   Wolfy added a post in a topic This is what Sonic looks like in Unreal 4    16 July

   TBH Looks like Sonic 06 HD to me. Like many addressed, it's too flat and the gameplay is all wrong and I couldn't see any form of level design that would make this format a fun playable game. Like could you imagine platforming with that mess?
   It would've been loads better to try and get some actual physics in there, and build an environment that's more vibrant and not-realistic. Sure that might be a stylistic choice, but I just can't Sonic when there's some real deer ass deer hopping around an open world that looks like it belongs to ATV Off-road Fury. Would've been a start anyway.

   Well after poking around a bit, it's not too bad other than some formatting and some of the colors make it seem like information run together (specifically inside of sub forum areas). But again you guys already pointed out that things are being worked on and adjusted and know the current state isn't your guys' final intentions of the place, so cool beans with me.
   I think the only thing I'm generally upset with, and has nothing to do with you guys and more over just a gigantic "ugh aw man" feeling, is that with friends being gone, I guess Gunther will never be on my friends list again. I hope this isn't opening up a sore but idk, kinda blah about it

   Gonna take some getting used to since since after 2 months shy of 10 years now, my eyeballs are only used to everything on this site being blue haha.
   Pretty neat though, I'm already digging the "multi-quote" option, as well as the "likes" being on our posts now since they're fun to look at I guess. TBH my main point of posting this post is to see how my avatar/sig set up looks in this new way *shot*

   Wolfy added a post in a topic Splatoon! You're a Squid, Kid.    8 July

   Honestly the Sploosh reminds me of a machine gun type Luna Blaster, which I'm really digging. Watched some videos and you down people like CRAZY with it. 3 shots and dead if they don't have a defense buff, and the gun shoots pretty dang fast, you just need to be close. Probably better for things like splat zones, but I'll have to try it later. Definitely liking the look of it though, especially with the beacons. If I had a buddy to play with on my team constantly (hopefully this kinda mode comes sooner than later), I can see one of us being this gun and the other as a luna blaster and being a pretty OP CQB team to be reckoned with. Both secondary weapons are defensive (mine is great for watching your back, and beacons to get your buddies back in the fray), and both specials are long range monsters (inkzooka and killer wail). I just can't help but see the similarities and am excited to try this gun as being an active luna blaster user.
    
   The other gun seems pretty neat as well but just never have really been my type. Also not really a fan of the kraken anymore, especially after a few episodes of encountering someone using one against me and I could actually keep them pushed back continously with the luna blaster shots, and eventually started making them /go backward/ when my inkzooka was ready lmao.

   Wolfy added a post in a topic Can someone tell me why SA2 is so highly regarded?    29 June

   Both the Adventure games are pretty nostalgia fodder nowadays. I mean yes they're both still playable and enjoyable to a degree, but they aren't some shining stallions or something. For the longest time SA1 and SA2 where kinda the only "good" Sonic games to go to anything before Unleashed, and even then Unleashed and onward were so different in gameplay style that they still stayed relevant as the only 3D Sonic games that kinda had a more "SM64" level of early 3D freedom (that's a big thing to say of course, but you guys understand what I kinda mean).
    
   They haven't stood the test of time very well however. Both seem pretty aged when played today and you aren't under the nostalgia goggles so much anymore. They're both largely games that don't know what they want to be with their varying forms of gameplay types, cutting only a fraction left for any normal Sonic game play. This is kind of a common theme in Sonic's 3D history of course, but for the longest time, and still even so by some people, it for whatever reason got/still gets the pass and people turn a blind eye to boring fishing, chasing, shooting, and emerald hunting. While they're not all agonizing forms of gameplay (and heck I even enjoy Tails/Eggmans shooting stages from time to time), it's not hard to say you'd prefer more "Sonic" levels.
    
   In a nutshell, today, all of those 3D Sonic games are pretty mediocre and can really only say that Unleashed/Colors/Gens and the debatable Lost Worlds are the only Sonic games that are in the range of a little over mediocre to good video games for Sonic's 3D history. SA1/SA2 are definitely not the "Ocarina of Time" of Sonic by any means at all as some kinda put it up to. Too much alternate gameplays with Sonic being the only really passable thing at the end of the day, but even still not the greatest thing ever (Sonic is seriously all over the place in SA1, go play it again).

   I think all of the character's b-days are just when their game release date was or if stated otherwise.
    
   Also might be looking a little too hard if you're trying to pinpoint their birthdays on zodiac signs

   I actually walked in being like "you know, Hyrule Warriors for Wii U was fun but IDK if I could justify buying it again just for 3DS to get a few new characters and some Wind Waker stuffs (as much as I adore WW), but then someone mentioned Linebeck and thought "god damn it, I would rebuy it for that badass aaaaaaaaa"
    
   Also that classic tunic for Link is amazing

   Wolfy added a post in a topic Rivals of Aether - A Super Smash Bros. inspired game    17 June

   Actually played Rivals of Aether last year at Microsoft's indie thing here by Seattle. Played as Orcane and it was pretty dang fun, not gonna lie. I wouldn't call it a substitute for Smash of course, but it's definitely fun in it's own right. The animal characters are fun to look at and imaginative and it quickly gets intense in a couch playing setting haha.
    
   Cool to see some new characters on the page since that build though, I like the green raccoon dude thing

    Wolfy added a post in a topic We like Sonic, I think?    10 June

    While everyone is totally right, I just love the fact that anyone that's posted here with a gold star response is like a grizzled old war vet sitting in the back corner of a bar, staring out the rainy window wide-eyed, seeing a silhouette of Sonic and muttering to themselves "you don't know what I've seen...I've seen some shit."
     
    Yeah I can echo. We bash on Sonic because mediocrity is the best we've gotten, yet we're still too stubborn to dump the hedgehog because deep down, as much as anyone here will accept or refuse this: likes him still. It's as simple as that. We're passionate and want a really rad game of the childhood hero in our mind and we repeatedly get garbage. Yeah there's some better games, and some we even love personally, but on the grand scale, with it's track record and history, it seems no matter which right directions or wrong, it's a casino at Sega and they just keep pulling the slot machine and feed us whatever new combination of half baked ideas with little to no consistency pops out. (ruuuun-on sentence)
     
    Fire & Ice popped up and from what it looks like, looks like we got basically the same thing as last the Boom game, so it's hard not to be distasteful. But we'll follow it anyway, bash it, download the soundtrack, watch reviews, possibly buy it day one or in a bargin bin 3 months after release, and sit on our ass on this board and make topics like "SHATTERED CRYSTAL VS FIRE & ICE: AN ANALYSIS." We're bitter, but we're still fans of some degree, and the wheel will go on and on.
     
    I just don't think your dad realizes that super fans aren't always happy-go-lucky, and it's more over just passion. When it's a decade plus of games not meeting the line, it can be frustrating, ultimately leading to quick disapproval whenever we get a new game...
     
    Especially when it looks like a sequel of a fucking terrible game we /just got/.

    I'll give it a fair shot before gameplay footage/reviews at this moment, but like everyone else I'm not really bouncing off the walls with excitement either. Here's to hoping it's actually pretty rad~
     
    Also I feel weird since I named a Sonic remix "Fire and Ice!" for the first SSMB album lmao

    I'm actually reaaaaally hyped for the new Chibi Robo, will prolly snag the amiibo with it as well, <3. The Treasure game thing looks interesting I guess, and Bravely Second kinda makes me want to finally give the first one a go since I've been procrastinating its purchase. The rest really isn't in my focus of interest but still cool to see *shrugs*

    Wolfy added a post in a topic Recommend me some Sonic games!    31 May

    Only thing I could add (unless someone said it, sorry), was if you are ever curious about the much talked about Sonic Adventure 1 and Adventure 2 games, I'd actually play those first as your 3D Sonic games. Personally I don't feel they aged well at all, but they are still regarded as pretty big points in Sonic's history. The reason I say to maybe play them first instead of Unleashed or Colors or even Generations, is that I feel like you won't want to play and/or able to appreciate the Adventure games after playing these. They're different but they're definitely aged.
     
    I guess I'd say play Adventure 1 and 2, Unleashed, Colors, Gens in that order for 3D games (though really do recommend the 3-4 2D flagships that everyone is saying first and foremost). Ending in Generations will allow you to recognize a large majority of that game's nostalgia, and leave with room to go "oh what was this game?" and try it out. Everything past this point is usually considered more on the mediocre to terrible side on wide scale, but many still do love these other games regardless (case in point I'm a 3D Blast for Genesis lover and I know it's not great haha). Also aside from maybe Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and Heroes, the rest of these games play largely different and is definitely a hate it/love it scenario.
     
    Either way you do it though, if you find yourself loving the blue thing then you'll probably enjoy most of his catalog to some degree.

    The ones I was digging is beast being a hell of a lot easier to get now apparently, and now the insight store only requires 1 insight to gain access to? I also heard they added some things for the shop, but yeah, all very welcome changes. Will be fun to strut around my friends game when he finally gets it with my current character haha
