I can appreciate your passion PPA given that this is probably your favorite game but it does strike me as an over reaction. The only thing I can think of that's similar to this is the ps2 remake of Nights they put out a few years ago. In there is the option to play with new and improved graphics th...

It isn't even a word in the English language!

I does sound like a strange plural form of the word boner, though.

What is your plural of “bonus” then?

That's the plural we use in German. Is it incorrect in English?

How exactly logic matters on a purely emotional topic is beyond me. Objectively, this is a fantastic remake with all that one could possibly wish for, and more. Subjectively, it breaks my heart, because I perceive it to be in poor taste and while worthy in execution, unworthy of the original game in...

Unlockable boni are usually different from game‐changing corruptions of basic mechanics.

Is this actually a thing in Japan? Care to cite your sources? I mean, Nintendo had no qualms adding new content to their GBA Mario ports, and that alone sort of trounces this idea of games being immutable for fear of hurting someone's feelings! I'd think the notion of disrespect is much more of a c...

 That's completely besides the point, this is a matter of principle. By hacking all sorts of shit into the game, it is implied that the game needs it and is less enjoyable without it.  If they had wanted to put Tails in the game, they would have done so (he has two cameos, after all). While I know t...

I would have bought a port or a remake, but I'm not touching a hack. I was actually coming to terms with the alternate physics if they were just optional, but now Tails? There's merit in the Japanese's aversion towards hacks on the basis that these could be considered an insult to the original devel...

True. I apologise for derailing the thread.

My initial post was not to attack Steve Jobs or his work, but to question Radrappy's statement. And while I disapprove of the business model of his company (which I doubt he was managing all by himself), this does not the least diminish my respect for him as an individual person and as a human being.

I could feel guiltier for being sceptical of a business model footing on encouraging wasteful consumption (continuously buying new, shinier models every other year, leaving the old one undesirable and thus to be trashed) in times of resources becoming scarce, people and nature suffocating under moun...

Since he was so young, who knows what amazing achievements he would have made had he survived. If the imac/pod/pad line of gadgets was any indication, this man probably would have been eventually responsible for lightspeed travel. While I admit that they look good, what exactly makes these useless ...

This is a new Sonic game and yet I am optimistically and eagerly awaiting its release without any cynic remarks or grave concerns clouding my excitement. Never thought I'd see that happen again.

I hope someone asked the obvious “What did Round 2 look like?”-question.

Does that excuse Heroes, Shadow, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, and Sonic 4? And the two Sonic Rivals game, developed by an apparently quite competent and passionate team initially as an old-school platformer, but then turned into the awkward racing game nonsense it ended up being as per Iizuka's perso...

I thought you were supposed to wait a month!

On one hand, having played the early Retro Sonic prototypes, I could relax knowing Sonic CD in some of the best hands possible, but all this talk about the Sonic 2 spindash being introduced terrifies me. I've even heard a few rumours that the aerial speedcap is going to be removed, although I really...

Back on topic, if my cat comes posting here selling my things don't buy anything until I'm dead for a month. But what if you are not actually dead but the hurricane tossed you onto a distant Indonesian island where the impact makes you lose your memory, you are raised back to health by an old Japan...

Life and death are an illusion anyway. Your body consists entirely of “dead” plants and animals, and after its “death” will “live” on in the cells of microbes, the roots of trees, and the bodies herbivores, and your actions and thoughts are part of a natural causality chain reaching back to the begi...

Well, no more! It looks like they're just confused by the added third dimension, guarding themselves against at...

When a friend told me about the Sonic CD port earlier today I felt a surge of excitement rushing through my body (which is exceptionally rare), but it didn't take long for me to return to the usual cynicism of expecting it to be a direct port of the Sonic Gems version, including only the US soundtra...

Quick doodle.

This game is strange. I'm pretty sure I have been through the Sonic Cycle twice with it already, but now I'm getting sucked back in again.

Also, I see on the Post website that there's a new Smurfs cereal. I was actually kind of holding on to the shred of a hope that they might revive Smurfberry Crunch to coincide with the new movie, but the blue & white Pebbles looks pretty good, too. Assuming they've remembered to add enough goddamn ...
