Okay, I'll throw my hat in:



Part 1: Slugs, monsters, stammering, and awful video quality!
Part 2: Harder puzzles, easier puzzles, and better video quality!
Part 3: Floor 4, more of the same stuff, and depressing ineptitude.

I think he's a puzzle solving thing. On that second page there he goes behind the fan to turn it off so you can punch it down; in your video he was offscreen when it happened. I don't know if he can do anything else, though, because I never made it any farther than you did.

He can also find hidden items, including panel transitions. He's also useful for a specific enemy.

It's time for World 5. However, I decided to give the white block item a try. I really, really don't remember it being that powerful. It definitely is game-breaking in the right hands...

As a side note, it's kind of interesting to see different peoples' contributions to this thread; some people taking it more seriously, and some, like the Final Fight post, have a decidedly sarcastic bent to them. Kinda neat cross-section.

vvv I didn't mean anything in particular with regards to taking things seriously, it was meant as a complete tangent to my main post

I was going to argue against anyone being as bad as DSP, but I suppose there's a simple test - what would you do if I said (which I don't) that Grace is bringing down the video quality and you should ditch her? If your answer is anything less than banning me from your chat and Youtube channel comments, blocking me on every social media service you have, spending at least five minutes insulting me personally in one of your videos, inciting all your loyal fans to send me all the hate they have, something involving physical violence, and then tweeting ten times in a row that you never did any of those things, then you fall well short of being DSP, 2007 vintage or otherwise.

As far as I know, this is literally Rora's first time playing a console game. She's 7. This is a travesty. Therefore, we're going to be starting with the basics here.

Let's Teach - Super Mario Bros.!

That was so loving adorable I can't even describe it. It's the game I learned on too; I used to intentionally run into the goombas because I thought Mario's death animation was funny. Mom tried to tell me "that's not how you're supposed to play the game" until my Dad pointed out that if I was having fun, that was all that mattered.

On the subject of the 3d Sonic games, I still love SA (except Big) and most of SA2. But then again, I'm one of those weirdos who liked Shadow the Hedgehog, so you probably shouldn't listen to me on this subject.

Before and After The Sequel were both not nearly as bad as Epoch.

Still not quite up to "good" or even "worth the time it takes to download and play", but better than that.... thing.

Shady Amish Terror posted:

Eggman Hates Furries is a Sonic fangame (LP'ed in the fangame thread, even!), that, while still terrible in many, many ways, has some quite fun and ridiculous sections to play, and is so utterly batshit that it's worth the hour(?) or so you might take getting through it.

I enjoyed it when I played just for the sheer absurdity of the whole thing, and it's reasonably fast-paced with lots of checkpoints if you'd like to try it yourself, but if you're not into the idea of playing a questionable Sonic fangame with bizarre, uncomfortable, self-aware humor, bad platforming, and frustrating bosses (which comprise 90% of the gameplay), just hop over to the fangames thread and give it a look. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3595795

I did watch BtS and Eggman Hates Furries. They kind of made my brain hurt. I'll admit that Epoch is actually the worst I've seen, but I'm sure there are lower depths to sink to.

If I recall correctly, Capcom and Atlus worked out a deal in which Dante appeared in Nocturne (character not dissimilar from that of DMC 3/4), and in return one of the character designers from Atlus was contracted out for work on DMC 3.

Let's Play Sonic 2006 Episode 18 - Detective Silver

So Silver is like, canonically supposed to be really stupid, right?

Also I talk some poo poo about Blaze in this episode, but she's actually pretty much the Omega of Silver's story. Once you figure out the controls, and when you're not in Crisis City where controls go to die, she handles pretty drat well. Also I like her vague disinterest in every scene so far.

I love how Silver is basically Trunks from DBZ, if Trunks had been eating paint chips for the better part of his life. Even though it's not the same VA, they even sound the same!

Shoeless posted:

Guys, I just thought of the best burn for Sonic 06.

Crisis City? More like Crisis lovely!

Actual serious talk- the reason 06 doesn't match previous games and stuff is because it was supposed to be a total reboot of the continuity and franchise. So they basically tossed everything else out. I don't know why they put in Shadow with 0 explanation though, with Sonic clearly having known him before, I think that's just crap writing. Truly a stand-out moment with the otherwise excellent writing and gameplay of Sonic 2006 :v:

I'm pretty sure the "reboot" idea was scrapped partway through, and they decided to go with what they already had finished and tried to mash it together with pre-existing stuff.

I had forgotten how utterly stupid Sonic '06's ending was. It made me think of Drakengard's ending E, except for the fact that Sonic '06 doesn't have a Nier analogue, so there is no redemption.

Somebody should do Drakengard.
