As a long time Sonic fan I feel conflicted about this. I want the series to do well, but at the same time, this game is over-rated.
- The story feels incomplete, the final boss was unacceptable in terms of gameplay, who the heck is asking for IKARUGA in their Sonic games?
- The pinball section was one of the worst gameplay sections I've ever played in my entire life, and that's not hyperbole.
- The cyberspace levels clashed with...
I can't and will never force myself to start liking garbage that Ubisoft is peddling to the lowest common denominator. Fortunately, there are 30 years of amazing games to catch up on that my disinterest in modern gaming and their horrible business practices ruining game design these days, does not affect me.
Play Chrono Trigger, Sonic 3 locked-on with Sonic & Knuckles, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Uncharted 2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Metal Gear Solid 3, among co...
The fact that you no longer need to have a camera pointed at you unlike PSVR 1, and PS Move, is such a massive quality of life improvement that can not be overstated.
When Microsoft finally does something praise worthy I'll give them their deserved praise. The Xbox Series controller is a huge improvement over the Xbox 360 controller (barely touched an Xbox One controller so I have no frame of reference for it). Also their accessibility controller is a great idea, and I'm glad they're made it for the small number of people who will use it.
The last time I had any software-based praise for Microsoft was Gears of War 3, which th...
So how do these "next-gen vaginas" compare against "last-gen vaginas?"
We need comparison shots... for science. 🧐🔭
I actually beat Superman 64 on original hardware (no emulator save states), that's enough Superman gaming for me, forever.
It's using a 2015 mobile chipset, and we're approaching the halfway point of 2023. The end damn well better be in sight, doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.
Yes, but did they fix the terrible blur filter making it look far worse than the Sonic CD port on PS3 / X360 / PC (which was developed outside of Sonic Team, and instead by fans)? Because it was borderline unplayable for me because of that.
Switch has never been a home console, it's been a portable (with HDMI output via USB-C) since day one of its release.
Yikes, PS3 / X360 era hardware generation games charging $70? Stuttering framerates and less than 1080p resolution with constant pop-in? Unacceptable.
Atmosphere all the way.
When the Devil calls, don't answer.
Then why can't one third of the posters on N4G tell us this?
Keep going, don't stop now, cancel more Ubi-crap games.
Keep going, shut more live service trash down.
One of those rare intelligent posts on N4G.
Exactly correct. MS is trying their damnest to reshape this industry into their own vision, slowly but surely trying to convince everyone that services are the best thing ever, and ownership is the worst thing ever.
And there are some out there willingly chugging down the Kool-Aide. What a shame!
Lots of good games on that list, so it sucks for 360 owners who refuse to buy into later Xbox console generations, like myself. Piracy is the only true form of game preservation.
You also forgot to mention nearly every big budget game shoehorns in unnecessary EXP grinding, skill trees, and resource collecting to create a need for constant upgrading. The reason why they do this is not to make better playing games, but rather its a business decision planned by executives (not the developers) to increase "player engagement" which translates to: the more often you boot up a game, the more likely you'll waste your money on some micro-trash-action trinket, or ...
Horrible news, fuck cancer!
I first saw her on 24 and she was awesome, well she was awesome in every one of her roles. She will be missed.
Mania was a very good game, had some flaws, but overall enjoyable. However, I don't want Mania 2 if it isn't developed by a competent team. The people who made Sonic Mania are busy working on their own fast-paced 3D platformer, so they are currently unavailable.
You would think with its incredible success and goodwill that it brought towards the series that it so desperately needed, that SEGA executives would have dumped a truck-load of cash at the developer's f...
