Y'know, I just don't get it. I've played the first couple of worlds of Super Meat Boy and it seems to me this game is getting all the attention just because it's difficult. But being difficult doesn't make a game good. Most difficult games that are good are usually only so because they have something inventive or charming about them. SMB had sloppy controls, short levels based only around being dickish about killing you over and over, and in general an attempt to be too "cool" about itself without realizing just how silly it is. I think people are flipping their lid over nothing. Granted, Team Meat put a lot of work into making a LOT of content for the game. But when your only selling point is that you're difficult and there's a lot of the game to play? That's just stupid that gamers jump all over that like they haven't played a hard game in years. The good thing about SMB at least is the save of progress after every level, which honestly puts this only slightly above DKCR in difficulty since they both do that. DKCR also had actual platforming challenge instead of just lots of saws to kill you and need for memorization and nothing else.
Does anybody really take these hacks seriously? If they could actually design original character models instead of reskins I would. They just feel so cheap to me like this.
Really? You thought the controls were sloppy? What makes the game playable is that it DOES have GREAT controls.
To me, the game was like a fancy version of N+. Controls were spot-on.
That said, I think the game is great and fun, but is getting a bit more press than it probably should. It's just a really well-marketed game. Now, if it had multiplayer, a-la N+, I would say it needed more hype.

Eat a dick. SMB has some of the tightest controls in the game. People aren't praising it because it's difficult, b ut for the challenge and creativity the levels present as you play it. It gives you different ways on how you can use your extrordinary jumping skills to solve this map. The added characters gives it more variety. VVVVVV with his gravity changing, Headcrab with his wall running, Mr. Minecraft with his cheap as hell mining are a few examples.
So there, go eat a dick.

To answer your question, people do take them seriously.
But they also know where to look :)

I find it rather amusing that least year Holmes said that he wouldn't count on SMB hitting 360.
Especially amusing since it's not on the Wii anymore.

W Psycho Terror- I am simultaneously amused and insulted. Great job!
@ Matt Welch- The difficulty isn't what makes Super Meat Boy special. It's the expertly designed levels and character physics. Learning to play the game well has almost nothing to do with memorization. The levels are all so short that there is very little to memorize.
The game is all about simultaneously strengthening your gameplay strategies and your reflexes, and pushing the limits on how good you can get. Given that the game uses just two buttons, there is an incredible learning curve. There is a huge difference between someone who is OK as Super Meat Boy and someone who is great at Super Meat Boy. Only once you see yourself really begin to improve at the game do you see how brilliantly designed it is.
I implore you to play through a few chapters and see for yourself.

Oop, meant to type "@ Psych Terror"
And @ Z Serv- I was just going by what Team Meat was telling me at the time. Things have really changed for the Wii since last year (for the worse).

"Eat a dick"
There is no need for that kind of language. The guy is just giving his opinion there is no need to start throwing around stuff like that. It also makes you look silly and often people wont take you seriously.

Gonna agree with Teta on this one. That looks really sloppily mashed together. Compared to some of the other hacks there are out there, it makes it evermore evident.

This may surprise you, but people are allowed to have their own opinions. He doesn't have to like Super Meat Boy.
