Yes, because poor level design and too much damn motion blur to effectively see what you're doing aren't legitimate complaints.

[tornado fang] you.

Sonic Unleashed is the only Sonic game I've ever gotten so frustrated with that I actually returned it to the store--and I still own Shadow The Hedgehog.  There were a few good stages, but 90% of the daytime stages that I was able to actually play through I didn't like--I specify "that I was able to play through," because I never actually managed to get to Eggmanland.  I was like 25 medals short of opening the stage with the boss key for the continent prior to Eggmanland, and I never managed to collect enough of the damn things to open the door.

That's another thing that pissed me off about it.  Yeah, requiring pickups to open stages isn't a new thing by any means, but I think it was poorly executed in Unleashed.  The sudden huge leap in medal numbers required to even progress beyond that point was ridiculous.  Usually when pickups are mandatory they're the entire goddamn point of the game, not something so easilly missed as the medals in Unleashed.
whoa whoa, hold the phone.
Door? Are you talking about the Wii version? The Wii PS2 version is notorious for having you need to actually go out of your way to collect the medals. in the other versions, I never seem to have much trouble getting them. they seem to be in such natural areas that you dont really miss them. (many are in the hub stages themselves)


@ Sato: Well, Shadow's game is more fun, and I prefer his side of the story, plus, he plays kind of what ShTTT COULD have been. (minus the guns) Silver, well, his story is nothing special, but he is fun to play on account of the telekinesis and ability to throw [parasitic bomb] and all that. you can even grab enemies and throw them.
I think in that cas eit boils down to how the issues affect the individual player. I never had a problem with heroes voices, for example.
...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Sonic 06's load times are what killed it's replayability for me. I still haven't given unleashed a fair shake since I got far enough into it to have to collect more day coins to unlock a new stage. The next time I booted the game up I had Lost all of my save data. Haven't really been back yet. I think I will after I finish writing my paper for school.

I might find a flaw here and a problem there, but they really dont detract from my overall fun experience. Like I said before, some people cannot seem to grasp the concept of a flawed game still being fun to play.

Again you manage to contradict yourself.

I never had a problem with heroes voices, for example.

Aside from Tails, I didn't see a problem with the voices either. It's the dialogue, though, that's crap. The teamwork thing is drilled into your head, and looses the cheese the Adventures had. "Look at all those Eggman's robots" always comes to mind. And good acting can't save a bad script.

A flawed game can only be fun if you can manage to work around those flaws.

And that's either impossible (depending on the design of the game and the severity of the flaw), or takes a disturbingly extreme amount of retries and dedication. Certainly not in the normal of the larger demographic that companies are now shooting for (save for maybe spoiled kids who also get whatever prize-laden cereal they want).

The teamwork thing is drilled into your head

"All right guys, lets show this creep the real super power of teamwork!" XD Yeah, there was a little too much teamwork in there. Still, as bad as the script was for some reason I can't help laughing everytime I remember Eggman's line in the Chaotix ending "As soon as I conquer the world...I.WILL.PAY.YOU!"

I liked the whole Sonic/Knuckles interaction, though:

Tails: That must be the drive for that giant cannon.
Sonic:  Hey, let's try firing that thing!
Knux:  Hey, come on now, DON'T DO IT SONIC!

-or-

Knux:  We're not going there, are we?
Sonic: YES WE ARE!

I actually found that whole talking in mid-level thing kind of annoying after a while. It wasn't so bad in Heroes, though some lines were grating, but in Shadow and Sonic 2006, it got annoying.

I GET IT, I HAVE TO DO [[THIS]] TO GET BY. IF I WANTED YOUR HELP I'D HIT A HINT BUBBLE.

I actually found that whole talking in mid-level thing kind of annoying after a while. It wasn't so bad in Heroes, though some lines were grating, but in Shadow and Sonic 2006, it got annoying.
Talking during gameplay was actually one of Heroes' redeeming points to me.  At least for Team Sonic.  The others weren't quite as interesting.

I've not played '06, lacking an appropriate console, but Shadow's voices I didn't mind.  I mean, besides Maria.

"Destroy the artificial Chaoses!"
"WHERE THE F*@#!! ARE THE LAST THREE HIDING?!!"

That said, there's a difference between in-game talking to add to the feel of the game, and in-game talking that is just a character-voiced instruction manual.

They needed a new formula a long time ago.  I honestly think Legends 3 would have accomplished that.  They kept on remaking the same thing, with lower budgets, and now they're acting all confused because they stopped making a profit.

So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.
