It appears you can destroy the Heavies in the final boss fight.

Not sure if it's just because I'm really drunk or what, but Titanic Monarch is giving me a hell of a time. Super fun mind you, but a hell of a time nonetheless. Also, a) I'm to understand that there's a final Super Sonic fight akin to S3&K? and EDIT: Verified B to be true for myself. The other two still stand.

If you're playing as Sonic do yourself a favor and try the drop dash move they added, it's like spin dash but even better!

One disappointing thing Super Tails & Knuckles still just do the white flashing they did in S3&K, with maybe some subtle color changes. And no new animations beyond the transformation. I assume this is a Sega decision, because I imagine the team would have been eager to make cool new sprites and animations for the two.

That's what Super Tails and Knuckles have always looked like, and Sega has been pretty clear that they want Super Sonic and the other hedgehogs as the only character whose super modes are canon and unique looking. Ian Flynn talked about this once and it's why Turbo Tails and Hyper Knuckles stopped appearing after the reboot.

I wish I understood the ending, more I think about it more confused I get. Was that Little Planet? Again? I mean I didn't even know we were there outside Stardust + Metallic. I'm just kinda confused like a moron.

Not really connected to the chaos emeralds and really just something that works in the computer world stuff. SEGA is a lot more picky about that kind of thing and with changing stuff related to the Sega characters.

Played some more of this yesterday. I'm dying a lot but I know it's mostly just me being dumb. Currently stuck at the Oil Ocean act 2 boss. I went in with 5 lives and fire shield and still game overed. I'm bad at this game. Switch version has been smooth for the most part so far but I did hit one major bug at the end of Hydrocity act 1 where I went too far to the right of the victory screen and the game froze. I had to exit and restart the game. Haven't seen any gamebreaking stuff since then. Stardust Speedway was a fantastic nostalgia trip.

I got really lost/stuck in CPZ Act 2 last night, I have no idea how. I got to a part where there was a pool of blue lava, a small pool of the green bouncy goo and then a pool of the blue bouncy goo. The green bouncy goo wouldn't bounce me high enough to get anywhere, and there was a ceiling above the blue bouncy goo. I couldn't see where else to go, so I managed to get perched on the lip of a ramp on the other side of the blue lava, and spin dash back up. Game is fun but I wish I didn't have a job and other responsibilities so that I could spend more than an hour playing it.

gently caress me what's the trick with Stardust Speedway boss? It's kicking my rear end running back and forth trying to get these little fuckers to knock into him.

Hrist posted:On PS4 I keep getting the thing where the music just stops. Sometimes a boss fight will do it, and then it comes back on the boss theme when they die. Sometimes the special stages stop. And then you just run around. Alone with your thoughts. Same As far as I'm concerned this is a gamebreaking bug

If you're still having trouble he pops up in the same place at beginning of the fight everytime so just wait under him and jump up just before he pulls the platform down and you should be able to bounce on top him a few times before the battle actually begins the most I got was four which is half of his health.

Yep I figured this out pretty quickly, but as soon as i get hit once and lose rings, I can't get them back and just die each time. I've only faced him a couple of times so I just need to keep trying while i'm not sleep-deprived (stupid sucky job). If 10yo me knew that in 20 years i'd be rushing through the work day to get home so I can play a 2D sonic game, his mind would be blown.

Sonic Mania is very good. My only gripe is the CRT filter isn't bright enough but I can handle the unfiltered graphics option.

Relin posted:this doesn't seem to have been posted. i would say it's a fakepost but the responses.... you play how you want going as fast as possible isn't gonna happen your first time through a level since you aren't familiar with the level layout this is the thing about old school Sega games that a lot of people who grew up with Mario struggle to wrap their heads around, they have very different design philosophies. Games like Sonic, Knights, and Gunstar Heroes have very arcade-like philosophy. They're built for multiple playthroughs, getting to the end of the game isn't hard on its own and you can brute-force your way past many obstacles. You replay levels, learn the layouts more, discover secrets, and push to do better each time you play the game, or find new ways to approach levels. It's very easy to playthrough an entire Sonic game in one sitting, but you can play it a different way every time. It's different from how Mario provides a structured challenge with a definitive ending, Sonic levels are more loosely-structured playgrounds that encourage multiple approaches and give the player a ton of flexibility in how they want to play. Using your momentum to send yourself flying over obstacles that might've challenged you at one point is super-satisfying in Sonic, this wouldn't really work in a Mario game though since skipping obstacles also means skipping the "tutorials" for future obstacles. the consequence of this style is that occasionally the game throws something at you that can be a bit obtuse but it's worth it for how fun and replayable the games are Augus fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Aug 16, 2017 |
