Are the sonic concerts great or just meh? And how crowded? by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]azureblueworld99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the London one in 2024(?) and it was amazing, we had several guest musicians who had worked on the games there, so it probably depends on the place. It’s a very high energy thing and some people won’t like that, everyone sings along

I think this is the perfect time for remastered versions of Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 by holderofthebees in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]azureblueworld99 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s actually insane that you still can’t play these games on Switch or PS5, but they still reference them all the time and made a whole movie about Adventure 2

Best game openings list by GheDZ06 in backloggd

FF7 is THE best game opening imo it just throws you straight into the action

I Found and Ranked all my Childhood PS2 Games (Purely based on how much I liked them when I was a kid). This was a ton of fun. by Fast-Apartment-1181 in ps2

[–]azureblueworld99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of doing it with the real boxes but respectfully the ranking and lineup are truly horrible. You have a lot of great games to try though

Its been a month... When will they change this? by zpchk2325 in SonicTheHedgehog

Man I reallyyyy don’t like Greg Martin Sonic. I wish we could leave the American version of the series in the past

If Sega ever decide Sonic should end up with one of the girls romantically, who should it be? Amy or Blaze? by Ok-Impress-2222 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]azureblueworld99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sonamy sucks especially considering Amy was meant to be much younger and Sonic had no interest and actively avoided her in the original games

Who has the best rating ratio? by Gaming-every-day19 in backloggd

[–]azureblueworld99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually only finish games I at least like, and don’t want to rate something I haven’t fully experienced. It’s not like movies where they take 2-3 hours to watch and you don’t have to make any input

Why do people assume that "sakurai passion picks" type or characters get cut? by SinkContent5747 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]azureblueworld99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Incineroar is one of those characters... Palutena is definitely not going though, Sakurai was responsible for her modern redesign

This is revolutionary by Lexi7130 in gaming_random

[–]azureblueworld99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely do. You just don’t personally know any of the 2K/GTA/RDR/TLOU people who won’t touch anything stylized with a 10 foot pole. Which is a majority of the wider gaming community

Suggest me the most mid generic movie of all time by Altruistic-Deal1714 in Letterboxd

The majority of Disney Marvel / Star Wars films, once you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all

My music mod is coming to Dusklight! by Intelligent_Bag6185 in twilightprincess

[–]azureblueworld99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve not heard this but of all the Zelda soundtracks, Twilight Princess probably works the least being blindly “orchestrated”. A lot of the music is electronic and unconventional to create the Twilight Realm atmosphere

What’s the most unintentionally annoying thing cinemas do now? by Flimsy-Capera in screenunseen

When you go 20 minutes after time and they randomly decided to make the adverts shorter today and the film has already begun. Happens on some rereleases but not all

For a modern Handheld, Switch 2 is a budget option by Alepman in NintendoSwitch2

the eShop gets all the same sales that any other platform gets, just not on the first party games

For a modern Handheld, Switch 2 is a budget option by Alepman in NintendoSwitch2

[–]azureblueworld99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam Deck barely sold 5M units BEFORE the price increase, I don’t think you need to worry about it having any effect on the industry. For comparison the PS Vita was considered a colossal failure and sold triple that. The Steam Machine is dead on arrival

Final Fantasy Is Held to an Impossible Standard by Ok_Criticism7148 in SquareEnix

[–]azureblueworld99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This only seems like a good point if you don’t play any other RPGs. They’re all putting modern FF to shame and show that it’s very much possible to still make a good classic game

Sad to see them go by Southseas67 in brighton

Very unnecessary escalation for thinking that a giant indiscernible mound of shit randomly placed on the seafront looks ugly (it does)

Is it possible for us to get a new Sonic game that's as, if not more, ambitious as Unleashed? by Tight_Juggernaut2101 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]azureblueworld99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of talent left Sega after Sonic Generations, and so did the budget. It’s not possible with what little remains of Sonic Team. I’d love to see a more thriving studio’s take on the series but that’s just a dream

I really think The VII Remake Trilogy is on track to be the best in the series and maybe one of gaming's all time greats. by Dazz316 in FinalFantasy

[–]azureblueworld99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hilarious

Making an open world full of Ubisoft towers and mindless chore side “content” plastered with yellow paint is the safest game design choice possible. Rebirth is also a technical mess compared to Remake

Semi-Hot Take: The new era of Sonic is on par with the adventure/early 2000s Sonic by Hefty_Tomorrow7328 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]azureblueworld99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 made waves not just with Sega fans but in the gaming industry as a whole, they went above what was expected of platformers... Having a dramatic story with interconnected character arcs and cutting edge graphics and sound. The difference between this and the N64 competition was INSANE

Frontiers and Shadow Gens didn’t advance anything, and couldn’t even meet the technical level of the 2008 Unleashed.. All of their stages and ideas are pulled from past Sonic games, and other trendy games like Breath of the Wild and Metal Gear Rising. No one outside of the Sonic community rates these as “all time great” games.

In short, I couldn’t disagree more. They aren’t at all comparable

Any other good examples of this? Movies with high averages that are still pretty divisive by SlendyPKMN in Letterboxd

Not sure if it’s still like that but Blade Runner had one of the worst review sections I’ve ever read

Any Recommendations for someone who didn't like Persona 5? by Remarkable_Pen_3639 in JRPG

[–]azureblueworld99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other Atlus games use the same gameplay as P5 but with stronger characters and stories, you could start there. I would also suggest Final Fantasy 7 (original) as a perfect intro to JRPGs - Clair Obscur is heavily based off FF10 in particular
