1 from hell and a couple others, but most worlds levels all A+... Such an amazing platformer, in fact best platformer I've ever played
