Start a thread.

Oh, yes, please.

Also I just bought some points for this, now I'll have enough leftover for the new Borderlands DLC. Sweet.

 

[pseudomyxoma]

Hey guys I was going to create a thread but I figured there'd be enought xbots in here to help answer the question. Should I sell my 360?

Also I was going to buy this at 1200 points but at 800 this looks like a steal

First all..Xbots??

Second, no dude wtf.

 

[toythatkills]

There is one code to be found in the game

What does that mean? :/

 

[TxdoHawk]

What does that mean? :/

Probably a controller code, I'd guess.

mixed up your gamefaqs/neogaf bookmarks?

 

[DancingJesus]

:lol Well done.

Interesting quick inside look into the creation of Super Meat Boy:

It always feels good supporting guys like these. Can't wait to get my copy tomorrow.

My only concern is that I really hope it controls well with the analog since I can't stand the 360 D-Pad.

 

[Gowans]

What does that mean? :/

They were very cryptic.

They reveal it near the end here

Any idea how long the "limited time only sale" is?

Going away tomorrow for a couple of days, will be more than likely picking this up at the weekend (hopefully for 800 ) .

November. You should be fine.

 

[Chris R]

800 points sounds tempting but since I'd be forced to use the 360 Dpad I'm still going to wait for PC

You have perfect control over Meat Boy with the analogue stick.

Unfortunately I couldn't fit it into the thread title and have it still make sense, but November 21st is the day the price goes up.

Your controller doesnt have analog sticks?

 

[Boonoo]

He could have a Saturn pad. Anyone know how much it will be for PC? It's a bummer I have to wait a month (no xbox). This looks fantastic.

Edit: Oh, I see what you were saying now.

It'll be $15 on Steam

 

[Darkgran]

Holy cow..this game has not even been on my radar. But after seeing some videos and it now being 800 points...Day freaking one.

Fantastic - my points card will be here by then. Decided on Costume Quest (if demo good) then this as I really don't need controller breaking in work breaks but will love it like my own child once the work is done.

 

[RPS37]

I guess someone visited the 1200 pt/$15 DD game thread or something, because I sure as hell wasn't gonna bother with this game at 1200 pts but definitely will at 800 pts. Great move

Exactly. Instabuy.

Noice!

Why would I play a 2d platformer with analog sticks when I can use a good Dpad?

 

[Salsa]

Why would I play a 2d platformer with analog sticks when I can use a good Dpad?

The devs say it plays great with the analog stick. Its the way they play it.

 

[Gribbix]

Why would I play a 2d platformer with analog sticks when I can use a good Dpad?

The analog stick is the developers' preferred control method for the game.

http://twitter.com/#!/SuperMeatBoy/status/24832057528

Dear Everyone: Just because its a platformer, it doesn't mean you can't play it with an Analog stick. Ed and I use the Analog exclusively.

http://twitter.com/#!/SuperMeatBoy/status/27515057435

its actually better with the analog.. honestly. youll see when you get it

 

[Psychotext]

If it's anything like N+ then the analogue stick should work perfectly.

 

[Mr. B Natural]

They're probably working in good use of the sensitivity of analog...?

I remember the old meat boy game being obnoxious on PC with my keyboard because I would have to do super-quick taps in order to make those small adjustments the game required to get past the difficult stages. Tap too little - don't go anywhere. Tap a little too much - fall down the ledge.

 

[Jonsoncao]

Hi, I am an xbot, whats up? :lol :lol

I think its mostly because there's no up or down. Left and right are your only directions so its perfectly playable with an analog stick.

 

[see5harp]

Hey at least a few guys got the joke. This game is day one.

 

[Slayer-33]

Day fucking one, for the price of a plain med or so cheese pizza here in NYC, these guys DESERVE your support. Make them millionaires.


I didn't even know about this gem til today.

"We hope you guys appreciate this early xmas gift," says developer Team Meat. "Your positive comments, fan art, and donations when Edmund was in the hospital have been greatly appreciated. We are more than happy to give a little back."

This is what it's all about, time to fucking make them make it big time.

 

[Ranger X]

800 points? woooot!

Not that I wasn't completely sold already but I will soooo buy this tomorrow for sure!

 

[~Kinggi~]

I must say, some great games really come out of nowhere. Never heard of this game before i watched Brad's quick look.

I think dropping the price is smart given all the crazy high reviews its getting. They could be on the verge of a mega-hit.

Im gonna buy it, and i rarely buy XBL stuff. Last 2 games i got were case zero and Limbo. Thats was it for this year on XBL.

 

[DancingJesus]

Looks like the fine folks over at Giant Bomb talked a good portion about Super Meat Boy:

http://www.giantbomb.com/podcast/

 

[VGChampion]

When it comes out for the other consoles I'll decide if it plays better on a joystick. I don't really care how a developer plays something, I like 2d games with a Dpad.

 

[Lonely1]

So, the other systems release is set to some time in November?

 

[Arucardo]

Oh cool, thought I had less than 800 points on my live account, turns out I have a bit over 1000. I hope this deal isn't just for gold members is it?

I hate Microsoft's shitty Allards system. I have 1060 points in my account. The system is basically designed so that you always have some useless amount of points left.

Whoa, that's the exact same amount that I have :lol .

 

[GWX]

So, the other systems release is set to some time in November?

Looks like it's late november, and the WiiWare version is not really confirmed to be released that date, from what I've read.
I hate this one month exclusivity crap: first Lara Croft, now this!

Spoiler

And Steam users probably won't get the 33% discount...

 

[Backfoggen]

I also have 1060 left, what the hell. :lol

 

[Mar]

I'm all over this game. Like meat on a stick.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Super Meat Boy |OT| On Sale for 800 MS Points until Nov. 21

http://twitter.com/#!/SuperMeatBoy/status/24832057528

http://twitter.com/#!/SuperMeatBoy/status/27515057435

Cool for them, I'll be using a dpad playing on my PC

Spoiler

Plus, I only have 60 space bucks and I'm not buying more to have them just sit around

 

[ScrabbleDude]

I don't have 800 Allards. But I do want this. I'm glad the demo has so much content, I'll definitely check it out.

 

[Square Triangle]

800 pts? Perfect!

 

[Shurs]

The Ogmo warp zone is enough to drive a man to drink.

 

[Apath]

The Giant Bomb Quick Look + 800MSP sold me on this game.

 

[snack]

I'm snagging this on day one. It looks like a beauty!

 

[TheLegendary]

The Giant Bomb Quick Look + 800MSP sold me on this game.

Indeed. Going to be a good week of Arcade games.

 

[Daigoro]

800 pts is a great price. Its been a while since I've played a good platformer. Ill check this sucker out tomorrow.

 

[2Crisis]

Pretty much expected after the Quicklook but the GiantBomb review is up:
http://www.giantbomb.com/super-meat-boy/61-25114/reviews/

5/5 meatboys.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

sorry if this is well known info, but what time does this become available? 12am west coast?

 

[FunkyMunkey]

I was on the fence about this game, and then I saw it would be $10. And as I was teetering off of it, I listened to some of the 8-bit tracks and flew off the fence at 100mph.
