A 3D Sonic game where you run forward, jump over gaps, and run through loops? I mean what are people expecting? Of course it's going to play similar to the other games and have a similar first level or whatever. The games usually differentiate themselves later on.

I mean the tutorial just flat out has the exact same layout as the tutorial from Sonic Unleashed but also this is definitely just supposed to be a cute little reference and people are weirdly desperate to find things to get mad about with this game for some reason

I'm still not convinced it's a cute reference versus some red-handed archery. Cute references are usually obvious without some third party pointing them out.

Despite growing up with the first 3 games, Sonic games now feel like they're 'movie' or 'tv show' games; the kind that writers who have no idea what they're talking about put into their scripts. I realize that Prince of Persia is a real game, but I'm reminded of this infamous clip from the show Life, where an excel spreadsheet is unlocked after someone beats some level.

The Sonic the Hedgehog movies are pretty much the most popular video game movies ever aside from like Detective Pikachu (and Rampage if you count that as a game movie and not a movie featuring The Rock.) It's a weirdly consistently successful franchise for something people seem to dislike so much.

They just wanted to stymie piracy during the launch when they expected to make most of their sales. lol if Denuvo has ever been baked into the physical release of a game though. Not sure if that's happened yet.

Like you can say what you want but Sonic Generations and Sonic Mania are the literal definition of "celebrates its past with joy and love."

Oh, the question of doom vs quake preferences, quake just barely has an edge over all other videogames in my mind. This is for the experience it gave me the first time I put the game disk in my cd player ghetto blaster. No other game has surprised me with an included album of ambient Nine Inch Nails tracks. I dubbed that to tape right away!

Hell, it’s been doing it since Sonic Adventure technically (which included its own version of both Ice Cap and Sky Chase) Going back even further than that, Sonic 3 also revisited the bosses of both Green Hill and Metropolis during Sonic & Tails’ version of Sky Sanctuary Larryb fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Aug 25, 2022 |

Detective No. 27 posted:Standalone. It's a Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest situation. New characters and world. Not direct sequels. The Xenoblade games are all connected. You don’t need to play 1 and 2 first but those and Future Connected give some context for 3. Also a bunch of dragon quest games are directly connected to one another as sequels and prequels. I think 7-10 might be the only ones unconnected to other mainline DQ games and I’m not certain about 10. I’m excluding the DQM games and DQ Heroes since drawing on the entire series is a part of those games. Especially Musou games.

I’m aware of those connections, but for the most part, to the average person and the stories themselves without any DLC post game stuff, they’re all standalone and the connections within the main story usually just come in the form of nods to the fans. Dragon Quest sequels usually take hundreds of years apart and any of them make good jumping points if you’re a new player and won’t be lost if say you choose something like Yakuza 4 as your first entry in the series. My ultimate point was that you don’t need to play through XB1-2 to enjoy 3.

Kin posted:Eh, it's quite a bit weaker than Doom 2016. The fundamental problem with Doom Eternal is it wants to have its cake and eat it too on its gameplay loop; You can't have a loop of "empty weapon, cycle to next, chainsaw to restore ammo", with a small limit on each ammo type to encourage this routine, and then turn around and have challenges antithetically built around the use of specific weaponry that don't even give you the ammo to attempt them with (or at least restore lost ammo on failure).

D:E also had that lovely "wander for a bit, forced arena section, wander for a bit, forced arena section, repeat until game ends" bullshit that completely destroys the suspension of disbelief. Like, I got tired of that in Japanese action games ten years ago, and it was already outdated game design even then.

that isnt the loop. you can basically use whatever you want as often as you want because you get so much ammo. i played most of the game using shotgun and the railgun thing on nightmare with 0 issues so i am afraid i have to conclude this is inf act a skill issue. also you dont really need to use the special kills theyre for fun. a cacodemon is still going to die if you just blow it away.
