Thanks Noi! It was awesome playing it alongside you.
Did I also mention that the game is beautiful? And that the soundtrack is good?
Why didn't I play this before?
Everything about it topped everything that came before it. I'm so glad I downloaded the DLC ending. It was amazing. Far better than I had imagined that it would be. The final boss arena was more than enough for me. I'm very pleased with how that turned out. I'm so glad with how everything turned out. Final DLC is very worth it.

AW is the tip of the spear in my campaign for recognizing interactive fiction as totally valid way to experience video games.
The best parts of that game are the narrative ones.

I never played the DLC...I was pissed they put the real ending behind a pay wall
The story was pretty interesting and the action crazy, but I could never shake the feeling of "why don't they just make an anime if the gameplay was gonna be this limited" All those repetitive rail shooter segments...

It did have my favorite line of dialog that perfectly summed up the hubris and tragedy at the core of the game and its gods
"When you live amongst the stars, you lose sight of what's happening on the ground"
"When you live amongst the stars, you lose sight of what's happening on the ground"
That's what DLC should be. Comprehensive and a true addition to the experience.
Costumes, skins, and weaponry can stick it.
Yessssssssss
My god, the themes are soooooo good. And this is the grooviest version of this song I've ever heard

Yesssss, the music is great. Quite fond of the Yasha stuff, tbh.
I love this game.
Oh, that Wiki should be really neat! Lookin' forward to it.
Yeah, I'm normally not too fond of this sort of game design but after Asura's Wrath and Time Travelers, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more of this sort of thing in video games. This is how interactive fiction should be done. It's incredibly engrossing, really. The narrative bits are my favourites too.
I love this game.

Have you played 999/VLR yet, Schala?
It's amusing to think of now, but I think Asura's Wrath serves as a perfect counterpoint for for the recent threads spawned by Bioshock's dissonance between narrative and gameplay. A game that didn't have to be a shooter to push forward it's narrative.
Of course, AW didn't sell that well while Bioshock will likely rake in all the money.

Too bad I can't really play Bioshock because it's in first person. :/
I'm not sure if I could categorize AW and TT in the same category as both of those games despite 999 using the DS to its advantage for storytelling purposes. Did VLR have that? I can't recall if it did...
For some reason, I feel more comfortable separating the games in different categories (ex: VLR/999 in the VN/puzzler category as opposed to AW/TT/Heavy Rain, etc. in the interactive fiction category). Though perhaps it's very silly to keep them separated at all since they mostly serve similar purposes with respect to storytelling in a video game.
Yes, I did.

Man, after Other M I don't think we're gonna see another new Metroid for a good while.

I'm a fan of Asura's Wrath but I do agree on that last bit to an extent, it's a good game that could've been great if they fleshed out the fighting system a bit more, towards the back end when enemy segments start getting a bit long in the tooth I begin staring at that burst bar intently hoping it will fill up faster, and yes most rail shooting segments blow chunks.

I still say Asura's Wrath should've gotten a digital release at least in the West:
$45 for the Season Pass; get all eps.
$15 for Chapter 1, 2 and 3, then $10 for the extra chapters
I'm hoping EU PSN will have the DLC on sale soon.
Oh and Asura's Wrath DLC aren't 'disc lock' type since the size of each story DLC is like 1 GB on PSN @_@.

^'RIP in peace' is among the dumbest shit I've read on GAF.
I played a little of it, but it doesn't seem that bad.

Sonic Dash basically exemplifies my experience with iOS gaming. They either give you for free or cheaply sell you a nothing game then hammer you with worthless items that you can purchase for absurd amounts of real money. The whole thing is a completely empty experience.

@Box of Bunnies-
Go grab Rayman Jungle Run and some iOS games made by some GAFfers.
EDIT: AND GET SILENT AGE (it's free IIRC).
How the heck was I supposed to know they mean 'Rest in pieces' in the first place?

I love unleashed soft focus stuff, in a way it is a shame that generations took a step back with it's filters.

Oh, yes. My 3 in March got destroyed by Asura's Wrath yesterday, but I had neglected to mention that. So, for me, that's:
Too bad SE's offerings are super-light, Capcom's offerings are flippin' terrible, and Sonic Jump/Dash seem to be as inventive and fun as John Cena's rapping career.
- Time Travelers (Vita)
- Asura's Wrath (PS3)
- Super Mario 64 (N64/VC)
Have we ever been wrong?
Ah, I see that Sega's taking pointers from Square Enix and Capcom. How intelligent. Shrewd, even.

What else would need to be said?
The focused specularity of Unleashed is better (the edges of some objects look very nice), and the DOF/Sonic's shading looks great. However, there's quite a drop in the overall "bumpiness" of most of the stuff, you can see the shading is very simplified on that aspect when compared to the one in Generations.
I have tried and tried to get the specularity looking like that in Generations, but no success. If I ever manage to do it, we would have the best of both worlds. (FxPipeline already does the bloom and better motion blur like Unleashed does, so that's a start)
Why are you taking this so serious
How is this joke going over your head

Nah, Season 3 of Pony caused a lot of broken base (not 100% sure why, seemed okay except for that finale), so that combined with the fanbase's presence in pretty much everything everywhere would lead to a compelling argument for worst.
What's Sonic done awfully, lately? Sonic Dash? Other than that you just have awful fanart and stuff, and the other fanbases have just as much.
yo man why is April's challenge only 2 games?
What's your opinion on it right now? Curious!

For one, I find the exploration part of the game is a bit more fun now. I keep coming across really cool parts of the level like in Stardust Speedway. The levels really do look pretty good at times and I really enjoy some of the look to them a bit more. The JP soundtrack, I kept it on for most of the time and found I loved more of the JP tracks to the American one but they're still both good. Still not a fan of the special stages though...=/
I think it is kinda close to the Genesis games in terms of quality but I'd have to think it over just a tad more.
