...I've been playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf for a month.

I have been writing something up for a while to express what I think of the game so far. Might surprise some of you, I suppose.

That was the mystery game I've been hinting at for a while in the Whatcha Been Playin' thread.

 

[PKrockin]

I just did City Escape in Sonic Generations and I would be a liar if I said that that level is not one of my favorite levels in any platformer ever. And that I am not cool enough to deny that its partially cuz of that song.

Such an awesome level. Almost makes me want to know if the SA version was any good.

SPOILERS: I have never played Sonic Adventure 1 and it has been YEARS since I fumbled through SA2.

Act 1, Act 2, or both? I like Act 2 a lot but half the level is just running from the truck, and while the new rockets and buzzsaws it got for Generations are pretty cool the first time, it gets old on replays.

As for the SA2 version I'd say it's one of the highlights. I have way too much nostalgia for it than is healthy though.

SA2 version is great.

Generations' Act 2 version is basically that but extended and much crazier with the chase.

I beat The Last of Us earlier so we can have us a week of write ups.
I still need to whip up something for Pikmin 3 as well.

For some reason I just thought that with your previous hinting at a write up, the reveal of what the game is here and eventually the actual write up itself is very much like the announcement of announcement stuff this industry is so fond of,

Spoiler

oh man, it actually works, I've been awaiting a mystery tome!

 

[CorvoSol]

I just hope we're not talking about modern City Escape here, that was like the weakest modern stage in the game.
Classic is perfectly legit however.

Both, really, but mostly the Classic section. It just kinda feels like pure, plain, and simple fun.

I been playing ACNL, too! Basically I'm still up to my ears in debt to Nook and I can never get my hands on the sets I want in that game. Mermaid set is going to take forever to get.

Classic Act, but I really enjoy both.

SA2 version is great.

Are the SA games worth playing in this day and age? I haven't honestly played many Modern Sonic games. Just Rush, and Colors DS.

I can assure you that it is about two pages in Word at the moment. I have many things to say about it. Probably might not post it tonight because I am feeling kind of tired.

Who knows, I might post it tonight (perhaps when you go to sleep since I know it's late there) if I actually get off my butt and continue writing it.

I'm surprised that the guess I got in that thread was a VN because I'd said: "On that note, I've been spending an extraordinary amount of time with a mystery game. I haven't revealed the nature of said mystery game to many people yet because it's not something I'd usually play." And I'd posted about VNs in that thread before. >.>

They're both still fun, but really flawed IMHO. SA1 suffers from a really unstable engine while SA2 suffers from questionable design decisions. But they're still really worth checking out. Despite the weaker engine, I prefer SA1 over 2.

Whatever you do, AVOID the Steam rerelease of SADX. It's shit. It even lags on my comp that can run Sonic Generations at 60fps just fine. SA2's steam release is fine I heard though.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Play SA2, experience We at Pumpkin Hill yo and experience a blown mind.

 

[qq more]

I can't decide if I like SA1'S Unknown from M.E. or SA2's Pumpkin Hill more

 

[Regiruler]

That reminds me that I actually need to finish generations. Not sure whether to do it on my PC version where I'm not even a 3rd through or my PS3 version which I can't be bothered to turn on.

I like Wild Canyon and Meteor Herd better than both. But I do love them dearly.

The aquatic mine is the best one.

The two quoted are 2nd and 3rd places.

Also rouge's songs are all dope.

PC version for that 60fps!

You guys should Dive into the mellow instead.

Righto, it's not that I think the modern stage is outright bad or anything, it's decent but it clings far too much to the format of the original SA2 stage only extending the less playable sections (board and truck chase which are more flash than substance) and being incredibly light on platforming in between these sections as well as overly linear.

Well maybe it'll be my morning reading because it is indeed late here, but there's no need to rush. I haven't really said much about New Leaf myself but I figure that's because I just don't have much to really say about it.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Owl played TLOU?

tell me you liked it or else

 

[qq more]

TLOU sucked


worstr game everrrrrrr

 

[Village]

I personally thought that while the story was engaging , the non story parts were just, bleh. It was really stealthy weighty uncharted. It just made me want to get to the cutscenes, so I could stop the madness.

Well, maybe it is just that I haven't played the SA2 levels in ages and all I really remember is that Shadow was awesome and that playing as Dr. Robotnik and Tails was horrible, or maybe it is just that my last Sonic experience was playing through Sonic 2006 where the board literally did not work, but I don't know, it was pretty, it was fun, it wasn't ball bustingly difficult, and the music was catchy.

It's just that, outside of Sonic Rush and Colors DS, its been years since I've played a good Sonic game, let alone had a ton of fun playing one. Generations is just such a good game for me. It sort of feels like its washing away all the bad that Sonic 2k6 did to me.

 

[Village]

You're alright Village.

Its Jazz and Jazzy rap, those who hate lost their souls a long time ago.

 

[GAMERG0D]

I like the whole OST.

 

[DeVeAn]

Sonic Archives is the main full-color reprint line starting from #1. Sonic Saga is equivalent, but starts from #162 since Archives is still years away from getting that far. Sonic Selects reprints the various special issues that they used to do back in the day. Sonic Legacy is a cheaper black and white trade paperback line that also starts from the beginning, but contains four times as many issues per volume as the others.

I see thanks. So for going digital what's the best way? Should I go singles or wait out archives?

crap you aren't kidding. I do not usually read you tube comments, I missed this gold.

Well, the precedent behind the thing I've been working on for a few days is that I never had an incentive to play the game before. I have a few things to note and I'd like to write it in a cohesive post.

With that said, I'm way too tired to actually think and form cohesive sentences at the moment, so maybe late tomorrow/Friday it'll go up. It's best that I go to bed anyway since I have to be up super-early.

Archives if they're available, but the release pace is glacial so don't hold your breath waiting. There isn't much overlap between what's available individually and in collected volumes anyway.

I just woke up and had no idea what you were talking about. I wish I still didn't.

That announcement might honestly be the trigger for me to start boycotting Capcom. FUCK Capcom.

After Ultra comes out if the next street fighter goes FTP but the greedy capcom version. Then I wil be in the screw capcom camp too.

All the franchises I buy from them are either dead or fighting games.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Capcom...yes I remember them once upon a time...

 

[Hot Coldman]

Did they actually give any details about what kind of game it'd be? Because I see no reason why a new BoF automatically sucks just because it's on tablets.

likely social stuff

What does that mean exactly?

Being a browser game gives the tears more context, I'll say that much. And the art does seem a bit generic.

Let me put it this way. This is what Capcom calls an Onimusha game. BoF6 falls under the same "house" of browser games.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Onimusha... whaaaaat...

This is weird. The good news is, it's the beginning of Capcom just exiting the console game business all together, which is probably good news, because they're full of unworthy hacks now.
