There's not enough of Eggman in THIS game either. I suppose it's what happens when his unstable otherworldly power source du jour breaks free in the first act instead of the final stage.

I didn't get too long a chance to play Sonic Boom, but the only disappoint I actually found with it were the graphics. After seeing a beautiful, cartoony-inspired game like Lost World, it was like Boom not only took a step down, but fell down the whole flight of stairs. I read up on the bugs and am definitely reminded of Sonic 06.

 Time to upgrade this LP with the power of the Chaos Emeralds! Let's see just what Super Sonic can do, what he can't do, how he can break things and maybe not break some other things. I hope you like hearing the theme music! Part 12 (Super Sonic): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBHeV0IlKmQ

That's some pretty unenergetic super sonic music but at least it's got a fairly long loop so it doesn't grind into your brain. They've done so much worse in recent years

Super Sonic seems kind of underwhelming after the hassle of getting all the red rings. Still, I don't get the rampant hate the game has garnered from some people; it doesn't really seem bad at all. The Zeti are kind of annoying (and the random stripy horns make me cringe because it reminds me of Homestuck), but overall it looks cute and seems fun. Also, looked at some of Sonic Boom (the game). I swear it would be 90% better if the characters stopped babbling stupid (mostly) flavor text the entire time. I realize they have little kids in mind and a lot of people complained about Lost World not really giving directions, so having the characters say instructions/hints now and then might be helpful. But god drat, overkill and bad writing.

I think it mostly comes from the fact that the series had gathered a bad reputation since the Dreamcast years and people just immediately rage about the latest game being an insult to their childhoods. This game being kind of hard to figure out and the plot/humor being lackluster ensured that it didn't win over extras. That, and it came out after the best 3D Sonic and seems poor in comparison.

Actually, I remember really liking being Super Sonic in the first three games. Also, my expectations for plot and humor are never terribly high for Sonic games. I know I'm in the minority, but I didn't even like Sonic Adventure because I thought the plot was stupid and contrived, and to me it was the start of a long series of grating voice actors and ridiculous lines. The only ones I've really liked since the Genesis games have been Unleashed (kind of), Colors and Generations (cute but not nauseating), and Lost World (a bit weak but still entertaining). Characterization and plot don't strike me as Sega's strong suits, especially after the abject trainwreck that was 2006 and the stupidity that was Shadow. I'm trying to watch MassRafTer's LP of 2006 now, but it's really a chore (not MassRafTer's fault, just the game itself is so  and  ).

 The Hidden World, featuring one of the weirdest bosses in video game history. At least I thought it was weird. Four levels that were test beds for ideas Sonic Team had during development. One is kind of lame, the rest are pretty fun, so come for that, the circus and we'll see you soon for CAPTAIN TOAD!

Hidden world looks kind of like scrapped ideas for this game's take on what would've been special stages. Still voting 1 and unsubscribing for the lack of Nightmare Zone

This is a very weird zone and a very weird note for the game to go out on, but it is what it is I guess!  Good LP!

That hidden world and the DLC was awesome. I wish that Tornado segment was used for the Emeralds a la the classic series instead of the Red Rings, that looked like a lot of fun.

Nihilarian posted:That boss rush looked incredibly unsatisfying. It's very underwhelming if you were one of the people who bought this game at launch and was hoping it would be an actual NiGHTS themed level. I don't even understand why they made it a boss rush, I guess so they could have an excuse to show off these admittedly cool boss designs? They even have the framework to make a good level, between the rings, blue chips, and background scenery. Hell, they could have taken the controls from that one tornado level and it would have been fine. More substantial than this, at any rate.

I guess there was only so much they could do with the theme without having to spend a lot of money to make it. There really isn't much to work with in NiGHTS anyway, besides the visuals of the stages.

Disappointed that there wasn't much "level" to it, but what there was there in the form of the boss fights looked fantastic. I wouldn't mind a new Nights game either, if they brought back the classic gameplay.

You're probably best off getting the HD re-release, which is a port of the previously Japan only PS2 re-release to the now last-gen consoles and Steam, have the benefits of still using an analog stick, and graphics that aren't from the stone age! Unless you want them, because that's an option too. As for this game, it's a shame there wasn't a Reala fight, but it is nice to see a boss rush where the bosses get a bit of a remix.

Nights is really weird in that Sega obviously wanted it to be a big thing (I mean, they made a special controller for the Saturn for it and everything) and it got really good sales at the time of its release, but then instead of running the franchise into the ground like some of their other properties *glance at Sonic '06, they just stuck Nights in cameos all over other games (generally Sonic ones). Then there was that one subpar Wii game you mentioned and other than that it's back to cameos.
