Eventually people are going to want to discuss of something of value. Get over it. In fact, be happy that your topic got some 'dang value because these joke videos are only funny for about five minutes after they're seen. Then you forget about them as they go up in the puff of smoke that is the internet joke cycle.

 

god damn, you are no ****ing fun.

 

Sonic and the Black Knight comes pretty close to that. The Sonic Boom game will probably be exactly that but it doesn't look like it's actually going to be very good

If being fun means being shallow then that's not much of a loss

 

I'm sorry, what responses could possibly be given to this thread besides the ones I listed to sustain it for two pages?

Again, I'd rather be happy to have prompted actual, happy dialogue among people.

Huehuehue

 

Sonic as an RPG...still not sure how that feels. I mean, it at least looks decent compared to most of the recent Sonic games, and Mario managed to have a few great RPG's.

I've heard from a few people who played the Sonic Boom demos (for consoles and 3DS,) and...yeah, gonna pass.

 

Wait, so games with Sonic in them can be good?

 

nonono, you're thinking of Sonic and the Dark Brotherhood, which is made by Bioware and just AWFUL. Black Knight is the one everybody immediately wrote off because Sonic had a sword but actually turned out pretty decent

 

Is it an action-platformer? I dunno if I remember that one.

 

Black Knight isn't an RPG. It's a hack n' slash that looks semi-interesting. It's like a rail-cutter.

And I'll check out Sonic Boom just because first game from BRB. I can't let my Crash boys down.

 

Basically this. It's a sequel to Sonic and the Secret Rings, but they removed the motion controls for moving, you just use an analog stick now. It's pretty short, which got it a lot of flack from reviews, but the sword mechanics actually work really well with the speed based gameplay. As far as I'm concerned it has by far the most interesting plot in a Sonic game, too. It's also notable for being the first Sonic game since the classics to REALLY get multiple characters right. You can play as Shadow Knuckles and Blaze, and they have their unique abilities and different fighting styles, but at their core they still play like Sonic. They're ALSO completely optional, you can play as just Sonic if you want
It honestly kinda saddens me that Black Knight got awful reviews and didn't sell well, because while it was some wonky moments (usually involving motion controls) it was definitely a HUGE step in the right direction for Sonic... but none of the good ideas stuck because everybody decided the game would suck the moment they found out Sonic had a sword
(also using the homing attack in conjunction with the spin slash attack on a huge line of enemies is one of the most satisfying things in gaming as far as I'm concerned)

 

i'm hesitant to get excited for Sonic Boom because it just looks like them trying to make Sonic Heroes again. i'll admit i only saw like 5 seconds of footage though.

 

Remaking the best non-adventure game? I'm sold.
