Scaramouche posted:I'm worried about Vicas, he seems to be suffering from some degenerative nerve disorder that simultaneously lowers inhibition and volume control, all in a relatively rapid timeframe (approx 8 hrs). Also, is the Rolling Rock brewery in Newark the same one near the airport that used to have the neon sign of the Anheuser-Busch eagle flying? I always loved seeing that as a id.

Hey, the Mets are good now! Certainly better than the Yankees and their cheap bastard owner. But yeah, central/south NJ is more Philly sports territory, so it makes sense. I hope they still have the neon eagle on that brewery.

Okay, that cutscene is abysmal in so many ways. The fact that all the enemies just teleport in. Lyric's now psychic and can just levitate the crystals towards him. Sonic getting hit point blank with a million shots, buried under tocks, but it's okay, he was just taking a power nap. Not to mention, I think it was supposed to parallel the beginning of the game, where the three friends got their asses handed to them by metal sonic, and sonic entered the tomb to save them (and they argued they didn't need saving, and give him poo poo for it, though it really did look like they needed it). But it's so god awful, because there's no reason why Sonic appeared to be in danger (compared to any other point in the game with enemies), and the other three ignore him and give up the crystals, for him to be shot at anyway. Talk about being a bunch of hypocrites.

It's almost like the developers needed a way to keep customers hooked for most of the game instead of trading it in after the glitches and terrible story reared their ugly heads.

Bubsy the Bobcat is my favorite Sonic friend.slycooper20 posted:Dude, I don't blame you. The story's so forgettable, even I have no context of where the gently caress we are. How did they fly to the Shadow Realm? How did they know to go to the Shadow Realm or where it was? Why was the engine on fire? Usually when a game cuts sections they'll still try and make the separate chapters match up in some feasible fashion. They used the Sonic: Lost World title on the wrong game.

I love how we have no idea where we are and how we got here but it's coming into the home stretch and it'll all be over soon. Also yeah as time goes on it's apparent that less and less polish/sense was put into the later levels, it's astoundingly crappy.

It's bad enough that there are no invincibility frames in Sonic Boom, but they also have enemies shoot multiple homing shots. At least it's much shorter than Sonic 2006. Also, is Newark Airport still constantly under construction?

Remember that silent airship that showed up in the water town? well it was in the sky level also. just like before it silently showed up only to have tails blow it's three inactive turrets up. I also agree with the fact that a lot of the animation in this game for non character stuff seems to lack oomph or any kind of weight. If there is a physics engine in use here, it's been used quite poorly.

Of all the many confusing things in this game, the sudden and inexplicable appearance of the science hell dimension is the one that gets me worst. Evidently the robosnake has his own hell dimension. And we flew there in a biplane. Who knew.

What? No impossible to complete final level with randomly appearing time dimensions? No radical train? No billiard puzzle? You just finish the game and piss on the credits and it never has any part that just won't let you finish it so you can finish the drat game and it drives everyone nuts? Laaaaaame.

I like how even in this garbage game, Eggman continues to be the best part of the Sonic franchise. So why was Lyric's shield generator disabled by people yanking his tail? That's just perverse. That's like the snake equivalent of putting something down your pants so someone has to fish it out.

Maybe it's been a while since I've seen video game credits but does anyone else find it weird that they listed all of the non-video game departments at their company in the credits? I mean, it's cool that you're giving a shout out to your Legal department but I don't see how that's relevant here.
