the Captain Marvel crossover I've waited for

Finally watched the first two episodes of the second season of Dr. Stone. It certainly has been a while since I last watched it which was back two years ago, but it is great that it is back.

Dr. Stone isn’t exactly my cup of tea but I liked it

I enjoyed the first season as well. The rivalry between Senku and Tsukasa was pretty great; seeing their very different philosophies on life set up for an interesting conflict.

I wish the secondary protagonist, Taiju, got more screentime though. His character has potential but despite a good setup, his character faded into irrelevancy fairly quick. I'm hoping we see more of him in season 2.

I hunger for Smash and/or Pokémon news.

Either will do.

Three episodes in Season 2 and I can definitely say it's far better paced. Season 1's pacing was the main issue I had with the show.

Season 2 is probably my favourite seasonal because of how much up a step up it is. (And look at my sig to see how many I'm watching)

Man this first month of 2021 went by way too quickly. Feels like the 1st was yesterday.

I dunno, it took forever for me.

Too much stuff happened this month.

Arzest being involved with Balan Wonderland explains a lot really.
What a shame.

I only just now looked and realized I have over 500 hours on Gmod.

what is my life

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I uh, finished the Balan Wonderworld Demo.

I have a lot of critiques.

First of all the game seems strangely low budget. Animations for everyone except the main character is incredibly smooth but the moment to moment gameplay suffers because of how stiff he is. And yet the Cinematics are VERY well done. Like top notch stuff you’d expect to see from Square-Enix. So there’s this weird disconnect.

My second, biggest, and last critique is... this game seems like a relic of the past. The platforming is weird and seems very elementary, like something you’d see out of a old 3D platformer for PS1 or N64. The whole foundation of collecting costumes to traverse the world is an interesting concept but some just seem kind of not fleshed out. The dragon one in particular is weird because, since you literally only use 1 button to play and every button does the same thing, you can’t jump. The whole thing feels rather restricting because you can only do certain things and you can only carry 3 costumes at a time but the world is built around using EVERY costume. Something I also noticed is that if you lose a costume in a level by dying there’s no way to get it back without restarting or finishing the level.

All things considered I’m actually disappointed in the game so far. Maybe things will change as I dive deeper into the demo but right now... it just seems dull. Everything besides the cool character designs and shifting scenery is just rather dull sadly.

Edit: Ok so apparently this demo is longer than I thought so I’m not quite done with it. Will update it after I actually finish it lol

Yeah update to this. To say it lightly Reviewers are not going to be friendly to this game. It’s just not very good.

Bit of a shame because the game looked pretty good on paper.... imagine this will probably be another Cyberpunk 2077 situation where the game just need(ed) more time to be fully fleshed out.

No, the games core ideas just don’t work. The game is polished. It’s just bad.

I can't express enough how much of a mistake this feels like. If Ben Schwartz replaces him.... then that's okay I guess. But I just can't picture him having the same range for the character as Roger's voice, as someone who loves him in DuckTales. And if it's someone who's not Ben... I hope he's at least good.

I think Ben would be way more expensive to get, best I could see is a voice match. But yeah I hope the next actor does the character justice

It'll definitely take a while, like all other Sonic voices.

Give him time.

 

[Noipoi]

Whoever the next guy is, I hope he brings his own energy to Sonic.

Ryan Drummond, Jason Griffith, and Roger Craig Smith are all very different voices. And they give the character of Sonic different energies while still staying true to his cocky but hood hearted nature.

Don’t just get a Roger or Ben Schwartz sound-alike.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I can't think of any other reason to replace Roger though. It's to match the movie's version of the character. Almost definitely.

It'll definitely take a while, like all other Sonic voices.

Give him time.

In DuckTales he basically had three modes, screaming, sad, and sarcastic. And there are some lines from Sonic's history that I just can't hear him saying in any of those three voices.

Besides. We shouldn't have to give him time. Roger is already perfect.

He probably needs better voice direction, despite Ducktales being good. Plus, Dewey and Sonic are two different characters. If he is the next Sonic voice actor, he'll improve if he isn't already good.

He aint gonna get that at SEGA let me tell you.

Hey, anything's possible. If Roger can do Sonic well under their voice direction, I don't see how Ben couldn't.

That or they couldn’t afford to keep Roger or his relocation to Idaho made things complicated.

Why’d he have to go and make things so complicated?

If only he listened to Avril...

I mean, people said the same thing about Griffith when Drummond was being replaced. And then the same for Roger when Griffith got canned.

Give it some years. He'll be fine

Staph it.

I don't know. I just think he sounds a little too... childish. Like... Sonic's clearly like... a 20 something. But Ben Schwartz's Sonic voice in the movie sounded very... twelve. And in the movie he was very young. He was Classic Sonic, in a way. But in the games? Just try to hear the voice from the movie saying some of the dialogue from Sonic Colors or Sonic Generations or even the Adventure games. Doesn't it sound... off?

I think SnakeFighter is not going to do that for whatever reason. Just saying.

Sonic’s 16, dude.

 

[TheMightyP]

No, Sonic's a hedgehog

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Dude. No. If he's 16 then they have done a terrible job getting that across in the writing.

Next thing you're gonna tell me is that Mario is 16.

Sonic is 15, or 16. Still, you might as well give him time if he is Sonic's new voice. It's not like his voice acting is too limited for Sonic, anyway.

Believe me, Ben Schwartz can Dewey it!.....Yeah, I see the door to my left.

 

[Noipoi]

Dude. No.

Actually you’re right.

He’s 15.

 

[Wademan94]

I’m still not convinced they’re getting Schwartz. He’d be more expensive than RCS was.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Actually you’re right.

That's.... wow. That's even ****ing worse. He does not act like one at all.
