yeah I think that’s the prevailing opinion I see
The reason I ask is BC robotnik himself seems to have a bit of the aspect of walrus to him, would be curious to see what those two lads would get up to were they to cross paths
i never get why people are so against sonic having a supporting cast they havent even added a new one in years
Sonic shouldn’t have a supporting cast, it should be him and a flat stretch of land running forever and ever with no obstacles until he gives up.
also what would the fan artists draw
part of the joke is he is getting new friends, they’re just hidden away in the comics (though I guess technically they’ve made inroads towards being canon as they’ve been added to Sonic phone games)
also Sonic Forces gave him a cool new villain in [REDACTED] but I think Sega doesn’t want us to remember him
this doesn’t really mean anything, Sega is trying to memory hole Silver and Blaze for the crime of having their own plot in Sonic 06, despite Silver being a main character of that game and Blaze being straight up alt universe female cat Sonic
i don’t know why people get mad about there being more sonic characters because they’re all cool. (all the game/idw ones at least)(and a lot of the stc ones too)
the most recent new character in a non-phone game was barry, the non-binary quokka protagonist of the murder of sonic the hedgehog
wait no it was trip the sungazer from sonic superstars
Oh yeah lol how could i forget that Sonic visual novel April Fools “prank” that actually completely slapped ass!! and was a great justification for Sonics extended cast. best since at least like Sonic Adventure
tho i mean if we’re counting the IDW comics then yea Sonic has loads of new friends/enemies and they all rule, i fuckin love Whisper and Tangle and Surge and Kit etc.
(those comics also singlehandedly made Silver and Blaze into actual characters i could give a shit about!)
my newest favorite Disco Elysium quote is “a hug a day keeps the bourgeoisie away”
god getting the Hardie Boys to crack and help me with the investigation was so fuckin satisfying i want less games about cops but more games about doing Detective Shit. Just let me play as the morally grey but well intentioned union fixers next time!!
I am surprised Cucky does not come up more often
the woke mind virus has caused him to be renamed clucky
refusing to click to enlarge that image so I can read “Flicky” as “Fucky”
Pocky and Rocky can’t compare to the adventures of Cucky and Fucky
both the combat and the breadth of quests in rogue trader are getting even better… I keep going back and forth between “this game is admirably complex in ways I like but padded in strange ways and not necessarily very good” and “this game is actually very good with caveats.”
chapter 1 badly needed like 40% of the combat cut back if they were gonna take this long to make it more interesting though. the writing otoh… is kind of fantastic? it has a lot of personality for how inevitably dry it is, it’s the one kind of bloat that is almost all upside.
Callisto Protocol: what if Dead Space was even dumber. What a dumb shit game
when I played Disco Elysium I could not get the HArdies to help me but I did convince Kim to do speed with me, so a win is a win
