I hope the series makes a _real_ comeback someday, because it deserves a spot on the pantheon of platformers.

      the biggest misconception surrounding Forever is that it's a mobile autorunner. It's not :) The levels consist of _hand-crafted_ segments, which are put in random order (for each save). The levels are just like in the original game, and there also exists worlds and dark levels for each world, and the whole thing plays like a story campaign with bosses included. The only thing is that Meat Boy auto-runs to the right so you can't control his movement, but the levels fully embrace this and are ingeniously crafted around that. The marketing for this game seems to have been lacking and the word-of-mouth wasn't positive, so a lot of people have a negative thoughts about Forever without even trying it -- including me, before I got it for cheap and had the blast of my life :)

      apart from the art style, Forever is a worthy sequel if you embrace the new control scheme. It's NOT a traditional auto-runner, which the marketing had you and me believe. Meat Boy auto-runs to the right yes, but the game consists of actual levels, worlds, bosses and characters and secrets, and tons of stuff, and it's super hard and challenging, and rewarding :) the levels consist of hand-crafted segments, but their order is random, that is all.

    I still have no clue why they invested nearly 10 years into SMBF’s development. The premise of a Meat Boy mobile auto-runner spin-off was reasonable in 2013, but to grind that concept out into the mainline sequel is bizarre. I have a bad feeling Meat Boy’s future is going to look like a bunch of spin-offs under the guise of continuity.

      once you realize that Forever is NOT your traditional mobile auto-runner, but an actuall full-fledged game with levels and worlds and bosses and extra, and that the level design _is_ hand-crafted and super witty and hard and rewarding (only the order of segments is random), you'll realize it's worthy of being a sequel (but the art style isn't the best 😅).

    Even though my controller and my nerves will hate if it’s similar, but in the end it would be worth it.

      i used to think the same and utterly hated Forever in every way, UNTIL i grabbed it for $2 on the eshop, and it was the MOST ENJOYABLE gaming experience i had in years. The game was nothing like what I thought an "auto-runner" would be, and that's because it really isn't a mobile auto-runner. There are actual levels, worlds, and levels consist of hand-crafted, wittily designed segments (that are in random order), and Meat Boy auto-runs to right. But that mechanism is fully embraced and everything is designed around it for fast-paced action-packed hair-pulling super challenging and super rewarding experience. Go give it a try next time it's on sale for $1-2, and I promise your controllers will fear for their lives ;)

    The original Super Meat Boy is legitimately one of my favorite games of all time for its precise controls, its great level design and that INCREDIBLE soundtrack. Forever has NONE of those things, it's Meat Boy in name only. It's a shame that, with Edmund and Danny B gone, we'll probably never get a real Meat Boy sequel.

    • @zainmushtaq4347
      @zainmushtaq4347 9 днів тому

      apart from the new soundtrack, Forever has AMAZING level design. I was blown away by how witty, how genius and how super hard and yet super rewarding the _whole_ game was. I used to be like you, utterly hating on Forever as a die-hard SMB fan, but once I got to try out forever for cheap on my switch, 30 hours went by just like that in a month and I had a blast completing the main game. There are actual levels in forever, and they consist of hand-crafted segments, but they're in random order is all. And Meat Boy auto-running to the right is fully embraced and the level design is carefully crafted to leverage that and introduce new elements that make it an intense experience. Up for the challenge? ;)

  • @TheNixedOne
    @TheNixedOne Місяць тому +6

    As someone who has participated in the community since 2018 and been creating custom levels for Super Meat Boy, I agree with some points.
    The one thing that I usually hear when talking to other people about Super Meat Boy is that nobody has made a proper sequel or at least a proper spiritual successor to the actual game (I mean this in gameplay). I know that TEIN exists, but we're talking 1:1 or pretty close to 1:1. The closest I've been able to suggest in terms of more Super Meat Boy is custom levels, but that only goes so far and usually can't improve on core mechanics to provide a better experience. There is a mod that's being worked on called "Super Meat Boy: Revamped", which I hope will bring more people into the game and hopefully into the modding/level editing scene.
    While Super Meat Boy is an excellent game, it has some issues that need fixing. The game can be very buggy at times and some levels like in Dark Cotton Alley aren't very fun to play.
    However, in terms of Super Meat Boy Forever.
    Super Meat Boy Forever isn't exactly the sequel I would like from a Super Meat Boy game. While yes, they can technically do whatever they want with it, it's such a stark difference from its predecessor that if it were to actually improve on anything, that it still wouldn't matter very much. The fact that it's so divergent will alienate people who played the original. I wouldn't say that Super Meat Boy Forever is exactly a bad game, in fact, I'd say it's okay. There's some things that I didn't like about it, but somethings that I did. I'll list off some of things that weren't already said in the video or that I disagree with. But most of it is positive stuff.
    Some of the references in the level names are cool, "Didn't Wet The Sponge" or "V Will Come" are very cool, even if it's something very minor.
    Some of the gimmicks can be very interesting if used correctly. I haven't played the game in ages, but I'm sure there was a level where if you jumped, you'd be running on the ceiling instead. Kind of like VVVVVV.
    Dark Tetanus was one of the best chapters in the entire game, it was probably the only thing I played more than once that wasn't required for completion. The crates are super satisfying to use too.
    Something that I did notice is that you never actually mentioned Tofu Boy in Meat Boy Forever. While I never played as him or got that far, I do know that he's the only character in the game who has different statistics, even if they don't help you very much.
    While I didn't experiment with the level editor in Forever as much as the Super Meat Boy one, I appreciate that everything is available to use instead of having it restricted to a certain palette.
    The Dark World levels are visually interesting. Instead of having a silhouette every two levels, you can now have a noir level or a gradient level. While you could technically go and do this kind of stuff in the original Super Meat Boy, it was never done officially in game and it wasn't to this scale.
    Mean Meat Machine though, is pretty bad in my opinion, and is something I wouldn't want to play again. The fact that you are punished really hard for something that would've been better if you just lost that puyo is actually infuriating. I only went up to the Hospital before calling it quits. I got bored and it was just... not very good. I love Puyo Puyo, I like puzzle games, but Mean Meat Machine isn't it. IMO, this is my least favorite Meat Boy game, excluding Tofu Boy.
    I probably screwed up somewhere along these lines, maybe I said something that I shouldn't have or have messed up what I should've said. I just wanted to get my thoughts out on this subject.

And the new control mechanism in Forever were fully embraced in the level design and gameplay, so while they were different from SMB, they still offer depth of their own. Forever is just more fast-paced bc of that, and that may not be your taste if you liked the slowness and careful platforming of the original game, and that's okay. To me, the fast-paced nature better suited my taste :)

There are actual levels, worlds, secrets, characters to unlock, boss fights, a story, etc. Nothing like traditional mobile auto-runners, which I also thought for years until I finally got to try the game. The great thing about Forever is that since Meat Boy is always auto-running to the right, once you die, you instantly respawn and start running automatically, so the action is non-stop and super rewarding once you finally beat a level :D

    its kinda sad how the face of indie games the reason why we such some awesome indie games that are better than AAA games is now dead
    and also there's another reason why super meat boy forever failed
    the reason is that in the original super meat boy in the credits we could see that edmund was the artist and the MAIN level designer, tommy was the programmer and the level designer but tommy was less important because he wasn't the MAIN designer and, because edmund left team meat tommy is now alone he has less skill than edmund in level designing snd that's why the level design in super meat boy forever is kinda bare-bones
    edmund now is "the isaac guy" and although i like isaac more than meat boy its kinda sad how meat boy is kinda... left alone in a bad sequel...

      i was blown away by the incredibly witty and satisfying level design in Forever, to my own surprise. I went in expecting a hollow mobile spin-off, but got one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences in years :)

    Tbh I kinda like Forever. Yeah, it's got a ton of issues, very little soul and it's certainly no masterpiece like the original, but I still had fun playing it through and through and feel its well worth the cost considering it often goes for 90% off on steam for a couple bucks. The real SMB sequel is still truly The End is Nigh though.

      as a former die-hard SMB fan that utterly hated Forever bc of ppl saying it was a mobile auto-runner, once I got it for $1-2 on eshop last year, I can honestly say I've not this much fun in YEARS in gaming. I dare even say that it was _more_ fun that the original SMB, just bc I love fast-paced games, and the level design in Forever was soo satisfying, challening, witty and rewarding and perfect for playing handheld on the switch. I also got to try Celeste before that having heard a lot of great stuff about it, but it just didn't click with me.

    2:05 you mean bloatware that, ironically, makes it eat RAM almost like Chrome?
