Man that Perfect Chaos fight in Generations kinda sucked ass :/
I loved it outside of the weird malfunctioning homing attack at the end.
EDIT: Oh, there was also some of the annoying pits...
Thanks again, that's why I try because I don't care for such LTTPs myself.
True ending? Well, I guess I will now that I know about it. Right now I'm in SH finale, the part where
you fight the places you would have died normally in history.
Needed more Super Sonic, and Chaos not being entirely liquid and having that weird skin was well...weird.
Super Sonic would be kind of out of place considering you were only halfway to all of the emeralds by that time.
I think fighting it as just Sonic was a very interesting concept. My major gripe about the boss fights in the game is the lack of playing as whatever Sonic you wanted to be. I totally wanted to fight Perfect Chaos as Classic Sonic... would of have been so cool to see what the fight would of have been like in his gameplay perspective.

The one LTTP I've made was short lived, but it's not surprising considering the game in question.

I don't care about the look of Chaos or Super Sonic or whatever, it just had shitty level design that worked against the homing attack.

You can still do it; I don't remember if there's even a point of no return in this game. You just need to do 10 of the sidequests:
This was from when I was a junior. @___@ Oh yeah, have you been doing some of the quests to get extra skills or did you fight the hidden boss?
I think I remember reading that. To his credit, he did make them better in some cases. Better enough to make people feel like Sonic Generations was a step in the right direction.
How did I miss that thread? That game sucks, but I still played it to completion. :|
I remember seeing you playing that on PSN and wondering why the hell you were playing it. But then I remembered that it's basically an automatic platinum, haha.
That game sounds honestly painful. And good god is that boxart sooooooo cliche and generic.
On the bright side, it's possible to go super when you unlock Super Sonic, right? Or am I wrong about that? I've never tried Super Sonic in boss fights.
NES SMB3 was buggy? Been wayyyy too long ago since I last played it, I grew up on the SNES version mostly and I really prefer it for the save function too.

I have to agree with the boss fights not being that great in Generations. They were, for the most part, easy. I saw where they were going with the Perfect Chaos fight in that they made it more of a platforming segment than a boss fight, but it was still kind of odd in that it lacked the gravity that the original boss fight had.
... Oh well, ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.
... Oh well, ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.
that's not even the english boxart
They managed to make it more generic? Amazing.

Nope
You should find a way to play it though; its awesome. Great bosses. Clever level design built around the powers. Has a bit of Metroidvania to iy
You know that I got the platinum for Neptunia, I just play awful games because I can. See: Jak II. x_x
That game wasn't so much awful as it was boring. Like nothing you did in it was exciting in any form.

I hate every boss fight in a Sonic game. Ugh!
All I remember being buggy in the original is the graphical issues on the side of the screen when you scroll, which was because of the way they had the mappers set up for two way scrolling.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one starring at that door in the (otherwise totally awesome) intro
Also, I found someone who also thinks MM4 is the best of the classic series. Yay!
I like Sonic Adventure 1's non-Chaos boss fights. They end in seconds so they're not a bother!
I just assumed the door was in the distance

Doesn't get any better than "oh no.... oh no.... oh no..." and you move on! I can't really think of any boss fights that I genuinely enjoyed other than the Egg Nega Wisp.

That's what happens when you build bosses around the only plan of attack being "jump on top/into him!" and for a general audience of non-superhumans. See: all the piss-easy boss fights in the 2d (N)SMB series

I usually don't mind boss fights in this series.
I mean, I've hit roadblocks with them before...
Except for one boss. I think you can easily guess which boss that is, but in case you can't:

I mean, I've hit roadblocks with them before...
- Labyrinth Zone was a bitch if you didn't keep up a good pace and wound up underwater
- Big Arm was a bit tricky to hit correctly without landing in the titular arms or the spikes on his top
- That big mecha at the end of Death Egg in S&K gave me issues with the huge honkin' Master Emerald laser, until I realized that with good timing, it's not only possible to jump over, but not that hard to either
- The race against Metal Sonic at Stardust Speedway is rather tense with that damned instant-kill laser beam being ever-present on a terrain designed to slow you down enough that it can easily catch up
- The Mecha Green Hill Zone monkey thing always gave me issues as a kid so I had to cheat to see Aqua Planet for a brief while
- The Sunset Hill train somehow caused me Game Overs in the past despite being really easy nowadays
- Egg Viper somehow gave me an hour's worth of frustration the first time I fought him in late 1999
- The vs. Hero/Dark fights in Sonic Adventure 2 seem to be a total gamble as to whether or not your target will deflect your attack
Except for one boss. I think you can easily guess which boss that is, but in case you can't:
its level shares a name with one of the four cartoon series

That boss doesn't count because it's on the Game Gear, according to Iizuka!

"people's souls", god that's awkward
Why not just "souls"? Don't want to confuse your absolving with animal souls, perhaps? Sonic and his shitty friends to burn in the eternal hellfire confirmed. Nice work, savior!

Play the proper version of the game and that boss is fine.
Lightning come to absolve us of the sin of criticising Toriyama's masterpieces.

You guys are good at analyzing models and making things. Can you tell me why this character really rubs me the wrong way in terms of me not wanting to look at it for a long period of time?
I want to attribute it to it running into the uncanny valley, but some people are legit calling her cute when I think she looks really off and not pleasant to look at at all.
i dunno.
That "saviour" quote just made me laugh out loud.

She was the goddess's delegate in FF13-2 and was entrusted with goddess powers or something.

Her head is REALLY big for her body. Like 20-something Lighting on 10-year old gothic loli. She could audition for the role of the Queen of Hearts in the next Kingdom Hearts game, perhaps.
Awkward phrasing? You're talking about the series that has a sentence with someone saying something like "Cocoon's Fal'Cie is a L'Cie'". It's almost par for the course.
I want to punch her face.
