Mountain Zone and Blue Sky are pretty cool.
It's because you know I'm female anyway? People tend to mistake me for a guy because of the avatar alone. Also, Japanese character, etc.
This is less ambiguous:

Well... Tir... can be... pretty...I guess?
Darn, now I'm wishing Suikoden had a cross-dressing event instead of an exotic dancer recruitment event.

And then you wind up dating Barrett.

YOU GUYS ARE BEING SILLY
So you shouldn't feel bad.
Actually...
When I first played Genso Suikoden when I was little, I think I had a crush on his character art. I'm not so much into crushing on game character now, though.
Barret is the best person to date in that game!Shadow Hog said:

SAGE question: Is Sonic the Hedgehog PC not that bad?
Because even while looking at the screens, I felt like there was more to it than how it looked. You know, diamond in the rough and all that.

But which Sonic game? Sonic Generations, Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic CD, Sonic the Hedgehog Episode 1?
Dark Schala

This.
I remember qq more talking about it, and I know Sega1991 reviewed the SAGE demo but ended up saying something like it not being the worst game at SAGE, which should be mean something about it is worth playing it for.

Ohh I haven't played it, but I don't know, looking at the screens, mmmmm I don't like it, but I think that I could give it a try!

Sonic Jump?
I don't recall if I played it or not. I know there was a fan game that couldn't work at all, but I don't remember if it was this game. Let me check. I have a folder full of SAGE 2012 games.
EDIT: Yep, it was this game and WHY DOES THE ERROR MESSAGE KEEP POPPING UP? LEMME CLOSE THE GAME W/O THE TASK MANAGER
EDIT2: The game's icon is beautiful

Trampoline Phone game? Pffttt...
Where's my Sonic Spinball sequel? I want it to be bigger, better and crazier than ever!

Also needs creepier boss fights
holy fuck what was with the boss fights in Spinball? Nightmare fuel for kids! I love it!

That was Nightmare Fuel? I was raised on Don Bluth, those bosses were anything but scary. What was scary was how tough that game got in a hurry.
what?
i never realized Spinball had stages other than Toxic Caves until a few years ago.
I was actually shocked for the opposite reasons. The game only has 3 or 4 stages.
But then I quickly remembered that each stage took me forever to beat (actually only beaten the first two stages. Gave up at the third stage). :V

This is actually a popular misconception.
After Toxic Caves Sonic Spinball just ends, anyone who says otherwise is lying like all those "you can play as Luigi in the original Super Mario 64".

THE B.B.B.E.
That Boss Fight wouldn't even be in the top FIFTY Sonic Boss battles

Toxic Caves is pretty much the pinnacle of Spinball. None of the stages after it were all that memorable...
They probably thought no one would notice.

People should notice...it can be a pretty fun game in short bursts. Just needed more varied levels. It was just screaming for an Robotnikland style level. I mean if the Kremmlings can have an amusement park at their place, so can Robotnik
The boss fights in Colors were so easy. 3 hits, wow.
It basically was, given that its development consisted of the cast-off American members of STI being given under a year to have a game out in time for holiday '93 after Sonic 2 wrapped up.

Yeah man, having to hit the pirate guy 8 times while going through the ship section over and over would have been swell.
2 hits on the first boss. lol Ferris wheel
When I was streaming it for you guys I was super confused on what was going on because I accidentally killed the first boss in about 20 seconds.
Well I guess that explains why it felt like something to just hold us over until Sonic 3.
Okay, fair enough. I was just thinking of that ferris wheel boss that occured twice.
Dark Schala

And half the time you didn't even know what was going on when you used it.
Colours's boss fights could have been great if they didn't recycle them, and if some of the bosses were a tad longer (even Nega-Wisp Armour Phase 2 didn't get to play in full at all).
I can't tell what colour Sonic's eyes are in that icon. It needs enhancing.EDIT: Yep, it was this game and WHY DOES THE ERROR MESSAGE KEEP POPPING UP? LEMME CLOSE THE GAME W/O THE TASK MANAGER

And if it's borked, I'm probably not going to take a chance with it, then... I'll just start up After the Sequel like I've been meaning to and post some screens of that instead. 4-day weekend, etc.
I thought it was somewhat obvious...? ~_^
I agree. The second phase of that last fight was just begging to be at least three times as long, if only to hear more of the music. I do think that they were probably my favorite boss fights in the series in a while, though, because they did a good job of allowing you to enjoy a freer range of motion while you fought them than other recent Sonic titles have. Getting to rush around the loop bosses, quick step down the raceways in the others, and still play with the powerups felt looser and more fun than just standing still, sometimes jumping, and slowly whittling something down (I'm looking at you, terrible boss fights in Sonic Rush).
Definitely play After the Sequel. It's a big improvement over Before the Sequel in level design.

So I went back and played Sonic Generations on PC at 30 fps. It seems to me, not many people are giving Sonic Team their props when it comes to their use of motion blur+lighting. While the game is breathtaking at 60 fps, it damn near looks like CG at lower framerates. One of the most beautiful games this gen!
