The cutscene when you beat chapter 2 made me laugh harder than I ever had at a video game before, this game is amazing.

Wait what? It's 3D? I never would have guessed.Draft said:
It auto-saves. Well... it should. There is a save bug. You can spot if by checking the map for recently collected bandages. If they show up the game is saving. If they don't, reboot the game cause it's fucked.eznark said:

I think (assume may be more accurate) that it's that Flash-style vector based 2D.Draft said:

Fucksake. Appears I had the save bug too. Lost all of the levels on "The Internets" and "The Hospital" dark side. Really, really annoyed right now.

Does that make a difference? They all showed as completed on the map yesterday, but today they're all gone.Danielsan said:

Well I loved the demo but I think I'm going to wait for the patch to buy the game. Leaderboard bugs in a score attack game + save bugs in an incredibly challenging game are not a good combination.

N+ had a very similar save "bug" (in quotes because they noted it was intentional) and it was never addressed.Stumpokapow said:
The gist of it for N+ is that there is a time frame for a game to write to the GamerTag (the data is saved there, not locally) and because N+ levels could be beaten very quickly, they could not save after every level was completed, so it was purposely set to only save when you exited to the menu. Of course, that's off memory for a couple of years old game so I might have a fact slightly off or so.

I Wanna Be the Guy and its ilk are horrible, awful games.
It saddens me to hear that there are levels like that in this game.

Make a habit of watching, or saving, a replay before quitting the game. That should trigger the autosave.Psychotext said:

good to hear! If only they would roll up a fix in there for not having to reload the glitch/warp worlds every time you want to replay them as well.. even just a 'you failed, retry?' y/n type prompt.Nabs said:

Tried the demo out last night and really enjoyed it a lot, I think I'm going to go ahead and purchase the full game tonight!

IWBTG isn't the most refined game ever, and its use of the "unfair difficulty" gimmick me be off-putting to some. But, I remember enjoying it heavily, and getting addicted to it, even though I was pretty much continually dying and being pushed to the brink of insanity due to continual frustrations.Princess Skittles said:
The game is quite an experience, I'll say. It deserves its cult following. It also deserves to go down in the book of video game legends.
I'm glad The Kid, among many other characters, is getting represented in Super Meat Boy.

I bet a lot of people will get the 100% achievement without actually doing everything. I have 128% on the first world because of the save glitch, so I would assume that I will get 100% overall sooner than I should.

The warp zone where you unlock
are super tough. I've made it through levels 1 and 2 which were hard enough but you need super fast reaction times for 3.
The Kid
Damn this is a great game. I just A+ graded all the light world levels. My statistics.
I also took a bad quality video of me A+ grading the last level of the game. Obvious spoilers in the video if you don't want to see the last level:

You get the achievement when you complete the last chapter. Suffragette (You've beaten the Cotten Alley all by yourself!)
Well - just bought this. Didnt think I would enjoy it, but played the demo last night and was blown away by it. Didnt pull the trigger last night since I had already bought Costume Quest, but after reading the thread - navigated over to xbox.com and went ahead and snagged it.
Cant wait to play it this evening and die 1,000 times :lol

Is anyone else playing this like me?
Light World, Dark World, Light World... etc. Seems everyone I've spoken to is going through all the light world stuff first.

I played through the demo last night. It's very cute, and it controls well, but a couple of the levels in the demo greatly frustrated me with their difficulty and that's just something I can't deal with that much any more. I guess I suck now, and as I've gotten older I find the stress from work is enough stress for me.
I can see the game is high quality so I wish these guys the best, though.

I was blitzing through the light world but I've gone back and 100% the Forest and working my way through doing the same for the Hospital now. Not as hard as I'd expected, there's only been one bandage that took me about 100 deaths to get. In the end I had to change to Gish to get it, there's no way Meat Boy would be able to do it. No way.
I need a break, just beat light world
. The Kid levels are all about precision perfection - I appreciate and get behind that, this sort of thing just made me put the controller down because I didn't enjoy the type of challenge it was offering.
I'll probably ace it tomorrow with a break, but that was a bummer way to end the evening.
Wait, what do you mean it's 4:30am? FUCK
and that damn cotton rocket turret chasing you obstacle course is the only time I've had no fun with the mechanics

Love the game so far. Part of the reason is that the levels are short. They avoid the cheap difficulty inflation effect of being too long and making you repeat big chunks of gameplay.
I am annoyed by the warp/secret levels, though. They abandon the instant-retry of the conventional levels and are much more frustrating as a result.
