when I wrote that. I laughed when this started playing, its so bad. Especially when it was knuckles himself who broke the emerald into a million shards and some dude raps about how Rouge stole it and shes sexy as oooh and eating play doh

Sorry knuckles's raps are actually the best part of adventure 2

edit: that or the faker cutscene or the "tails accidentally tells eggman about the fake emerald" scene

Youtube has been trying to show me one particular (non-final) boss ever since the leak and the thumbnail basically ruins the entire thing for me anyway so I finally caved, watched it, and straight up deleted Youtube from my history to remove the temptation to see any more of this game.

God I can't wait for this game though.

I saw part of the final boss thumbnail clicking on that mania reaction video... goodbye youtube

Edit: aaaand youtube just spoiled yet another level for me with its suggestions so no more youtube until Tuesday. gently caress you youtube.

Guys, Freedom Planet is actually fun, jus-..Just, don't do the story mode, jump straight into arcade.

I couldn't stand the first cutscene in story mode, but Arcade mode was like playing a sonic game, but actually good.

Look on the bright side.



I didn't really enjoy Freedom Planet even on arcade. The character abilities and level design were mediocre imo. Playing it just made me want to play Sonic 3 Complete instead.

If you don't want wanna be spoiled on YouTube just wipe your viewing history and don't look up sonic. Shouldn't show you sonic videos then.

Can't stop watching the intro, it gives me chills watching them go up that elevator. As a game, Mania isn't going to be anything more than a fun platformer, but it's still basically the platonic ideal of everything I loved about Sonic. In that sense it's a work of god drat art.

When I was a kid I thought Sega was legitimately going to kill off Sonic the Hedgehog by shooting him into space and having him burn up in the atmosphere, because the Dreamcast was dying and it would be symbolic if Sonic died too. I was so emotional and hosed up by the idea of Sonic dying that I missed the part of the cutscene where he says he's going to try doing Chaos Control with the fake emerald, and then I couldn't get past the Eggman boss fight for several weeks (it was so hard that it HAD to be the final boss, further cementing the idea that Sonic was loving dead and there wouldn't be anything after it)

Sonic Adventure 2 is not very good but the "you never cease to surprise me blue hedgehog" cutscene still gets me pumped the gently caress up

Freedom Planet is a fun game to me but it's not a good Sonic game. It's more like one of those other weird Genesis platformers that were vaguely Sonic-esque but not quite Sonic.

freedom planet is a really good video game but it is not a Sonic game and does not play anything like one and that is more or less the precise reason I like it more than any given 2d sonic game.

I recommend it if you would like to play a momentum based platformer where the combat isn't incredibly basic and the bosses aren't forgettable. I do not recommend it if you want Sonic But Indie, because it is not that.

also the ken penders comparison is moronic and we're not reading the same script, the story's bad but for basically totally different reasons to why penders is.

Ken Penders - Bad

Freedom Planet's Gameplay, Aesthetic, Music, etc. - Good

Freedom Planet's Story - Oddly out of place for a goofy Megadrive-esque platformer.

I found the story of Freedom Planet oddly charming. Like, not GOOD, but schlocky and bad in a way that it's kind of self aware about. It felt like a game that kinda knew it was about edgy furry OC Do Not Steals and just ran with it to me.

im not gonna get mad if i get spoiled on something, but i wont go out of my way just to spoil myself things.

the thing i've pointed out as ridiculous are people who have waited literal decades for this game but the second it gets pushed back two weeks they cancel preorder spoil themselves and get angry.
Like I said, it's bizarre.

If anything, it's annoying to have to avoid spoilers for a game you want to play fresh, where internet idiots decide that the best thing to do when there's a game just days from being released is to upload footage of everything and make it way too stupidly easy to stumble upon.

It's not rage inducing but it's certainly a bit annoying.
