Um... that's intriguing.

I've spent all day devising a new way to implement Tomes in Fire Emblem.

Which is totally productive and not at all just me procrastinating.

I wanted to rank the Sonic games through being as objective as possible and I thought it would be fun.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Well if you did like Kamoshida I’d be wondering what was wrong with you.


Yeah but compared to me you probably blow me out of the water. I lowered the difficulty and almost still lost to the grass guy with the fog of war.

I started liking him the first time I saw him...back when I didn’t know him. Hoping he dies

If Advance Wars ever comes back they should take some ideas from War Groove. Like having the commanding officer as an actual useable unit and dogs... it can always use more dogs.

Murdering dogs?

How cruel of you!

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

Hey good luck on the new job! What type of position is it if I may ask?



Well theres Pizza coming up so uh... pizza time lol

I've been up in watching Voltron and HxH 2011. Enjoying those. Still gotta catch up on some manga. I've been trying to balance school and work for the first time atm and it's been challenging so far.

It’s a small florist shop. I’m mainly going to be conditioning and taking care of the flowers and plants and making flower arrangements.

Good luck to you with your endeavour.

I'm almost finished with it. I've counted all the ones I've played before.
I'm also doing only mainline, so the gamegear games, Sonic Runners, and Sonic Pinball Party don't count, even though I've played those.

I agree with having the Commanding Officer on the map (similar to what DoR introduced) but I can do without dogs in AW. Keep in mind this is a series about tanks, rockets, aircraft, etc. That would be super out of place lol.

Dogs destroying tanks though...

But jokes aside, I could see dogs in a tutorial level, with an in-game explanation that there's no need to waste war resources just to train a rookie commander

OK, here are the results of my sonic game ranking:

Spoiler

System

• Game title, release date
• Controls/Physics: How intuitive are the controls? Is the game easy to pick up and play? Do the characters feel as smooth as butter, or wonky and clunky? Is Sonic super-fast and agile like he’s supposed to be, or does he feel awkward and slow by his standards?
• Level design: Are the levels memorable and fun to play through? Is the difficulty just right based on how early each level is? Or, is enemy placement cheap/unfair and are there difficulty spikes and drops throughout the game? Are the boss battles any good?
• Replayability: How are the extra features in the game? Is the multiplayer mode worth your time? How about collecting chaos emeralds or achievements; is that worth it? Is the game fun enough in general to play 100%? Are there fun mini-games as well?
• Visual Aesthetics: Am I able to tell what I’m doing while I’m playing? Are the graphics gorgeous, or are the color palettes dull and uninteresting? Are the animations awkward and grainy so I can’t see anything or tell what I’m doing? Are the camera angles good or bad? Keep “for it’s time” in mind, but don’t hold to it as law.
• Music: Does the music fit each level well? Does it fit the atmosphere/theme of the game well? Or, is it bland and forgettable, or even jarring?
• Story: Is the storyline for the game functional? Or is it an incoherent mess?

This sounds about right, if I'm being honest.

I find it really funny '06 ranks worse than Labyrinth, the game where Sonic is literally as slow as molasses.

I think you could also split 3D Blast into two, because the Genesis/Mega Drive version and Saturn version do have differences; even though the music part is subjective, I'd say the Saturn version of 3D Blast is slightly better than the Mega Drive version because of the improved graphics and Special Stages (the half-pipe is a lot better than the Bridge).

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Mania being the highest one doesn't surprise me.

It's literally the best thing we've seen from him in years, if ever.

06 and Labyrinth were SUPER close together. Out of all the games, I gave Labyrinth a 1/10 in controls, and it's the ONLY game to get 1/10 for the controls category, because it spits on Sonic's niche of being very speedy...
but it functions better than 06. While 06 has excellent music and Sonic actually goes fast overall, it does everything else VERY wrong. 06 is a broken mess, Labyrinth is infuriating but it's slightly less broken than 06.

I've heard the Saturn version is significantly better, but I've never played it. I do love the Panic Puppet theme from the Saturn version though...one of my favorite Sonic songs because it's so bloody threatening and adrenaline rushing...perfect for a final level. Was also used in the fan game called Sonic Dimensions, which is basically 2D Unleashed but with excellent physics...and it's amazing.

 

[Z25]

Honestly the best way to bring advance wars back would be through fire emblem heroes then a new game.
Heroes would provide a lot of exposure for it weather people like it or not.

It be the best way to advertise a new game

I'd argue '06 has that "so bad, it's hilarious" kind of charm.

Doesn't mean it should be higher than Labyrinth though, just that at least, '06 is redeemable since we can laugh at it.

Here's a full playthrough of Sonic Dimensions I found on youtube:

It has 7 stages that are either completely original or somewhat inspired from past stages found in canon, official games. The 8th stage, Jungle Joyride, is...well, a completely 2d version of Jungle Joyride from Unleashed lol

A crossover could cause more harm than any Camilla alt.

"Sonic Labyrinth: It's functional." The greatest endorsement worthy of being put on the box!

The Saturn version of 3D Blast is pretty much the same besides the soundtrack, the graphics and the Special Stage. I actually prefer the Saturn soundtrack to the Genesis one 9 times out of 10, but the Special Stage is where the Saturn version really shines, I've heard it said that 3D Blast Saturn's Special Stage is the best the halfpipe has ever been, and I have to say that's not a wrong statement, it's too bad it's connected to 3D Blast and not an actual Sonic game.

There is one difference to the main gameplay, also related to the Special Stages; Tails and Knuckles work slightly differently in the Saturn version of 3D Blast, though I can't remember the specifics.

 

[praline]

I think PJ and my relationship is more like Claire and Mr. X

He always shows up at the worst time.

 

[Megadoomer]

One thing that I never see getting mentioned about Sonic '06 is its multiplayer, which is hilariously broken. Maybe it's because nobody wants to subject their friends to Sonic '06.

Still, in the multiplayer, you can play as Sonic, Shadow, or Silver. Silver moves about half as fast as Sonic or Shadow does, but his telekinesis can freeze people in place indefinitely, until he has to jump. On some stages, this means that Silver can grab someone with telekinesis and get halfway across the stage before his opponent can move, and there's nothing they can do to escape. (in other words, it's no use)

Also, while looking up the game's multiplayer, I found this: http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(2006_game)#Emerald_Accounting It really puts things into perspective.
