I would agree with you, except we already saw that didn't happen with the Game Cube. I'd argue that the Gamecube was also a purple lunchbox and had the worst marketing campaign ever (ie. there wasn't one) which undoubtedly contributed to it turning away the "hardcore", but since this is all based o...

No, that's because they're aiming for two totally different audiences, dipshit. The Wii's target audience is hardcore Nintendo fans and people who do not normally play videogames - IE, anyone who isn't a male between the ages of 16-30. Do you really think Resistance, Bioshock or Fallout 3 or etc. w...

Yeah, I chuckled at that too. He says "You can see here we've brought back classic platforming, which the fans have been asking for" and it literally consists of Sonic jumping across three platforms then going back to his boost-a-thon. Because we've obviously just been asking for you guys to put mor...

African American voters show up in record numbers to support Obama. Obama's against Proposition 8, but most other African Americans are for it. 2+2=4. Obama caused more African Americans to vote for him, but they voted for Prop 8 at the same time, ignoring his stance. All they wanted was a man in t...

You're a page late.

I'm actually rather impressed by that video. It looks like Sonic's control has been tightened up significantly, at least to the point where you can run around slight bends without crashing into the walls. The levels themselves hark back to the days of Sonic Adventure and early stages of SA2, where i...

What? I never said the players aren't making mistakes while they play, I said that some things being branded as mistakes -ie. crashing into every goddamn thing - are being made universally, which makes a strong case for the controls themselves needing work. I don't know why you think I didn't watch ...

Some of them are player errors, sure. But then, who hasn't jumped at an inopportune moment and gone flying to their deaths before in a Sonic game (the originals on the Genesis included)? Some things are just bad decisions on behalf of the player, but I'd imagine the player is at least trying not to ...

I'd argue that lots of videos showing players crashing around, flying off cliffs and doing things poorly in general is more likely an indicator that the controls are not intuitive than it is of the players sucking. Unless you're willing to accept the notion that every person who has both a video cam...

I think it could have felt more like a Sonic game if they'd actually tried to make it like a Sonic game. I mean, why does Sonic move so slowly? Why does every "interesting" action in the overworld (running through a loop, rolling a down a hill etc) require no input from you other than an initial but...

Just finished the game. What the fuck . All the stuff that happens towards the end is awesome, and the Eggman twist is absolutely fantastic. But the game just ends, right when the story has finally taken an unexpected turn and become somewhat interesting. It definitely feels like a game that should'...

Oh, and the battle system. The whole Elite Beat Agents motif sounds placid on paper, but it made for a challenging and engaging experience. I found myself hinging on every pattern, regardless of whether or not I'd already encountered it 50+ times, and it never seemed to get old. Perhaps it was beca...

I'd say it isn't. Putting aside any frustrations I may have had, a lot of it is uninspired. The battles basically revolve around three actions - "Tap a circle eight times quickly", "Tap circles when they turn green" and "Drag a circle across a line" - and once you've played the first hour or so of t...

That could be it. I didn't bother trying to set my own stats and allowed the game to auto-level. It'd be interesting if the problem was from poor stat choices, since I didn't fiddle around with those. Could be, I guess. Can you redistribute all your gained points every time you level, or are they s...

I've gotten by so far mostly by binging on items mid-battle against the tougher enemies. My party are all at Level 7 now and I'm at Chapter 5, I think (the Metropolis one). Conversely, I don't understand how anyone couldn't be ridiculously frustrated at this game. If what I've been hearing about wha...

gah, no edit button. So I'm in Chapter 3, and I've just come across my first Scorpion battle in the Green Hill Zone. I can't win. My party is all at Level 5 and I can't win. If your party is only at Level 6 in Chapter 5, Ritz, then I know I'm not underlevelled. What am I missing? Is there some funda...

I'm at chapter 5, and all of my characters are at or around level 6 (Not as small as one might think), and everyone's got a max of about 9 PP. Wait, what? Okay, now I know I'm doing something wrong. I've just encountered Big at the Mystic Ruins in Chapter 2 and my team is Sonic/Big/Tails(all Level ...

I figured "fight more" would be the solution, but when I fought every enemy presented to me up until that point and was still getting my ass handed to me, I thought that surely the game shouldn't have expected me to start grinding within the first 45 minutes? Its not the saving that takes so long re...

It may just be because I'm not grinding enough, but I'm only like, 45 minutes in (Rouge has just been added to my party) and I'm getting destroyed by everything. Tails, Amy and Rouge miss every fucking time they attack, enemies are doing like 50 HP per hit (Sonic only has about 90 HP) and I find mys...

It displeases me that people's quotes are messed up and it looks like I'm praising Sonic CD when it was P.P.A as the game sickens me in all honestly. My bad, I didn't remove the extra set of of quote tags to begin with. Games that offer few replay value and are simply designed to play through once ...

but once you start time attacking them you'll suddenly realize how fucking brilliant and perfectly designed they are. I find it amusing that these days we consider it a flaw when you have to play through a level several times memorizing the layout before it becomes enjoyable, yet you seem to think ...

If you're capable of holding an opinion, you're capable of writing a totally proffesional review. That's a complete load. You might be able to write what your opinion is , but that doesn't mean that you're at all capable of writing a high quality, professional review. A review needs to be informati...

I really don't get the ending because I don't see how knowing that the heroes of Gotham get blown up and disfigured and then blown up and killed is any better than knowing they turn bad. Neither one should really inspire anyone. Really, the people on the ferries were much more impressive than Harve...

The first half of the movie was basically a love letter to Harvey Dent. Everyone, literally, could not stop saying "OMG! HARVEY DENT IS THE BEST THING EVER AND SO BRAVE AN' SEXY AND PLEASE HAVE MY BABIES HARVEY!" I almost got a little sick. He couldn't get his face blown off fast enough for me. Tha...

Have you even played SA2? Animals come out of every single robot made by Eggman.
