Finished the game, 100% map completion and all side stories done. Game owned. Absolute mess in a lot of ways but I loved it. I get that the bullet hell section was too hard for the lower difficulties but they could've just, like, given you more lives or given you checkpoints or something? I feel bad for the people who missed the actual final boss without realizing it. Story was pretty solid as far as Sonic games go. It took itself seriously and had high stakes but it wasn't totally joyless like 06. It's neat that it ended with Sonic's friends all having grown a bit and deciding to go out on their own separate journeys. Really curious what that's gonna look like in the future. The world-building with the Ancients was all really cool. I'm surprised though that we never really got any sort of explanation as to what The End is. I'm glad Sage seemingly survived.  Dad eggman ftw

The End is better off being a complete mystery. It's scarier that way.

Beat the for real super secret final boss. Honestly just really let down by the boss fights after island 2 Knight was cool but beat him remarkably easy. Supreme like... didn't do *anything*, just kind of died, I don't think the song even had lyrics. Then The End was just Ikaruga Lite which is cool but not how I want to finish a game like this :/. Ending did make me sad and I like the story overall. Really needed more time in the oven but way better than I expected. Credits being a little girl singing about how she died sad and alone and wanted her dad is... a choice. Edit: Yeah don't explain the final boss might have just been a purple talking space rock but was cooler that way in a 'oh what the gently caress is this poo poo

Supreme does do some bullet attacks and the song lyrics start to kick in after he's below half health but both him and Knight have hilariously undertuned HP compared to what Super Sonic can dish out[ And yeah I agree that The End just being this unexplained inscrutable world destroyer is cool, I'm just surprised they went that route

finished it and I feel like an old man yelling at the sky when the game has not one but two "last phase of the boss is a QTE type that's showing up for the first time right now, if you gently caress it up you have to do the whole fight over from the beginning"

Game is great. I'm sure I would hate it if I tried to do 100% completion but I'm a few hours in and it's a blast. It's like they looked at BOTW and went "what if the puzzle and environmental design went in sync with the gameplay and strengths of the character rather than being actively hostile to them"

I dunno if I agree with that. "solve a tile puzzle" "run in a circle" "hold the parry button" aren't exactly masterclasses in gameplay design, or have much to do with the games core competencies.

Also what’s the minimum level you should ideally have your speed raised to (I was only at Lvl 8 when I got to the fourth island and didn’t have enough height to jump off the rail into the hoops when scaling the second tower)? Or is it just a matter of timing your jump right as I literally never had to do that particular mechanic at any other point in the game?

So if you need to farm items for upgrades what island has the easiest Big fishing spot to get to?

Larryb posted:So if you need to farm items for upgrades what island has the easiest Big fishing spot to get to? The later islands give you more tokens per fish. The final island’s fishing is like 40-60 per catch. You will be flush in purple coins so it’s trivial to get more than you need of whatever resource you want.

If you want all of the hearts, medals, etc, do you need to gather them all manually, and are they needed for achievements?

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:If you want all of the hearts, medals, etc, do you need to gather them all manually, and are they needed for achievements? You need them to view all the “side stories” on each island, and again, if you don’t want to run around getting them one by one you can just get a ton at once from fishing. I don’t believe there is a finite amount per island, either.
