I was gonna say "the one soundtrack from Sonic CD with down-pitched laughing at the start" but I can't remember if that was used as a final boss. Crush 40 wins handily though.

Okay but real talk, the 3D CG trailer for this game wherein Sonic collapses probably dead and then Shadow walks out from behind him with an AK 47 or rocket launcher or something was hype as poo poo.

In his most recent video, Jim Sterling cast aside the faux-dictatorial schtick in favor of a carnival barker thing. It amounts to changing the intro and wearing a silly hat but I'm glad of it.

I assume he did it because there are too many people playing unironic Nazis these days. Like I think he did it originally to sort of poke fun at the percieved harshness of his tone but the obviousness of the joke is now gone which in itself is pretty depressing

They are good games but they are really not very Crackdown at all. Overall it might be one of the more structured open work games with the least stuff to do to just gently caress around which is the exact opposite of Crackdown. It's still worth playing but you will be disappointed if you're looking for more Crackdown.

I mean it's essentially the same show once you get past the intro. If you didn't like it then you won't like it now.

Unfortunately no, he still wears black gloves, black jacket, black shirt, red tie.

all three power sets in second son are reskins of each other but they all require different sources to recharge which is kind of lame. it would have been cool to be like, for running i want Light, for grenade i want Smoke, etc.

Warped was a good game at the time but anyone interested in the trilogy is better off playing Ratchet and Clank or the Jak collection for PS3

I think all of the original Crash trilogy are still good games tbh, and they're different enough to Jak and the RC games in the sense that they're much more simple and traditional platformers.

It's good, but it's so easy it's downright silly and has less to do than the first two games. It's definitely fun though, just clowning on cops and spray painting dicks everywhere.

First Light is a lot better.

this isn't true, with Smoke you can't run up the sides of buildings, you have to find an air vent to get up on a roof, and there are a lot of other differences (but you're right that they're MOSTLY samey)

sonic adventure and sonic adventure 2 are locked in endless battle to determine which is my favorite shittiest game and i consistently decide it's sa2 just because it doesn't cut out the cheesy music half way through a big final boss

I can forgive the bad camera and the weird early 3D game controls and the incredible lip syncing and the repetitive story beats and Big only getting like four levels, but cutting out Open Your Heart in the second half of perfect chaos is sinful

What? No. They have some things in common but they all have completely different play styles. Hell, the third one is essentially stealth based.

I started playing Second Son but it was so run off the mill that I forgot I actually owned it. There wasn't a conscious decision to stop playing it, one day I simply forgot it existed.

Yeah, people don't seem to like it but I thought it might possibly the most broken stealth power set I've ever seen in a game and it ruled plus you summoned digital angels or demons to do your bidding.
