The 2021 Sonic Christmas Jumper is here!
Rabid-Noodles replied to Badnik Mechanic's topic in Sonic Merchandise
The design is fine, I still prefer the one I made tho 🙊 -
I find Unleashed to be perhapes the most difficult Sonic game to grade in terms of enjoyment since I belong to the many many people who like the day stages and dislike the night stages. I think the most fair thing to do is to give each half its own score and then take them both into consideration. In fact I'm gonna do it now: Daytime stages: 8/10 Nighttime stages: 3/10 Score: 5,5

Think of Trunks' time travels in DRAGON BALL : because of the Time Eater, Classic Sonic (who, in the beginning, is Sonic when he was young) now live in another dimension because the time travel created another timeline!!...
-
Oh hey, look, Classic Sonic appears in the new Team Sonic racing mobile game, and guess what? Sega changed their mind and he's a younger Sonic again. Or perhaps there's a younger Sonic Classic Sonic AND a different dimension Classic Sonic, who knows? Can't wait till they both join modern Sonic as playable characters next game. Look, 10 years ago I would be all thrilled talking about the official Timeline, but after the past decade of garbage story telling, this is the only timeline that makes sense to me: That's all there is. A cocktail of New-Gimmick-Of-The-Week and Braindead-fanservice. I'm baffled why Iizuka even comes up with all his convoluted world building concepts when the story in-game is so lazy and thrown together.

Man, you're too prickly, try to loosen up a little... EDIT: Re-reading it, the post sounded a little bit... aggressive. I'll specify: nothing "blew up", it seems to me that you take too strongly comments that simply don't agree with you, which is bad because it just means that people have different opinions. You risk ending up disliked just because of a few strong reactions, while I don't think you really mean bad. And that's bad because your reviews are really good and while I don't always agree with your points, I consider most of those interesting tidbits of reflection (that's why I always hope to discuss about those). Sorry if my original post may sound mean.

Was testing out some pens and got carried away. Minor symmetrical issues aside, I like how it came out.

Yeah, feel like I've dodged a bullet by not investing in NSO-related stuff. Love my Switch and all it's handheld HD gaming goodness, but Nintendo really seem to have dropped the ball on the online quite often.

The only leak I trust is the original one that got the title of the game right and talked about the spin cycle gimmick that was later shown in the official reveal trailer, because it was proven right. This thing of the game taking place on an island made of forests and ruins was already said in an older leak so they're probably piggybacking. I think that the game will surprise us all and that 99% of those leaks are fake. The Sonic Frontiers one might have some truth in it but as said by others it might just be one of the several titles referenced in the poll, along with Rangers. I'm pretty confident that the final name will be Rangers, unless they decided to change it last minute because of the leak.

so the $30 /yr expansion pass has now been released for nintendo switch online. (which, as a reminder, makes NSO as a whole cost cost $50 /yr). and based on early impressions, the N64 emulation is uh.....um.....
problems with framerate, textures, music, and sound effects; strange N64 button mapping for modern controllers (which for now, can't be customized), and controller pak errors (since that was apparently not emulated). there have also been varying degrees of input lag/latency, which for certain games has made them borderline unplayable.

Nintendo can burn all the bridges with they want with consumers, just by burning em piece by piece. And there will always be some still willing to swim through the icy cold river to give them their profit.

Amazing that they literally sold us a rom dump of Mario 64 a year ago, and the new version seems worse in every way.

@Strickerx5 i've read some comments about how they've modded their switch for it to run the retroarch n64 emulator, and the N64 games on that emulator run way, way better there compared to the "official" NSO releases
e: another MK64 example with just two players (vs. 3 from the first video). it seems like online play/netcode is completely busted out the gate
-
To be fair though, couldn't those issues (In MK64 at least) be connection based? He's playing online with four people and there's a message constantly flashing that the connection is poor (nothing new with Nintendo netcode). Audio desync and lag like that could just be what occurs when it has to try deal with poor connections for online players playing a game that was designed for local MP in mind.
Keep in mind, I'm not defending this, if there's other issues with the other games that people wanna point me towards, I'd be happy to see them, it's just for this issue, I could see the poor connectivity having a role in the issues.

@Milo For the record, both the 3DAS and NSO versions of SM64 are emulated. But they're handled differently. 3DAS is the later, Japanese only release with a few bug fixes and minor changes, emulated at a higher resolution and with some .lua mods to replace some textures, dialogue etc with higher resolution and different language versions. It's still just a rom, not a port. NSO on the other hand is a straight emulation of the North American rom.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - DADDY SAKURAI'S WILD RIDE HAS CONCLUDED
Spookilator replied to Sonictrainer's topic in Video Games
If there's one thing I'm glad has never happened during Ultimate's life cycle, it's fearmongering that if Crash did get in, they'd base him purely on his Japanese design and only take inspiration from his Japanese localization (not to say that it's not a possibility). -

Popular and unpopular Sonic opinions you agree and disagree with!
E-122-Psi replied to KHCast's topic in General Sonic Chat
I think the key there is that Hot Shelter was Gamma's longest and most developed stage (as it was for Amy and Big too in fact). I think the biggest hinderance to Gamma was less his gameplay and more his level design didn't offer enough for it. The first couple levels are pathetically short, and while Windy Valley and Red Mountain are a lot more fun and let you test out Gamma's abilities better, they're still among the shortest levels in the game, with bosses that don't even put up a fight even by easy mid-level boss standards. The groundwork was there for something awesome, but it was dumbed down absurdly. I should note that I'm fine with quick levels, I actually tend to prefer them over some of the ridiculous ten minute gauntlets the games after tried to do, but I prefer it being more your level of skill and expertise playing it that makes it a speedrun, not it being a pushover by normality. That's the design philosophy of say, most of Sonic's levels in Adventure itself, they're mostly well developed, but you can speed through them if you know what you're doing. Up until that final level, Gamma and lot of other characters' levels just end too quick. Only Amy's are as developed as Sonic's and even that's partially due to her being much slower than him or even Gamma (or maybe Big even). Even with that though, I feel Gamma's campaign has the best intuition besides maybe Sonic and Amy in the game. The others tend to fall more into minigame category. Tails I'd argue is actually the worst for this, he's just cheesing a small portion of Sonic's level. There was potential to add routes and short cuts only he could find to make it more investing, but again, besides his final level, they were mostly just cheap and spammed boost rings. All Gamma really needed was longer levels following his current philosophy and slightly more intelligent boss AI. I feel like the only ones that were let down by actual controlling in the first Adventure were Big and Amy, and even then only in a specific area (Big needed a proper attack and Amy just needed to be a little faster). Other than that it tends to be level design and failing to flesh it out for their main gimmick to work as a campaign proper. I'd argue even for Big, that if you tacked on his Heroes body slam and a small bit of actual level building up to his fishing minigame then he might have been less infamous. -

the timeline where mega drive sonic and millennium sonic are considered one and the same character, just with different aesthetics, must be nice
if they have to split them up i would rather they do the alternate dimension nonsense instead of the older timeline nonsense. both are crap options regardless.

Cosmos Rogue replied to MetalSkulkBane's topic in Sonic Community & Events
Grew up with the classics, so yeah, I'd still be a Sonic fan. Don't know if I'd be the kind of fan who posts on fan message boards if there was literally zero Sonic for two decades before Mania's release, though. -

It just goes to show, I can be as careful as I want but one wrong word and things just blow up. I didn't even say the phrase "meta era". I was just saying its been a prominent thing for a long while, which it has. I won't ever mention it again though since I couldn't imagine a conversation I want to have less right now.
