Yes. I have… watched the videos.
And what they dislike about Sonic from Unleashed on is that it is a cartoon, not an anime.
SA2 adds Vegeta. Sonic 06 adds Trunks.

mostly, it seems like sega have spent 15 years desperately trying to please internet people who will hate sonic games no matter what instead of making stuff for the huge fanbase they already have

I think they’re trying to make mass market kids’ games with the exception of Mania, which was made with internet people
Please look forward to my forthcoming Mentaculus-style writings on Sonic

Sega just really want to make Battle for Bikini Bottom, but their fanbase wants What if F-Zero had Legs and was an AMV

re DOOM i think that franchises with a certain level of money involved have a stake in trying to purge any sense of contingency or arbitrariness attending the success of the original thing. that original breakthrough has to be made not just intelligible but also inevitable and predictable - and i think that tends to push these things simultaneously in the directions of cosmic moral generalities (what is doomguy…? perhaps, doomguy is the story of order vs chaos, a tale as old as time…) and also the pedantic deliberate-izing of any throwaway elements (why is doomguy’s armor green. learn the dark origins of doomguy’s iconic armor and its connection to the mysterious organization known only as N.E.P.H.I.L.I.M in new dlc “armor of the gods”). doom eternal is a title and also a job description.

Since caveman times, humanity has gathered together to tell stories… perhaps our defining characteristic as a species is our desire for stories that challenge us to dream, to innovate, to lift up our hearts and ask for something more. 1994’s DOOM was a powerful story about love, sacrifice and the importance of doing the right thing. Since its release it has become a multimillion dollar franchise, and can now truly be said to have entered the pantheon of brands that form the modern age equivalent to the myths and folktales of old.
Just as those stories around a fire once urged humanity to dream, we hope DOOM will inspire people also, to lift up their heads and reach for the stars… Can you hear it, the calling of the stars…? Whoosh…! Whoosh…! Whooooosh…!

He was like that in the 2016 Doom but in Eternal he’s bowing to a Ghost King straight out of Lord of the Rings, it’s terrible.

This is why that Solo movie made me want to eat my own head
Between the title, the hammer, the dragon, and the other fantasy trappings, I wonder if there’s a reworked Quake 2016 design document at the heart of this.

I’m going to level with you, the only DE cutscene I remember is when Doomguy finds the Old Guy hanging out on a planet like a hermit and he talks a bunch of dumb lore shit about how Doomguy is going against the established order and Doomguy just stands there and lets all of the words bounce off of him and then hands Old Guy his Coleman brand electric lantern so it can get recharged and he can go back to camping and/or killing demons
frankly I think the fact that Eternal just skips several years worth of plot between 2016 and it is a way bigger sin than trying to create stupid a “what if heaven and hell were working together” storyline because hey, at least the dumb bullshit they’re throwing at my eyes and ears would have context

Doom is wild because they nailed the premise of “What if hell was in space” years before Event Horizon

will only watch that if someone confirms that it involved a team of overcredentialed disney screenwriters having to come up with a moving origin story for han solo’s little waistcoat thing
We have new Streumon. This is not a drill.

Why do the guns look like cod guns? I thought anything more complex than a straight barrel was lost to time unless it was some kind of junky scifi gun that was either super heavy or only shot a laser that gave a bad sunburn.
