If I can beat the first KH game on normal difficulty after that hell of a boss fight, I am playing the rest on the absolute easiest of difficulties

Well god damn, sound like this dog peed on everything you love
I felt like he pissed all over the entire multiverse with the pain I had to deal with. I really thought this game would be simple enough compared to something like a Final Fantasy or a Zelda…or the beginning level of X-Men Legends

Forces is an average game but Sonic fans act like it's the worst thing ever created in the universe times infinity.
Ehhh

I consider an average game to be a game that's just kinda alright. It's kinda fun, but nothing that's gonna stick with you.

Forces isn't terribly awful, or anything like that. But I think it's a solid below average.

But that's just my opinion.

Forces was Subpar but I think the bigger issue was that Sonic has been on a ****ty streak and having the high of Mania come down to crashing into the mid that is Sonic Forces burned them out.

And unlike 06 there's nothing to talk about because imo the biggest issue the game had was that it's boring as ****.

"Paul Blart talk fish?

Yes, no? Big Wang Peach!"

Am I close in his impression?
I think it'd be closer to something like this:

Alvis (SSBB version): "I know NOT how things shall proce-"
* proceds down snowy Mount Valak
:ultpit: : "it's GAME OVER for you!
:4palutena: (Smash Ultimate): Nobody can hide from the li-"

Hes finally back performing for you
:ultdk: (Breaking Bad): "OK"

* cue FreakTheFreakOut from Victorious *

NOPE

Not Of Planet Earth

Given the twists that Jordan Peele pulls off. I'm predicting the so-called aliens in this film are actually human descendants from the future having evolved differently.

Ah so less random and more "I'm having a stroke while playing Smash Bros."

Got it.

So you guys stoke for Doctor Strange 2?

Do you think we'll see Tom Cruise Tony Stark as rumored? Will Deadpool make a cameo? Hugh Jackman Wolverine?

To really reclaim sonics glory we need a sonic storybook collection with a new game.

Jank motion controls and all

Thought Sonic 2006 was considered the worst by fans?
Boom happened
Forces was Subpar but I think the bigger issue was that Sonic has been on a ****ty streak and having the high of Mania come down to crashing into the mid that is Sonic Forces burned them out.

And unlike 06 there's nothing to talk about because imo the biggest issue the game had was that it's boring as ****.
Every bad console Sonic game most people know has something to talk about. Example

06: rushed game that at least has perfect glitches and memes to come out of it…also the banger of a soundtrack and Sonic’s evil laugh

Secret Rings: Wii, music, and not being Black Knight

Boom: ****ty rushed game for Wii U, 2 decent games on the 3DS, and the show it was meant to be a prequel to neither acknowledges it nor does it suck…Sonic Boom always be the best Sonic show

Forces: living talks about how much of a letdown Infinite was despite his badass theme song, and ignore the rest of the game before we start dissing Tails

Sonic and the Black Knight, fully remade for the Switch. Have a setting to either keep all the voice dialogue from the og, and a revoiced one with whoever the current cast is (and to explain Sonic’s slow growing feelings for Amy throughout time)

In other news, Jurassic World: Dominion in over a month!

Even if the premise is dumb but who cares. Anything with dinosaurs is a go for me.

Not expecting anything too crazy TBH.

I just think we'll see Spider-Man and Green Goblin Man and Iron Man and Ant-Man and X-Man and Superman and Batman and Deadpool and Wolverine and Green Lantern and Howard the Duck and Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom and Hellboy and Paperboy and Spawn and Electra and Punisher and Daredevil and Jevil and Big Wheel

But again, nothing too crazy

Gonna get to rewatching Jaws 1 and 2 this week. Such classics, especially the first which is a masterpiece.

Thinking of rewatching the Kung Fu Panda trilogy as well. Ain't very often we see perfect trilogies such as that. Loved the first two equally and while the third wasn't as good as them still came close and a great conclusion to end the movies.

After talking with Iris Discord peeps, I wanna add to my last post that Quilt doesn’t look bad: Far from it, it sounds very powerful and promising. It looks very much like the API we were hoping Mojang would make for us back when they promised one.

That said, its origins still concern me. Time will tell, I suppose. If there are legit problems with Fabric, though, then I hope it does well.
Yeah, I hope there’s no more drama or anything. If Quilt is that powerful, though, I’m very interested in trying it. Maybe it will make coding easier, and help me not feel so daunted by advanced stuff :p

Also tbh I don’t really keep up with the drama much myself, I just remember seeing the stuff between the Forge and Sodium devs as well as some complaining about the Fabric dev like I said before (I believe I somehow gathered all this just from browsing my Twitter timeline), but hopefully there won’t be more of that.

Forces was really mid and largely inoffensive, its greatest crime was it was boring.

It just had extremely bad timing coming off of Mania, and as TheMightyP TheMightyP said, Sonic fans were on a cloud 9 at the time: Reviews sites weren't taking jabs, people were legit having fun, for like, two months Sonic wasn't a joke. Forces was cold, harsh reality hitting them like a truck.

Forces dared to be mid, and gaming media slurped it up because "HAHA SANIC BAD FUNNY HA HA REMBER 06 HAHAHA ROCKY TRANSITIONS LOOOOOOOOOOOL GAMEGRUMPS REFERENCE HHAHAHAHHSLHDLAHLKDHNALKSDBN XDDDDDD" is just the easiest, bottom of the barrel content to feed off of because Sonic fans don't know how to ignore blatant bait.

The game also played with Sonic fans' emotions because it was very specifically marketed to make you think it was gonna be Gens 2, but whoopsie poopsie, forgot to mention that we only had like, one guy from that team leftover and we gave the whole team about only a year to pump this one out. And two of the level designers were new to the series. Working with a just recently completed engine. That required ports to ALL modern consoles.

It was a recipe for disaster and proves that time is a flat circle.


It's not even close to the worst Sonic, though. Not even bottom 10, there's far, FAR more deserving of that: Timing plays a majority part in why this game is despised, and honestly? Give it time, 5 years from now, you'll see "Forces was good, actually" crop up because it's Sonic fans, they throw "underrated gem" onto anything and run with it at the drop of a hat.

The Forces is good takes won't actually exist because that requires them to remember something from Forces that isn't Infinite or the Character Creator

The take has to exist in order to bring balance to the Sonic Fandom: Every generation, one must be irrationally hated, one must be adored without question. Right now, Unleashed is the darling and Forces is the literal devil himself, we shall see what things look like when Frontiers arrives.

Plus, if 06 can have a second chance at life thanks to some cool mods and a really dope fangame because "It had potential!", then I predict mods like Sonic Forces Overclocked and Reimagined will help Forces do the same.



TBH though, none of the debates matter when Sonic R still solos every Sonic game, so :drshrug:

I mean I guess my gen should be the "Unleashed is good actually" gen... unless you owned a Wii in which that case you were a "Colors and Adventure 2 were good actially gen"
Nah, from what I've seen, the Wii kids love Black Knight nowadays.

Colors kids were riding high until Forces, Forces for some reason really sparked a hidden rage against Colors that I still do not fully understand. My guess is the fandom's pure, unhinged hatred towards Pontac and Graff.

Ye, I edited it to add Burger King in there.

On Pontac and Graff, the issje was they they overstayed their welcome. Their humor worked for Colors because it was meant as a soft reboot and wanted to appeal to the younger kids. But SEGA saw that as have them in every game and what came of it was wasted potential and recycled unfunny jokes.

What do you mean, "Baldy McNose Hair" is the pinnacle of human writing.

It's even funnier the 300th time!
