Sonic Unleashed

[STM]

is it a stellar game? so far, i don't think so. i think its a decent game based on the amount i've played (just beat the Egg Beetle). the problem here is that people are letting hype and expectations rule their opinions. you have to have a little more open mind with this game. honestly, if you're expecting to go fast in the Werehog stages, you shouldn't be playing the game at all.

Which is actually a little funny, since some (hot dog) missions do require you to speed run the Werehog levels. That's where you pick up a lot of the skills in the levels. However, generally, rushing isn't smiled upon with the werehog since you get tons of points from just pummeling the snot out of everything. A good balance of the two lead to massive point boosts.

I didn't really care about the homing attack changing buttons. It's like the people who absolutely cried foul because Mega Man Anniversary Collection had a weird button set up. Suck it up, you pansies. I swear, if a texture looks a hair bit off, we get some nutjob swearing up a storm on how crap the game is, unappreciative bastards.

I'm done trying to argue this is an awful game, because it is.

This is just one of those arguments (like politics) where ain't nobody going to listen.

well, in any case, everyone is entitled to their opinion. no ones putting a gun to your head and saying LIKE THE GAME!, we just try to persuade you to our view. in short, yeah. its EXACTLY like politics.

So... somebody is listening?

You're not going to convince many people this is an awful game when it seems a fair consensus find it to be rather fun and enjoyable. However, I did laugh out loud when you said "I expect better for Sonic!" Thanks for that. I look forward to seeing your new username from this little tantrum.

*dumps ice on STM as well*
you chill out too. >_>

"I expect better for Sonic!"

this is rather funny. anyone who expected a spectacular Sonic game was only fooling themselves. its like actually believing John McCain could have won the presidency.

.. If he ever did, he'd then lose it by publicly saying, "Yippie-kai-yay, motherfuckers."

Again, I truly find it amazing that people are complaining about Sonic moving TOO fast.  I really find that hilarious.

[Pringer X]

So far the only real thing I've found insanely annoying are the controls for the Werehog when it comes to climbing things. It took me forever to figure out how to jump from a pole, even though I should've just hit the jump button (instead, I have to hit, hold, and let go twice). That caused me to die an easy 20 times, because of the damn fact that the ice thing I was one would fall off. Another thing is the controls on just any pole, you move too far and can't really adjust where you move to, so if you don't latch on at a certain direction, you're forced to jump to the side and pray that you can grab the next pole (and it starts to get REALLY frustrating when the poles either collapse after a certain period of time, or there's a pit of death below you). That, and the camera's view at points cause massive moments of major pissed off action (enough to warrant points down from me), but overall the game is still good.

This topic just took a turn for the awesome. [/eats popcorn]

Double tapping A works just fine for me. I've never really had much trouble with pole jumping, aside from the odd moments where the lock on cursor doesn't appear. This seems to happen a bit on the last swing pole in Rooftop Run Night Act 1.

I dunno, I just hate games that have some kind of odd control thing about them. I 2x+ tapped the button, but it seems as if I have to hold it down. Aside from that and the camera view whenever there are projectiles coming my way, there isn't a whole lot else that I can say is bad.

Hey now, if we don't complain, they'll never get better.  These big video game companies have huge teams of people and millions of dollars to work with; why shouldn't we expect a perfectly refined game experience out of them?  I refuse to just "suck things up".

If we complain, we put pressure on them, which makes it harder to make a better game when they're trying to live up to our unknown expectations, which in turn could result in another Sonic '06.

You assume they actually listen to the consumer sometimes.

In this case, Capcom is one of the nice companies that do, which is all well and good. Others think the consumer is full of [parasitic bomb].

is Want Some Chocolate a meme yet?

Funny thing, that. A lot of consumers just want to find a reason to [sonic slicer]. I mean, let's take FF8 for example. It was almost completely made with consumer ideas in mind, yet a lot of people still didn't like it. Sometimes, when people just want to nitpick, they'll find something to nitpick about, no matter how obscene it is. Sad, that.

It happens to all of us.  Hell, I mean look at me.  The SOLE reason I don't play X7 is based off of my silly stubborn principle that the Main Character of his own Series has to be Unlocked.  LoL, I mean from what I hear I haven't missed much, but my reasoning is still pretty stupid!  However, I still hold true to my stubbornness regarding that game!

I didn't like it either, but at least his charge shot sort of made up for it... but not really. Didn't help that the gameplay itself was screwy.

You're not missing out on much. I still have some mental trauma from the amount of anger and pain X7 brought upon me.  (GODDAMN HOSTAGES, STOP DYING RAGAHAJFHFGADGALOHAA!!!)

Actually, when Lou told me that once you get the Charge Shot, it makes going through the gamer a lot easier, that actually pissed me off more.  I still do like my challenge to a game.
