At least the game won't screw you over with chaos control. I don't remember what it does in the maze levels, nothing useful I'm assuming.

I love the ULTIMATE HEDGEHOG ending for a variety of reasons, among them being- why the gently caress is Diablon here? He doesn't say anything or do anything except be a boss. I feel like they probably intended to have a straight up Sonic boss fight but it got cut for some reason and so the commander is just here to fight. Also how Shadow ignores the final boss to beat Sonic up for no reason.

Holy poo poo yes Lost Impact is absolutely the worst level in the game and one of the lowest points of a series that has been plagued by low points. There are so many horrible things compounded upon each other. The level is huge and filled with copy-pasted corridors, and you have to find 35 of those loving chaos fuckers who of course have long health bars just to add insult to injury, and there are those slow as poo poo elevators everywhere, and the even slower rail shooter sections that don't even try to be engaging. They don't even really give you something to shoot at, it's just waiting. There's nothing remotely resembling compelling gameplay in this entire shitfest of a level. And if you miss one of those giant blue assholes in this labyrinth of completely identical corridors linked by identical elevators and identical rail-shooters then you are hosed. Good luck finding out which part of the level you didn't visit. My first time playing this stage took me over 40 minutes. 40 loving minutes in a series about going fast! And guess what? They made this the second to last level of the route, so if you don't play your cards right (which has a good chance of happening if you're playing this for the first time without clairvoyance) you have to do the artificial chaos fetch quest in order to get the ending you're aiming for. gently caress this stage, gently caress everyone involved in its existence, and gently caress everyone who defends this game as "not being that bad, Sonic 06 is way worse". No. Shut up. gently caress you. I'd rather play as Silver the Hedgehog 100 times than be subjected to this abomination even once. At least I'd have some bad physics to laugh at. Sega could've just replaced this level with a giant middle finger and it would been kind in comparison. I hate it, it's terrible. I'm loving angry about hedgehogs!  EDIT: By the way, did you know that you can speed up the turret sections? 'Cuz I didn't!

I've always felt like the Phantasy Star Online dev team got handed this title or something. The level designs go on way too long, are strange and maze-like (Lost Impact's corridor maze flat out feels like the Caves/Mine areas from PSO) and the art direction absolutely feels like PSO with the weird bio-organic-magical-shiny weapons and enemies. More than anything though it never ceases to amaze me just how bad the game looks. Everything is ugly and cluttered, low textured, and the framerate feels all over the place. Sonic Heroes was a step down compared to SA2, but this feels like a Dreamcast beta at times.

I was gonna say, it's pretty great how the ending variety is just Shadow discovering another ~aspect of his deep personality~, with all of those endings being virtually identical and having poo poo-all to do with the choices you actually made throughout the game. There is absolutely no reason for the path taken in the end there to with the face-heel turn to have anything to do with Shadow's rivalry with Sonic. It's kind of like, you had one team design the narrative progression process with the various Hero-Neutral-Evil paths in each stage and the level grid they follow, and another team write the actual narratives, and when the latter looked at the former they decided "you know what, gently caress that poo poo, let's just ignore that and do whatever and hope it works out somehow".

I think to properly poo poo on something, you first gotta experience it a little. So I gave Shadow a spin a while ago to get a hands-on feel on how bad it really is. The answer is, of course, "a lot". I reached the final level shown in the last video and Jordan's practiced playing doesn't properly convey how awful it is. For some reason, every block you need to jump on is so high that you can juuuust get on it if you fully commit, which might be a problem depending on how the stars aling with your camera. Sucking the blocks out from the wall is a neat idea, until the execution kicks in which is "lazily point suck gun at glowing object; profit, maybe?!". Then you fall down and have to traverse the entire room again as Shadow's soap-covered feet, bizarre acceleration decisions and a drunk camera try to gently caress you again. All this is, of course, after spending five minutes trying to beat up teleporting fuckers who are, surprise, immune to the one weapon you have to use to progress. The I reached the part where you have to homing attack on three flying enemies and from the last somehow land on a platform far below with no real guidance towards it and almost game-overed; THEN I actually game-overed because the wall-jumping mechanic is about as reliable as a 1973 Sowjet-manufactured car found in a shed somewhere. At the end, the Chaos Emerald was inexplicably shielded and I quit in disgust.

It's a really weird conincidence, but in Japanese, a lot of things related to the military have the syllable "gun" in them (the term "shogun" for instance.) I don't know too much about 3D Sonic games but I like to think this explains why they decided to name the evil-ish army that shows up in a couple of them "GUN" out of all names.

Now that I think of it, "gun" literally means "army" in Japanese. Including in "shogun". So maybe it's less of a problem with Gun Lift and more with the Army Army. I guess it fits in with the generic names of everything else, like Westopolis? edit: anilEhilated posted:Alternate explanation: "Guns are edgy and cool!"

My Japanese is kind of rusty and I used to think the syllable was maybe a compoment needed for a couple military-related terms. To be honest, I think this makes the entire thing even more disappointing.

Actually you can play as Maria in this game if you have a second controller. She can't jump worth crap, can't homing attack(though it would be hilarious if she could), and her only form of attack is a weak slap attack if you press the B button but you can play as her.

I've always been surprised and disappointed that Shadow triumphantly declaring "I AM THE ULTIMATE HEDGEHOG" never got as much attention as some of the other lines in this game. That line killed me the first time I heard it.

Honestly, Lost Impact could be worse, a thousand times. You could've done what I did and got both A ranks and all the keys. Though even at its worst I'd still probably take Shadow the Hedgehog over Sonic 06, after playing both. At least I had fun once or twice in shadow's multiplayer mode.

My favorite part of the level is hearing Maria exclaim how the Artificial Chaos are out of control, and all they're doing is sitting there, not even attacking the soldiers.

So is every ending just Shadow standing there and saying "I am (adjective) (noun) ! This is who I am!" Because, while the line's delivery is kind of funny, each ending seems amazingly lame and not at all worth the effort of entirely replaying the game just to see.

Shadow probably proclaims "THIS IS WHO I AM" every time he realises or remembers something. - Oh, Christ, I left the iron on. THIS IS WHO I AM!

One person's Shadow, the others are Shadow Androids (just Shadow with different colour stripes) and you fight each other and it's bad. There's a bit of pre-round 'I'M THE REAL SHADOW' 'NO ME' before every fight Maybe I just remember it being bad cause it was basically my first exposure to analogue sticks.

But Shadow is also an Android  (or not? I can't make heads or tails of this braindead story)I'm sure analog sticks have nothing to do with any problems with the game. It just controls terribly.
