Guys. I want news for a Sonic game already. It's a shitty drought. It's more than likely because Sonic 4: Episode 2 didn't quell our desire for a bigger Sonic game.
EDIT:
Sciz... perhaps I'm getting old, but uh... *shifts around* IthinkI'mstartingtoliketheSA1soundtrackalittlemorethantheSA2soundtrack... okthanks.
I'm thinking of replaying Megaman ZX because of reasons unknown to myself. Perhaps it's because I haven't played it in
years? I wonder if my opinion of it will increase or decrease should I take the chance to replay it whenever I find the time. I remember back in 2011 I bought the MMZero Collection and played the crap outta it before (read: during, because my prof was reading out of the book verbatim) one of my differential maths classes. It was some nice stuff. I think I came out of that liking the Zero games more than I had previously.
And as for the weekend: I'll be working on trying to get a project done and I'm going to study. Might squeeze in some DmC if I don't get annoyed with it.
It's not just odd, it's somewhere between greedy (who cares if you already bought the game? We'll nickel-and-dime you to death anyway!) and stupid (if they wanted to maximize profits on the whole nickel-and-diming thing, surely making the game free would've broadened the base considerably?).
Oh hey, another one of those drug ads.
So uh... do we need to stage an intervention for you, Shadow Hog? Because I'd hope not.
Regardless, they likely (and perhaps rightfully) figured that people would buy it on brand name alone. If people spend money to get more stuff to make the game easier, it's their prerogative, but it's a stupid thing to do (ie: likely do what freemium games do: make it harder to get new powerups or acquire more XP so that it takes a long time to do so). I don't like the idea of paying first and then charging you for secondary content that you can find in-game just because acquiring said content takes a long time to get yourself.
I'm stating the obvious, but it's seedy game design and it doesn't seem like anyone gives a shit about saying something about it. It's disgraceful.
I guess... however I think Fate/Zero isn't just a good anime but a great show. While I think the barrier of entry due to it being an anime is still there but it's not hard to appreciate what F/Z does both visually and narratively.
I'm sure people could appreciate it for what it is given the quality of the content and presentation, but given my past experiences with discussing anime in the past SonicGAF threads, the topic simply gets dropped rather quickly due to: a) general disinterest, b) people not having time to invest in multiple anime series in general, and c) most of that discussion is done in AnimeGAF regardless.
Plus when we
do discuss anime in this thread, it's usually limited to those three anime sources I've already discussed (one of which had Ufotable do the CG for lord knows why).
Speaking of which, my last Sonic X post in the last thread was
this, wasn't it? I never got to talk about
Chucklin' Knuckles.
So i'm sending a message specifically to Sonic Gaf then eh?
Hey guys, some of you enjoy the stories in Sonic Adventure games rigth? this stomps the hell out of them and i'm not even quarter of the way through....okay, that doesn't say much for anything really, I could pen a better story for SA myself.
How can you send a message to me when I've already watched it? :O
And way to defeat your argument in the latter bit, eh Nocturnowl? If you hadn't included the latter portion, I would've made fun of you for not saying the SA games' narratives weren't that great. Please don't pen a story for SA yourself. I've read some cringeworthy (read: stuff that made me laugh a lot) stuff this week and I don't want to read more of anything like it. Thanks.
