The strangest thing about Secret Rings is how you have to level up a whole bunch just to unlock better controls.

Man, now y’all got me interested in revisiting Black Knight. I liked it as a kid, honestly wonder if I’d still like it now.

And if you ever reach that point, you either hate yourself or you couldn't afford Mario Galaxy

Definitely the former in my case. I was blessed with Secret Rings the month it came out back in 2007, and Galaxy was still a little ways off IIRC.

Back then I was a dumb twerp who ate up anything Sonic.

Back then?

 

[Lamperouge]

Back then?

Nah, now I'm just a weeb.

Which is much, much worse.

This describes me back then...

And now. Which is why the new game cannot disappoint.

Can't be disappointed if you have no standards.

I can't say much considering I damn near 100% Sticker Star.

At the time, I liked it more than Super.

That's it.

I'm calling r/Paper Mario

Spoiler

lol jk I don't care if people like the game

In defense of Sonic and the Secret Rings, it was marketed as a sonic game (which was a mistake) and when people tried to play it as one they got frustrated. Secret Rings was really a game where sonic behaved like a customizable car. He automatically moved forward and had a plethora of skills you could equip to customize him. The bulk of the game revolved around using the proper skills for the proper missions- and if you didn't, he controlled terribly. There was a lot of strategy involved. Sometimes you uses agis slide to avoid damage, other times you want to go fast after landing and use the skill that dashes automatically from that but if you used that skill for precision levels it was just a mess. I completed nearly all of the missions and had fun with it by the end.

Man you are a gluttony for punishment

 

[MooMew64]

I almost 100% Color Splash

Until I saw the Roshambo Temples were 100% RNG and went "Oh heck no".

...

TBH my opinion of that game gets worse each year, lol.

 

[Noipoi]

I was gonna draw this big, grand E3 image for next week but uhhh

It’s a lil too intricate.

**** it imma just make some bad jokes instead.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Because Black Knight is playable to an extent

that and Knuckles continued to have drip

I think the only good thing from Secret Rings was the target reticule for the homing attack which Sonic had needed for a while. Otherwise it also had the multiplayer which was a fun novelty for a bit but you could also just play Mario Party instead.

I'd say the main theme was good as well...also the reveal trailer

And if you ever reach that point, you either hate yourself or you couldn't afford Mario Galaxy

then there's young me...who couldn't beat either

In my defense...

I don't the game is that bad. In fact, I still think it has some enjoyabilty to be found.

Origami King definitely soured opinions on Color Splash across the fandom tbh.

 

[Noipoi]

Color Splash?

I was way too invested in Sun and Moon at that point.

And like, who played their Wii U in 2016? We all acknowledged it was dead.

Dude my E3 video keeps flip flopping
At first, it was just Smash
Then general E3
Now I'm thinking of doing just Smash again 'cause I don't have time anymore

Oh I’ve got something else planned for E3...

Something bound to be...mildly entertaining? I dunno.

Hello WarChamp

 

[Noipoi]

Ugh FINE

I guess you are my little Warchamp7

Come here

Yes, Warchamp, this one right here.

To me SS has little specks of enjoyment, like tiny breadcrumbs here and there, but honestly I think that made the experience worse for me since it planted seeds of false hope for me in hoping this game will eventually get better.

I’m glad you were able to enjoy it but honestly SS is one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had playing a video game and the only positive thing I can see coming out of it is it becomes a learning tool of how NOT to design your game

 

[Pokelego999]

Warchamp's alive! Huzzah!

 

[Guynamednelson]

my little Warchamp7

More like my...thra icon, Warchamp7 , please.

 

[BlondeLombax]

I’ll be real; I genuinely enjoyed Secret Rings when I was a kid. I dunno how I got so used to the controls, I guess I just got lucky.

 

[Wademan94]

Secret Rings did have some rocking tracks, this one being my personal favorite

 

[Shroob]

Nocturne really does live up to its notoriety of being an insanely hard RPG.



Nearly cleared out a dungeon, until a enemy 20 levels above me spawned, moved first, and wiped out my party with an AOE, and I hadn't saved.


I love it

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I really did think the reveal trailer was extremely well done with representing Sonic's personality and his continued respect of love for his Nintendo enemies

 

[Deleted member]

Just got off my shift, what’s up?

 

[Pokelego999]

Warchamp is alive, idk what else.

 

[TheMightyP]

Bye Warchamp

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Bye Warchamp

It wasn't meant to last.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Got the approval to take Nintendo's E3 day off work!

 

[Shroob]

Warchamp is alive, idk what else.

Bye Warchamp

The saddest story ever told, and it's only 2 sentences long.

 

[Noipoi]

In awe at the size of this dub, boss man.

 

[Lamperouge]

Warchamp only left to work on finally getting that Mythra icon up.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

but does Mythra really deserve the love? Asking question to all Mythra stans and not Pyra stans

 

[Noipoi]

im kidding I hope he puts it up for you

 

[MooMew64]

Same here, got the whole event off.

Gamer time, my dude!
