I'd still say never again.

Good Day to Die Hard ain't that great, but honestly, it's not THAT bad. Worst Die Hard ever, but not unwatchable overall (but oh man the first 30 minutes were killing me, it was so badly-directed)
-Villains were forgettable. Shit, the villain was just undefined.
-shaky cam never ever does anyone any favours. Ever. I hate it.
-first 30-45 minutes were sooo sosososo bad. John was acting like this old man who didn't know shit about what he was in the middle of. (ie: bullets are flying everywhere and he's all, "what the heck is going on?!" and acting all weird and senile (not like a cop who's in the wrong place at the wrong time --just because of how it was cut and directed; not because of Willis's acting. I saw Expendables 2, I know he can still be a badass)
-seems like it misses the point of Die Hard completely
-yelling "I'm on vacation!" over and over isn't funny, man. Where's the good quips?
And overall, I had a good vacation for people who asked about it in IRC last time.

This is why I never actively go for A-Ranks in the Adventure games. They'll make me dislike the games overall, honestly (just like how I won't go for the plat in Sonic Unleashed).Poltergust said:

That sounds pretty awful but I set my hype levels at near zero anyway, worst Die Hard ever is bad enough for me since 4 doesn't do a lot for me, but no doubt one day in the future I will watch it and weep.

Don't see DH5, Owl. I'm a huge, huge fan of the original, so they already stole my time and money with this POS masquerading as a Die Hard movie.
Don't be me, ya'll!

Worse than Die Hard 2.

Time to casually remind everyone that I've never seen Die Hard.

This is the greatest of advice and i'll heed the hell out of it.
I'm not sure how I feel about Die Hard 2, people give me the impression that I should dislike it when really I find it just okay which is seemingly too much.

I've only seen Die Hard with a Vengeance and Live Free or Die Hard.
I also haven't seen the original Die Hard. My critically acclaimed/culturally significant film backlog is larger and more embarrassing than my video game one : /

It feels so satisfying once you beat them, though. Lost World is one of my least favorite levels in SA1, and when I beat the A-rank mission by like a second I was like "YEAH! TAKE THAT, YOU STUPID LEVEL!"

I'm not really in any position to tell people what films to watch since there's tons of well renowned films i've never seen either because i'm just not that much of a movie guy.
That said, watch Die Hard, it's the nuts.

I can't do it. It's weird because I have patience for this kind of stuff in RPGs, but in platformers? Nah. If it's going to be something that's going to make me dislike the game in the end, I probably won't do it.
I love Sonic Unleashed, but you'd have to pay me to platinum it.
Oh! Welcome to SonicGAF, btw. I know you posted in the other Sonic thread, but I think people just find their way here when they explore community so we don't get lots of new people often.
But thou must! It's one of those action movies that's worth a watch.
Thanks, though somehow I didn't get a lot of sleep. But it was good and I had lotsa fun! Well-deserved since I don't really take a lot of time off anyway. Now I have the rest of the week off to do diddly-squat (read: make study notes and play some games).
...then again, I think everyone knows I don't sleep anyway.
Gratz on beating P4G on V. Hard. Are you going for the platinum?

They are not even remixed (edit, ah they are, been a while since I listened to them) it's exact because he is a lazy fuck. Worst for me is I played Black Dawn a lot as a kid on my ps1 and still own the game somewhere, I used to listen to those tracks in a cd player so to me they are in no way sonic tunes.
I believe about 4 tunes in the game are all from Black Dawn.
Black Dawn was a poor mans desert strike but I still loved it.
Diablohead

Because it was written 10 years prior and for a helicopter game
it doesn't fit sonic at all!Diablohead

Earth Dragon is another Black Dawn tune, it's quite obvious (to my ears at least)

Huh?

Black Knight just seems like a mishmash of things, and tbh, I think the Storybook games would've worked a lot better as adventure games, or maybe games in the vein of Unleashed.
Black Knight really would've worked a lot better as a Zelda/adventure game-like sort of thing rather than combining Sonic gameplay with swordplay. It doesn't work very well at all.

The molten mine tune is actually from a ps1/saturn helicopter game OST as said a few posts up, the game reused music from another title with only some instrument changes and being so used to the game the tune originally came from, I can't imagine sonic running along to it at all, my brain just denies it

Holy shit. How did I missed this?
Told you so!

Thanks. I haven't really paid attention to the Community subforum until just recently, actually.
So... how about that supposed "leak" for the rumored "Sonic Adventure 3", huh? Only ten days left in February and not even a hint so far. =/

That you did.
I would also like to know what backroom soundbin they pulled most of the gunshot sounds from. Shit sounded like pop-cap guns
Even the gun sounds are mediocre!
The only thing it had going for it was the weapon customization that could have been cool if it was in another game.

Not Sonic related but I am streaming that Resident Evil 1.5 Leaked Beta thingy over here

Welp. Tomorrow a friend who got two copies of Revengeance early is gonna sell me the PS3 version for $30. That means I can use the preorder cash at Gamestop towards All-Stars Racing Transformed.
It's gonna be a good week.

Looks like some sort of preliminary rendering of a scene from Sonic Riders.
Sonic Riders
edit: beaten, but yeah, probably an early version or something. I don't remember that scene.
edit2: why do the babylon rogues have the tesseract
god eggman is so tall compared to the animals, or the animals are all actually short
and sonic is still sooo lanky
edit5: wait, it actually looks like that in-game o_o

Found this on the old standby Tumblr.
Transformice sure has changed since I last saw it. I don't recall Twilight Sparkle mice standing next to giant Shadow the Hedgehogs at any point.
chris' eyes oh god

EDIT: New ad
for fuck sakes internet
Y U NO isn't funny and never was
The ad is for people who unironically say "pwnd"
Play other video games.
I mean, this is kinda cool
His spikes look like they are made out of particularly jagged dildos.

I've been getting ones that say "STOP! DAD MOM BROTHER WIFE" or something similar.EDIT: New ad

...that's literally all it says.
...what the hell is it advertising?
Haven't had a system in a while, and I'm waiting for substantial software (among other life-related things) before I jump in next generation.
I've been getting that one too. It seems...unsettling to say the least.

Maybe they should design a game around the concept of gliding everywhere in that goofy pose.
I mean, glitches in Onimusha are what led to Devil May Cry to begin with, so...

The scene where he spurts fire out his ass? That could be used as a boost, clearly. Rocket faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarts
