[atomic topaz]

does 360 have like a 30fps cap

[flint folio]

Yes

[atomic topaz]

or is it 60 too

Oh

[flint folio]

The ps3 hits 60fps about as often as the moon hits the earth

[atomic topaz]

lol

[flint folio]

The ps3 version has better colours, and has like.. one level where it’s 60, otherwise the 360 version is more stable - both are fine.
The frame rate is poor on both but that’s such a small price to pay for such a good game

[atomic topaz]

it also tends to run multiplatform games glitchier/less stable then the 360 version

because of its hardware being all "unique"

[flint folio]

You’re telling me stuff I already know

[atomic topaz]

i know

its still fun to type it tho, idk

[flint folio]

I just don’t want you going off on one about some consoles I was just answering your queries on sonic unleashed

[atomic topaz]

thats fine

[flint folio]

That being said I do want to 100% unleashed on ps3, I got a good chunk of the trophies

[atomic topaz]

ive been thinking of ordering the 3DS sonic games i dont have

lost world and fire ice

[glass spade]

xbox one is toaster?

what xbox one did u use

[flint folio]

Well, the Xbox one

[atomic topaz]

i feel like maybe the werehog levels got me to stop playing it for awhile

[flint folio]

You know, all the others have names too

[glass spade]

yeah theres like 3

[flint folio]

Which aren’t called Xbox one

[glass spade]

the OG, S and X

[flint folio]

What is the OG called

[glass spade]

mine ran fine on the S

[atomic topaz]

they arent terrible but pretty slow at times, especially if you mess up the platforming

[glass spade]

okay u have a point

but still

[flint folio]

That’s because the S has actually slightly better power

The OG XBone is an actual toaster

The One S actually had some upgrades

[atomic topaz]

can someone send me a series x ty

send it to me via giant bird

[flint folio]

Hold the grab button for platforming it saves you a lot of time

[glass spade]

one S is pretty goated tbh

[atomic topaz]

i'll try to remember that

fs

[flint folio]

Sonic Unleashed is entirely based on how much you like the werehog

[atomic topaz]

i just like going fast

[flint folio]

The combo YYXXX or the Donkey kick? I think it’s called is the only move you need

[atomic topaz]

frontiers has nailed that

[glass spade]

obviously frontiers is new and itll go down

but this is crazy

[flint folio]

Frontiers is only going down because of Dunkey causing ape brains to react

[glass spade]

dunkeys video was funny tho tbh

his voice just makes everything funny

[flint folio]

You could say for so many games that you “just like driving” or combat, or shooting, but many games are more than that

[atomic topaz]

Yea

thats very tru

[flint folio]

Sure, but the fan base reaction has meant frontiers is being reviewbombed with 0s to get it to be lower

And even if you don’t like it, it’s not a 0 is it lol

I understood the 72% as well as people giving it 9s and 10s

I even understood the 4/10 it got from Nintendo Life to an extent

But just spamming 0s because of youtube is really sad

[glass spade]

no way we've been through hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and review bombing is a reaction that people have when seeing something they like is rated lower to something they feel is inferior

[flint folio]

It’s just sad, but the game still sits at 8.5+ so it’s fine I suppose

I gave the game a 9/10 since it just had a few things missing, and some polish, from being perfect

[atomic topaz]

i dont understand how that game can be review bombed
its not like its a minority led franchise movie/show

[atomic topaz]

the internet can rlly suck

[flint folio]

Sonic bad
0/10

What baffles me is how small sonic team is, and how desperately this game says they need more employees

The reason these games come out and need delays is they simply need forever to make them, there’s 60 of the cunts

[atomic topaz]

oh yeah that does actually make sense

[flint folio]

Like, these guys should not be capable of massive open area 3D platformers of AAA stature

There’s a reason there’s so much oversight, because meeting SEGAs deadlines while still making a good game means they have too, otherwise it would have come out late 2023 lol

And sure, give them that time but these games are sure as hell not long enough to warrant it, you can finish everything but maxing yourself out in like 35 hours

Just the main story is about 15

[glass spade]

maybe the postive reviews of this game may push sega that way

[atomic topaz]

sonic rush 3

[glass spade]

feel like since 06 theyve been scared to make anything massively ambitious

[atomic topaz]

i am such a whore for bringing back forgotten series

[flint folio]

Unleashed was the last massive ambitious title, really

[atomic topaz]

quo did you mean ambitious

[glass spade]

yeah

wtf

my brain did a bleh

my bad

[flint folio]

06 made them bin adventure style, and unleashed made them bin ambition and story telling, made colours.. which had next to no story and similar gameplay, and did great - they took the wrong message

[glass spade]

yeah

[flint folio]

Colours was pretty good, but it was a backwards step in game design

[atomic topaz]

i just dont think its good that we havent had an original unique 2D sonic game in 15 years

[glass spade]

should i unwrap my steelbook for frontiers

its still in the plastic wrap

[flint folio]

Mine came with a dent so whatever

[glass spade]

WHAT

[atomic topaz]

well does sonic 4 count

prolly not

[flint folio]

Barely

[atomic topaz]

its a sequel to sonic 3 and knuckles and also bad

i dont even need rush 3 to be honest

just something that follows in its footsteps

[glass spade]

sonic and the dark brotherhood

or something like that i forgot

[atomic topaz]

advance and rush proved that 2d sonic doesnt have to look like genesis

and i love it for that

like now, considering how much mania relied on genesis nostalgia, rush really stands out

[flint folio]

Skeet is really like ok anyway about sonic rush

[atomic topaz]

[glass spade]

a beautiful mess idc

[grizzled stone]

there's a giant green bug man in the PS3 and he's ruining the performance

https://tenor.com/view/cell-think-dbz-dbs-perfect-gif-9943214

[atomic topaz]

shrek?

Yeah blame the Shrek 3 video game on why the ps3 lost to the 360

[grizzled stone]

YES

[atomic topaz]

YES

And he's denying it lol

"oh look at this those reviews are very good I wonder why" and suddenly it gets a .2 reduction in score? It is not a coincidence lol

[ornate oyster]

I watched one review and it said the game was better than expected but not great

Just good

[glass spade]

we fr can never have fun lol

sonic fans finally get a fun nice game to play

@flint folio quick you gotta learn Japanese

They're looking for ppl to work on the sonic series

I thiught that image was from black Knight for a seco d

[glass spade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlsBCUkvwBs

[glass spade]

i personally should sit there and watch them make the same

[atomic topaz]

similar art style i guess?

[glass spade]

they should fr have just like

stuck with the 06 design

that was peak sonic

good model

[atomic topaz]

uh

thats debatable

[glass spade]

what do u thinks the best model?

[atomic topaz]

his eyes always looked kinda off to me in 06

[next tartan]

Ew no

Sonic adventure model all the way

Have you seen the supersonic mod for frontiers which replaces the super sonic model with one modelled after adventure? It looks 10 times better

[atomic topaz]

i forgot frontiers came out for pc

[next tartan]

Maybe sa2 model over sonic adventure but those two had the best models

I did too

[flint folio]

Unleashed model peak

06 was cool but not as good

[atomic topaz]

the face is just kinda off a bit

[next tartan]

Mm

[atomic topaz]

its like overly serious?

[next tartan]

The proportions bug me somewhat

[atomic topaz]

or something like that

[grizzled stone]

Unleashed is my jam for Sonic design

Also the non-sonic bits, like the people

[glass spade]

what do you lot think is the best sonic ost?

[grizzled stone]

Heroes maybe

[next tartan]

How to pick the shiniest diamond in a jewelry shop

[atomic topaz]

sonic rush and rush adventure is a standout for me

[flint folio]

frontiers, 06, adventure 2

[atomic topaz]

joe bouta be like "classic skeet moment"

[next tartan]

Sonic rush IS a classic soundtrack

[atomic topaz]

yea

[next tartan]

But it is not on Spotify

Which I am fuming about

[atomic topaz]

Jet set radio guy

[next tartan]

Hideki naganuma

[flint folio]

i should write a post-it note to not mention sonic rush otherwise skeet will be gone for 20 minutes

[atomic topaz]

Ye

huh

[flint folio]

the paragraphs will flow

[atomic topaz]

why would i be gone

Oh

i kniw what you mean

[flint folio]

idk its not the best wording but dont focus on that bit

the pace required to get the joke out outweighs my ability to choose the right word

[atomic topaz]

20 minutes to write my crazy essay about sonic rush

[flint folio]

20 minutes for a thesis on the OST, gameplay, the sequel, and the need for rush 3 and then a little bit about colours ds not rush 3

[atomic topaz]

5 page essay on whether or not Colors DS should be considered as rush 3

[flint folio]

i hope for a page on "3rd rush game not rush 3" explanation

[atomic topaz]

because its derivative of a wii game

[atomic topaz]

yeah

rush adventure was pretty different from the original with the weird padding stuff it introduced, maybe a 3rd rush style game could go further

[glass spade]

same but i havnet heard all of frontiers

havent even played for like a week cos i got my parents took my xbox away LOL

[atomic topaz]

Sonic Adventure 2 is pretty unique with all the rap stuff in its ost

Sonic R- while short, i love for its techno pop jams

[glass spade]

yeah knuckles raps went way too hard

like nas vibes

[atomic topaz]

Kinda!

i kinda get what you mean

If I were to compare it to 90s rap, it definitely draws from East Coast more

[glass spade]

he had a ny state of mind type flow on one of them iirc

[flint folio]

Me neither, but the boss themes are enough

Snubbed for GOTY nomination for soundtrack😤

[atomic topaz]

did the game awards already reveal the noms?

[flint folio]

Yes

[atomic topaz]

Damn

[flint folio]

GOTY noms are Stray, GOW:Cumrag, Xeno 3, Plague Tale, Elden Ring

[atomic topaz]

i voted for sonic 2 for best adaptation

[flint folio]

Ye

[atomic topaz]

Cyberpunk Edgerunners was a close second for me tho, that show look fuckin sick

i need to watch it

[flint folio]

Fella nearly voted for a show he hasn’t even seen

[atomic topaz]

everyone said it was excellent

i wouldve given it my vote for aesthetics alone

[flint folio]

I understand that, but it’s still funny

[atomic topaz]

i voted for god of war ragnarok in like 3 of the categories it was featured in

if i had played it, you'd probably have heard me mention it by now

[flint folio]

Sonic Frontiers is my GOTY but other solid titles were Pokémon Legends Arceus, and maybe splatoon 3

What else came out this year

[glass spade]

they only count votes if you voted for everything

so i voted for shit that i felt looked nice

if i didnt play the other shits

https://tenor.com/view/fuark-zyzz-fuark-yeah-sickkunt-aziz-gif-25729086

[flint folio]

50 on Xbox series consoles

I maxed out my speed stat😎

[glass spade]

xbox players amr...

[flint folio]

Pfft, Xbox players

With their 60fps sonic unleashed

Oh

[atomic topaz]

Pfft, 3DS players
only having handheld variants of console games and tie-ins for a tv show

[flint folio]

How dare the 3ds have handheld versions of games

[atomic topaz]

i am awkeard yes

i was poking fun at how it doesnt have a fully original sonic title

[flint folio]

Only really by technicality, generations had a few different things and levels, boom only doesn’t count because it’s a TV show, and lost world had its own quips too

[glass spade]

imagine not having 60fps unleashed

peak

tbh i dont think the one S runs at 60

[flint folio]

I do have 60fps unleashed, just on act 3 of windmill isle on ps3, and the series X downstairs

[glass spade]

its only the current gens

[flint folio]

The one X isn’t even 60 mate

I’m pretty sure the one x still has frame drops

[atomic topaz]

im planning to possibly buy either Lost World 3DS or Sonic Boom fire and Ice when i get paid on friday

[flint folio]

Series X is constant 60

[atomic topaz]

on ebay

[flint folio]

Oh boy, lost world 3ds or fire and ice

yaaaaaay

[glass spade]

wouldnt know tbh my eyes dont notice

[atomic topaz]

ok joe

[glass spade]

im p sure lost world 3ds is just a low res wii u ver with blue ball game

[atomic topaz]

No

[flint folio]

You should be noticing 30 vs 60 if you see them quite frequently, doesn’t help if you physically can’t run the game at 60

[glass spade]

is it not?

[atomic topaz]

it was made by Dimps

[glass spade]

yeah ik but from what ive seen its similar

[glass spade]

🤷‍♂️

[atomic topaz]

so it apparently has some pretty big differences

[glass spade]

i dont notice shit tbh

[atomic topaz]

lol

[flint folio]

I am max level in everything in frontiers, not finished with the story yet lol

[glass spade]

are u just exploring and shit?

and like taking everything in

instead of trying to beat the story

if so i might do that tbh

that sounds really broad

what i mean is

ur just tryna take ur time?

[flint folio]

I am collecting every memory token before proceeding, it has taken me 40 hours or so to get here, and it makes the game feel more substantial and actually makes use of the platforms that spawn, otherwise you don’t appreciate them enough

The paths are fun and collecting every token means you use them all, plus they’re not hard to get, so it doesn’t feel as tedious

[flint folio]

I was gonna say this is great news because sonic team desperately needs more man power to make games like frontiers

[next tartan]

It is pretty good news

Frontiers was great but is still (noticeably) buggy and more manpower could fix that

[flint folio]

It also just lacked time for a little extra touches outside of bugs

[next tartan]

As a finished product it's very enjoyable but I wouldn't be telling the truth if I didn't say that I got frustrated by it sometimes to the point I had to put my controller down and go to bed

Which they're aiming to fix by polishing up the game anywaysn

What island are you on now?

Also fwiw, you can just change the rings to speed and vice versa for this trophy, ezpz

Shit I might platinum the game myself idk

Maybe over Christmas break

[flint folio]

I maxed out both already, just fish

[flint folio]

Final one with the sage tokens, collected every memory token and S ranked every cyberspace so far - only trophy I need that isnt story is the 50 phantom rushes

[next tartan]

Ok

So you know to go into hard mode to get the true ending right

The 50 phantom rushes trophy is a bitch I haven't got it either

[flint folio]

Saw online, just fight an early level tower

[flint folio]

I’ve been on hard and 100% speed everything since the beginning

Can’t really tell the difference

I can with speed, but difficulty not really

Too good 😎

I’ll get the 50 rushes trophy and the platinum will be like a day away tops

[atomic topaz]

SONIC RUSH 50 coming in 2567

[next tartan]

i dont think theres a difficulty difference thats noticeable

[next tartan]

i assumed the sonic boom would be helpful

[grizzled stone]

for the nintendo holographic implant

[atomic topaz]

one of those like cyberchips from cyberpunk 2077

that can play games

just plug it into your head!

[grizzled stone]

hopefully it's not the sex one from edgerunners

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfbVUOyVeY0 also hey there's a sonic prime thing

[glass spade]

fuck yeah

[flint folio]

Afaik it’s 20 hits, you can do it that way too though, apparently using low level tower enemies and punching is easier but I suppose whatever works best

@flint folio have you read egg memo #11

Confirmed a suspicion for me

[flint folio]

I got all the egg memos fuckin ages ago

[next tartan]

These seeds are killing me i thought it was one seed for one level of defense

[next tartan]

Oh

Well I haven't touched the game I didn't think I'd play it again

[glass spade]

prime giving me major sonic X and SatAM vibes

like the sonic X part comes from them being transported to a different world and SatAM from the eggman taking over the whole world thing

[grizzled stone]

the robot stuff too

quite interesting

Voice cast sounds pretty sweet too, though I wonder why it's not the usual lot

[glass spade]

oh cos its in animated canada

and laws there state u can only hire people who live in canada

for like entertainment shit

[grizzled stone]

Oh interesting

[flint folio]

@next tartan great tip for the combo trophy, cross slash and sonic boom spring enemies in Ares Island, combos do 0 damage and get you phantom rushes easy

[next tartan]

Oh ok thank you

Do I need to actually hit the spring guys

Or just projectile spam

[flint folio]

Nah sonic booms count for phantom rush

I just did it very quickly, turns out I only needed about 10 more

https://youtu.be/6PMO_9dZVyI

Quick video for it

You don’t need to use phantom rush, just obtain it

[next tartan]

Oh you can just keep doing it huh

That's rly helpful ty

[flint folio]

Ye

[flint folio]

Platinum’d frontiers

[atomic topaz]

I should have known it would only take you nine days

[flint folio]

Well, the last trophy was to beat the final boss

50 hours

[atomic topaz]

Nice

[flint folio]

The end of the game was both very epic briefly and also quite sudden, also a tad shoe-horning,
my story opinions are positive

[atomic topaz]

By shoehorning do you mean to imply that they shove in a random character for seemingly no reason

[flint folio]

No

[atomic topaz]

oh

[next tartan]

this was such a bitch of a trophy

imo the story fell apart during ||island 4||

it was not as good after it

It was really good with the whole ||sonic was consumed by cyberspace and between dimensions and shit|| but wasn’t as good when ||the power of friendship fixed him and we team up with sage now||

For sonic though, it’s some of the best it’s been in a long time

[next tartan]

I saw this twitter thread you might like hols on

Can't find it but it was a rewrite of the ending which was way better than the real ending

(A THREAD)

Twitter · Nov 13, 2022, 9:40 PM

[flint folio]

That would make the ending enormous but it is pretty cool

[glass spade]

they really shouldve kept his world for sonic themes after 06

its the definitive theme imo

[next tartan]

The ending was very short tho

It took me 3 odd days to get past most of the game and a day for the ending. It's one island and two boss fights yknow??

[flint folio]

Wtf the ending was shorter than 2/3rds of the game what

[next tartan]

I expected a longer ending

It felt abrupt

I wasn't expecting the last island to be like 6 hours of gameplay. It took me two days to finish knuckles island

Part 1 of the un-used\used lines that can be trigged while roaming around the Islands. These vary based on the platform you're playing on. On Switch\PC most were cut. But PS4\PS5 have some intact, You have to stand around for 10+ minutes and not do ANYTHING to trigger one 1?

Yes cos forces is playable

[glass spade]

playable?

as a player

what am i controlling

nothing

[flint folio]

Speedrunning sonic levels is fun

[young dagger]

not done with frontiers yet but damn im actually having fun with a sonic game again? crazy

[atomic topaz]

One of my only complaints with frontiers so far is that I don't like how weighty the homing attacks feel, especially in cyberspace levels

its weird

[young dagger]

it is weird not being able to be quick with them on enemies but be able to on balloons n stuff

[atomic topaz]

they were so fast and fluid in Generations

[atomic topaz]

EXACTLY this

[young dagger]

tbf this one is way more combat focused but i do kind of wish that was another thing you could change in the settings along with the speed options

[atomic topaz]

yeah same

in cyberspace the heaviness of the homing attacks kinda stops the flow of what are otherwise really fast and adrenaline fueled levels

One of the things I've noticed that frontiers absolutely nails in particular is rail-grinding

i LOVE it
it feels so fuckin good
all the time

[next tartan]

I loved that

What I dislike is that it's impractical to use homing attacks in cyberspace cos they take so long to do

It's easier to like, do it once, boost, then you get further faster than if you homing attacked every enemy or balloon that the game wants you to

[grizzled stone]

Trying to play P-06 with a keyboard because it doesn't like my controller

It's actually making me wanna buy 06 on PS3

[atomic topaz]

is there any major difference between 360 and ps3?

for that game

[grizzled stone]

Not sure

[atomic topaz]

i have 360 version

it was fairly janky from what i played

i couldnt get past the first level with the weird Tails controls

[grizzled stone]

should I buy the two Sonic Adventure games? £3 together

[atomic topaz]

what platform?

[grizzled stone]

PC, Steam

[atomic topaz]

oh yeah

Yes you should

iirc SADX is more janky than the original

i really like what ive played of adventure 2 tho

Knuckles levels can be a tad tedious

[grizzled stone]

I've heard there are some mods to help out SADX but I'll probably give it a shot on its own first

[atomic topaz]

yeah

[grizzled stone]

Though, looks like the lowest price for them was 89p each, so like £1.80 for both

maybe i should wait for a future sale (probably the winter), but IDK if they'll be for sale for sure

Or for sale for a better or even the same price

[next tartan]

In facial animations, yes

It is still a very fun port

[atomic topaz]

xbox 360 store still has the original dreamcast version of Sonic adventure
i considered getting it at some point

[glass spade]

play sa1 with better sadx

great way to play it but if u want to back up the save it fucks it up so theres that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uNsTXIzgGI

[grizzled stone]

sonk

[glass spade]

wooo

join the gang

lemme see wheni got them

cos i was young asf

good day

was hyped asf that day

i think these two were my first proper sonic games

[glass spade]

WHAT

3 QUID?

bargain tbh

[grizzled stone]

£3.23 to be precise

No Battle DLC tho

but I'm lonely so

I think I might have owned SADX physically once

Or I might have just seen it in a shop

[glass spade]

yeah in hindsight battle was a waste

cos ive never played it with anyone

lol

[grizzled stone]

haha

ah well, better safe than sorry

[glass spade]

yeah

i think i was 9 when i got the both

my first proper sonic game

before i just played sonic dash

and watched cobonermani456 play sonic games and shit

idk if anyone knows/remembers him

[grizzled stone]

I 'member

I think the first sonic game I played was Heroes on PS2

Or that Ultimate Flash Sonic

[glass spade]

YEAH

I PLAYED THAT TOO

but like thats not official so i didnt include that

i played tf out that game

also that one sonic game

with the story

chaos sonic or wtv

and sonic final fantasy was good

[grizzled stone]

Oh yeah!

I love that X5 used Melissa, the first opening to Fullmetal Alchemist

[next tartan]

100% on every island except the last one

[atomic topaz]

do you like ps2 version?

[grizzled stone]

Honestly I struggle with any version of Heroes

The aesthetic is brilliant (minus the shiny character models), but the control is just AWFUL

Also it seems to be kinda buggy regardless of platform

IIRC the PS2 one is probably the worst for performance but I haven't been back to it in a bit

[next tartan]

Damnit I thought there was a trophy for fishing completion for big and I missed the chance to photograph when I got the platinum

Oh well

I still don't feel a sense of completion with the game. Odd

[grizzled stone]

Took me a lot of game overs, a lot of E ranks, and over half an hour on Meteor Herd alone, but I've finished the Hero story of Adventure 2

[glass spade]

how many times did u do final rush

[flint folio]

On steam SA1 regularly goes for like 85p and SA2 regularly for £1.99

[grizzled stone]

m a n y

so much falling off XD

Gotta say tho, SA2 seems to have one of the most consistent light speed dashes I've used so far, tied with the PS2/Wii version of Unleashed

That and the homing attack is pretty spot on

That and the control means I can play the game rather than shuffle along scared of it like Heroes

[glass spade]

when i got both they were 14£ but that was 2016

Please do

Just make more of that, and build on it

Hire more people, all that bollocks

[grizzled stone]

and give them good conditions and reasonable timeframes

It'll be neat to see where the concept goes

Also, I feel I've asked this before but: which version of It Doesn't Matter do y'all prefer?

I'm more a fan of the Adventure 1 version myself

[glass spade]

we in the mf uh

whats it called again

open zone era or wtv

one of u man can probs come up with a better name

this year defo been the best sonic year of my time being a sonic fan

esp with prime coming out im so hyped

[grizzled stone]

Trying to get A rank on City Escape in Adventure 2 and whoa

[atomic topaz]

https://youtu.be/AwlJqFT0KtE @flint folio

austin made a whole video about unleashed

[atomic topaz]

Does the level get more fun the more you play it?

[grizzled stone]

It's got that Sonic fun of repeatedly playing the same level and trying to hit all the points and strategies I've formulated so far

Speedrunning in microcosm

Kinda what I like about Tony Hawk too

[atomic topaz]

Why did I not think of this comparison

so true

[next tartan]

Is that the fun of a sonic game?

I find this so hard

I feel proud when I do it eventually but I don't find it fun to do it usually

[grizzled stone]

I mean, it's the fun I find in a sonic game, I imagine others find different things fun

[grizzled stone]

Less than 1000 points away from an A rank on City Escape hahaha

[grizzled stone]

WOO first A-rank!

yoooo

[glass spade]

Wauren

[atomic topaz]

@grizzled stone youtube suggested this to me and i have no idea why but its funny timing https://youtu.be/MQ-rRsXFEhM

lowest quality lets play lol

[flint folio]

Who

[flint folio]

I 100% unleashed anyway😤

[atomic topaz]

he's another games youtuber i watch occasionally

[flint folio]

I figured that but you said his name as if I’d know of them

[atomic topaz]

i did yeah

i took a gamble

[flint folio]

So I thought there was something missing but yeah - did he like it?

[atomic topaz]

i think he kinda likes the wii version better

[flint folio]

Shame

All that version did was make things more linear and made the werehog levels 3 levels long instead of 1 long one

[atomic topaz]

it did put things into perspective tho

the werehog levels being longer on average than every daytime stage is a realization that crushed my soul

[flint folio]

Well did you really need reminding that hyper fast sonic levels aren’t as long as slow paced beat em up levels

[atomic topaz]

no

[flint folio]

I think it’s a tad over dramatic to expect boost levels to be 15 minutes long, I mean 5 minutes for jungle joyride is pretty insane

[atomic topaz]

thats fair

[flint folio]

To make boost levels much longer would be pretty insane work and really actually ruin how they work, for high pace memory or reaction based speedrun levels frankly much longer would be mentally quite painful to learn

Plus all the Wii version does is make the werehog levels shorter but make plenty more of them

[atomic topaz]

i'll just say it
and its a pretty cold take i know
but i really dont love the werehog levels

[flint folio]

I think it’s the best gimmick sonic really ever had

[atomic topaz]

What about sonic with a sword though

thats my sonic gimmick of choice

[flint folio]

Classic sonic wasn’t fun, even compared to the genesis sonic,

Wisps was so painful at times and half of them stop you in your tracks,

A sword is a cool gimmick but it’s legitimately faster to ignore enemies than it is to fight them and that’s very sad

Sure werehog levels were slow and sometimes quite annoying but the combat is at least engaging and the music was good, the levels are pretty decent

[atomic topaz]

Don't those levels repeat the exact same song though

The one I'm on I have gotten really sick of the music because it just keeps repeating itself

[flint folio]

Just be faster 😎

[atomic topaz]

cries

[flint folio]

Idk, I just think it might not be as good but I couldn’t name a sonic gimmick that was any better than the werehog

Plus Unleashed needs time to understand to properly enjoy, which isn’t really ideal for a sonic game but once I understood a few moves and the levels I had a lot of fun

[atomic topaz]

Yeah I'll have to admit as much as I like sonic rush adventure not all of the ship things are very great to control

Like the only great one for me was the jet ski

[flint folio]

I didn’t enjoy much at all from the adventure games that weren’t sonic or shadow levels

[atomic topaz]

RUSH adventure

[flint folio]

I am not talking about that one

[atomic topaz]

i was lol

[flint folio]

Believe it or not I’ve not played it so have nothing to add

I’m furthering the conversation elsewhere

[atomic topaz]

Is shadow in adventure 2 considered a gimmick

[flint folio]

No, but neither is tails or knuckles

Just saying usually if it’s not the sonic stuff I’ve never actually had that much fun

[atomic topaz]

Could the big fishing minigames be considered a gimmick

[flint folio]

Gimmicks are things included to make the game stand out, kinda?.. so I suppose you could argue

But either way each sonic games “gimmick” is what makes it stand out, the adventure games have their other characters, unleashed has the werehog and heroes has the team dynamic etc.

[atomic topaz]

I suppose you could consider the team aspect of Heroes a gimmick right?

oh ya beat me to it

[flint folio]

Lol

Yes

That gimmick was ok but again, not go fast person, less fun

[atomic topaz]

It's not as fast as the adventure games?

[flint folio]

I mean probably not

[atomic topaz]

I mean you got tails having to carry knuckles and sonics fat asses around everywhere

[flint folio]

Just stopping to fly as tails wasn’t too fun and knuckles punching was cool but still not as enjoyable

Maybe I’m just dull but I’m not fussed as playing as many other sonic characters

[atomic topaz]

If I get back into sonic adventure 2 then the shadow levels are something to look forward to right

[flint folio]

I mean, you put sonic in those levels and they work the same

[atomic topaz]

thats good

[flint folio]

The difference is shadow is very cool so I like him a lot

[atomic topaz]

also not having to use a gun is nice

[flint folio]

I didn’t vibe much with the adventure games I had real 🤓 moments with it

I liked a lot of things but playing it wasn’t actually that high on the list

[atomic topaz]

That jungle level where he meets shadow was really fun

Good sense of speed

I feel like one of the main reasons frontiers is hitting so well as that it's actually focusing on the speed mostly

So many previous sonic games just had slower things that kind of kill my vibe

like UGHHH the knuckles emerald levels

[flint folio]

The weird thing is frontiers’ boost levels are the slowest sonic has felt in that place since like maybe colours

[atomic topaz]

Colors just has really awkward jumping in 2d

[flint folio]

It’s more a fresh start and also dipping into an obvious genre

Colours was alright, but it’s rated a bit too high these days, it was a big point where sonic games ceased their ambition a little

[atomic topaz]

Yeah I can kinda see that

Lost World 3DS is the last 3-D sonic game that I still want to try and dont own yet

Dimps my beloved

[flint folio]

Sure

[atomic topaz]

I'm sorry I keep mentioning sonic games you haven't played

lol

[flint folio]

Well i mean dimps sonic track record is only good early on, I can’t say I cared for sonic 4, lost world 3ds or generations 3ds

[atomic topaz]

I thought Gens 3DS had a good reputation but then I heard people talk about it and I guess I was wrong

It's so funny to me that they included Radical Highway and it was bad

Like it's a shadow level what did you think was going to happen

[atomic topaz]

I'm actually playing it again now

Gonna see if I can get past that knuckles level that annoyed me before

@flint folio Hey do you recall there being really annoying water sound effects in aquatic mine or is that just my pc being weird

[flint folio]

Yeah I think so

[atomic topaz]

God this is unbearable lol

guess i gotta crank the sound down

[atomic topaz]

@flint folio

Weird thing I found at this weird sale thing the other day

[flint folio]

Snoc

I don’t know anything about it

[atomic topaz]

i figured

but it was sonic related

so yeah

[grizzled stone]

Probably a bootleg, pretty neat tho

also oh jeez that hidden chao in city escape is more hidden than I can manage haha

[atomic topaz]

so i think you can like start a save on the Dark story while not finished with the hero story right?

[grizzled stone]

Probably? I didn't try

I went through the entire hero story before even touching the dark story

[atomic topaz]

I want to start the dark story because this knuckle's level is killing me

[grizzled stone]

think I'm only on Radical Highway on the dark story

[atomic topaz]

And I don't want to not be able to play this game because of it

[grizzled stone]

Probably possible

[atomic topaz]

turns out you can yeah

[grizzled stone]

sweet!

[atomic topaz]

I just played radical highway for the 1st time

I love it

[next tartan]

i had the same issue with wisps

but i didnt think classic sonic was not fun

i'd honestly say the worst gimmick is uh. probably the wisps? cool concept, bad execution

[glass spade]

as someone who just finished colours for the first time i disagree

wisps were fun asf to fuck around with

[flint folio]

Yeah the wisps were pretty lame

It felt so slow to use and I cannot see any room for fucking around with a good chunk of them

[next tartan]

well i got colours remastered a few days ago

maybe ill beat it

just based on childhood memories of the ds colours, it was very clunky and some of them glitched constantly

[next tartan]

but they dont make you zoom zoom

[grizzled stone]

I think my favourite sonic gimmick so far is the team switching in Heroes

If only the control was any good XD

[next tartan]

On pc version it's not too bad

[grizzled stone]

Eh, I hate it regardless of platform

PC, PS2, Gamecube

[glass spade]

lmk if thats worth getting

cos i got it on dolphin

and u can upscale on that

[next tartan]

It won't be if you can upscale it

[glass spade]

fair enough

[flint folio]

I just bought colours ultimate day one like a plank 😎

I actually played colours on dolphin upscaled before hand too actually

[glass spade]

apparently it was broken asf lol

[flint folio]

I only ran into 2 bugs that really harmed my gameplay on PC

[glass spade]

what’s the better experience

[flint folio]

Switch was a mess though

[glass spade]

how is a wii game on switch a mess who potter that game

[flint folio]

The big difference on Colours Ultimate is it played at 144fps, and the perfect homing attack gave you way more boost

[flint folio]

Blind squirrel, they did the borderlands 1 remaster and the mass effect legendary collection

It was a mess due to bugs not running that poorly, mind you the OG colours looks better a good 60-70% of the time

Colours ultimate is a good time now though, I love the perfect homing attack and the customisation, but it’s not 100% an upgrade, which is annoying to say

But it’s a valid way to play now

[glass spade]

fair

i’ll probs get it when i a get current gen console i doubt it’s gonna run as good as dolphin than on my xbox one

[flint folio]

It runs fine everywhere I think, but idk

It’s a fair and good way to play now but only reason I prefer it over the OG is the perfect homing attack giving you way more boost

[glass spade]

i’ll peep it next time it’s on sale

Y E S

ERECT

[atomic topaz]

yooo thats cool!!

[atomic topaz]

i wanna watch knuckles go fast

hype

[flint folio]

Watch? Looks like playable knuckles is possible lol

[atomic topaz]

More like confirmed lol

[atomic topaz]

i just phrased that confusingly

[flint folio]

Well it’s not confirmed who we play as, but it’s likely they’re all involved in the story

[atomic topaz]

i like seeing other sonic characters that arent sonic do the zoom zoom

[flint folio]

I’m really excited for photo mode lol

[atomic topaz]

i want more cyberspace level areas

[flint folio]

Challenge mode is gonna be boss rush for sure

[atomic topaz]

but i understand if they cant do it

[flint folio]

Idk, maybe

I doubt that though but I’d pay for extra islands and cyberspace

[atomic topaz]

me too

i really love the classic level -based structure of sonic games

[flint folio]

Gimme more open world sonic plis

[atomic topaz]

i like that too

[flint folio]

We’ve had 30 years of level based sonic games I want to spend 300 hours going fast

[atomic topaz]

im like a second away from going on another "i love 2d sonic" rant

i'll spare you this time

[flint folio]

Well I did everything there is to do in frontiers start to finish and I don’t even know if you finished the game

[atomic topaz]

i havent

i plan to

[flint folio]

I’m not sure if that speaks volumes or not

[atomic topaz]

umm

i am pretty busy with school rn

in the past like week the only game i figured i had time for was fortnite

[flint folio]

I think you may figure that quite often

I just wanted to be excited for the frontiers dlc
Hoping for new cyberspace areas may be quite unrealistic

[atomic topaz]

the season ends in like 3 days
i wanted to wrap some stuff up

[flint folio]

I don’t need a reason from you, it’s just that’s your choice on what to play instead

You have time for any game outside of something enormous, it’s just your personal choice

[atomic topaz]

i try

[flint folio]

Anyway I’m not entirely sure how it’s relevant

[atomic topaz]

i dont do a great job tho

yeah you right

[flint folio]

Well you typically stick with stuff for a couple hours and shelve them unless it’s fortnite

[atomic topaz]

not all the time but yes its a bad habit

or its just how my brain operates

either way i hate that im like this

[flint folio]

Give me all your games except frontiers

That’ll fix it

[atomic topaz]

lmao

[atomic topaz]

you better play 50 cent bulletproof for the PS2

100% that bitch

[flint folio]

I’ll cut up the disc and see if it fits in my gamecube

[atomic topaz]

Rip

it only came out on ps2/xbox

[glass spade]

new story interesting

my best bet would be a playable knuckles prologue

hopefully we get new levels

[flint folio]

Photomode 😤😤😤

[glass spade]

i’m happy with that tbh

[atomic topaz]

the return of my mortal enemy the knuckles emerald scavenger hunt levels

[glass spade]

it could be worse

atleast the game isn’t set in outer space

so no chance of space knuckles

[atomic topaz]

jason voorhees IN SPACE

[glass spade]

ngl

i forogot sonics voice actor who is he

robert

roger craig

yeah he’s gonna be my favourite voice if he keeps up deep sonic

[atomic topaz]

smith

[glass spade]

yeah

that

my favourite sonic va is jason grithith

Crimbo fastboi

[glass spade]

bro we are eating good as sonic fans in 2022

great movie

great game

great show?!?!!?

looks like it so far

i assume they’re gonna release it all in one go so i’m hyped for that

binge watch it

how long are the episodes

[atomic topaz]

OH HELL YES

[flint folio]

I don’t think they’re too long like 20 minutes? I could be talking shite but I was sure I saw that somewhere

[glass spade]

20 mins?

that’s longer than i expected ngl

i thought 10-11

[flint folio]

The opening show is longer but others will be that

[glass spade]

it is a kids show after all

[flint folio]

What tv show is 10 minutes

[glass spade]

it’s a kids show on netflix

it’s not far from possibility

[flint folio]

Sonic X was 20 minutes even

[glass spade]

iirc spongebob and fairly odd parents were

[atomic topaz]

Star Wars Tales of the Jedi had 6 episodes and all of them were 10-15 minutes

[glass spade]

maybe gumball

also sonic boom was 11 mins

[flint folio]

20 was for sonic x, so was underground actually

[glass spade]

i remember at after school club in primary

[atomic topaz]

Sonic boom is probably the best sonic show so far

[flint folio]

Sonic prime seems more like sonic x than boom in terms of direction

[glass spade]

the lady who worked there was giving away the cds and shit cos they were getting rid of the tb and she gave me the sonic underground box set cos she knew i loved sonic

core memory

[glass spade]

true

it reminds me of sonic x

the trailers

the way sonic gets teleported somewhere else due to the master emerald

the beginning that is

[flint folio]

Though sonic X was pretty shit when it was filler

[glass spade]

the dystopia reminds me of SatAM

[atomic topaz]

thats true

[glass spade]

they gotta have a sonic sez for the memes

wonder what they’re gonna do to donut lord in sonic 3

[atomic topaz]

it had some really good action episodes tho, iirc

[glass spade]

i watched it recently

like a couple months back

it does

[atomic topaz]

theres the episode with the sonic vs knucles fight

that one was good

[glass spade]

they really loved making knucks seem an idiot in the 00s

“fuck u sonic give me those emeralds”

“why”

“eggman lol”

[atomic topaz]

Not just the 00s

Sonic Boom doubled down on that too

but in a much more satirical way

[glass spade]

oh fr?

yeah sonic boom was satirical asf

[atomic topaz]

yeah he says alot of obviously dumb things lol

[glass spade]

finally got my xbox back

restarted my game cos i haven’t played since like launch week

beat the final boss again

did way more roaming and redoing cyberspace levels

just started ares

[glass spade]

why does sonic look at knuckles so….

lovingly?

[next tartan]

In what game

[glass spade]

frontiers

[next tartan]

Hm

I didn't pick it up as anything other than bros being bros

[glass spade]

true

i be looking at my homie googly eyed

giving him the fuck me eyes and all

[atomic topaz]

i hope to get back into Frontiers when finals are over

things are kinda hectic rn

but theres so much to enjoy about frontiers, i wanna give it the time it deserves

[glass spade]

same

todays the last day imma play cos my tests and shi

[glass spade]

https://thegameawards.com/brackets/players-voice

lads we cant let genmid win

[flint folio]

Genshit midpact 😤

I did my bit

[flint folio]

Plus new free updates coming next year to enjoy😤

[flint folio]

https://open.spotify.com/album/52exAJ8OkzVCXKTJ2FrcYA?si=vShSgGepQaeVz8IqbJ3ifg

Oh yes

[next tartan]

I'm so annoyed about this fucking debate

Genshin isn't a 2020 game, it is a live service game and if you compared it at version 1.1 to the version you have now you'd see how much the game has changed. However, it has already won game of the year and shouldn't be included purely because it has already won

Sonic frontiers was one of the best games I've played, uh ... ever

It's not without glitches and bugs and a story that dropped off in the middle but it was extremely fun traversal, the story was good for a long time, enjoyable open world setting, it genuinely felt like you were getting stronger the more you played

And the game awards are dumb and the site isn't working

[flint folio]

I always felt like live service games should have its own category rather than piling it with fuckin Elden ring lol it’s so bizarre to me

I know it’s players choice, but have two then because I doubt people’s GOTY is their daily grindfest game they’ve played for ages

Plus, I didn’t see, how many other of the live service games were in there? I know updates happen and change these things enormously but they’re so out of place here

Oh it’s also not been fun that sonic has been bugged on a lot of platforms, there’s like a coding error in there and idk what’s happening with genshin and bots but I didn’t read into it much

It’s a really odd debate it’s just shouting for the sake of it

[next tartan]

Genshin already won goty it should just not be allowed to contend

You don't see the directors cut of an Oscar winning film being nominated for another Oscar do you

There are no genshin vote bots, there is just an ungodly amount of Asian genshin players that all voted in the same day which led to botting claims cos genshin went from losing to having 50% of the votes. It's just cos most of those voters were asleep when the vote started and when they all woke up they mostly voted genshin

Plus all the genshin players are frothing at the mouth to make genshin win so they get free primogems cos hoyoverse give out free primos when they win anything

[flint folio]

I get that it just makes sense in my head to separate live service from other games and then it makes sense to let it win twice

Idk

[next tartan]

The issue with that is the lack of live service games that are popular and don't suck ass

Overwatch 2 and genshin are the only modern (as in, made this decade) popular live service games. Unless you nominate RuneScape and stuff like WoW or LoL

[glass spade]

🤝

[glass spade]

LETS FUCKING GO

[flint folio]

I’d assume it’d be full of Fortnite, Genshin, Overwatch, probably some dedicated mobile games and maybe warzone, apex, and valorant?

Idk, just I know it’s not necessarily “of the year” category for players choice but I mean, maybe it should be - live service is hard to categorise though I suppose

[next tartan]

Oh yes fortnite

I guess dbd, apex, Valhalla, multiversus

That type of stuff

[flint folio]

The keyboard breakers

[next tartan]

Yea

[flint folio]

Hey guys my Spotify wrapped 2023 leaked

[next tartan]

Lmfao

[glass spade]

ig we gonna find out tmrw

[glass spade]

we lost

oh wel

[flint folio]

Took a fat L

[glass spade]

geoff called us bots :(

[glass spade]

bro im dogshit at this game

||how did i spent and hour on the end space invaders bit and still not beat it yet||

[flint folio]

That is genuinely quite hard

It took me 3-4 attempts I think

[glass spade]

bro i lied lol

it actually took me 3 hours??

that’s gotta be glitched

i still haven’t beaten it

why can i not beat it

i dont believe it was 3 maybe an hour and half pushing it

weird, ||didn’t expect a sonic final boss level to be so challenging||

[visual galleon]

I got my gf’s brother a copy of Sonic Frontiers

He gives the game a 6/10

Still haven’t played it myself

Not expecting much tbh, any tips / tricks I should know to beat the game completely? Any side quests I should do?

[glass spade]

i’d say it’s the most fun i’ve had with a sonic game since i was 8

[next tartan]

Just go fishing for koco

Do not go koco hunting just go fishing for koco

[glass spade]

yeah find a fishing portal

probs the easiest way to get shit

i kinda want the next sonic game to like go for the 12 PEGI rating like botw did

its not like parents give a shit abt age ratings

[flint folio]

For 1-2 cyberspace, take the lower path at the start

Fishing gets you upgrades very quickly, and don’t level up ring count until the end

Cyloop an infinite symbol for infinite boost

[glass spade]

it was my RB that was fucking@me up

i’d have to press very hard

anyways it’s done now

great game

||tf sticks doing in the cannon timeline||

[flint folio]

Loool

[atomic topaz]

@flint folio wait WHAT

[flint folio]

Hi

[atomic topaz]

just real quick
||Sticks is in frontiers?||

[flint folio]

She is mentioned right at the end

Nothing more than a line

[atomic topaz]

Oh shiiiiiiit

well thats still surprising

[flint folio]

Yeah

[atomic topaz]

maybe she'll be in sonic prime

[flint folio]

Idk we’ll see soon enough I suppose

[atomic topaz]

is boom even spose to be canon

[flint folio]

Prime isn’t canon either I don’t think

[atomic topaz]

pretty sure the whole sonic canon is just a confusing mess anyways

Oh

[glass spade]

prime is its own thing i believe

[atomic topaz]

oh

[next tartan]

OHHH THAT'S HOW YOU GET INFINITE BOOST??

[next tartan]

It takes place years after the games but it hasn't been confirmed canon or non canon

[next tartan]

I think, alternate universe

Or maybe a different dimension, like blaze

Is blaze really from a different dimension or is that just a bad translation? Either way boom is a separate world from normal sonic world but the characters from boom are in the normal world cos that's logical

We just haven't met any yet

Maybe sticks will be dlc

Woo

Good sales

[glass spade]

does this mean sega may drop a big budget?

[glass spade]

got an evening to waste, might just play the whole of forces

or not i need to download it

nah my wifis pretty fast

we good

haven’t played since 2017 so let’s see how it goes

[atomic topaz]

lol

[atomic topaz]

dont torture yourself

jk

[glass spade]

no you have a point

but it’s just one of those evenings innit

[glass spade]

god this game is so ass

i love infinite tho

[flint folio]

A few of the sonic levels are good

That’s why I played mostly

[glass spade]

sunset heights is great

i’m 15/30 stages

cba now i’ll finish tmrw

god this game is so ass

the only part where i act felt something is when they played all hail shadow for like 10 seconds

[flint folio]

Sunset heights is good, lost valley is decent, eggman fortress level 26 is my favourite

[glass spade]

god shadows VA is so ass

[glass spade]

what time does prime premiere

[next tartan]

The sonic VA in prime is annoying rn

Maybe he gets better!

[glass spade]

finished forces

so ass

like tf

lmfao

friendship my ass

[atomic topaz]

@flint folio yo wtf i didnt realize sonic prime was out

[flint folio]

i knew i just havent seen it

[atomic topaz]

me neither

I'll definitely watch it soon and we can just chat about it

I like that it appears to be about the entire sonic cast

[next tartan]

i hate how sonic prime is just making it seem like sonic doesnt like knuckles

3 episodes in and hes said "id even take knuckles at this point" twice now. like BRUH

[glass spade]

knuckles slander is crazy

[next tartan]

it pisses me off

we just got frontiers, a game which had in my opinion a perfect representation of knuckles and sonic's relationship, and sonic movie 2 which had the best non-game knuckles ive ever seen

and now we have "ooga booga knuckles dumb caveman and sonic hates him" all over again

knuckles isnt dumb hes just really trusting, cos he has literally had minimal interaction with other life forms since he was young

[glass spade]

poor translation honestly

canadians..

It's all come full circle, Sonic fellas. Brian Altano, infamous in the Sonic community for saying "Sonic was never good" in IGN, has now taken back his words.

This feels like a massive piece of Sonic history that can now be just that, history.

LMFAO

Bro

What a revelation

[glass spade]

IGN based

[next tartan]

The ending to prime rly just teased a crazy S2

[atomic topaz]

you've made it sounds like you really didnt like the show

[next tartan]

I did like it

It's not as good as I'd hoped but I liked it

[atomic topaz]

the character designs all look sick

[next tartan]

They do

[atomic topaz]

the visual presentation definitely looks like a standout positive element of the show

does it have alot of action?

[glass spade]

how are big and blaze the same race

[atomic topaz]

wtf

[glass spade]

both are cats

daaamn i really like never deeped that

finished prime

||how tf they gonna end on a cliffhanger like that tho damn||

[next tartan]

There might not even be a season 2

[atomic topaz]

why not

[next tartan]

Netflix might cancel it

They cancel most stuff

[atomic topaz]

Why would they greenlight it in the first place then

[flint folio]

Since they don’t know how well it’ll do

[next tartan]

Netflix greenlight and cancel stuff all the time

They think it might do well, they'll greenlight it, it doesn't get lots of viewers in the first week and they give up on it

I am not okay with this is a prime example

Show is insanely popular but it didn't get attention for the first couple of weeks and it got cancelled

[atomic topaz]

@flint folio have you watched prime yet? im 3 episodes in and personally i think its pretty good

[flint folio]

i haven't, im awful at watching shows

i dont even have netflix so id have to go find it

[atomic topaz]

Fair
its only 8 episodes tho

Oh

also fair lol

[flint folio]

lol

[atomic topaz]

I just think they really nailed it visually

Everything pops
