A bit late to the news but Blazblue Central Fiction and Cross Tag Battle getting Rollback netcode updates on PC really brightened my day. I was waiting for this series to finally get its due.

No switch so idgaf

As I said, I love boost. I just understand why it's always divided people.

Adventure was more the universally liked formula because it was way more focused on platforming, with a lot of the speed sections being automated or just straight shots. Boost is more like a line of obstacle courses with some 2D platforming thrown in on the side, and I can see why that ain't everyone's cup of tea.

Yeah, I know. Speaking of boost, and the Adventure formula, I think they can be mixed to create a good formula, if done right.

Also, I don't think people should have been divided by the boost. Maybe by a little, but still, it is not really that bad. It might be in my eyes only, but still...

Hey @geoffkeighley do you have any extra invites to TGA?

Thanks, we'll see you there!

Take a look at this, guys! Tagging MooMew64 for this.

"Thirty and Flirty"

God i love all the interactions people have with the Sonic Twitter

 

[MooMew64]

'Aight

I'mma be real, if this thing's open world, I'm not looking forward to the Sonic Utopia comparisons, lol.

 

[CannonStreak]

Anyway, while we have barely any info about any of the new Sonic games, about Frontiers in particular, I can still tell for some reason that Sega is confident in Sonic Frontiers.

Not to say that I think anything negative about this new game's chances (I'm probably one of the more positive sorts you'll find on it, lol), I wouldn't think too hard on the marketing. Most companies will say the new game is the best one yet because, well...You never want people to think it won't be, lol.

Just gotta wait and see. I'm hopeful that at absolute worst it's gonna be decent.

Yeah, I know. It was just a gut feeling.

And I don't really trust it that much.

Sonic Frontiers

Yee haw

 

[PhantomShab]

I don't have any hopes for that open world Sonic game. Sonic Team doesn't care to put any effort into the franchise anymore. They pawned off a remaster of the first well recieved game they had in half a decade to some 3rd party studio and ended up with a bug filled mess that rivaled Sonic 06 and Rise of Lyric. Forces was trash that tried to please everyone in the fanbase they fractured and ended up pleasing nobody. The last good Sonic game wasn't even made by Sonic Team.

 

[CannonStreak]

Sonic Frontiers

Yee haw

La la, la la, la la, a new frontier, la la!

Sorry, but I had to.

 

[MooMew64]

Sonic Frontiers

Yee haw

Give Knuckles his cowboy hat back Sega you COWARDS.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

We probably could expect DLC for Nick All-Stars Brawl announced, both Garfield and Shredder.

Maybe more news on Multiversus like more character announcements.

don’t think much will be announced dlc wise after tomorrow…as much as I’d like that to be so

 

[dezeray112]

It’s definitely the ten rings show that was rumored around the same time as the Agatha show that has now been confirmed.

I do believe that the Ten Rings show is more than likely considering that it had been within the rumour circle for a while. I also recall that there were murmurs of an "Agents of Atlas" Disney+ show in the works too, but I am not entirely sure whether this is true or not. But I guess we'll wait and see what comes up within the future.

Well, crap omicron is here in my city.

Just keep taking the proper precautions is all I can keep doing. Until then keep living life.

Stay safe and take the neccessary precautions required.

When I was in London a few days ago, I was absoulutely terrified when I saw a load of people not complying with the regulations set by the UK government in which wearing a mask is required when entering a store and shopping centre as well as social distancing.

Not to call London or its country idiots at all, but I think it is idiotic that they are doing that. They must not be taking it seriously for some reason.

I've said this here but there have been people up north here threatening staff out right. Saw a few today and one ******** about a made up rights act and all.

Still funnier cause Northern Ireland, people have been shouting that its religious segregation.
I'm surrounded by idiots in my community.

 

[KillerCage]

If I still hurt from it, so shall you.

Did you see DBE in theaters?
I did and I regret doing so.

I didn't, fortunately.

But I paid money renting it.

What are you talking about, Black knight was a Sonic team game.

...Claiming Black Knight was the last good Sonic game is certainly a take I wasn't expecting to see today.

And I say that as someone who actually likes it.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

So I forgot to show this video of my cat.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

r/pokemon is complaining because of a massive size differential

A massive size differential am I right


I'm really getting tired of this debacle.

Tbh, the models could be a bit bigger but the Pokemon fandom is too busy jerking off HGSS 24/7 so eh...

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Why is digging for the fossils in BDSP so tedious. I’ve dug into probably 50 walls and all I’ve found are these orbs. Come on! I just want my armor fossil!

It's even hotter of a take because it implies Black Knight was good.

 

[Wario Bros.]

What do you think we will get from the next wave of Legends: Arceus news- new Pokémon, new Hisuian form, or both?

 

[Noipoi]

At least one new Pokémon or Hisuian form. Couldn’t tell ya which one it’ll be.

Or maybe it’s a slightly bigger trailer and they show a couple new features. That’d be cool.

 

[TheMightyP]

Tbh anything. Not gonna spoil anything but the potential leaks got me hyped up

 

[CannonStreak]

Not to say Sega's never been at fault, but personally, about Sonic games, despite how gameplay trailers may be in terms of being convincing, people have overhyped themselves and bought into the gameplay of such trailers without using good judgement or thinking. So I think that it is their fault in a way that they end up getting disappointed in Sonic games by trusting Sega too much when they shouldn't in the first place. In a way, that is, as in not completely their fault, but still...

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I’m glad Marvel movies are branching out into more stuff. Working nicely with Sony on merging Venom with Spider-Man is great, Daredevil is confirmed returning with Charlie Cox, Deadpool 3 will probably be the first Rated-R MCU movie, and Blade got ****ING MAHERSHALA ALI and will likely also be Rated-R and will most certainly be the best Blade move yet? Hell YES.

It’s a great time for Marvel to spread its wings and I am here for it. The Blade movie specifically is a match made in heaven that I’m shocked they were able to make happen. Brownie points if they get Wesley Snipes to play this versions Whistler.

I just want a Sonic game that's actually cohesive and playable. Aside from Mania, the last they've done so was with Generations, a game over a decade old.


Yeah, that's right, Generations is 10 years old as of November 1st.

Not saying I blamed you. There are some people who do this, but some other who do can be more understandable. I mean, Sega still has a role in all this.

Anyway, I just wanted to get what I said above off my chest.

It’s 2011

I’m ten years old

I’ve finally finished Sonic Colors after months of trying

Had the time of my life

See new Sonic game coming out

It looks ****in rad

Ask mom if we can get it

Spoiler

We only have a Wii

 

[CannonStreak]

Anyway, I don't think we will get any Sonic news at The Game Awards.

We will just get Eggman doing an announcement about his wife, Shadow the Hedgehog and what Eggman does to the moon.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Despite buying BOTW on the Switch's release day, I never actually beat it. Time to start a new save and fix that.

Nice!

I expect you to be done with Ganon in 30 minutes.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I would stomp right into Ganon's castle, ignore the divine beasts, and kick him into next Tuesday.

...If I was a speedrunner. And good at the game.

 

[DanganZilla5]

I'm not much of a Sonic fan but from what I've seen, a lot of the modern Sonic games look like they could be decent games if they were actually polished. I've noticed a trend where ever since Sonic 06 the games have all sorts of technical issues, from framerate dips to really noticeable glitches that take you out of the game. You'd think Sega would treat its number one property with care, but they haven't, and to be frank they are very lucky Sonic is still as popular as he is. With the kind of track record the series has, most other video games series would have perished a while ago. Legit all they needed to do was give the games another 4 or so months in the oven and all would have been good.

 

[TheMightyP]

Atm, Legends Arceus is my most anticipated game of 2022.

Splatoon 3 is a close 2nd.

 

[DanganZilla5]

My most anticipated game of 2022 so far is Kirby. I'm happy for the series that it finally took the dive into 3D and I look forward to seeing how they take advantage of that aspect.

However I also have a feeling that Xenoblade 3 is a safe bet for next year. If so, that is hands down the thing I'm most excited for above everything else in life.

Oh yeah, I also am looking forward to Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga. Although I'm a bit concerned. The game has gotten delayed a lot and judging from what the developers have said on social media, it sounds like they bit off way more than they could chew. Hopefully they take their time and maybe this will be one of the few games that went through development hell and still had a decent launch. I dealt with some annoying glitches in Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens so hopefully that won't happen again.
