Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@EdJericho Ah well, I'm uploading videos right now, but if you're still around later tonight we could figure out and try something. Maybe for the wallpaper you could just recreate the images seprately so it would look cleaner and all that and I could just put it all together again.

As for the banner, I dunno yet...I guess it's up to you but I haven't really cared about it much. xp

@EdJericho Haha, I guess the game did look a bit blurry at times compared to Unleashed (although Starlight Carnival looks really good, even in SD). But like I've said many times, I'm not too into graphics, so the visual fidelity of Colors didn't bother me. If it looked more crisp and clean then that would just be a bonus, but I had a lot of fun playing the game so I'm good lol. I haven't got around to playing Generations... I really have to get that game at some point, but then again there's my massive backlog to deal with...
"PS3 but my saved data got corrupted a few years back"
Did Sony ever do something about the PS3's horrendous hard drive? I mean, it's pretty ridiculous... I remember walking into a lot of video gaming stores back when I was a bit younger and seeing dozens of activated PS3 demo stations with the message "save data has been corrupted" or something along those lines displayed on the TV screen. Every single time! Jeez... surely, an unpredictable hard drive is sure to discourage players from logging in a lot of hours of playtime, right? Thankfully, the PS4 doesn't seem to have those problems...

@EdJericho: I have both the Wii and 360 version, but the 360 version is MUCH better. The drifting wasn't too good, I have to agree. I know exactly which turn in Empire City you're talking about. XD I also hated that Savannah Citadel drift challenge... And Ouch! Sorry to hear your Unleashed data got corrupted! I 100%ed the Wii version. As for the 360 version, however, I've gotten most of the S ranks, and I'm working on the hot dog missions, as well as finishing all the people missions. The one hot dog mission I don't think I'll be able to do is Eggmanland. Some parts of that stage seem a bit unfair to me. I've gotten better at it, and usually only die once or twice, but I haven't done it without losing a life yet. I won't kill myself trying to do it though... I'll probably never fully complete it, but it's still fun to play once in a while.

And I've always thought the boost mechanic was unpopular... maybe I was just mixing it up with how most people prefer Classic Sonic.

@Vee_Flames: Colors was like Lost World to me; not the best, but not the worst. The story was a little random at times, but I didn't mind it. I love that cutscene about the Bucket O' Sushi... NOW with fish! o.O

I think everyone pretty much agrees that the best part of Unleashed is the day stages. While I didn't mind the night stages, I'd always rather play a day stage, too. I do wish the number of night and day levels were more equal, but I still had fun with them.

And Unleashed has fantastic music, in my opinion, night or day stage. Too bad the night songs kept getting interrupted with the Werehog Battle Theme! XD

@PikminFan22 Don't you mean GUMS Unleashed?

@Blue_Blur Yeah, Unleashed definitely has great music — in fact, I'd say most Sonic games have excellent music, modern or old. Heck, I don't even have any of the Boom games (reason is obvious... or the reason relating to the Wii U version is, at least), but I'm very sure it has one or two songs that I'd really like. Some of my favorite songs in Unleashed are Cool Edge (Holoska's Day), the Dragon Road Day song, and Rooftop Run. I even enjoyed the Werehog Battle theme mostly because it's so funky and jazzy, although it can get a bit repetitive.
I liked the early Werehog stages, to be honest. It's just that the stages that came later dragged on so long that at the end of the day all I wished was for them to end so I could play the day stages. And then somehow get stuck in the day stages lol.

@EdJericho Well, that's good that Unleashed was the only game that corrupted itself... speaking of corrupting itself, did the save data actually CORRUPT ITSELF, or was there some sort of abrupt power outage? In other words, did the PS3 say "welp, time for me to randomly destroy this random save data for no reason whatsoever?" I remember reading a fan letter in a GamesMaster magazine where the person said that his PS3 decided to die after he had amassed over 130 hours or so in Skyrim (and he says he lost everything on the PS3... what a freakin' bummer lol). That's just weird and funny at the same time

Haha, I forgot about Endless Possibilities... now that song is just amazing! Although it doesn't look like it was memorable enough to stay in my memory... now I don't see myself ever forgetting Reach for the Stars (Colors, obviously). That song is just a masterpiece alongside Escape The City.

@EdJericho ...You use Discord? We have an NL chat on there if you wanna chat there. o.o

@EdJericho I...uh, dunno about that, but...
I think inviting people to it seems weird...so, I guess try this?
EDIT: Figured it out.

Well, there goes 20 minutes of my life that I'll never get back, lol. XD At least I got the S rank eventually!

And yes, Endless Possibilities is amazing! One of my favorite songs. I also really like Knight of the Wind, I Am... All of Me... On second thought, I'll make this easy and just say I haven't come across a Sonic song that I don't like.

@PikminFan22: If you ever do decide to play Sonic Unleashed, go for either the PS3 or 360 version. They're both superior to the Wii version in so many ways!

@EdJericho Figured out how to invite people.

@EdJericho The first one was the wrong link, click the other one in the last post.

@Blue_Blur I don't think the Wii version of Unleashed was that bad, though. I had it and I thought it was okay... I'm aware of the increased visual fidelity of the PS360 versions and I guess that in itself is an added bonus.

@Vee_Flames: I agree, the Wii version was no where near bad. It played fine, and I had a lot of fun with it. However, once I played the 360 version, I saw just how much more the 360 version had to offer. For the 360, not only were the graphics better, but I also loved how you actually got to explore the continents, versus the Wii version only using talk bubbles. The Wii version didn't have any of the hot dog missions, or the Empire City levels, either. The last thing that stood out to me the most was that the 360 version had better level design, in my opinion. While playing the 360 version, I was dreading getting to Jungle Joyride Night, since I remembered all the platforms from the Wii version, which I hated, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a whole different level that I thought worked better for the Werehog. The Wii levels certainly weren't horrible, but I felt like I enjoyed all the 360 level designs more.

Don't get me wrong, the Wii version was actually my favorite game of all time until I discovered the 360 version, so I still think the Wii version is a great game; I just think the PS3/360 versions offer a bit more to make the game a little better.

@Blue_Blur Haha, I guess I can't disagree with that. I was watching some footage of the X360 version and while there were some similar elements in both versions, the X360 version was undeniably more robust and chock-full of content (although I do think Sonic was a little bit slow-paced compared to the Wii version). I only played the Wii version so I can't really judge based on anything else but I do think the Wii version holds for itself.
I'm kinda hoping the next Sonic game comes out on the Wii U (yeah, I'm holding out hope on that )... even if it comes out on the NX as well (whatever the NX is). I think it's pretty much guaranteed that the next Sonic game will come out on a Nintendo system... it's just a question of which one(s).

I've noticed that most Modern Sonic games have come out on at least two different systems (like a lot were for both 3DS/DS and Wii), so I wouldn't be surprised if it will be like the new Zelda, and it comes out on both the NX and Wii U (and maybe even the 3DS too!). I wouldn't mind if it only coming out on the Wii U, but I wouldn't mind waiting for the NX either. Both is fine, as well! As long as it's on a Nintendo system, I'm fine with it! XD

@Meowpheel @Megumi_Sagano @Danksparce do you guys think you can do something about my fabulous avatar? Like resizing it or something?

I dunno if I can do that stuff yet. >.<
Yeah doesn't look like I can do anything.

I would be able to change your avatar... But I can't resize or edit gifs...

@Vee_Flames I'm on the job
