Yeah that tweet was from 2013 and isn't IMC's deal that he was fairly normal until like 2015 when Gamergate broke his brain and he went full fash
No he was the sort of overly performative nice guy that's usually just a cover for abuse, and then went full fash due to Gamergate.

If Gamergate was able to turn into a full-on fascist that simps for a government you're not even under, you were probably riding the fence of whatever you used to be against, waiting for the moment to jump and start grazing in what you thought were greener pastures.

It feels like with the right kit one could mod Sonic Heroes into a good game, but that's probably more effort than anyone is willing to put in.

I had the PS2 version as a teen, and let me tell you it's impossible to finish. The controls are terrible.

I managed to do it but there is one secret level that is a massive jump in difficulty and on the Ps2 it is almost torture trying to get it done.

I haven't played Heroes since it came out but that video gave me vivid flashbacks. Every single little thing he had trouble with I remember also falling foul of. That raising lava section with the hard to parse in 3D grab rings, that one rail that either drops you in a pit or you end up riding slowly backwards. That one switch you have to grab as tails. The constant fear that any slight movement may lauch you character off into the void.

I would've quit a lot sooner if I wasn't streaming the game at the time, back when I owned this game for Gamecube in the early 2000's I think I finished the game, but it's all a blur now.

I loved Sonic Adventure 1&2 and this was my first experience being very disappointed with a Sonic game, I even liked Shadow the Hedgehog better than Sonic Heroes.

I think Sonic Heroes was the first game I ever Preordered lol. I was a very cool 16 year old who liked mature things like Sonic Adventure 2: battle so the very kid targeted story was my biggest disappointment.

Really nice looking game though, probably the most successful at adapting the checkerboard nonsense from the originals. Theres a huge disconnect where seeing Bingo highway in like Team Sonic Racing brings on a nostalgic reverie but seeing actual video of Bingo Highway in Sonic Heroes just stresses me out.

Also for years I've been saying "level up" with a weird cadence whenever I level up in any videogame and now I finally rememer where I got that from, its the weird way Knuckles says it in Heroes. Those voice clips are burned deep into my psyche it seems.

It's weird that Sonic and Mario are half frozen in time storywise. New characters can show up and that's fine but no one can change or have any real character development.

Sonic Heroes sucks as a game, and I'd have been miserable if I had spent my allowance on a new copy, but it has exactly enough jank that you can have fun with it if you're willing to work at it. Like if you try to play it normal it will glitch and kill you, but if you try to glitch it you can skip past whole sections or cut across areas you shouldn't and sorts of whacky poo poo.

Shadow was significantly worse in that it was hard to enjoy even if your were trying dumb poo poo.

I don't remember enough to find the article, but it was a specific one where the reviewer had overall good reviews of the game but then criticized it for it's portrayel of women. Like, it wasn't even a particularly harsh review it was just like "yeah witcher is a lot of fun but has some problematic parts" and IMC lost his goddamned mind.

Most cartoon characters are like that though, like Spacejam 2 isn't going to have a three arc character development for Bugs Bunny in it.

edit: oh gently caress, just did a google search out of curiosity, what a way to realise that SpaceJam 2 is real thing. Did i will that into existence with my dumb joke I hope not.

Apparently the PC port of Sonic Heroes was based on a pre-release beta version of all things, which may have something to do with how janky it is. Does it play better on any of the other consoles it came out for?

It is amazing to me that the most beloved and best feature of all Sonic games, the Chao Garden, never made it into any game past Sonic Adventure 2.

Instead we got poo poo like Sonic Riders where he surfs on the air and Charmy the Bee
