Re: Sonic and the Quest for Phallic Compensation
Camera or whatever flaw it may be, it all boils down to the same principle: Is it worth the effort? How hard is it to adapt to the flaw, and if you do, how much fun will you have? It's hard to argue that SA1 (and most of the games around that smoothing-out-the-3D-lumps era) didn't have their fair s...

Re: Sonic and the Quest for Phallic Compensation
OK, well, I haven't played the game, so maybe this response is making some unfair assumptions, and if so I apologize. Maybe the camera is in fact totally OK and IGN is just tarding out; I wouldn't know. But if it does cause issues, then this particular line of defense gets trotted out all the time, ...

Re: Sonic and the Quest for Phallic Compensation
Well, I came here to indulge in the expected snark, but I guess you haven't heard the news. The IGN (3.9) and Famitsu (26/40) reviews both hand this game the worst score they've ever given Sonic. With the 8 from Nintendo Power, so far that's two out of three. Truly the Sonic franchise continues to s...

Re: Sonic Unleashed?
Plus, for a reviewer, there are so many more obvious and fatal flaws that picking apart the stuff that more or less doesn't suck just wouldn't be sporting. They're not going to be changing any purchase decisions at that point anyway; only the diehard desperate fans would be buying a game after readi...

Re: Sonic Unleashed?
Guys, I hate to tell you this but the news about Tails and Knuckles being the other playable characters and thaose wolf Sonic attacking mechanics is fake. UPDATE:First, we apologize for our fault to post those fake news about the Sonic plot and the confirmation that it would be 2D, gameplay-wise. D...

Re: What Sonic game is this?
And Sonic was "Slow" in Labyrinth because Eggman swithched his shoes with Heavy Shoes, man! people never care about Sonic's story. This is the worst kind of justification for poor gameplay mechanics, and one that comes up a lot. If a new Sonic game was called "Robotnik's Glitchy Mess Fest" and invo...

Re: </revolution>?
Really, there's not a lot of money or effort involved in getting a label's catalogue on an online store, compared to what it takes to ready a CD for the country. You don't need any physical materials to craft or print. So, really, you shouldn't be baffled over what the upside could have been to sel...

Re: </revolution>?
I'm extremely confused by why any of the major labels are giving Amazon the time of day. I always assumed that they let Apple take control of distribution because that was preferable to distributing themselves without the option of DRM that worked on iPods, but there seems to be no upside to selling...

The article seems to me to be less a chronicle of why than of how . Sure, the Sammy saga and the death of the Dreamcast were pivotal points in Sega's fall - but those weren't causes, just the inevitable result of events already set in motion. Sega was not a coherent company. The Americans and Japane...

Now that DA mentions it, playing the same game more than once, each time with a different character, is pointless and stupid, but somehow StH3&K managed to make it not only good, but excellent. What can it be that makes that game so damn special? The fact that you're only partially playing the same...

I was referring to representative democracy, the one that is actually feasible in reality, and you are referring to direct democracy, which has been experimented with but in full form is unrealistic without some measure of representation. To call it 'true' is both incorrect and implies that it is so...

I'm saying that every option is an equally shitty option, even the lack of a system. I can understand saying they're all bad - but saying they're all equally bad is just ludicrous. Democracy is built around the ability of the electorate to redress grievances. Sure, the representatives have the most...

I'm definitely voting, and as of now, I think it'll be Obama. So far, he's impressed me far more than any other candidate in either camp (though my preference goes left anyway), and the fact that there's a youthful and energetic leftist running and running well is enough to renew my hope in this co...

P.S: back in '92, that helicoptery tail thing was the shit. Complete truth. Tails was leaps and bounds over the current crop of generic animals. A helicopter fox was both bizarre and cool in the same way that a supersonic hedgehog was. Now everything's just a talking animal, with subtypes immature/...

You seem to be confused about how companies work. Their aim is not to avoid people writing letters, but to obtain their money. So long as you give them money, whatever juvenile letters you send are of no relevance. There are certainly people inside Sonic Team already that would prefer to ship an act...
