i don’t like the press X to not die QTEs in RE4/5 but i do kinda see a place for them as a cool cinematic way to fuck up and see your character die horribly which is part of the inherent fun of horror games
idk this probably bears its own discussion thread
In Unleashed the coolest way theyre incorporated is as your werehog finishers (again a God of War move) which i will say are pretty sick. i just completed the Dark Gaia Phoenix boss fight where you have to complete 3 rounds of escalating QTEs to win, and it was a little annoying but damn does Sonic give that birb the business
and again, seeing Mr. Needlemouse do dope shit is inherently part of the fun of his many video’d games
it’s pretty funny that the successful QTE sound cue is a doorbell
uncredited person who says “I’m outta here!” when you TIME OVER in Sonic CD
Penny Parker (snapcube fandubs)
0voters
thinking about this cuz Unleashed is the most ive heard Jason’s Sonic and he’s pretty good, appropriately cheesy & likable
i added as many official ones as i knew about and also Penny because i love her, even though it’s sorta cheating and she’s basically doing an uncannily good Jason Griffith impression (though she can pretty much do every sonic voice it’s amazing have i mentioned today what a simp i am for snapcube and how much those fandubs revived my inner sonic fangirl)
Martin Burke and Lainie Frasier (OVA stuffy nose Tails) are forever my head voices for classic Sonic & Tails
gave ring racers a try (just getting it running on steam deck) and it looks gorgeous and seems fun to play, and i’m noticing certain kirby air ride inspirations (spin dash is the kirby drift, also the unlocks/challenges screen), so like… its impossible not to think about how kirby air ride uses a single button when the comparisons come up, which would make kirby air ride the only true sonic racing game
Sonic Unleashed playthrough update: Rooftop Run absolutely fucks
ive had this stuck in my head like all day
Sonic games are like ADHD paradise for me, this level is a perfect example of why. just so much WOW WHOOAAA CHECK THIS OUT WAIT LOOK AT THAT OH SHIT DID HE JUST GRIND DOWN THE CLOCKTOWER HAHA FUCK YEAH and sonic is yelling out vocal stims the whole time
Definitely agree, the progression is not tuned to push too quickly into endgame territory, but then unlocking cars/parts/new tracks is not gate-kept by ‘finish X amount of races to be able to use Spongebob’ or some lame equivalent, which is refreshingly oldschool, if that makes sense?
In any case, i try not to play too much rn because i don’t want to lose interest before all tracks/characters are released, the maintenance break today/tomorrow iirc should be the precursor to the next DLC update patches for december. Wonderin how they are gonna time them in regards to christmas break, the weekend 26-27-28 seems to be predestined to have an event ongoing, so on countback that would make 13-14-15 likely to have the next event, if they plan to drum up the hype for this festive season.
