See I would play this one but I don't know if PS3/360 emulation even works

Say, isn’t Sonic Unleashed buyable on the PSN or Xbox Live on the latest systems? Maybe you can buy it there.

I only have a PC and a Switch. I don't plan on buying any other console until the Switch 2

Oh, okay then. Understood.

 

[Jondolio]

Also I got Sonic Superstars. The digital deluxe version is on sale right now so I was able to get it for 45 Canadian dollars (my Nintendo account is Canadian)

Iirc it's only legally available on XBox.

Since you know... Sega does severe damage control and removes all games with a below 60 Metacritic score.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

don't really see myself finishing Adventure 2. I would basically have to start all over since I haven't touched the game in years

You say this like it's bad thing. Like, oh no, gotta go through City Escape, Metal Harbor, Security Hall and Cosmic Wall again, oh nooooooo...

my most vivid memory of it being the spike pit in the penultimate level

If that bothers you then you should probably ignore the other Advance games, 3's got some real ****y level design and 2 has a boss that just OHKOs you and I simply do not accept that idea

Which is bull**** by the way.

Unleashed isn’t a perfect game, but it deserves way better than the score it got. Unfortunately we were still two years out from 06 and it was peak “**** on Sonic” hours, so everyone just goofed on the werehog and left it at that.

With that GameSpot slip up and Pyoro talking again, I strongly believe Tuesday is our Direct day.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I'm not sure I'll play every game I got recommended but to recap:

Adventure 2
Heroes
Rush
Rush Adventure
Unleashed
Black Knight
Colors
Superstars

I should really into the IDW comics though, I have the first three volumes and I've only read the first

Ooooh the IDW stuff is pretty damn good, I'd say it peaks early on but the first major story arc caters to me specifically so, I can't think of any bad OCs in the comics and I'd love to see them in the games more. Rip Freedom Fighters I guess but Tangle, Whisper, Starline, Surge and Kit? Amazing

As a Sonic Comic aficionado (reason #500 why I'm single) I can say that the IDW comics are pretty damn good.

...But they do feel a bit restrained at times. SEGA mandates dictating what characters can and can't do definitely makes it feel a tiny bit subdued. And the fact that the comics are canon, meaning they can never have events that go beyond the game series, can throw the pacing off. But when the comic is firing on all cylinders it goes crazy hard, the action's great, the new characters are fun, and it's just a rad comic.

Maybe not, but everyone deserves a father with a theme as kickass and catchy as this:

 

[Jondolio]

Also in case you're wondering why I consider myself a big Sonic fan even though I haven't played that many of the games, it's cause Sonic X was one of my childhood shows. I wasn't allowed to watch it much but it really stuck with me, and years later it led me down a rabbit hole that probably wasn't good for me at the long run but now that I'm past my cringe era I can look at this stupid franchise and say with confidence that I love it more than some members of my family

I only recommend Black Knight if you want to try a storybook game. If you don't care, don't bother.

Anyone know how to get the walrus guy to restock his inventory in the Rogueport area? I still need a couple badges of his.

 

[Z25]

I’ve been watching Kaiju No 8 and it’s been really good. Love the story and show. Gives me attack on Titan/One punch man vibes.

I can’t get over how much the main character sounds like Eddy from Ed Edd and Eddy lmao

I looked it up earlier. Odd. I thought the game was running well or even improved in some areas of itself. On PlayStation Now.

Every time you leave the city and come back, his wares change. So take the pipe to a different area and come back, and his inventory will be refreshed

Yeah.

Anyways I hope Arven's having a good Father's Day, hope he's spending some time with his dad.

I'd also highly recommend Sonic Lost World if you'd like to try a Sonic game with a different formula from the normal stuff. It's got some really interesting level design, beautiful artwork, excellent music and you've heard me defend the Deadly Six a lot by now lol

Probably not gonna play it but I respect the dedication to the things you love

Peony should be Arvens dad

When it comes to Sonic games, I think there's two games that everyone has to try, and that's Sonic 3&K and Adventure 2. Imo, both are the two most important games of the franchise in terms of the future and the tone it set for the rest of the games.

With that said, Adventure 2 isn't a top 5 Sonic game imo. But still, I say every Sonic fan should at least beat the game.

 

[Jondolio]

I might also replay the og genesis games, haven't played them in years. Gonna wait for when Origins plus is on sale

 

[Lamperouge]

Every Sonic fan owes to it to themselves to play Sonic Labyrinth tbh

Such a fake fan, Sonic Jam on the Game.com is a better game.

 

[Jondolio]

Real ones play Sonic Ultimate Flash

Society needs to stop being afraid of the Trackball and play Segasonic The Hedgehog

(also the game is bad)

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Don't you fools know of the TRUEST masterpiece of our generation?

If I had a nickel for every time I heard about the trackball in Segasonic the Hedgehog today I'd have 3 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened thrice

The final level is genuine bs, Sega really want to guzzle the quarters. Never beat the game despite the many attempts I did.

Jokes on Sega though, the arcade that carried this was one lf those where it was a one time fee. Shoutouts to the largest arcade in the world for the best bang for your buck.

I'm a generous guy, so take one more.

The trackball sucks.

 

[Jondolio]

So apparently my steam account that has Sonic Adventure 2 is the one I'm currently using. Guess I have no excuse, I'll play it once I beat Frontiers.

Also Colors Ultimate and Origins Plus are now on my wishlist, I know those are flawed versions of these games but I'm the type of gal who pays extra for bad effort ports because I'm lazy

Can't believe SMT pulled a "Jigglypuff seen from above"

Tbf the Werehog did suck but it was Sega's call to delist all the games.

Now if you ask me they should put them back, it's been about two decades but you know they won't

Friendly reminder that this is the game that inspired Baldi's Basics.

Me after watching the Neighbors 2 dogs for 30 minutes (one jumped on me and nicked my wrist with a nail and gave me a small cut)

It’s foolproof

 

[KillerCage]

No I have not. I've been also wanting to get around to watching the original Ultraman which I got the complete series of but haven't gotten around to it yet since I'm busy with other movies and shows I'm watching.

Is seeing the original series to get an idea of the movie required?

I got some general references (via pop culture osmosis), but otherwise I went in blind and had no problems understanding it as I think it was made for newcomers in mind.
I actually think it's a decent Father's Day movie.
