I was a master of video games at 5 years old
how do you even perform simple tasks like putting on pants?

Sounds like a lot of dedicated fans here on gaf, including gb fans from what I've seen.

Classic Sega fan, always having to make it a platform thing. Well let me tell you I'm actually an expert on platformers and never understood the point of Sonic being very experienced on the Nintendo (read: proper) school of design. Where is the cape to fly over the levels with? Why am I running to the right for? What does the jump button do?
this is a joke post
Yup.
I had a lot of fun mastering levels in Sonic Advance 3 (the only one I really played) and even exploring with Knuckles but the first two games are a pain after the first zone.
Precise platforms with a floaty character isn't fun. Also, fuck that water area.
But I'm glad people are enjoying the game.

These "how to play Sonic" complaints make me laugh. It reminds me of when Kojima was developing Rising and he mentioned that at one point the entire level could be sliced and diced, he didn't know how to make a tangible game in the sense that not everything should be cut or else you wouldn't have a video game(which was going to happen if it weren't for platinum). I mean, if the whole point is for you to want to get through these levels as fast as possible like skip the entire level from how fast you are then what's the point of making a game or even have sense in it? Go play the countless endless runner games on mobile since it seems more like what you want.
To me, Sonic has always been a mixture of things? It's got a look and style, fantastic soundtrack, memorable levels(give or take) and it's a platformer at heart? like it has a certain flow and rhythm to it all. There isn't anything wrong with stopping, backtracking and doing things that isn't just going from left to right at uncontrollable speeds. So, Sonic has never really been good because of one thing but it's a mixture of things that make the entire whole "good" even though when it comes to platformers, Sonic is the last game I'd think about.
So let me get this straight. We got Sonic Mania, Observer, Pillars of the Earth, Undertale for PS4 and Night Trap all in one fuckin week? what is this week

I hate Aerosmith as well, also Guns N' Roses, AC/DC and every band like them.
Give me Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Black Sabbath any day.

I wish Giant Bomb was quicker posting quick looks for AAA or AA games. For example, Agents of Mayhem. I am sure they got review copies so you think they could release a quick look the day of release...or the next day.

Maybe they care as much as the average consumer?
Nope. only 7-10. Likely didnt bother with MM+B since that would require more work than simply emulating the game if they brought over the SNES version. Also, it's not a numbered MM game and mostly reuses MM8's assets so maybe they didn't want to bother?

ha, probably less. But this happens with the majority of big games.

My power is down and I was in the middle of an Agents of Mayhem mission FML.
I kinda hate how these games are called Telltale style adventure games. Aren't Telltale style adventure games just Heavy Rain style games?
Your power company is trying to tell you something.
Damn I missed most of the Sonic talk, but most people articulated why it doesn't click with me.
Basically, Sonic feels good when you know the levels and can blaze through them. But to get to that point you have to spend a lot of time slowly and methodically exploring the levels, and it just feels like a mediocre platformer then
But imo it doesn't play well when you're not going fast. It doesn't have a rhythm and feels floaty, and then I get the urge to go fast because that's what it feels like the game is designed to do.

Awful opinion. Torn and frayed is awesome
I suppose? But the Telltale definition is probably more common because it often describes more than just mechanics - but also 2D art style, indie developer, prior history of traditional point 'n click games etc.

I feel blessed to be in a Google Fiber city. Even though my apartment is too cheap to have it installed, I still get 300 mbps and it keeps data caps at bay.

If it spares us from more PUBG talk I'll welcome it with open arms.
Wouldn't it be, in theory, the same as Splatoon 2 talk? A bunch of talk after launch but after that just the occasional "yeah I'm still playing it, it's still great, let's move on". At least until until the first raid drops.
Hearrrrd that. At least Destiny has enough to it for the conversation to be more than
"Man, the situations you get in in this game are crazy!"
"Yup, it's, a crazy game. It's a ton of fun."
"I hear vaulting is coming soon"
"It'll never leave early access"

Wrong. There's also the hours of them complaining about how this will just be Destiny 1.5
(Jokes aside, Giant Bomb has never been very good at sustained discussions about a single game over multiple weeks)

They will be right about that haha
Well, they actually enjoyed the Raid in D1. Even after many retries, Jeff said he had a good time. I feel like with all their PUBG sessions lately, D2 streams in coop are gonna be much easier for them to do. Raids are gonna be awesome to watch so I'm excited for them to check it out.

After putting like 300 hours into Mass Effect Andromeda's multiplayer, my co-op friends and I are pretty starved for a new game to play together. Destiny 2 will probably will that role wonderfully, and we'll have the Beta to feel it out first so that's nice.

Please don't take it as a sign that I'd recommend it, or even that I think it's particularly good. It was just a co-op game that came at the right time.
In general I've found it to be supremely disappointing, same as the single-player.
300 hours of disappointment

Can't your friends just play PUBG like normal people?
