I’ve played a couple sonic games(specifically the original 3, a few of the DS ones, and Forces) but they just never clicked for me.

Always felt like, for a game that is focused on speed, it puts way too many roadblocks in your path specifically to slow your pace down. lol.
A good Sonic game perfectly blends speed and platforming challenges together so that exceptional play is rewarded with the ability to blitz through everything. It was never meant to be something handed to you from the beginning but rather something you work towards.

I'll post this bit later once I finish a few more anime.

I kinda get why the original studio wanted to remake TLOU, but why make Naughty Dog do it once you tell the other guys no? It already looks good, and anyone who has a PS5 and PS+ has the remaster, so why make one of your biggest studios waste funds on it?
It's **** which is a shame.

To be honest I blame it on TLOU partially. Made them realise the whole interactive movie thing is perfect in their heads. Which is fine if that is exactly meant to be it (looking at Quantic Dream).

They should just make Naughty Dog a movie studio. Do us all a favour.

You could say the same about Katamari, really. Start out rolling up snacks and stationary while avoiding rats and other things bigger than you, and eventually work your way up to the bloody Milky Way and beyond.

Seconding this.

You don't just go fast and that's, you gotta earn your speed.

Now is every Sonic games as brilliant level design? hahah no, but games like alot of the classic & some 3D games like Adventure know that going on a straight line with little to no challenge is boring, so obastacles are added to make you more aware of your environemment and such.

That, and a golden rule about Sonic games is that, the higher you are in the level, the easier it be, and vice-versa.

Again, it's not flawlessy done in all cases, but most of what peoples agree are the "best" Sonic games tend to follow what I described most of the time.

I don't know much about this Kalamari guy but I'll take your word for it.

first WrestleMania to be closed out by an all black match (and even better is that the women are main eventing for the 2nd time ever). This is progress for both the black community and for women

The Rock: his list goes on and on and on
Kofi Kingston: First African Born WWE Champion, 2nd black man to hold that title, and the 6th black person to hold a world title in WWE as a whole
Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair: first full black wrestlers to main event WrestleMania (also the 2nd women’s main event match, and for the show one of the first to have an all black match on the show as a whole)

This is what the wrestling world needs more of

Until Jim Ryan is gone this is just how it’s gonna be unfortunately
He's a backwards thinking prick, that's what he is.

Everyday it annoys me about Japan Studio especially. One of my favourite studios in the industry just ****ed over like that. Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, LocoRoco, Parappa, Gravity Rush, Everybody's Golf, Soul Sacrifice etc. And nope all for the AAA blockbusters.

And really I blame The Last of Us's popularity for it. Days Gone was zombies but it had cool meets Sons of Anarchy vibe that made it stand out but of course they are like nope to that.

Instead they prefer the whole world is so sad and bad interactive movies.

By the way I mean this to Naughty Dog mainly, not so much Insomniac and Sucker Punch.

If they add Gilgamesh to FFVIIR Part 2, should he be a boss, a summon, or BOTH? Dutch Raikuna Dutch Raikuna
If it's their own version? A summon.

If its' THE Gilgamesh then an extra boss. I can imagine him popping out of the void and being to Cloud "I recognise you!" from Dissidia but it isn't that timeline Cloud.

If they still make you fight a summon before you get the materia like they did in Part 1 then he kind of gets to be both by default now that I think about it. But I would definitely want there to be a bit of cutscene-age around him considering his legacy in the series.

And yeah. **** Jim Ryan. We need to oust him so all of Sony's old IPs can come back.

And honestly, now I hate The Last of Us.

I feel like Sonic Heroes did a pretty good job at it as well, thanks to how each team and individu member plays to the puzzles each level throws at you. The performance of the Dreamcast era cast only makes it a lot better, since they actually put some solid effort into it (which I’ve noticed for a majority of Sonic casts before a recast).
You know a pipe dream I have? A Sonic game that returns to the three character gameplay mechanic from Heroes but it’s just one team and it’s Sonic with Tangle and Whisper from the comics.
