I'm just now learning about Dream and the cheating scandal.
I found out about him when Glow Squid won the mob vote and everyone freaked out about it and blamed him.
HivemindI told myself that I'd play some more Age of Calamity but I booted up Final Fantasy 7 instead.
This game just gives me an extremely cozy feeling. Absolutely love it.
Welcome to how I feel about them adding Ed Edd n Eddy.
Gamers it is time for me to do another gamer hypothetical roster for gamers. Dis time it's Sega All-Stars Racing 3
-Transformations are returning
-However, I consider the driving in ASR1 so ****ing fun that I'd like the car sections this time around to feel closer to that than what we got in Transformed
-Sega Miles are returning because, in all honesty, I absolutely hate how in Transformed you have to get stars in World Tour to unlock the characters, to the point that in some of the later unlocks you have to pull off some crazy **** to get them when I prefer ASR1's much simpler approach of "if you got enough monies from just playing the damn game, you can get whoever you want right away"
-The Sega shop is also returning as a result, this time entailing characters, music tracks, and stickers you can slap on your vehicle ala CTR:NF that can serve as additional cool references to Sega's history
-Get Takenobu Mitsuyoshi (aka the DAYTONAAAAAAAAAA guy/Sega Rally guy/Sonic Mania Time Attack guy/F-Zero Medley guy/etc) as the announcer. The JP version of Transformed did that and I think it's a genius idea, a wonderful callback to Sega's classic arcade racer library
-The new flagman is Professor Asobin. An extremely obscure grab, I know, but he gets by on account of being a potential contender for the title of Sega's very first characterOk so this time around we're doing 44 characters:
-30 veterans
-3 newcomers from already-represented franchises
-8 new IP reps
-1 super duper secret character
-2 brand-new guest characters
Let's get right onto the veterans:
1. Sonic
2. Tails
3. Knuckles
4. Amy
5. Big
6. Shadow
7. Metal Sonic
8. Eggman
9. AiAi
10. MeeMee
11. Billy Hatcher
12. Amigo
13. Beat
14. Gum
15. Ulala
16. Pudding
17. NiGHTS
18. Reala
19. B. D. Joe
20. Ryo
21. Zobio and Zobiko
22. Akira and Jacky
23. ChuChus
24. Bonanza Bros.
25. Alex Kidd
26. Opa-Opa
27. Gillius
28. Vyse
29. Joe Musashi
30. AGES
Let's look at the new additional series reps real quick:
31. Amiga from Samba de Amigo
32. Rolly from Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
33. G from House of the Dead
Amiga and Rolly are mainly just here to flesh out the subset of "secondary characters for the mainstay franchises" that MeeMee, Gum, Reala and Pudding find themselves in, nothing too special. G is more interesting though, as his inclusion provides representation for the mainline HotD games.
Let's look at the more exciting and detailed part here: the new series reps. First of all, I wanted to represent a wide variety of subsets of Sega IPs. I didn't want to have just modern franchises, or just cult classic Saturn-era JRPGs, or just EXTRA 90'S Western-appeal Mega Drive characters. Also worth noting is that there's more than one way to divvy up these 8 in half. First off, just for fun, I gave them an equal gender ratio. Second, and much more substantially, these can be divided in 2 categories: the "obvious picks", and the "niche picks". Let's go through them on a scale of decreasing obvious-ness:
34. Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza
-This would definitely happen IMO. Yakuza is, like, Sega's biggest in-house IP that hasn't yet been represented. The last potential barrier I could think of, the "M-rated" deal, has since been broken down by an interview that happened this year, where the All-Stars games' exec. producer basically went "yeah we had him on the list for potential inclusions, he could have totally made it in". Final note, make his car a full-sized Golden Tiger. Seriously, please do.
35. Joker from Persona 5
This is another in-your-face super obvious one. Yada yada yada, Persona 5 ****ing blew up, Joker is practically the new poster boy of Atlus who's Sega's subsidiary, yada yada, you've heard it all. His vehicle is also pretty easy to figure out, being the Morgana Bus. Basically, you know why he's here, you know what he'd be like, moving on:
36. Arle from Puyo Puyo
Not only is Puyo pretty damn big as well, it's also worth noting that it actually has had representation in the Sega Superstars games in the past......in the ones before All-Stars Racing. Also, the JP version of Transformed actually reskinned one of the items into a Puyo, so that's something too.
37. Sakura Shinguji from Sakura Wars
Same deal as the others, Sakura Wars is pretty friggin' huge, it'd be weird to continue to leave it out at this point, I dunno man, I don't know my Sakura Wars very well, I don't got much to say
Moving onto the "niche picks"
38. Ristar
We're kinda lacking in a more Western-appealing character so far, and although Ristar was created by a Japanese division of Sega, he's just that beloved in the western hardcore Sega community to the point where I think he'd easily fit in as a Western-appeal pick anyway. Plus, from going on old forums and ****, he was like the number one request for these games to have not made it in yet, so uh. Yeah. I think it's time to finally give him a shot
39. Orta from Panzer Dragoon
Panzer Dragoon's gotten a track already, I just like Orta and think it'd be nice to have PD take the next step in representation
40. Nei from Phantasy Star 2
OK so why is a Phantasy Star rep the penultimate least obvious pick when, all things considered, it's a pretty big series? First off, it's Phantasy Star Online that's so big, and we're going with a character from the classic games. Second, it's not even the pick that usually comes to mind when thinking of the classic games. Usually it's Alis, which yeah, she's a totally valid pick as well, but Nei sprung about when I heard she was considered for ASR1. Curious, I looked her up, I really dug her design, and here we are
41. Temjin from Virtual-ON
In the midst of all this mumbo jumbo about who are the biggest fish left, who appeals to which region, who's gotten smaller representation in these games in the past, Temjin is, quite simply, the fun pick. Virtual-ON is pretty big in Japan, apparently, and it's a notable cult favorite everywhere else, and those are factors too, but above all else, I just picked him because he's cool. Because of how fun it'd be to have this flippin' mecha driving around with everything else. He's that completely off-the-wall niche-ass pick that gets the hardcore fans popping off, and all those things just make him someone I would absolutely want to include
Ok, now here's the super secret character: and you've probably figured it out by now.
42. Segata Sanshiro
It's mother****ing Segata Sanshiro. He needs to introduction or explanation.
Now for the guests, and unlike in past titles, they won't just get picked all willy-nilly: I still want characters with a strong enough connection to Sega that they'd still make sense in a Sega All-Stars game:
43. Hatsune Miku
Yeah, you heard me right.
I was super hesitant on Miku at first, even knowing that she placed super high in an official Transformed DLC poll. What finally tipped me over in her favor was basically the exact same deal with Kiryu: John Sumodigitalman having said the exact same thing about her in the exact same interview. So **** it, she'd be funny as hell while still having strong connections to Sega. It's a win-win!
44. ToeJam and Earl
It's one thing to have strong connections to Sega, but still being your own thing. It's another thing to be so strongly associated with Sega that you're frequently mistaken for actually being owned by them. With that in mind, and considering that they'd also act as a big Mega Drive Western-appeal character along with Ristar....yeah, put 'em in.The tracks are interesting this time. Because we had some of the basic locations covered in ASR1, and Transformed had a much wider range and also the transformations, which meant it had to cover each series' basic locations all over again. But now that there's not much of a change with the way tracks are being handled, we can go crazy with some of the other locations in these IP, mixing and matching enviroments and such

I love how much effort went to this, not just to the roster but also to track selection. Notably, you didn't leave modern SEGA games out like most would which is admirable.Gamers it is time for me to do another gamer hypothetical roster for gamers. Dis time it's Sega All-Stars Racing 3

Unless it’s TF2. Other than that, I can’t find a reasonable argument.
If you're not using a keyboard or voice chat don't even bother playing tbh.
the greatest Batman show of all time, with the closest to touching such greatness being Harley Quinn. Without that show, a lot of important things within the Batman lore would have never been placed into the comics...also it ****ing rocks
I used to watch Batman TAS all the time. It was really good.
That's not the only FPS a mouse is better in. It's all of them except really old ones like Wolfenstein 3D.
It involves 3/4 of your left hand's home row keys.
Better than the ****ing:
Yeah but you can just skip those.
Really nice choices overall and It is nice to see transformations back.Gamers it is time for me to do another gamer hypothetical roster for gamers. Dis time it's Sega All-Stars Racing 3
