I’ve been playing a bit of Super Smash Bros Ultimate and all of the Sonic spirit fights include music with very self-serious lyrics, its a little embarrassing.

Im gonna keep equating sonic with kingdom hearts, both are series that I would call grotesque and remarkably uncool but that somehow manage to have sizeable fandoms

Perhaps you should open your heart, friend.

It is still weird that open your heart plays during the first phase of perfect chaos but the second phase (which also weirdly is just the first phase again) has this ominous music playing that is less "hell yeah gonna kick some rear end" and more "oh no the world is hosed what are we gonna do"


Also still weird is how selecting super sonic's story in that game just makes a weird "UH!" noise.

If SHINRA blows up the reactor then what are Cloud and his crew doing there in the first place?

Also the cool glitch where you make Sonic smash into Perfect Chaos' chin should have done more damage.

I assume it's Hollywood logic where they are there to blow it up but SHINRA does it first so it's all good.

it's actually not great by most accounts. i can definitely see nakumura loving the aesthetics of it, but the gameplay is supposed to be pretty clumsy

It is top to bottom underwhelming outside of aesthetics. Weak hub elements, middling combat, and repetitive stages. Combine that with a story that is purposefully obfuscated and underdeveloped that is at the last minute tasked with carrying a heavy philosophical load and plot twist that it buckles like a papermache house in the rain and youve a game that I can say I beat and never once thought about again.

in the original game we got, when you get to the hideout Jessie says something about how she followed a design she got on the Internet to make the bomb, and seems to think she did it incorrectly. it's a little muddled though because the translation's not great.

I wonder if this part in FF7R is a change to make AVALANCHE less culpable for innocent deaths or just an expansion on whatever that had been about

Ruiner is a beautiful game with an amazing soundtrack and atmosphere but it really sucks to play

In some alternate timeline where Hotline Miami doesn't exist I'd be singing its praises but Ruiner's gameplay is so clunky it's hard to ever recommend

Yeah, I looked up the OST on YouTube and I really liked what I heard. Shame about the rest of the game.

EDIT: That got me in the mood to find the Neotokyo OST again. That was also a great cyberpunk soundtrack.

Okay Sonic was actually decent and they tossed in a ton of sequel bait without being boring or overwhelming. It’s weird I live in a time where there’s good Sonic stuff and none of it is made internally by Sega.

If you have an AMC subscription service or the equivalent you might end up watching movies you wouldn't otherwise just because it's technically free.

That's why I saw The Rhythm Section which is probably one of the worst movies I've seen in theaters
