It's stunning

#

The real stand out for me is the action

#

It is absolutely top notch

flint folio
#

very cool

#

ill track it down and binge it

atomic topaz
#

I think you'd enjoy it whenever you get around to it

flint folio
#

i could nab cats netflix but i cant remember the password

atomic topaz
#

its got some childish humor but thats expected, other than than that its got a surprisingly serious tone at times that i enjoy

flint folio
#

not far from sonic x then

atomic topaz
#

I guess so

#

Shadow's only been in it for a little bit so far but I really enjoyed his scenes

#

definitely a standout for me

flint folio
#

nice

atomic topaz
#

It may not be the one of the best things to to come out of this franchise but it's just a really fun watch, generally

#

The different voice actors don't even bother me too much, surprisingly

flint folio
#

ill let you know what i think when i get round to it

#

i have some days off coming up

atomic topaz
#

Yeah

#

I just wanted to speak generally about it

#

its good

atomic topaz
#

@flint folio yooooo the damn thing came early lol

flint folio
#

Snoc

atomic topaz
#

By the way I do think Sonic Boom fire and ice is good

#

its pretty damn fun

#

I hope maybe you'll care a little bit more about what I have to say about sonic lost world because its a 3D game

flint folio
#

I didn’t like lost world so my criteria is a bit more than “3 dimensional”

atomic topaz
#

See thats why i love dimps

#

They made the most middle of the road sonic game better

glass spade
#

been playing unleashed

#

defo the most difficult sonic game

#

most beautiful too

atomic topaz
#

I'd argue the latter

#

Especially when it comes to the werehog sections

glass spade
#

i really want to say the werehog controls like dogshit but i think im just bad

#

thats why i said difficult

#

esp on cool edge

#

when trying to get of the ice ledges

#

the jump of decides when it wants to work or not

flint folio
#

Important to notice the difference between the game being unfair and you simply not utilising movesets, I do both all the time

atomic topaz
#

True

flint folio
#

I was just doing a thing in final fantasy 7, the fight felt totally unfair - I changed my items around and did it in 30 seconds

#

Werehog is the same, enemies are very rarely ever an issue once you spam 2-3 combos total, only eggmanland is a massive challenge other than medal tedium

atomic topaz
#

I may just be annoyed at the fact that it's not very fun

flint folio
flint folio
#

Night levels didn’t frustrate me as often until I hit a wall of “how do I dodge this” or dying right at the end of levels, it was the day stages that did my head in trying to master them

#

If Xbox ever allows streaming to discord I’ll do a playthrough in a call or something for a laugh

flint folio
#

I mean in fairness I’m about £100 worth of capture card away from just doing that on my ps3 but that’s besides the point

atomic topaz
glass spade
#

glitched tf out in empire city day

flint folio
#

Lol

atomic topaz
glass spade
#

please tell me you bought it

#

looks so hard

atomic topaz
#

i did

glass spade
#

atomic topaz
glass spade
#

he got the sonic strap

flint folio
#

Twinning

atomic topaz
#

i love the look on your face too lmao

flint folio
#

Lol, it’s silly

atomic topaz
#

yee

glass spade
#

NAH WHAT

#

where do i get one

flint folio
#

Depends where you live I suppose

glass spade
#

what store

flint folio
#

Depends where you live I suppose

glass spade
#

UK

#

england

flint folio
#

B&M had some where I live

#

Smyths stock it, that’s where I got mine

glass spade
#

boutta trek to my nearest smyths

flint folio
#

also the entertainer in bath had one on the shelf but that is quite a long shot

atomic topaz
#

"the entertainer in bath"

flint folio
#

shop in city

atomic topaz
#

strange name

flint folio
#

the entertainer is a toy shop

#

bath is a city

atomic topaz
#

oh

#

i was so confused

glass spade
#

yeah thats long

grizzled stone
#

just a clown in a bathtub that hands you toys

#

I saw one of those x-shot models in Asda but it wasn't the Sonic one

glass spade
#

going to make the executive decision to trade my xbox copy of minecraft and sonic forces for mgs hd collection

#

won’t be missed, horrible game

#

minecraft i have on java so

flint folio
#

Disgusting, sonic forces is fun occasionally if you ignore a good chunk of the game

glass spade
#

but…but mgs

flint folio
#

Let’s put it this way, one game you could be bothered to spell out, the other you couldn’t

Sonic Forces sweep😎

glass spade
#

ain’t no way

flint folio
#

Get rekt

glass spade
#

is it just me

#

or is unleashed just

#

glitchy as fuck

#

also fuck eggman land

#

@flint folio how hard are the final bosses

flint folio
#

How glitchy is a fuck

#

Eggmanland is only getting you fucked because it is actually demanding

#

Final bosses are not hard, but there is boost sections in between that can be a bit tough on time and platforming, but they’re about 20 seconds long and there’s 3 of them

glass spade
#

nono, the amount of time im floating on nothing, after boosting and going through objects after i clearly went on them

#

also empire city day stage i glitched out alot

#

same for rooftop run

#

as in

#

float on thin air

#

out of the level

flint folio
#

No idea, I barely experienced bugs except one time I fell through the floor on my 3rd playthrough

glass spade
#

yeah maybe im just unlucky

#

i know im not doing an ign

flint folio
#

It has some pretty great speedrunning bugs though

glass spade
#

any for eggmanland?

flint folio
#

Of course, but none that are any easier to learn than just doing the level

#

Take your time though, not dying is usually enough for an S rank

glass spade
#

tbh im good until the final werehog part

flint folio
#

The jump, 2 light attacks and a spin let’s you skip a decent amount of platforms

#

Also using unleash mode makes you invincible to the fire that spits at you in the middle part of the level

glass spade
#

im watching playthroughs and they took an altenative route where u wall jump

#

oh yeah

#

i unleash past the wave parts of the werehog sections

flint folio
#

I managed to do the hotdog missions for eggman land in a couple hours

glass spade
#

like here

flint folio
#

It’s a fairly straight forward level once you break enough controllers

glass spade
#

i timestamped

#

i took the other route compared to this guy

#

and it made my life 10x harder

glass spade
flint folio
#

He fucked that route pretty hard

flint folio
glass spade
#

yeah that could not be me

#

im not competent enough for that

#

tbh next time

#

ill just farm tf outta lives

flint folio
#

Easy enough with rings

#

Tbh I can blitz the game so easy now you’d only discover bugs if you weren’t just taking optimal paths every time like I do

#

This channel is good for unleashed

glass spade
flint folio
#

No

glass spade
#

yh i was gonna say

#

i have so many rings

next tartan
atomic topaz
next tartan
#

I wouldn't call it mediocre, or bad, I'd say it's one of the best 3d sonic games

atomic topaz
#

@flint folio

#

I dont really know what to say I'm just wondering if you agree with that

flint folio
#

Forces was pretty bad if you play any level that wasn’t for sonic but all his levels were fun

atomic topaz
#

I enjoyed what I played in frontiers so far mainly because it's the 3-D sonic game that has the least shoe-horned 2D in it

#

So many "3D" sonic games couldnt really commit to one dimension

#

forces is a pretty prime example of that too

flint folio
#

Chaos island would like to know your location

atomic topaz
glass spade
#

fronteirs

glass spade
#

i mean im not gonna trade it now cos the mgs hd remaster got swooped before i could get it

#

but i really do not like that game for how bland it is

#

and the missed chance with infinite

#

i dont like any part of that game except maybe goofing around with the character customisation

atomic topaz
#

forces i mean

glass spade
#

no like chaos island is from frontiers

#

and i was gonna trade forces and minecraft xbox edition for that

#

but im confused now

#

what

#

u got frontiers or mgs hd remaster free

#

?

atomic topaz
#

shit that other messagd was a mistake

#

my point was
i cant even be too mad at forces personally bcuz i didnt really have to pay for it

glass spade
#

i remember waiting in queue maybe a couple days before christmas at GAME jus excited asf

#

thinking to myself

#

"fuck those reviews that say its mediocre, ill love this game"

#

was i wrong

#

lmfao

atomic topaz
#

better than 06 ig?

#

idk

#

better than sonic boom rise of lyric

#

not a hard bar to pass tho

glass spade
#

nah 06 is great

#

minus the furry kiss scene

#

was not rocking with that, shouldve been on the forehead

#

other thann that great game

atomic topaz
#

or on the cheek?

#

face cheek not ass cheek

glass spade
#

cheek would be hard to show from the angle the showed it at

glass spade
atomic topaz
glass spade
#

yeah boom is the worst sonic game

#

i like nothing abt that game

#

ik i said boom is better than forces

#

but after watching a walkthrough on yt

#

shits ass

#

i take back this

flint folio
flint folio
#

but woman kiss hedgehog 😤

#

as if half the cunts who complained about that even GOT to that scene

glass spade
#

real i never played the actual game fully

#

only stages in p-06

#

and emulated a bit

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

Well she didn’t just kiss him for no fuckin reason but like the game attempted to give them some chemistry and touching moments together

#

It was loose because sure it was 06 and it’s not great but it at least came from somewhere, and it’s clear they wanted a big moment in there and thought that’d be it

#

In execution sure it’s a bit out of left field but y’know

atomic topaz
#

yeah thats valid

#

on their part

flint folio
#

I don’t think it’s as feasibly weird as people make it out to be

#

The only weird thing about it is how quickly Elise wishes to be like that

unique osprey
#

yo i haven’t seen gameplay or heard any reviews of sonic frontiers, how is it?

flint folio
#

v good

#

its my 2nd favourite sonic game since unleashed and perhaps some of the best writing we've had in some time

unique osprey
#

damn thats some good shit to hear

#

my bday’s coming up and i’m thinking of getting it

flint folio
#

its already gone down in price so its a good time

#

open world is great and the boss music slaps

unique osprey
#

niceee

flint folio
#

if theres nothing more you need to know then just get it and enjoy it

unique osprey
#

alright

atomic topaz
#

@flint folio i found Sonic and Knuckles

#

musik

atomic topaz
#

It actually works really well man

flint folio
#

I bought frontiers again

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

£34 if you must, but I love getting sonic portably

#

It’s not come into work for ages, first copy id seen in our store

atomic topaz
#

Let me know if it runs OK on switch

flint folio
#

Someone traded in a switch and a lot of games, seemed like a nice bunch, time for playthrough 2 on the loo

atomic topaz
#

I'm not going to buy that version but I'd love to know

flint folio
#

It does, doesn’t look terrific but I thought it ran perfectly well enough

#

There is a 15 minute demo on switch if you wanted to try it for some fun

atomic topaz
#

Oh

#

Yeah maybe

flint folio
#

Worth a go to experience

flint folio
#

After 10 minutes:

  • there's a lot of pop in of low to higher res models, its quite noticable when you arent looking at what you're doing exactly
  • framerate seems pretty stable, frankly i saw more drops on the 4k ps5 version but they're present
  • docked its a bit blurry but as youd expect
  • for some reason my fingers arent good at pushing up on joycons because theyre so small so i actually tilt sonic left naturally, its not drift im just shit lol

overall, it has felt a good port so far - impressive the switch can pull it off in happily playable condition

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

musik

atomic topaz
#

Dammit

#

Wait do you only say that because you think I should have posted it in the music channel

flint folio
#

no

#

i say that because i have little to say on a game i barely played and a band ive never heard

atomic topaz
#

oh

glass spade
#

skeet!!!!

#

atomic topaz

glass spade

NO

atomic topaz
#

I thought blade was hip hop

glass spade
#

BLADEE>>

atomic topaz
#

The only blade album i listened to sounded like hip hop to me

glass spade
#

which one was it

atomic topaz
#

icedancer

glass spade
#

nvm yo

#

hand crushed by a mullet kinda hard

#

mallet*

glass spade
atomic topaz
#

be nice 2 me was a straight trap beat

glass spade
#

yeah fair enough

#

the rest of the album isnt tho

#

or id just say its trap drum inspired

atomic topaz
glass spade
#

ill give them more of a listen yh

#

money machine is still one of the worst songs ive ever heard tho

#

but hand crushed by a mallet goes hard

atomic topaz
#

tf

#

ok i do respect your opinion but i love money machine

glass spade
#

fair

grizzled stone

flint folio
glass spade
#

think i’ll play it this way now

#

xenia runs 06 much smoother

flint folio
#

I just have my 360 hooked up, I only care for the sake of achievements if I want them

glass spade
#

i don’t have a 360

#

but i plan on getting a ps3 to play mgs4 since that game is tied DOWN to that console

#

and u can’t finish the game no matter if u get a custom build of rspc3 for mgs4

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

There was a whole thing about it being epic exclusive for ages

atomic topaz
#

ohhhhhh

#

I forgot about that

#

I do remember that now that you mentioned it

#

victory for pc sonic fans ig

flint folio
#

Why has she asked it like this

#

Do not tease me Katie

atomic topaz
#

She's the social media manager for sonic

flint folio
#

Yep, she runs the Twitter account

atomic topaz
#

ok then
yeah why tf you teasin us katie

flint folio
#

The unleashed stans are assembling

#

And John from GVG asking for sonic r

#

A true king

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

Well I just want to put the ps3 disc in my ps5 frankly but I’d take a PC port

atomic topaz
#

sonic the fighters please

flint folio
#

I’d take sonic r again, I liked that game

atomic topaz
#

i have never gotten to play it so yeah im with you on that

#

i have listened to the soundtrack on spotify tho

#

over and over

#

its so good

#

Sonic shuffle was terrible but maybe theres someone out there who wants to play it

flint folio
#

TELL EM

#

Gimme all the copies of absolute peak gaming you fucks

glass spade
#

never get why more companies don’t just port or remaster shit to pc

#

infinite money glitch

atomic topaz
glass spade
#

cough konami

flint folio
#

Katie is a good lass - very good at her job

flint folio
atomic topaz
# glass spade *cough* konami

funny enough I think konami are one of the ones that have been a bit better at that recently
i mean shit i never thought the GBA castlevania games would come back but those fuckers DID it

glass spade
#

yh i mean they’re bringing back silent hill

#

that’s true they are getting better

atomic topaz
glass spade
#

fr 💀

#

there was no love for that game

atomic topaz
#

Granted I have love for that game

glass spade
#

oh nvm then

atomic topaz
#

Just not the wii u version

glass spade
atomic topaz
#

3DS version is actually decent man

glass spade
#

i always thought the 3ds version was just a severely downscaled and low res version of the wii u game

#

it’s not tho as u told me before

flint folio
#

You’ve gotten him started now

atomic topaz
#

It was the one of the last things Dimps got to make
and thank god for them

glass spade
#

yh shout out dimps sonic games

flint folio
atomic topaz
#

sales?

flint folio
#

No, it reviewed horribly, not just middling

atomic topaz
#

oh yeah true

flint folio
#

Sonic 06 sold great, doesn’t mean it got a PC port

atomic topaz
atomic topaz
#

so why no pc port for that

flint folio
#

It does have a PC port

atomic topaz
#

not on steam

flint folio
#

It came out on disc

atomic topaz
#

Oh

flint folio
#

So?

#

Heroes predates steam skeet

atomic topaz
#

shit you right my bad

flint folio
#

It’s not old enough to be in the AGES range, and not a classic enough to get the adventure treatment

atomic topaz
#

Well nowadays when people say they want something on pc they usually mean they want it on steam

flint folio
#

It’s because they’re actually accessible on steam

atomic topaz
#

ye

flint folio
#

Tracking down a PC port of old sonic games is a pain for modern hardware, and some of it runs like shite

atomic topaz
#

Accurate

glass spade
#

yh nah i remember when i was little i got a virus on my computer trying to get the pc port of hero’s

#

but apparently it’s ass

flint folio
#

It was

glass spade
#

but nothing modding can’t fix

atomic topaz
#

one of the most interesting stories i heard recently regarding a pc port was the 2007 Ubisoft PC release of Resident Evil 4
it was so bad

glass spade
#

like sadx’s port

atomic topaz
#

didnt even have mouse support
like at all

flint folio
#

You’re better off emulating heroes

glass spade
#

ass but nothing modscan’t fix

#

hero’s was on the ps3 store at one point, no?

flint folio
#

I don’t know?, adventure is though

glass spade
#

what happens if u don’t buy the dx extension of adventure on xbox

#

does it look like the DC version or?

flint folio
#

You can do that?

#

I have no idea lol

glass spade
#

idk on the xbox store there Sonic Adventire

#

and then an DX DLC

atomic topaz
#

i like how this was recommended to me out of nowhere on youtube

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

Kishimoto confirming 2d sonic is in development, the mention of dimps is only because he is replying to someone mentioning sonic 4

atomic topaz
#

stopped me dead in my tracks

#

either way BROOOOOOOO

#

idk how long that will take but i WANT it

atomic topaz
#

they were killed off after lost world 3DS

flint folio
#

well its a given that more 2d would arrive anyway, just thought some would like to know

atomic topaz
#

as long as its something that builds off of rush in some way

#

i will be happy

#

i hope they develop 2D with the Switch in mind

#

thats perfect for old school inspired platformers

atomic topaz
#

for all we know could be mania 2?

flint folio
#

he doesnt confirm it but theres very little else left to release

#

i mean how hard can they even ride genesis stuff, im not interested in it

atomic topaz
#

maybe they are gonna stop, who knows, but recently they've given off the impression that the only 2D sonic they think is worth remembering is genesis era

flint folio
#

get this: you shouldnt rememeber 2d sonic you should just make new ones

atomic topaz
#

yes

flint folio
#

its not a matter of revisiting, every era you speak fondly of was doing that, so do it more

atomic topaz
#

thats exactly why i love advance and rush so much

#

all i want is something that builds off of those
and we havent got anything like that for 15 years

#

gens 3ds kinda counts but yknow
its gens

#

old levels

I CANNOT BE STOPPED

💯💯

flint folio
#

Getting 15% off stuff at work is not good for my bank

atomic topaz
#

That's like how it was for me when I used to work across the way from the game store

flint folio
#

£18 or so I got it for; I just wanted it for the ps4 collection but I’m actually just blasting through a world before going to play something else

#

Weird thing too but the game case was in excellent condition and that matters to me for some reason

atomic topaz
#

like its right there
suffice to say way too much of my paycheck would go to them every week

flint folio
#

Needless to say I have multiple times gotten paid, paid my necessities to dad and savings, and then the rest disappeared on tech

atomic topaz
#

same

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

I have found that with PC versions of games recently, I like my physical copies

#

Some games feel better if I own them on PS5 vs switch or whatever

#

Sonic games feel best at 60, unless it’s unleashed for some reason, that felt good at both

grizzled stone
#

but: it was £2

atomic topaz
#

the only Gamecube nintendo crossover thing i ever felt i NEEDED was Soul Calibur 2 with link

#

mario appearing in random stuff is ehh to me

#

cool but not something i ever felt like seeking out

grizzled stone
#

Fair point, I don't even care about mario but I guess it's more desirable to me to have the one others want? That and I already have 3 on the GameCube (it's my only GC game XD)

#

but that isn't very sonic-y so I'll stop here

#

XD

flint folio
#

Shall we call this chat Sonic/SSX just for Lauren always managing to find a related example

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

Not genuine suggestion

glass spade
#

i just go in there, see a game i want to collect, or ive been eying is there and if its there ill get it

#

or ill just get something else that catches my eye

#

id go game since thats close too but game is pretty shit

flint folio
#

I just get first dibs on like.. anything
You likely have no idea half the stuff that goes into the store, as some of it’s gone before you see it

glass spade
#

fr? thats wild

flint folio
#

Game is wank and a glorified shitty toy shop, I wish they’d die

glass spade
#

LOL

#

i got frontiers from there

#

but only cos of the steelbook

flint folio
#

I get plenty from game, not because I want to, but because I have to

#

The steelbook they sent me was bent and the case for the game broken

glass spade
#

frontiers was 30 quid release month at tescos

glass spade
flint folio
#

I did both

glass spade
#

game conditon is important asf to me

flint folio
#

But I’m a stinky collecting fuck so need the extra stuff, so I can’t win

glass spade
#

i sometimes just get the assload of fifa games as case replacements

flint folio
#

CEX sometimes gets sealed games, worth knowing

#

A few times if people have fucked game cases we swap them out to be nice

glass spade
#

like my copy of mgs4 was sticky so i got a fifa game to make it look nice

flint folio
#

Someone brought Pokémon black for trade in and the case was so fucked we couldn’t buy it, so some shitty 3 quid game was binned and they got that case lol

glass spade
#

the game

#

was in the case

flint folio
#

Lol, that’s funny

#

Happens when people are shit

glass spade
#

yh i gave it back to them innit

#

cos if i was like seen opening it, and it later got stolen

flint folio
#

Some CEX stores are horseshit and it’s quite sad since it’s a cool little store

glass spade
#

i didnt wanna seem sus like i had a part in it

#

why doesnt cex just order new games

flint folio
#

I actually have knowledge of this so I can actually tell you

glass spade
#

like be both 2nd hand and first hand

flint folio
#

Some stores have trialed it - not sure how much came of it

glass spade
#

oh right

flint folio
#

But they have considered it as far as I’m aware

glass spade
#

i mean i understand if it doesnt work out, cos the vast majority of people go to cex for a deal on a game

flint folio
#

I think it’s mainly profitability, since it’s a quick selling shop - so cash value isn’t great

glass spade
#

but itd be nice if i didnt have to go to game to get new games

flint folio
#

Voucher price is decent but if you go to make cash the store makes quite a profit so I’m not sure if they’d profit as much

glass spade
#

why are fifa games dirt cheap after the next one came out tho

flint folio
#

Who wants last years fifa game

glass spade
#

like going for 50p and everything

#

true

flint folio
#

Last years game sits at 20-10 quid for the most part

glass spade
#

oh right

flint folio
#

Since fifa is so disposable, more so than COD, you have to stay on the latest version to keep up with their online mode - it’s where the player base lies and if you watch actual football, it keeps up to date with it

#

But fifa 22 has been above a tenner for a while still, no idea why

glass spade
#

also what does discounted mean

#

cos like u have the unboxed, boxed and discounted

flint folio
#

I could tell you what shit CEX would say, or what ours would

atomic topaz
#

PS plus gave me fifa 22 for free awhile back
i will probably never play it

flint folio
#

Boxed means near mint condition, or should do - complete with box and all insides from the factory, still may have a little wear but should still be like new - some stores take the piss with this and frankly but we’re quite good

Unboxed is like “it has been unboxed and used” can still come with the box, but may be missing official cables, or just signs of wear

Discounted is straight up the case if the controller isn’t the same colour, the console is quite scratched, or the controller is 3rd party for all except PS4s, which have to have official controllers

#

All consoles have to have in tact warranty seals and subject to about 45 minutes of testing there abouts

#

TLDR discounted means a scratched console, or different coloured controller/3rd party wired

glass spade
#

oh right

#

yh thats long

#

discounted with 3rd party controller is 20 quid cheaper than unboxed but a official ds3 is 30 quid

#

so if a store u go to doesnt have the official ds3

#

u gotta pay 30 quid for an official one

#

how do u tell if 3rd part ones have pressure sensitiity

flint folio
#

Discounted doesn’t always come with 3rd party it’s just a factor that means it could be

Best guess it to assume they don’t, if you want official stuff for a ps3 go unboxed or ask them to check which discounted ones have official controllers

#

I've never seen CeX sell a console with a third party controller

atomic topaz
#

Sorry I'm just reading back on that conversation

#

It’s not a direct comparison it’s just our equivalent

atomic topaz
#

So that kind of puts into perspective for me how bad they are

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

One experience against another isn’t specifically valid to decide I’m just complaining

atomic topaz
#

I support your complaining because that place sounds like a trashheap

#

Places like that that specialize in new releases are just a necessary evil for gamers

flint folio
#

GameStop has its own dreadful experiences it just depends where you seem to live lol

atomic topaz
#

Especially when there's one five minutes from my house

flint folio
#

I’m fine with new release stores but I’d like it if anyone I spoke to cares about breathing

atomic topaz
#

lmao

#

I've had some really cool employee interactions at gamestops but I've also had ones that seem like they're not even gamers

atomic topaz
#

for sure

flint folio
#

the other weird thing is that GAME is owned by another company and is moving their gaming stores into other shops, that being a sports apparel store and a clothing/fragrance superstore

#

super fucking weird to see a coat for 300 quid and turn a corner and buy a switch in the same store for less

flint folio
#

Sports direct and house of fraser

next tartan
#

God that's gonna be hectic for sports direct

#

Cos their stores are always massive as it is

glass spade
#

ik scott the woz talked abt that one time

glass spade
#

litereally

#

i legit spent a good half hour tryna find game at bullring

#

but its in sports direct

#

like tf???

flint folio
#

It’s hilarious how hard it is to find them even once you get to the store lol

glass spade
#

yh

#

like i was tryba get frontiers but apparently they moved into sports direct

#

its crazy how compact it is

grizzled stone
#

Speaking of Sonic tho: since when did Shadow the Hedgehog get so expensive? Saw a PS2 copy in CeX and I think it was over £10

flint folio
#

GameCube copy is 32

#

Shadow is £8 at CEX on anything else

#

Bare in mind inner city stores are more expensive because fuck you I guess

glass spade
#

yh 06 is 15 quid on xbox 360 and i think for ps3 too

#

i think it’s mad that generations is still 12 quid with or without the actual game case

flint folio
#

Who is selling loose discs for games what fucking maniac loses the case

glass spade
#

FOR AN XBOX 360 GAME

#

THING IS

#

THERES ATLEAST 3 PRINTED CASES FOR GENESTIONS

#

THE ONLY VALID REASON U DONT HAVE THE CASE FOR ANY GAME IS IF ITS A HANDHELD DEVICE

#

AND THATS STILL NOT EVEN VALID

#

no way people throwaway cases like

#

what

#

why

next tartan
flint folio
#

They don’t

next tartan
#

So how the FUCK are stores selling generations without the case

flint folio
#

EBay I presumed

next tartan
#

Oh

#

Hm

#

Weird

atomic topaz
next tartan
#

Yea but CeX doesn't

#

They're so pedantic about it

#

So it confused me

#

Bangin

#

Even got some neat inserts too, very cool

atomic topaz
#

that "enter the sonic age" is very cool

#

badass

flint folio
#

I’ll get a ps3 copy at some stage, my 360 one gets a lot of use

glass spade
#

but no cool post cards

#

also the disc is so fucking scratched up

flint folio
#

Shouldn’t have been bought, unless cunts lol

glass spade
#

i dont have a 360 to test it on tho tbh

#

i just got it so i got rip the iso and emulate it of xenia on my xbox one

#

cos thats pretty much the only legal way to emulate

#

nah i mean

#

there was another disc

#

but then she was like

#

"nah hold on" and got another one

flint folio
#

Lol, should have fucked it right off, any disk that’s fucked can be returned for a replacement and we send off the disc

#

Or some stores resurface but we don’t have one

glass spade
#

what do u think

#

to me

#

i think thats bad

#

cos the other ps3 and even ps2 discs arent this fucked

#

its strange that the disc would be fucked cos the case looked like it was barely ever touched

#

cos its got lik

#

little fucking

#

things taht looklike food

#

u cant see on the photo

flint folio
#

If you can take a photo diagonally so the light shows the scratches I could tell

#

But for me I do accept scratched discs only if I deem them acceptable, from my own experience

glass spade
#

bet

glass spade
#

is that any better?

#

my generations disc i also got from cex btw

#

like

#

ones fucked up badly and one isn’t

#

lol

flint folio
#

Yeah you could take that back

#

If they have another copy they’ll just swap it out

glass spade
#

then put it back for some reason

#

and then put the other one

#

i have no clue why she did that but worst possibilty that one was way worse

flint folio
#

Lol, fun

#

If the game works then that’s fine I suppose

glass spade
#

yh it’s calm

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

yeah a long time ago

#

he was arrested multiple times for insider trading

atomic topaz
#

OK I guess the news is probably like a week old but I didn't know about it

flint folio
#

he was initially arrested for the first time in november of 2022

glass spade
#

kojima could never

#

thats why hes the GOAT

I’m playing sonic speed simulator again

#

It’s had a reborn update and it’s less fast, has boost and a few other bits

#

Actually quite nice

atomic topaz
#

what characters have they added since i fell off of it

flint folio
#

They added shadow today

#

Soap shoe sonic, a lot of seasonal stuff

atomic topaz
#

or big the cat

flint folio
#

Maybe? They added big at one point

atomic topaz
#

or rouge

#

what about any of the chaotix

flint folio
#

Yes

#

Jet was added, espio is the only chaotix afaik

atomic topaz
#

The guy that kind of looks like knuckles but isn't knuckles?

#

i forget his name

#

oh Mighty the Armadillo

flint folio
#

Yeah I don’t think so

atomic topaz
#

I wanna see big the fatass cat run at the speed of sound

flint folio
#

its event stuff, always

#

so gotta get it while you can, although likely stuff will eventually rotate

#

i just find it quite addicting running about

atomic topaz
#

Rip the cat

flint folio
#

its a free roblox game they gotta do it somehow

atomic topaz
#

True

flint folio
#

but it is quite exciting joining for new events while they're hot, quite like any free game

#

im sure youre more than aware

atomic topaz
#

i am yes

#

the entirely marvel focused Fortnite season was very fun

glass spade
#

yeah it was

#

i just hope like

#

it doesnt happen again

#

i really wish fn just brought back original shit like last season

#

i havent looked at the new season been busy with exams

#

aot seems cool but i hope thats not the t100 skin

#

cos as much as i like sniping ariana grande and a travis scott duo as batman and darth vader

#

i miss the charm of the OG skins back in chapter 1

grizzled stone
#

oh hey speed sim

#

I last played for the metal mach 3 event

flint folio
#

Shadow event was neat, I unlocked that in the end

glass spade
#

finished unleashes great game

#

didn’t play for months cos of exams

#

but i just had the last stage and final boss

#

good game

#

would never replay it all the way thru for a good few years

#

only the day time stages

flint folio
#

goated video game

glass spade
#

goated yes

#

frustrating yes

#

extremely fun when it’s not

#

yes

#

glitched tf out yes

#

idk abt u but they amount of glitches and clipping thru the world i’ve experienced has been

#

not fun to say the least

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

i cant say ive played

flint folio
atomic topaz
#

me neither, IGN gave it a 4/10, too much water

glass spade
glass spade
#

so so so many

#

i’ve even shown some here

flint folio
#

no idea what you did to find so so so many, ive played the game about 4 times now

#

i fell through the floor in rooftop run once

glass spade
#

that’s all i did

#

boost

flint folio
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

glass spade
#

got unlucky i guess

#

would play the day not night stages again tho fr

flint folio
#

i liked the night but whenever i went back i flashed through the day stages

glass spade
#

night maybe if it was late at night and i wanted to relax

#

but naaah

#

imma play 06 next

#

try to get that to work on xenia for xbox

atomic topaz
#

i just like blue rat going vroom vroom

glass spade
#

facts

atomic topaz
#

if sega is ever to do combat in a sonic game the right way, it has to feel fast

#

imo

#

sonic unleashed combat makes me want to find anything comparable to robots and destroy it

glass spade
#

fronteirs was good tho

atomic topaz
#

yes

glass spade
#

the open word needs to less like a terrain generator in roblox studio

#

and more like

#

structured and makes sense

#

if u know what i mean

ps5 controller?

#

ps3 copy of sonic 06

#

what are you playing at joe

flint folio
#

DualSense syncs to ps3 with ease

#

Hold share and PS button on the Bluetooth settings and it detects it, just can’t press the home button to go home, but it’s more comfortable

#

Game is still totally unfinished and slow, but I still love it and I can’t explain that too well anymore

atomic topaz
#

same with ps4 controller

flint folio
#

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the ps3 controller doesn’t either

atomic topaz
#

yes

#

part of me had some hope when i tried the ps4 on ps3

#

misplaced optimism i suppose

flint folio
#

Yeah it doesn’t detect it as much else, so I just plug stuff into my monitor

atomic topaz
#

especially because as we are all probably aware, DS3 kinda sucks

grizzled stone
#

tbh I'd like a DS3 if I had a real one I think

#

Though the triggers are baffling, should've been concave rather than convex

#

but given how much I like the DS2, that but wireless and with modern-ish extras like triggers and the home button, I'm theoretically down

atomic topaz
grizzled stone
#

yeah no excuse for those hahaha

atomic topaz
#

its so
ughhhhhhh

grizzled stone
#

I wonder if there are replacements available, I've seen some little add on things but I'd like to replace the entire triggers

atomic topaz
#

hmm

#

i hadnt thought of that but regardless, DS4 is a great alternative

glass spade
#

thats actually mad lmfao

#

W playsation

flint folio
#

Yeah it’s nice

glass spade
#

i thought u didnt like the ps3 ver of 06 tho

flint folio
#

Huh

#

No it’s just worse; I love 06

atomic topaz
#

just curious

flint folio
#

Are you aware of old ps3 games and how poorly they were optimised for the console because of the ps3

atomic topaz
#

yes

#

you right

#

cell processor and shit

flint folio
#

That’s the only reason, it loads slower and looks a tad worse, and NO TROPHY SUPPORT FFS

atomic topaz
flint folio
#

Sonic unleashed does, for some people

#

Later ps3 games do, it outclassed the 360 in later years but companies never quite got it

atomic topaz
#

that is quite true

#

Microsoft had that cursed Don Matrick era going on where he was an idiot and trying to make the whole system focus more on casuals

flint folio
#

Issue with that was it wasn’t good at that either

atomic topaz
#

yeah thats what im sayin lol

#

it tanked them

flint folio
#

The real casual market was enjoying blu rays on ps3 and still do to this day

atomic topaz
#

lol tru

flint folio
#

And it apparently played burned discs better too than anything after it lol

atomic topaz
#

oh damn thats cool, hadnt heard about that

flint folio
#

SNOC

glass spade
#

how hard will that final boss be then

#

cos it was piss easy til the space invaders part

#

that part killed me

flint folio
#

That was very not fun that final boss fight but I have no idea how it’ll be

next tartan
#

The knight boss fucked me up cos I didn't get enough rings beforehand

#

I had to reload the save and get max rings

#

It kept glitching for me too so I was fuming

#

This music update sounds super interesting though, if they have all the songs from classic stages then it'll be fun. Imagine going thru frontiers open world while hearing escape from the city or something

glass spade
#

need his world

#

best sonic song

flint folio

Blimey

joe is literally him

#

hes that guy

I unlocked mega fuck off and die difficulty and big boost in cyberspace

imma be honest
and this is pretty much just me admitting to being a dingus

and that was before i realized i was still in the sonic channel

Kiiiiinda

#

if it was turned up a bit more and not a party game, that'd be sweet

#

Really, Sonic Adventure 2 would fit a JSR-type art style pretty well IMO

atomic topaz
#

like completely

flint folio
#

The sonic model you have posted about, or at least very similar models, are based on the cover arts for the adventure games

grizzled stone
#

yeah!

#

translates the uekawa style into the game much better than I expected

It could be an April first thing but that’d be SAD

@flint folio i was late and missed most of the discussion, but i actually watched the trailer Last night, didnt know it was a visual novel style thing, and i enjoy that genre, so maybe i'll play it today

Sonic doesn't have a penis

I don't want to think about sonics penis why did you make me think about it

You asked if they were naked

#

Animals usually are

#

But if anthropomorphic I’m sure they can choose to wear a hat every now and then

#

I don’t think nakedness means the same thing to an echidna as it does us lol

I was joking smh

Speaking of sonic, finally got through Sonic's story in SA1

#

Getting more accustomed to the adventure 1 vibes, though Idk if I have the energy to go through another story

#

Also I really like how the first two levels of SA1 kinda capture similar vibes as the first level of 3D Blast

Very 90s

I haven't been minding it, kinda janky in that my lure keeps getting stuck or I keep failing to actually get the hook in the water in certain locations (mainly ones in Icecap

I wonder if, if that was a few years older, it would've used the 2D artwork like the stickers I used to get

Like these things

built in circles!

actually hold on I'm not sure if that one's official

Something I like from the art assets DVD is that, since it was released around Unleashed, it contains 2D artwork of the Werehog

#

Angry Birds Movie 3: now featuring appearances from the Sonic cast

Lol bizarre, probably to work on their mobile games I guess?

grizzled stone

Probably, seems like a good idea

#

also hey Rovio are Finnish? TIL

atomic topaz

or maybe rovio is talented at things beyond animal catapulting

They’ll just make the mobile games better/worse depending on who you’re asking probably

True, but I mean in a sense that the sonic cast are very familiar with being round and launching themselves at enemies and breaking wooden things

Well isn’t there a whole thing with angry birds being discontinued for the other one that has micro transactions

grizzled stone

Oh yeah >:(

they’re legit just the boss battles away from the full game play

finally played frontiers again

hopefully they can fix the only other bad thing bad abt 06 and clean up the kiss scene with elise and sonic and just make her kiss his forehead instead

womn kis heghog

i thought i should play that and doki doki before the end of the month

#

so i can study for finals

#

then i can play the rest of my game to do list

flint folio
#

A list like this would burn me out hard on franchises

atomic topaz
#

making it super long is probably the best way to get burnt out

flint folio
#

Especially like 5 games of one franchise like I couldn’t do it

atomic topaz
#

i mean the first one is jedi survivor anyways lol

#

which was a given

#

so i lined up 4 after that

#

Dead Space, Metroid prime, and then the two Injustice campaigns
