I still really love the stupid fact that Amy and Knuckles stayed on the dying planet rather than asked for Sonic and Tails to bail them out. Because, y'know, the Six Deadly Sevens fired up their doomsday machine back when Tails was still not-captured and, IIRC, he had fixed the drat plane so it wouldn't have been out of the question.

At this point, I'm half inclined to believe that SEGA wants to kill off Sonic's friends to appeal to the people always complaining about them and this was their way of doing it without actually doing it.

For the record, the charged homing attack has been a feature the whole game...up to three charges. or whatever reason, that final hit lets you, and requires you to, charge up to 5 to win. It's stupid and no one would ever figure it out themselves.

Also those hoops you had to shimmy across in the slide level looked pretty unfun.

All the information I have been able to find out about Sonic Boom strongly suggests it will be an absolute trainwreck. Whether it is an entertaining trainwreck or just a disappointing one, only time will tell.

The worst part about that one breakable hoop where Kyle dies a bunch is that the way those cacti are coming at you, it makes it look like you're supposed to weave between them. This invariably kills you. I understand rolling a couple of them down to force you across, but the pattern they use doesn't have that effect at all. The thing about Lost World is that you can tell they really put in the effort. The mechanics work and the levels have been playtested to make sure everything's working as intended. The fact that it still turns out so damned dull and frustrating makes me think they built the mechanics, made sure they all worked out, but then once they started making levels they suddenly realized it all loving sucks when it's put together. Then it was too late to make major changes. But then they make weird choices like the above and I don't know what the gently caress anymore. Do they not know what fun is?

You know how people criticize Platinum Games for hiding essential skills in the shop menu? Sonic Lost Worlds is kind of if they wanted you to enter a cheat code to even be able to enter that shop. Or maybe more like playing old fighting games that didn't have command lists for the first time. It's poo poo, is what I'm saying. Also the homing attack charge thing is terrible and it feels very much shoehorned in, especially since it kills almost all bosses in two hits.

The charge attack thing is one of the worst issues of the game's obtuse controls and such not only because of its obscure usage, but the honest to god fact that there is no indication previously that you would ever need the ability in such a fashion. If you've charged a homing attack before this, its almost certainly either out of an accident, or just to get maybe one extra ring on it to quicken up a boss fight. But its never been necessary to finish a boss off, and up until you finally have to use it, the trend was kick then homing attack, which at least is vaguely reinforced over the course of the game, where enemies with additional defenses have to be kicked over simply homing attacked. But its not the worst. Because however much I might be generous to this game, that's still coming, and once realised, is going to piss the ever loving poo poo out of people.

Look guys, I know it almost definitely wouldn't help with the actual playing of the game and getting around some its shittier mechanics, but no one would hold it against you if you just got on GameFAQs and used a walkthrough to help know which lovely gimmick you're supposed to be using on which enemy. (Also every time the game keeps telling you to look at the gamepad for hints and you don't look at hints my soul dies a little) e: Okay never mind got to the point where they use a guide thank god TwoPair fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Oct 16, 2014 |

FlamingLiberal posted:I think you meant to say Sonic '06. I think they've mentioned it before, but Sonic '06 as fun to play in a "How much worse can it POSSIBLY get?" way. It was so bad that everything about it was so broken and confusing that it was at least fun to get through. Unleashed has good day levels (although Keith would disagree), but they're only 10% of the game compared to the slow slog of night levels. Colors seems technically proficient, but just boring. So it's not fun to get through. Edit: poo poo I meant Lost World, not Colors. Colors was a good game. Sartorius fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Oct 18, 2014 |

It seems like they tried with everything except the level design and the Deadly Six. Music is good, art is good, but it seems like most of the levels have the same gimmicks. The boss fights are really uninspired, though. With all of them you basically just wail on them until they die, and there's a minor gimmick to the fight that doesn't effect much. This only sold around 750,000 copies, which isn't impressive either. FlamingLiberal fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Oct 18, 2014 |

No, you know what; this game COULD have been good. It wasn't, but it could have. Like, Eggman found this ancient evil, okay, and he's using it for his latest hare-brained scheme, fine, that's not new. But then Sonic jumps the gun and fucks everything up himself. That's new. That's something they could have done something with. They just, like, didn't.

Never have I been so polarized with an LP. One one hand I agree with Keith's definition of purchased, and that it is purchased once you get a receipt and complete the transaction. On the other hand, such misguided animosity towards omelets. They can be filled with so many things. How is that bad?
