what a good thread title, thank you for indulging me speaking of, i beat sonic colors earlier today! fantastic sonic, would play again in several months on a system that can do its lovely level aesthetics justice. tropical resort, starlight carnival, sweet mountain, asteroid coaster, aquarium park, planet wisp, and terminal velocity are all such cool areas, wisp powers are all fun to mess around with and really open up the levels, short gimmicky levels like unleashed had return but are much more enjoyable here and not full of strict QTEs, and the game controls a lot better than unleashed. aside from eggman's canned park announcements, i wasn't a big fan of the writing, especially with sonic and tails, (it was written by some people from some weird looking show called happy tree friends??) but the writing was also very much not the focus this time around so it wasn't a big deal next up is.........sonic cd! i'm very excited for generations but feel this is an appropriate time to go back and check out cd and chaotix since i skipped over them before

Jay Rust posted:What don’t you like about p4 (Persona 4)? the dungeons are garbage, the battle system vs regular enemies is boring "guess the random elemental weakness," the battle system vs bosses is boring "use buffs and debuffs," none of the party members really do anything for me except kanji and i actively dislike yosuke and teddie, too many social links end with the person deciding that actually they love the status quo they've been stuck in, because the main character is a silent lump almost every social link is just someone talking at you as you enable them for maximum friend points, the game's sense of humor is generally mean-spirited and unfunny, the central mystery sucks, the pacing in the latter half of the game drags because there are three different dungeons that have to potentially serve as the final one, i'd rather just watch diamond is unbreakable again. i loved the game the first time i played through it and got a vita to play golden, but the more i thought about it over the course of all that playtime the more i realized i disliked more than i liked quest 64 is a hard game to defend but i just can't help but like it

LionArcher posted:I pre paid in full a week before release. When I went in to pay the $450, They informed me I had to buy a warranty with them and two additional items or they would release my pre order to someone else because of scalpers. They included a list of items. I had already pre-ordered the controller charger, so I added the tv media remote and... a pop funko because it was the cheapest item on the list. Total extra cost was $100. Technically $130 extra because I had to include the controller stand charger, but I was buying that anyway. lmao what the gently caress

Chillgamesh posted:idk if this is the thread for this but lately I've been really wanting to play a game like Mega Man Legends. Don't want to just play MML/2/Tron Bonne again for the 80th time though. Anyone got any recommendations? If you've never played them, imagine Zelda with slightly more RPG mechanics and also it's a third person shooter. i haven't actually played any of the games i'm about to name (besides mml obvi) but i've heard people say the lost planet series is inspired by mega man legends, and there's delta gal which is about as similar as you can get it seems: https://arthur-vyater.itch.io/delta-gal

i finished sonic cd last night! and i think i loved just about everything except actually playing it lol. to start with the negative, the level design in every level is a spaghetti fever dream filled with samey architecture and speed traps, the latter of which are meant to facilitate the central time travel mechanic but are really annoying otherwise. coupled with busy environments and a lack of contrast between foreground and background elements, it can be hard to tell where you are and what you can interact with. your goal, besides reaching the end of the level, is to find eggman's robot transporters hidden somewhere in the past. you can also find and destroy hologram generators of metal sonic bullying animals. this means there's a lot of exploration, which the screen really isn't big enough to handle with how large levels can be and how tricky they can be to navigate in directions other than forward. also while the super peel out is cool, they ruined the spin dash! that said, the game is gorgeous and even the deliberately grungy and broken down bad futures are a delight to look at. i listened to the us soundtrack, which has a very different vibe than sonic's usual fare and features the guy who did ecco the dolphin's music so you're getting a lot of ambience and heavy synth, and it worked really well! the whole time travel concept, where every level has four different states of past, present, bad future, and good future and your actions in the past dictate which future you get, is extremely cool even if the game stumbles a bit on navigating them. that every level has different tile sets and music for each state owns. you can also fortunately get the good ending by entering the special stage and earning all seven time stones, and cd's special stage is good! you're running around a kind of mode 7-esque road smashing ufos and must avoid getting your feet wet at all costs. sonic cd also introduces my favorite sonic character (and metal sonic i guess) so i could never truly dislike it. this time around i played the original version on an emulator so i could have the benefit of rewinds while figuring out the time travel but i'm thinking of revisiting it again soon via the steam version. hopefully unlocking tails isn't too difficult so i can run through with him and the jp soundtrack

Too bad about everything else. no way! okay maybe if you were playing co-op with an actual human it'd be a nightmare, but the high momentum rubber-bandy gimmick makes zipping through stages a blast solo, i've had a ton of fun messing around with it Arzaac posted:Does Knuckles Chaotix even have enemies? yeah there are plenty of regular enemies. if your partner takes a hit then they only drop one ring which is nice, and there's a powerup monitor that causes you to drop one super ring containing everything on your next hit

deckbuilders aren't really in vogue anymore but i still hold out hope that maybe lost kingdoms will see the light of day again also i started up sonic generations over the weekend and there's so much affection put into it that love fills my heart, from classic sonic doing his little wiggle as he runs to the shadow battle intro recreating sa2b's title screen to all the music, new and old, it's so good
