Strange that it's not just red star rings for collectables now, but it adds on those 5 ring countdown things (idk if there's a proper term for those?) and timed moons that you only get after collecting the previous thing. That's a lot of collectables if it's for every stage. And yet no one knows if collecting everything gets you anything?

I got the 360 one. Apparently the PS3/360 one is worse, and the PS3 is the outright worst of them all?

Forgot to catch this, but no the 360/PS3 (HD) version is generally better. The Wii/PS2 (SD) version has a better final boss, no medal hunting, and the werehog stages have slightly less platforming and start out kinda shorter. But the daytime stages aren't nearly as good as the HD versions, the werehog is a lot worse to control in combat and has access to less movement options and finishers, the hubs are even more bland and generic with none of the sidequests, and a lot less side stages. Also looks worse cause y'know.

PS3 one is generally considered worse than the 360 version. PS3 targeted 60 fps but the stages often had lag problems so you'd only get brief moments of 60 fps and a bunch of times it dragged to 30ish range anyways. 360 version targeted 30 fps and was more stable. PS3 version also had longer loading times in general.

If you got Feelings about this game, I encourage you to go fill it out and give them some constructive feedback. Who knows how or if it will get used but it can't hurt to let your thoughts be known anyways!

I was offered this game for 5 bucks so wound up getting it anyway. It's a bad game but that's not a big shocker

Lol at Stage 23 though where Sonic doesn't gravitate to the middle of the stage so he just flies off a certain bend if you glance at the boost button. I even slowed down to a half sprint and I still couldn't tear him away from that ledge. I had to basically gently prod forward on the control stick to get him to not kill himself. Absolutely terrible.

So I've played a bit more and I've figured out why Infinite works for me.

He reminds me of Scourge.

I mean, he's not as whimsical as Scourge, but they have the "hyper aggressive loser who reinvents himself based on his coming up short compared to other people around him". The way he keeps going on about how frail and pathetic everyone else is while either constantly over-reacting to everything bad that happens to him or brushing it off with flimsy "that didn't count" bullshit is another thing Scourge would do when he was written under Ian.

I dunno. It's not really being played ironically but I can see and appreciate what they're going for here. Part of it is due to Liam O'Brien's voice work, also.

i thought of that too, like, it'd let them use all the clothing stuff in the rest of the levels and people could show off their idiot sonic outfits too.

alternatively, you can only give him scarves

Yeah I think that's safe to say, though I haven't experimented with every weapon on most stages yet. There are a couple of stages that look like it'd be okay, but you could still use lightning/burst almost as well so why bother

Game Knuckles is thick headed and stubborn with a temper, not a total moron. He has moments of insight and clarity in the Adventure titles, and this takes more closely after those.

The "durr meathead" characterization is Boom Knuckles.

Um they considered my OC to be very brave and cool and instrumental in saving the world actually. And they're all my friends and are proud of me. :colbert:

Also, Knuckles owns in this game. Like every character really because the writing is very sincere about all this. Knuckles is the big leader man talking about intel and being asked about sitrep's and making plans and strategies and everybody encourages and accepts this as the proper procedure. It's almost absurd and treated with as much sincerity by the story as possible. It's amazing.

Yes, I'm fully aware of that.

But honestly, who else are you gonna call on to take the lead in a situation like this? Shadow is doing whatever, Tails is convinced he has to do something else, and Espio willingly plays second fiddle to Vector. You gonna put SILVER in charge of poo poo?

The rings you get give you a bunch of score, and I got one that gives you bonus points based on how many enemies you kill in short succession.

Starting Episode Shadow and as always the music IS lit! And did I already mention Kirk Thornton has improved so much and is actually doing a fantastic job as Shadow compared to that terrible generic evil guy voice he has in Sonic Boom? Yeah I did but man this is Shadow! He sounds so good!!! Four for you Kirk Thornton, you deserve the gold stars for showing such great improvement!

i was actually really surprised and happy with his performance as shadow in this. i really didn't care for his take on the character before but he did a great job this time.

So I just did this SOS mission where the Avatar I had to play as Fire Wispon that seems to make me run faster. It was about as fast as Sonic in boost. It caught me off guard and I almost fell off the map.
