A mass of levels is exactly what I want from a platformer. All I can remember from sonic is that Green Hill Zone was the only level I ever liked
Do you like any of the games Pat had in either of his Top Tens? How about Devil May Cry? Fallout: New Vegas? Resident Evil or Silent Hill as a series?
Seriously the SBF have their toes in every genre and speak tons about loving like every game ever. I don't see how you can feel burned when the variety is insane.
Really? If the stages aren't memorable for me then I love interest ever going back to the game. Which is probably why the only Mario game I ever replayed from Start to finish was 64 and World.
Hell, I don't even think Super Mario Bros/ Super Mario 3 are even that great of games,
And I don't think any sonic game is great, the only good ones were the first three and they were just that, good.

I think Sonic Colors and Generations are alright.
I also think all the handheld sonic are great too...
That's just different priorities, but if you care about memorable theming of levels, you'd probably prefer the 3D Mario's, (and I don't mean 3D Land/World, those levels are just good level design without a theme, like you seem to enjoy)Really?

Yeah that is pretty much my feelings as well. I love Sonic Adventure 2 as a kid and now for being the mess that it is but sonic games both 2d and 3d never did anything for myself. DKC was always my favourite platformer seriesAnd I don't think any sonic game is great, the only good ones were the first three and they were just that, good.

Personally, it's all about fun level design for me.
I would say fucking boo but I cant since I cant trust pats opinions anymore...I have to play it myself.
Nah you're right, good core mechanics are super super important. I think 2D Sonic controls... Alright, but it's nothing mindblowing. The way levels have multiple paths is kinda neat, but I wish they crossed over more, and I'd like more challenging platforming sections.To me it's 50/50 fun level design and good feeling controls. Something I never found in Sonic
Well yeah, they don't like everything. The LoL and DOTA community seem pretty bummed how they don't care about those games.Not RTS, though. Or grand strategy. Or city builders. Or 4X. Or MilSim. Or some other stuff but oh well
Although I know Liam worked on my favorite RTS but I don't know if he likes it.
I would say the same myself, I never really fell in love with Mario as a series, it was just something I'd pick up and play sometimes. That said, every so often a Mario game does really surprise me. Galaxy has so much variety it's pretty astounding, and 3D World felt like the perfect evolution of a 2D Mario into 3D, while 64 did it's own thing.I first SNES game was Mario All Stars, Mario has never really done much for me, but I did like all the super Mario games and I did enjoy Mario 64, but I've never really felt like they were ever worthy of being favorites or something I could love as far as games go.
I respect Mario games a great deal and recognize their importance and quality, however I personally am not the biggest Mario fan.

Whaaaa, he worked on Dawn of War 2 Retribution? Like, I know he worked at THQ for a while but still.Not RTS, though. Or grand strategy. Or city builders. Or 4X. Or MilSim. Or some other stuff but oh well

As a kid I just didn't feel like Mario's style and themes did much for me, where as I absolutely loved how DKC1 and 2 looked/sounded, I think DKC2 might just be my favorite SNES Game of all time by a large margin, I'm not too sure, KI comes pretty damn close. DKC3 was fine but something was so off about that game, felt like a bootleg DK game.I would say the same myself, I never really fell in love with Mario as a series, it was just something I'd pick up and play sometimes.

Aargh, thighs still weak as hell after first HIIT exercise class of the year, roughly 48 hours have passed. I'm right now kinda glad that it's only once a week because I'd not have time to recover from the "BIG DAMAGE~" otherwise. Need to do a bunch of the exercises at home to get used to it and recover faster. I have been skipping too many leg days, trying to sit down on my chair slowly without grabbing the chair is a bitch
Whaaaa, he worked on Dawn of War 2 Retribution? Like, I know he worked at THQ for a while but still.
I'm pretty ignorant of them actually. I dabbled a bit into Arma 2 after I got it to try out DayZ but it never clicked. I respect them though.Well I just wanted to point it out since you said they have their toes in every genre.
Do you like any of those genres that I listed?
Sometimes I do wonder if I'm a Nintendo fanboy. I bought a Wii and Wii U on launch, and I've owned every Nintendo console barring some DS revisions and a NES.I never fell in love with Mario, never been a fanboy for Nintendo either but I can safely say that Mario games have a level of polish that is far greater than most platformers

You can do it, friender!
And yeah I think it was on a podcast that Liam mentioned that he worked on Dawn of War 2 Retribution. I was wondering how he knew about Gabriel Angelos if he doesn't play PC games but worked in QA.

DK64 is just filled with bad memories for me outside of the DK rap. I don't like Rare's N64 games.DK64 was fun in some ways but SO, SO, SO long and tedious and just... again it felt a bit off and I feel like I resented it for how long it is, which is saying something because I enjoy my RPGs a great deal.
I have two Gamecubes and two Wiis. Though in my defense I have two PS2s and two Dreamcasts.Confirmed nintenyearold
Mario platformers are always solid.
It's like McDonalds. You have a certain expectation of quality and you are not disappointed at what you receive. It hits your sweet spots but it's not good for you in large amounts and there are better options out there.
I grew to like platforming like VVVVV, Super Meat Boy, and Cave Story more than Mario games. They aren't doing it for me as much any more.
Apart from the two DS games and Skyward Sword, the Zelda franchise has more consistent high quality titles than any other series.
Did you never play Conker?DK64 is just filled with bad memories for me outside of the DK rap. I don't like Rare's N64 games.
Imagine a Europa Universalis playthrough! They would all be a different country. It would be so bad but I would love it anyway.Not RTS, though. Or grand strategy. Or city builders. Or 4X. Or MilSim. Or some other stuff but oh well
Although I know Liam worked on my favorite RTS but I don't know if he likes it.
Can we talk about how fucking amazing Cave Story is? And Super Meat Boy god damn.Super Meat Boy, and Cave Story
OhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhI'd call sonic McDonalds because every time I play it I can't keep my lunch down afterwards
Actually no, just a bit of Banjo and a bunch of DK64Did you never play Conker?

I played that and original Donkey Kong and got those medals just fine. Get good.dk64 is bad memories becasue FUCK JETPAC
You know, even though I was going to doubt that no matter how you phrased it, you shouldn't have started with "Apart from the things that contradict what I'm about to say..."
Go play Sonic Rush
Wow you sure do have a lot of consoles, Heather!DK64 is just filled with bad memories for me outside of the DK rap. I don't like Rare's N64 games.

You never played Conker!?
I only had like 5 games on the N64. DK64, both Zeldas, Kirby 64 and Paper Mario.You never played Conker!?
I actually do like parody stuff, but it seems to go for it from a more childish, crass type of humor that's a little off putting. I'll check it out sometime though.Conker is basically a Parody game, but everything it parodied was really well done, all of the boss fights were pretty rad, it was a worthy end to the 64.
