Is This an Auto-Runner?

To describe Super Meat Boy Forever as an auto-runner would be a disservice. It’s like saying that Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a game about a swordsman. Meat Boy / Bandage Girl do always run, but there is so much more to the game than running. They can attack enemies, they can dash through the air, there are tons of levels, there are bosses, there are secrets, and there is a surprising amount of difficulty that doesn’t feel unfair. It’s everything you would expect a Super Meat Boy sequel to be. Super Meat Boy Forever is a Super Meat Boy game that you can play anywhere on pretty much any device that’s powerful enough to run it!

What is Dynamically Constructed? Why Not Say Procedurally Generated?

“Procedurally generated” is an overused term that applies to a wide range of things. While the levels are randomly generated, they aren’t truly random and their creation is heavily based on criteria we’ve designed and tested. Each level consists of hundreds of carefully designed “chunks” that are placed together to create a level. Chunks are selected randomly from pools that are categorized by difficulty by us. Each time you beat a level, an increased difficulty criteria is used to generate the harder version of that level. Also, levels need to have a certain cadence to them so they don’t feel like just random stuff thrown at you. We’ve worked on a system that allows us to give a criteria of difficulty and pacing that makes the levels randomly, but still within the confines of what we want the levels to be presented as. Oh and also, it sounds way cooler than “procedurally generated”.

Just call it a Procedurally Generated Auton-Runner, you pompous dolts.

Some people in the Switch thread mentioned that the PS3 port of No More Heroes is pretty bad, is it actually bad or just Nintendo fanboys?
Assume I'd much rather play it on a proper controller rather than dumb waggle.

Framerate tanks frequently, looooooong load times at points, the graphical style they went with for the NMH1 assets look terrible especially compared to all the improvements in NMH2, the only things they added were an Easy mode, a model viewer and a boss rush that includes a couple NMH2 bosses. It's not a good port, either of the times they released it on the PS3.

I like to believe that there's a heated divide in the Twister group that never goes away, the use of non-balloon props with the balloons vs those staunchly opposed to any non-balloon prop. Many a heated debate, testing friendships and comraderies leading to temporary, reluctant truces between sides of the forums.

I didn't really have any expectations for this game going in but even still. The fan made remake of 2 is a better Metroid game than this so far.

Shockingly, you haven't backed down from something you convinced yourself was true back in June. Confirmation bias sure is a funny thing.

This is also true. A lot of people just like to put it on a pedestal it doesn't inhabit just to pretend they don't like shounen

MHA is good shonen cause the side characters get to actually do things and also the conflicts with the would be emo shits are handled in a mature way instead of the standard rival cliches

I mean there's like 6 characters in the classroom that might as well not exist

I'd argue that there really isn't a point to playing them past the first one, because they all have the same plot.

At least the first game had actual cases to solve and not the random bullshit the second game had.

I don't know much about the series aside from their setups and some context-less spoilers. Is there anything you can tell me to explain why the second game is so bad? Feel free to spoil me, I'm likely never gonna play them.

The cases in the second game are really bad (other than a certain one which is admittedly amazing and better than anything in 1) and involve logic and motives that the player has no ability to reason ahead of time. Case 2 has one character give us her alibi as to why she couldn't be the killer, as she was swimming in the ocean at the time. This goes into a segue about something odd she noticed about the island while she was swimming and was meant as a hint to the mystery of the island that they're on and whatnot. It turns out that she was the culprit though and she never went swimming...which somehow doesn't undo the mystery she said she discovered while swimming. It's just bad writing and this is not the only example.

EDIT:

Hmm, maybe DR3 will be good after all.

I don't remember them talking about the island but all the characters hung out at the beach before the case, and even the main character makes an observation about the island in the chapter before so there's nothing farfetched about people seeing weird stuff.

Go back and read the part of Case 2 where the culprit shows up to the diner in her swimsuit with the rest of them. It only makes sense if she isn't the culprit, but she is.
