Doctor_Fruitbat posted:The problem with classic mode is that, as you noticed, it strips all context from the game, and as S3&K made clear it doesn't take too much effort to strip level transitions and cutscenes down to the absolute basics to create a coherent adventure with a few exciting story beats. It's all or nothing in Freedom Planet, and neither is optimal. I liked the story mode.

I love Freedom Planet (even the story mode), and if I had to choose between Sonic Mania and Freedom Planet 2, I'd choose Freedom Planet 2. Does that make me a bad person?

Dehry posted:Freedom Planet Freedom Planet is fantastic. YMMV on the story mode, which is optional. Personally, I think it's fine for an amateur effort, and I play with it on, but the general goon consensus is that it should be turned off. It made me nostalgic for the days when I was a dumb little kid reading bad Sonic fanfiction on SonicFoundation.net, so make of that what you will. Has a real banger of a soundtrack, though.

DoctorWhat posted:I think "promoting a fascist South American strongman" is pretty rancid. In fact, the Sonic Twitter has carried a lot of water for creeps and assholes lately; moat recently I saw them getting all buddy-buddy with @Arbys when Arby's was promoting their gross underage waifu OC. Hang on. What? I didn't hear about any of this.

Screaming Idiot posted:Eggman is his best when he's being a cartoon character instead of "psychotic monster" or whatever edgy poo poo that was in that comic panel. He's a big fat guy with a silly mustache who gets frustrated at a mischievous blue hedgehog, he's basically a Loony Toons villain. gently caress off. Penders' problem wasn't that he was 'edgy.' His problem was that he was a poo poo writer whose head was so far up his rear end that he could probably see the polyp causing all that diarrhea to come spewing out of his mouth. The Sonic comics had plenty of stories with high stakes, grave consequences, and serious tone long after Penders left, and unlike Penders they actually delivered on a satisfying narrative and were, you know... good. In the hands of a competent writer, you can have light-hearted comedy and levity and serious themes of loss, betrayal, and desperation in the same series without getting tonal whiplash from it. There's more than enough room in the series to accommodate both sets of expression, and in fact both those emotional zeniths and nadirs are amplified for the contrast.

Screaming Idiot posted:so is this sincereposting or what Yeah, it's sincere. I'm not really all that ashamed to admit that I unironically like the Sonic comics. I like the humor and the jokes and the silliness, but I also really like it when Sonic's narrative turns to the serious and the dramatic. The stories have had their misses. There's no disputing that. But when they try for pathos and actually manage to stick the landing, I think it's really great. I love the characters. Yes, I had big crushes on Princess Sally and Bunnie Rabbot when I was a little girl. I'm comfortable with that. I also really liked Ken Penders' work back in the day, but that was because I was a stupid kid, and Penders is really good at leaving dangling plot hooks all over the place. I saw all those hints at a larger grandiose and intricate narrative, and my imagination did all the heavy lifting in filling out the *massive* empty spaces in the plot. It was easy; I'd frequently miss issues here and there, so I always kind of assumed that Penders was referring to events and stories that had been detailed in issues I hadn't read yet. It was only with the benefit of years and years of hindsight that I realize he suckered me. He's the Star Citizen of Sonic writers: tons of vague but grandiose promises; wet fart of a delivery. Ian's run and the IDW comics are really, really good, though. The bleakest parts of the Metal Virus arc and the side stories in the Annual made me feel some real, genuine emotions, and I think that's awesome! I don't get why everyone doesn't think it's awesome! That bit where Metal Sonic dips their hand in the Metal Virus vat? Just perfect. So... yes, I sincerely love the Sonic comics, and I love it when they eschew the humor and try to tell an actual story with a solid emotional heart. I live for that stuff. Tangle and Whisper are super in love with each other and you'll never convince me otherwise. Edit: poo poo, loving... E-102 Gamma? Come on, that was a great story.

It's Hydro City. It's a city filled with water. Nearly all the S3&K zones follow the same <Descriptive word> <Location> format. This is an island of angels. This battery is flying. This palace is hidden. This base is for launching. This reef is full of lava. This sanctuary is in the sky, and this egg is DEATH. And this city is filled with water. It is hydrated. It is a hydro city. Hydro. City.

Larryb posted:Can they even use the SatAm/Archie characters anymore? I know Sega owns the rights to them but I remember there being some stipulation against them appearing in the IDW comic or something. Just a SEGA editorial mandate. There's nothing legally preventing the Freedom Fighters from appearing in Sonic media.

amigolupus posted:I know it's been like a week but I still find myself replaying the 30th anniversary concert every now and then because it's so loving good. Seeing how hyped and well-behaved the people in chat were also adds to the experience. Hell, same. I emailed my parents a link to the symphony and gave them a little bit of a spiel about how much Sonic has meant to over the past 30 years. My mom loves Crush 40 now. My dad liked the orchestral half more, but I think that's because he thinks he's "too cool" to enjoy butt rock. He's such a dork. Also, after some investigative discussions, my wife and I have also come to the startling and, perhaps, disquieting conclusion that we met because of Sonic.

Oxyclean posted:I'm pretty sure it does, but this is some cowardly poo poo. I grew up on Archie Sonic, so I have an unhealthy love for overwrought furry melodrama, where all the emotions are amped to telenovella levels. I'm cool with the existence of a "Classic Mode" for those who aren't strong enough, but I want Freedom Planet 2's story to be just as hammy and cringingly sincere as the first game, except even more so. That kind of poo poo makes me feel like a kid again. My brain is broken.
