Is it me or is this game somehow getting worse with each new mission? Why would Eggman blow up the moon?

Just you wait until the next couple episodes, holy poo poo.

And I still like the game in spite of all its faults and play a Sonic stage or two every once in a while, but to be fair I did play it back in 2002 or whatever when it came out for the Gamecube, so my childhood memories might be screwing with me.

It definitely feels like one of those games that did not at all age well. I can certainly understand the mind set of "this game really isn't good but god dammit I love it" considering that's 90% of the games I like.

Let's Play Sonic Adventure 2 Episode 8 - Everything's FINE.

We had absolutely zero technical problems before this episode, and absolutely did not record this level four times before we made it through without anything crashing.

Also the joke I started making at 5:33 was "This really Chaos Controls my thirst!"

Grace is still yelling at me for it. It's been days.

It's all in your head, apparently. According to the Sonic the Hedgehog wiki (which has 8,500 pages by the way), there are 10 Rouge/Knuckles levels and 20-ish Everyone Else levels. That means that every character has about 5 levels, but since Rouge and Knuckles share a gimmick, you play their type of level more often at least.


Admiral H. Curtiss posted:

There's five stages per character, except for Sonic/Shadow which split up at six Sonic and four Shadow.

Categorizing them per type, there's:
- 10 running levels (Sonic and Shadow)
- 9 mech levels (five Eggman and four Tails)
- 9 hunting levels (five Knuckles and four Rogue)
- 2 kart racing ones (Tails and Rogue)

So yes, it's all in your head.

I don't remember if this happens in Sonic Adventure 2 or Shadow the Hedgehog but I'm loving posting it anyway because I just remembered that it's a thing he actually says.

The writing in these games is genius

The only thing I know about the Shadow the Hedgehog game is that apparently the President is in it again, and he has a picture of Sonic on his desk.

I'm pretty sure I can't deal with that.

Let's Stream Sonic Adventure 2: Battle - Part 1
With KillerEmcee and FutureFriend.

Wait, why aren't you ignoring the objective or jumping around instadeath pits? Isn't that how you're supposed to play?

On a serious note, now that we've beaten the game, I can honestly say I DO kind of enjoy it, in that early 2000s "Our team doesn't really have this 3d game thing down pat" kind of charm. It was mostly fun to play aside from some horrible design decisions (especially the drat search levels, at least Knuckles had his music. gently caress the mines though.) Also the plot is so hilariously "Who loving cares", especially when someone on the team decides to try to get serious near the end.

Grace must never know I enjoyed playing (most of) this game. The Shadow the Hedgehog game keeps getting brought up, and I heard it's not the fun and charming kind of 'bad game'.

Also, maybe you figured it out, but it's useful for the next time the game asks you if you want to learn about something. A is the cancel button and B is confirm. So using an Xbox controller, switch those letters. Or just remember, "Jump" is confirm.

Actually, selecting "yes" plays a much longer interactive sequence teaching you about stuff, saying you know what's up prompts the shorter explaination.

Your guess is as good as mine :shrug:

I always found it really strange that the Milky Way Wishes portion of the game completely did away with the established swallow/copy mechanics for some strange reason. It's good to see more Kirby regardless.

Yeah I never 100% enjoyed Milky Way Wishes because it does the copy thing so wierdly. I love the last couple levels, but when I play on my own, I just end up using Mallet or Sword all the time. :shrug: Then again, I love Great Cave Offensive, so my opinions are generally incorrect.

When Grace was off-screen for a while there she was just floating as Kirby, as in his completely regular press-up-to-fly form, which will always float to the top of a body of water. I don't know how she somehow never hit Y to exhale while trying to get back down.

I actually considered that at the time, but I thought "There's no way even Grace could do that on a screen that's 90% water." Rewatching the footage makes me realize there's no limit to how terrible the two of us are at video games.

To be honest, a big part of why we suck is minor input lag and forgetfulness. I've played tons of both Superstar and Superstar Ultra, but aside from a little helper to hero, I've NEVER played as any of the helpers. Grace only ever played Superstar once before this, which is why we decided to make Grace player 1.

Seriously though, I feel slightly depressed that I managed to beat the True Arena, and yet Marx managed to total party wipe us twice :(
