One important thing about Sonic Riders for PC

At least it is important for me... I guess...

Only important if they fixed anything.

Of course, since the problem was "the whole damn game," that's doubtful.

This is pretty old, actually. It was mentioned when the PC version of Riders was first released and the release dates most websites listed for the PC version of Sonic 2k6 have long since come and gone with nary a peep from Sega. Most people who ordered the PC version of Sonic 2k6 had their orders canceled and their money refunded, so that's a pretty telling verdict that the PC version isn't happening.

Oops... that'd explain why this is pretty much the only evidence of a PC version being in development or anything..
It's still a little fishy that Sega of Europe would make such an announcement and then cancel it so soon. Whatever, it fell.

Wow. But that is sure a HUGE mistake to make. Now I'm kinda curious, I wonder if the Sonic Riders we get here have this too.

Well, that's just the business of the game industry. Obviously Sega was banking on Sonic 2k6 being a big enough success to warrant a PC version and was probably developing one for quite some time.

When the game bombed critically, they cut the cord on the PC version.

Which sucks. At least for me. I'm not planning on having a next-gen console anytime soon...

It's probably for the better that you don't have play it, really. It's not like people are joking around when they say it's really bad.

It is the videogame equivalent of eating undercooked meat; chances are it'll make you very ill.

I forced my way through it, and it is like eating undercooked food. You can tell it was meant to be something better, but it still makes you ill.

...halle da F****** berry, you changed your avatar. I tought I'd never see the day.

Wow, yeah. I thought it was some new person.

This is the GHZ we don't allow new people.

I'll re-open registration when I have time to fix things.

Isuka · Post by **Isuka** » Tue Sep 25, 2007 8:43 pm

Oh... so that explains why I'm still the new kid on the block, after some four months.
And I thought we were just a happy family...

That sentence placed next to your current avatar made me snigger a little.

No one says snigger anymore. It's not even in my spell checker. It is a real word and I'm not a subconsciously closet racist, right? Right?

Fear not. It shows up in OS X's Dashboard dictionary as "a smothered or half-suppressed laugh." (You might still be a racist, though.)

Phew.

MiraiTails wrote:(You might still be a racist, though.)

Well, yeah. But not against the blacks. I'm a music major, and every major music trend in the last century has been stolen from the blacks, so I'm too indebted to get involved in that kind of wretched, immoral prejudice.

The Jews, on the other hand...

I never understood why people don't like them. What have they ever done besides supposedly killing Jesus and getting blamed for Germany's problems after WWI?

Brazillian Cara · Post by **Brazillian Cara** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 8:15 pm

Well, there's the fact they are indirectly responsible for all the conflicts in the Middle East in modern history, but that's basicaly the League of Nations/U.N. fault for not giving them a place that wasn't already occupied.

Post by **G.Silver** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 8:38 pm

Well, that accounts for Israel, but the hotbeds we concern ourselves with, like Iraq, people there are quite happy to kill one another without any Jewish influence at all.

What I seem to have forgotten is why the Jews needed a country to call their own anyway. It's not like they aren't still all over the place, owning banks and writing sitcoms. Why couldn't they just stay where they were? Were there none in Israel already?

I think it's written in the Torah or something to that effect. Supposedly, they were promised a territory for themselves, a "Zion".

Wow. Okay. Israel? Is the holy land for these religious types. That's not something you can just brush off.

snigger

Are you sure it's not snicker? I'm too lazy to check if snigger is supposed to have a different meaning than snicker.

Post by **Delphine** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 10:29 am

They're synonyms.
