Yeah. You're a stingy fucker. Because that's downright cheap for what is undeniably one of the best platformers ever made.

To me it seems expensive for an extended version of something free. I think I'm just being shallow and judging it by the fact that it looks and plays exactly like the Flash game it evolved from.

It neither looks nor plays like the flash game. It is also in no way an "extension" of the flash game.

I felt the same way about Alien Hominid, I didn't really like it anyways so that doesn't matter I guess. I'm also too terrible at Super Meat Boy to want to buy it either.

The difference is that Alien Hominid isn't a particularly well made game.

I do understand not wanting it because of difficulty, though. Because I have never played a platformer as brutal as Super Meat Boy. If the controls weren't absolute perfection then many of the levels would be impossible.

Eyeeh... *Tilts head and hand from side to side* I'm still not completely on board with this one. Not enough to put 8 quid down. Sorry. Maybe if they do a Midweek Madness.

I'm not saying that you should buy it. I am saying that you shouldn't try to rationalize your cheapness by saying things that aren't even remotely true.

You cannot tell me it doesn't look like the Flash game. It does. I have a pefectly functional pair of eyes, thank you. There's nothing wrong with how it looks, it just gives the impression that they haven't done much with it. I'm aware that isn't the case, but it doesn't help.

It doesn't. It has the same general art style, but other than that it doesn't look or play like the flash game.

You're telling me this

doesn't look like this.

They didn't even get rid of the square tiles, for goodness sake.

Again, it has the same general art direction. But saying that Super Meat Boy looks and plays like Meat Boy is like saying that Super Mario Bros. looks and plays like Mario Bros. Yes, there are turtles, and that guy running around is Mario, but it is absolutely a different game with different controls, and a different feel.

Also, the square tiles are there to make the level editor easy to use. Which you pc cunts get, and I don't. So, the game that you are getting is actually better than the one that I got which I would have paid twice the amount that I did for. In all seriousness, you don't run across platforming perfection every day. What they accomplished is extraordinary.

I mean, hell's bells. Check this out:

I'd say it's more like the comparrison between Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros 3. Similar goals and challenges, but SMB3 had better challenges, more stuff and was longer.

EDIT: And that stuff about a diferent feel

Holy shit. That game looks a lot better in HD.

Also, I've yet to get that far. I'm on the chapter called 'The End', second-to-last level. I don't think I'll get much further.

I assure you, I will be playing this game. The Steam release is tomorrow, I'd expect them to have a demo. But fuck it, I'm just a kid without a proper disposable income. If I can find a reason not to spend money, I'll seize it.

Did I mention we also get about 5 extra characters and achievements? :tard:

Have you done any of the Dark World yet?

I completely agree. In fact, I felt slightly disingenuous saying that it was Mario Bros. vs. Super Mario Bros. because they are so vastly different. SMB and SMB 3 is a much more fitting analogy.


I'm glad to hear it, because if you like platformers, and are any good at them, you should play this. Also, you'll definitely get a demo, but make sure you play the dark world in it, because if you only play the demo's light world then the game will seem boring.

Yeah, I've finished the first world's dark world, and a bit of world two. I've been juggling a lot of games along with school, friends, etc. that it's been difficult. I can only imagine if I had a job.

I really do want to continue playing it, though. Just taking a break 'cause that game is freaking brutal at times.

New Elder Scrolls. http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/11/elder-scrolls-5/
I came

I, too, just came.

Ms. Splosion man, coming 2011.



Sorry for that mess of numbers on the top of the video, it was the embedding.

Holy shit. Now the tutu will be a badge of honor instead of a sign of cowardice.

I love 'Splosion Man. I'm excited.

The what what now?!

Holy Fuck!!! I cant wait for this!!!

Super Meatboy is one hard ass game. Hideously fun though

You can get the first episode for free.

Just saying that VGA starts pretty soon and it's rumoured that they'll reveal Prototype 2, Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3, Resistance 3, a new Resident Evil and possible a new Left 4 Dead.

Mass Effect 3 was leaked a while ago, it's true and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is confirmed already.

EDIT: http://atdhe.net/tv/watch_spiketv.html < Watch VGA!

HOLY PENIS, THEY JUST ANNOUNCED Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 11.11.'11!

EDIT 2: Resistance 3! Looks alright.

EDIT 3: Prototype 2, Mass Effect 3 and shitloads of cool stuff!

EDIT 4: A new SSX game, Uncharted 3 and lots and lots of commercials finished up the show.

I'm disappointed that there was no Saints Row 3 or Resident Evil 6. :/

Akatosh! Fuck yeah!

Deus Ex! Fuck yeah!



Bonus points for believeably unnecessary cyber-implants. When 2027 comes around the first thing I'm doing is getting myself a pair of mentally-operated sunglasses.

I never thought I'd say this, but 2027 really isn't far enough in to the future.

Also, that newsreader's voice is really annoying.

The Elder Scrolls trailer didn't thrill me that much, it was good, but a gameplay trailer would be even better. Glad it's coming though.
