His thread seems less like he supports arenanet's decision and more that he understands the true but unfair reality that employees of a company de facto represent the company even on personal twitter accounts, and so until something changes there it's probably best policy to be amicable even if one gets angry on line

Still victim-blaming horseshit. If he's too cowardly or bankrupt to be on the right side of this he should just shut up.

The only way you should play Unleashed is by that mod that ports all the good Sonic levels into Generations. The werehog is some of the worst poo poo ever in Sonic.

I really want a rerelease or mod of Unleashed that tightens everything up - no jazz music, no fog walls preventing progress, faster levelling, tweak Sonic's movement to be way less slidey, no more balance beams that you can't then grab back onto after falling, add an extra fifteen seconds to each of Sonic's sections of the final boss, no more "WOOOOOO!" on every boost. Fix those and a lot of the more intolerable parts of the game are dealt with.

The jazz music was the only somewhat decent part about the warehog.

Apologies, obviously the level music gets to stay. The battle music and "WOOOOO!" need to be aggressively toned down at the very least.

decrease enemy HP, add an enemy lock on feature, speed up his movement by 50 %, and decrease the necessary exp gain, and the werehog works just fine, in my opinion.

For daylight stuff, cut down/rework the medal system.

The only way to fix the wearhog would be to scrap it entirely and let platinum do it.

They were working on a 2.0 version of it that did include those at some point. But who knows if it was ever finished.

The werehog stages weren't bad but I'd let Hideki Kamiya tear gouges out of my skin and use the wounds to put out cigarettes after playing MGR, so hell yes I'd let him do it.

The battle music jazz on it's own isn't bad. It's just that it overrides the cool as hell nighttime music every single time combat happens, which is frequently and constantly in those stages. On top of that it always starts from the beginning of the track instead of picking up in the middle wherever it last left off so you just hear the beginning riff 5,000 times a night stage and you just want to stab your ears out.

It's especially a crime because the actual stage themes for night stages are loving baller.

Somehow she's less sexualized now by the sonic fanbase

If we're playing that game, my actual vision would be modding a hypothetical action sonic with a new endgame difficulty. Super Hard crossed with Expert crossed with Soleanna's apple festival.

Sea travel in Pokemon always sucked. It's literally just Water Caves but with a different background, and everyone complains about the caves because you're constantly getting random encounters of the same one or two pokemon and they're boring.

But when a large website complains about surfing suddenly every acts like they always loved fighting a million sharpedo/tentacool.
