I forgot they were doing this. When did the Sonic event happen again? Cause it's been awhile from when they announced this to it happening now.

As sins of patreon goes, that one is way down the list.

Apparently Sonic Mania was playable at PSX but I haven't seen any news about it so I guess nothing exciting happened?

That's pretty tame by Patreon standards. I clicked it expecting someone asking for $40,000 for cosmetic surgery and a legal name change.

Not at such a low price point. Still working out the reward tier. I really love my hair. I ain't shaving it for cheap. Dick pics would be like...Coconuts tier.

Based on the :shudder: rest of the account, the answer is yes. The dolls are about a foot tall. There's nothing pornographic, but I feel it's ok to be creeped out by...Cake and Cherry.

Eh, Colors and Generations were decent, Lost World was mediocre at worst, Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is passable enough (avoid the other two games in the series though) and from what I've heard, intital reports on the upcoming Sonic Mania have been fairly positive (not to mention it's being made by the same guy behind the Sonic CD and Sonic 2 remakes, both of which were well received).

Not a garauntee of course but so far at least there's a chance of the upcoming games being decent (I do wish they'd show some more footage from Sonic '17 though).

Lost World is so bad, so loving terrible in every possible way that it is one of the few games that makes me angry at ever having bought it. I will never let a 'Lost World wasn't THAT bad' comment go unchallenged. My hatred for it burns like the sun.

To be fair, Lost World starts off ok, then takes a sharp nosedive later on. The fact the game doesn't really explain the controls that well is also a mark against it (I only just recently figured out how to Light Dash with the Hover Wisp for example). The only reason I personally rate it as "ok" is that the 3DS version is much, much worse. In fact, it's the only Sonic game aside from Sonic Labyrinth that I refuse to replay.

Lost World is awful but had it been in development like 2 more years, ditched the wii u pad crap, simplified the control scheme and just polished up the controls/movement it could have been something great.

Controversial sonic 'pinion incoming here guys but I think its final boss is worse than Generations' because of how completely lazy and phoned in it is...

Look on the bright side.



I still enjoyed Lost World more than any of the other 3D Sonic games. It feels pretty good moving around once you understand the controls. I still wouldn't call it a good game though due to not enough decent levels to make it worth the time to learn those controls.

What the gently caress, the 3DS version is... better. By a little.

And the first two acts are inexplicably the best 3D Sonic there ever was. Two great levels, and the controls are fantastic. And then the following 98% of the game is sheer trash.

I wish his remakes would be ported to consoles (or something that isn't iOS.) That Sonic 2 remake looked excellent.

They're on Android too. If you want them on PC, try an emulator like Memu - you can buy them off the app store through there, although I found the controls somewhat fiddly to set up.

Also I like that beep's solution to fixing Lost World is basically just to redo it.

That's a completely different port, though it does add 3D to the layers of the level which is kinda weird/cool.

Sonic 1 and 2 on 3DS was done by M2 (Probably the best dev for remastering old games) and are great versions in their own right.
