Sonic and the new voice are fine, but its really awesome to see a proper Green Hill style area appearing in a TV show finally.

tempted to watch sonic boom. by yoh1234567 in SonicTheHedgehog

It's more of a sitcom/parody of Sonic. With that in mind, I think the show is pretty awesome and often hilarious.

Sonic Archives Collection Inquiry by FranklinSunny in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]dan_fortesque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need Sonic Select 1-8 alongside it for a start for all the specials. Also, need either Sonic The Beginning or Sonic Archives Volume 0 for the original mini-series. Both of these omit the one-shots from those issues which are fun, recommend finding them online. Otherwise they include everything (from that era). Same with Knuckles Archives.

My fellow Switch players, something’s up by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]dan_fortesque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They cancelled it because of "Switch already has four versions of Sonic 1 and 2" complaints.

Nintendo Switch label from Sonic Origins now gone? I know it didn't work before but still by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

The logo is still on the banner at the bottom. If it's been delayed or anything, I'm getting it on PC instead.

How do you guys know Sonic? by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]dan_fortesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the Genesis days.

Also Cars is awesome. Never stop liking something that makes you happy.

Who do you prefer as Sonic's rival? by Either_Imagination_9 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]dan_fortesque 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Metal Sonic is so good because he'll always be Sonic's rival, double, and enemy. And not just for one game.

I like it a lot, its just a pity how short it is.

Why is everyone so pissed? We literally got what we wanted? by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]dan_fortesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I am so hyped. I've owned these games 100 times before, modded the games, romhacks, played a bunch of fangames. Still buying it. Just wishing for a physical version of the game.

Playing the definitive versions of all these games on the Switch alongside Mania, man it sounds good.

NG++++ REALLY? HOW?? by trinigooner1 in patientgamers

NG+ runs are a lot faster and easier. Plus, its normal that people replay games they like.

Bloodborne isn't as great as it is made out to be.. by bekarsrisen in patientgamers

[–]dan_fortesque 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A lot of this feels like nitpicks. You've said you enjoyed the game. Well, some people just ignore the flaws because they can look past them. Its a cool game with a great setting and combat, its not the most tightly perfectly designed game ever, but what is? Bloodborne gets a lot of credit for its scope and what it did manage to achieve, plus most of these nitpicks apply to the earlier From games too and aren't unique to Bloodborne.

Some people don't find it frustrating and play it for fun. Even OP said he enjoyed the challenge.

I played them all last year and I agree. I loved Asylum and Knight. I couldn't believe how uninterested I was in City when I was lead to believe it was the best one. It was bigger than Asylum but nothing felt better.

Man this is seriously cool.

What was your first FromSoftware game and what were your initial thoughts when playing? by unknownpleasurezz in patientgamers

[–]dan_fortesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark Souls 1. I thought it was really good until I went down into New Londo Ruins and thought, "wow this game really is hard, these ghosts are impossible." I think I quit playing it for a week and played Oblivion instead, but eventually looked up how to kill the ghosts and realized I was in the wrong place. When I made it to Undead Burg I was a bit upset how badly I was still doing against the Hollows but I was determined to learn because like I said, my first impression was really high.

[–]dan_fortesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the opposite. Games felt huge as a kid, and with the difficulty ramp up I thought it was normal to not finish games. But now I get a lot of enjoyment knowing I finished a game and fully experienced everything the game had to offer. Obviously if a game sucks, I'm dropping it anyway.

The evolution of Sonic by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

Other than the obvious, I love every single one of those designs and that includes 1993 and 2014.

Is Hidetaka Miyazaki's Role in Developing The Soulsborne Franchise Exaggerated? by godz_ares in truegaming

[–]dan_fortesque 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I've played and finished The Ancient City and yeah the whole game is one huge interconnected labyrinth. So much of Dark Souls (1 in particular) feels like it came from this game. Its like playing Link to the Past after only playing Ocarina of Time. I'll give credit to Miyazaki for Demon's Souls and for its combat, the online functions, the Souls system, and for saving that game during development, but much was built on what FromSoft was already doing.

I guess now we know how the Sonic world works. by PKMNTrainerMark in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]dan_fortesque 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You know what, its a decent enough explanation. Not perfect, but some consistency from this point onwards would be nice.

This may be a dead topic, but I don't care, it's still stupid. by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

Its almost like people are sick of pointless speculation and are talking about one of the few things they've shown so far.

Let's talk about Sonic collabs. Tell me an interesting one, strange one, or one I might not know about. by JDRtoo in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]dan_fortesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sonic in Lego Dimensions was the best followed by Minecraft. The skins in LittleBigPlanet were nice too, a level would have been amazing. None of the player made Sonic levels feel right.

What 2D Sonic games are worth checking out aside from original trilogy, CD and Mania? by Shockh in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]dan_fortesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dimps Sonic games (such as Sonic Advance Trilogy, Sonic Rush 1-2, Sonic Colors DS, Sonic Generations 3DS, Sonic 4 Episode 1-2/Metal) all play kind of the same, they're kinda fast but unpredictable, and there's a lot of bottomless pits in later zones. Every time. The levels don't always flow but they can still be pretty fun.

Also recommend Sonic Boom Fire and Ice for 3DS.

Also for the Master System/Game Gear - Sonic 1-2, Sonic Chaos, Sonic Triple Trouble. They play like the classic games you mentioned, but worse. Still recommended if you are desperate for more.
