If they can somehow turn Sonic 06 into a decent game, then great. More power to em.

Biggest thing is retconning the Elise kiss scene. Second biggest are all of the bugs while playing through the levels, really. I'd also personally tweak the Silver levels to make them more enjoyable; less tedious.

Interesting... Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD is the only Switch game in my library that doesn't ask you to pick a Switch player profile to play the game.

I never got the hate for the Sonic and Elise romance. Like, there is clearly a difference between regular “keep as pets, eat as food” animals and Sonic’s crew. To me, Sonic and Elise kissing is like watching a human kiss a Klingon. Not really all that much to speak of.

My biggest issues with it is that there isn’t enough material or time to justify the romantic elements. She’s only known Sonic for TWO DAYS and more of that time is spent saving her ass than on the bonding moments, yet she would rather let the world be destroyed than give up their little time together. Doesn’t help that Elise is a pretty weak character overall as well as her basically keeping Sonic away from the actual plot of the game, to the point where Sonic’s biggest contribution was getting killed.

Yeah. They probably would have to re-work the story a bit.

I’ve literally never played 06, nor seen any gameplay, so meh from me. Not leaning any particular way

I honestly can’t wait to see this.
Ok. Regardless of the story direction, this just feels like Sonic. I’m legit excited for this.

I can’t wait for it to be good or at least decent and for everyone to still treat it as trash because they wanted it to be. This is totally gonna be another Ghostbusters 2016 for me, but I don’t care, I’m still gonna get a good movie to add to my collection.

I'm in the middle of writing my female characters for Smash essay, but honestly it feels hundred times better if I used a keyboard instead of my stubby phone.

Man, is it me or is every Disqus chat on gaming websites just as poisonous and salty as GameFaqs?
The only Disqus chat I've ever partook in are comment section in Kissanime/Kissasian/etc. So far, I'd say that they're quite subtle depending on the show.

Gamefaqs is literally like the slums of Metro Manila.

That bad huh? I was looking at something minor the other day, someone developer was praising a game and the chat descended into a shouting match.
Gamefaqs is pretty much the slums of any city. Probably cause of where I live but stuff like that is kinda alien to me.

Yeah, unless its a show full of boys then you get the standard "Ewww yaoi", "Fujo bait, pass" comments
Ah...the reason I never watch shonen anime anymore. Or any really male-oriented anime in general.

I live in a (non-existent for now) border town in Ireland. A lot of stuff in main cities is alien to me. Tall buildings, having actual seats of government, extremely packed crowds. risk of pickpocketing and a lot, lot more. I've lived in a mid-sized town in England for about a third of my life and one of the major cities in Ireland. Same story.

The funny part is it doesnt even have to be Shonen-ai. They are so sensitive that they could see two bros being bros and think "eww fam Fujo bait for dirty fujo girls, pass"
Wonder how they would react knoing there are boys that like yaoi too

View attachment 259490So here's an interesting chart on brand loyalty. Playstation really overtakes Switch and Xbox, which in turn sweeps Gaming PCs.

Not saying brand loyalty is a good thing, but that would explain why there are far more hardcore Playstation fanboys than anyone else.
What does "brand loyalty" actually mean? Like, I've had every Nintendo console since N64 (+ NES and SNES after the fact); I have a 360 and an XBOne; and I have all 4 Playstation consoles and a PSP. Am I "brand loyal" to all of them or none of them?

I don't understand why this is a statistic that needs to be kept track of either way.

The problem was that Elise appeared to be of extraterrestrial origin.



Who, need I remind you, was locking lips with a corpse.



If the art direction weren't ass and Sonic weren't dead it might've been fine.

That's a really good point that I had forgotten about, not only is he an animal, but he's also dead at that point. Elise should be in prison with multiple charges.

I didn't mind it either, and it was solely one-sided too. Elise was a recluse overall, knowing nothing about actual romance or love. A full-out shut-in. So the knight in shining armor thing makes some sense. It's still poorly written, but it fits her situation enough. The ending also made sense, being a kiss of love and life. Doesn't mean Sonic felt the same way back. Again, not good writing to force it, though. At least Sonic was given the choice(and considering Unleashed, it's clear he would've chosen Amy if you remove the player control. We know he feels that way, but isn't able to really settle down in a relationship yet. Even casual dating).

It actually showed Amy not being an outright jealous *****, though, so that's something to give credit for. She got improved as a character throughout that game. Which also was kept for Unleashed, a far more mature personality. Probably wouldn't have kept the personality if it they didn't show her maturity in 06. I mean, she was ridiculous in Adventure 2, but at least go over it fast at times. Then Heroes came along and horribly reduced her to a lovesick puppy that was just... no. Shadow didn't have her in the game long, but she acted a lot better. Sonic Battle was as bad as Heroes, to the point she hallucinated Sonic into the battle(where he was overpowered as hell) to fight Emerl and Rouge. Like woooooooow. And Battle came out before Heroes too(though Heroes happens before Battle chronologically).

They've improved Amy ever since her massively good showing in 06, so that's nice. I hope they keep that up, not making her too lovesick as is. Sonic Boom also did a good job with keeping her not completely obsessed with Sonic. Show at least. I forget how she was in the games.

I don’t know how they would define brand loyalty, but I would think of it as something that makes one want to support a particular brand over other brands in the same industry.

At its more extreme end, it isn’t even because they prefer the content of the brand that they support over that of the other brands, but merely because they support the brand itself (thus merely being a form of tribalism.)

LoL our Corruption index is still as low as ever. Feels like every president that goes by here isn't actively trying to solve the country's problems.
Northern Ireland (where I consider my home despite spent so many years living in England and in the Republic) went without a government for about three years until about two weeks ago.
The situation is so weird of living here that people don't even know what it is. Is it a country? A region? A province? Occupied territory?

And I know of the Philippines and its government. I've heard about it more in depth the past few years.
