From the review:
"This game is hard. Really hard. If you are one of the folks who thought challenging platform games such as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, N+, or ‘Splosion Man were a bit too tough, then Super Meat Boy probably isn’t for you. If you can’t stand the thought of replaying the same stage at least a hundred times just to collect a bandage, let alone beat the level, then Super Meat Boy probably isn’t for you. If you need a compelling story with deep levels of character development, then Super Meat Boy probably isn’t for you. So, just who is Super Meat Boy for? In a nutshell, you could say it’s for masochistic hardcore gamers who enjoy a ridiculous challenge with a bit of old-school flair."
Microsoft is a little slow this month when it comes to announcing the Games with Gold lineup for June 2022. This has led to the lineup leaking ahead of the announcement.
This is just plain sad, they are basically charging you for online and that's it, I guess this goes hand in hand with the "tell me you only play AAA games without telling me you only play AAA games"
Both Gamepass and Gold games offerings have gone way downhill.
Super Meat Boy was a Games with Gold title back in 2016..It's leftover Meat from 2016
I actually really enjoyed Aven Colony when it was on Gamepass. I got it for free from Epic Store a few months back.
I’ll give it another go.
Sure, there was online gaming back in the day but the modern age of online video gaming began almost twenty years ago with Xbox Live 1.0.
Haha. Yep. To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today.
That is arguable seeing as how good similar PC services are these days. The lack of cheaters on console is the closed ecosystem rather than extra effort by MS/Sony
"To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today."
The horrible lag back then was due to peole not having the speeds needed to run games, peoples internet speeds were all over the place. Hacking is as bad today, if not worse than back then. People now have access to sophisticated hacking programmes that were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today. Anticheat software was also available way before Xbox Live and the paid online services became a thing.
I gamed online a lot from 1999 onwards and had great times playing without having issues with people cheating and no one had to pay for an online subscription.
"Now that we finally have a sequel to the iconic super-difficult indie platformer, let's examine both and see which one's the meat to beat." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Vote for either Super Meat Boy or Super Meat Boy Forever at the bottom of the article! 🎮😄
looks like a really fun game to play
Hmmmm this looks pretty fun. But I gotta save my cash for RDR zombie pack next week so this one is going to have to go on the back burners for now. However, i have been longing for a difficult platformer since I used to play so many of them back in the day. Maybe I'll see how it is or try a demo if it has one
