Interdimensional Observer Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 5 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: a bit could've added to the immersion tho I was speaking of my personal tolerances. Dark stuff doesn't inherently bother me, I remember SMT: Strange Journey threw you in a prison at one point, with low quality first-person 3D dungeon-crawler DS still-image graphics. They had you witness your fellow captive humans get experimented on by demons, with the demons showing bloody playful curiosity saying stuff like "Let's drill into this human's skull and see what happens! Oh they stopped moving, oh what a good thing we demons have done.". Didn't bother me, even though I actually sought a reaction of... being "drained"... akin to that I always uncomfortably experienced on four playthroughs of SMTIV going through one particular area. Where it crosses the line for me... (the destruction of) innocence, vulnerability, violation. Witnessing people in stories go through these things makes me want to *skip*. -But that's just me, I understand if a dash of painful rawness makes fiction better for some people. 16 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: My Witch bias aside, the reviews for this game have been glowing from players, calling it a hidden gem and stuff - and i can honestly confirm so far Nice to hear.😉 11 minutes ago, Armagon said: Isn't that just being alive but with extra steps?

Lightchao42 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I finished Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the first time. The lategame was harder than I was expecting, but it was a fun time. (Should I use a spoiler tag for the ending of a 23 year old game? Sonic 3 will probably be inspired by it, so...) Spoiler I've known for a while now that Shadow was originally planned to be a one-shot character, but it never really sank in that he was supposed to die permanently until now. Even the original plan for Sonic Heroes didn't include him, and that had basically every character introduced up to that point. But of course Sonic Heroes did bring him back, and Shadow's place in the franchise has been well established since then. Now I just have to complete all the Chao races. But since most of my Chao are older than some users of this forum at this point, none of them evolved the way I wanted them to...

By introducing me to Robotech, it's where I got my love for mecha, heh. I've been forgetting to comment on this.😅 Not much to say, but a quaint personal detail, thanks for sharing.😀 55 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: But now you made me think on Nergal deploying Elbert and Uther Morphs in the final battle. Nergal isn't HUGE on watching the heroes suffer and intentionally mocking them. But, I don't think it'd be out of character at all for him to have done that. He probably enjoys "sculpting" the morphs anyhow, given his final comments towards Limstella. If he had morphs of the dead dad & brother, I'd probably put them right next to him at the top of the map after all the other morphs are defeated in the final battle, elevate them over his other final creations, in a desecrating-to-the-deceased way. 33 minutes ago, Lightchao42 said: I finished Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the first time. The lategame was harder than I was expecting, but it was a fun time. My commendations!😃 No idea when you first began, but if it was years ago, I get it, I've done that, it happens.😅 The last Sonic and Shadow stages are long and kinda weird, from what I remember. Although it's the last room in Sonic's second-to-last stage that's particularly infamous to me. Eggman's final stage is mindlessly fun though. Tails's was so-so, Knuckle's was okay, Rouge's felt too big/spaced out. On the final final stage... I don't remember it too well. But I never finished the game because the final boss phase one was too tricky. And sure, I'll jump in spoilers...

If you stop a colony drop with your rival, you should go forever MIA. You too should've, Sonic! 33 minutes ago, Lightchao42 said: Even the original plan for Sonic Heroes didn't include him, ...Now this I was not aware of. (Or actually I probably was, but I forgot.😆) *Checks Sonic Wiki* Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles Amy, Cream, and Rouge Chaos, E-102 Gamma, and Big Espio, Charmy, and Vector Fang, Bean, and Bark Metal Sonic, Ray, and Mighty Third trio feels really forced. I get it's Adventure 1-themed, but there is not one iota of conceivable chemistry between them. Can Chaos even speak? (Playable Chaos is cool though, I liked that in A2B's 2P mode. Just as long as he isn't as Armor Knight In A Desert slow as his Sonic Battle incarnation.) -And three trios of obscures looks like too many, Chaotix was enough. The Femme Trio isn't bad though, would've been a fine contrast to the all-male Core Trio. I wouldn't be so forlorn at the absence of Shadow, so much as the lack of Heroes's own Omega. Gamma looks more "classic Eggman robot", but Omega's cooler design can't be denied. Edited February 20 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was more, in the record of villains I've seen who relished in mockery and tormenting people, he doesn't rank super-high or anything. The madman that be but a husk who has forgotten what he original set out to do, can play calm & serious, he isn't uncontrollably given to seeking thrill at every opportunity.

Ah, right, that's true. --- As a side note, it's surprising that it took that long for FE to do it, despite all the various revival or pseudo-revival methods that existed. Duma could've brought back Rudolf and even Lima IV as Terrors... but didn't. Granted, his SoV version likely couldn't think on doing that, but in Gaiden no excuse. Manfroy could've turned any of Sigurd/Dierdre/Cuan/Ethlyn into Dreadlords... but didn't. Already talked about Nergal having Elbert/Uther Morphs... but didn't. Lyon/DemonKing could've reanimated Fado's corpse... but didn't. Ashera could've reanimated Greil's corpse as a Disciple of Order... but didn't. Then again, she's not omniscient. Grima likely did turned many of the original parents from the Bad Future into Risen... but none followed it to the past. And then in Future Past none are seen. Perhaps Grima didn't, but still...
