Multiverses and multimedia conglomerations are ruining entertainment, why can’t the games and movies be their own separate things? It’s already happening to Sonic with the IDW characters and comics being canon to the games
I got all achievements in Sonic Racing Crossworlds last night. I’m a bit burnt out grinding for tickets, so I’m going to take a long break from the game until patches and updates are finished before I go back to it.
Other than that, I’ll be playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on my phone, Xenoblade DE on Switch, and maybe doing some achievement huntin’ in Sonic Generations on PC. I’d also like to take advantage of the Steam Spring sale and check out Marvel: Cosmic Invasion
@Not_Soos I’m actually glad we got Pac Man and Mega Man back to back. They’re the only characters in the season pass I was actually excited for, so I don’t have to wait as long
@PipeGuy64Bit It feels like SEGA is trying to appeal to western / online zoomers with this game instead of actual gamers and SEGA fans. Between Red, the Nickelodeon crossovers, and the IDW characters. Plus, everyone’s gonna recognize Miku from general internet culture, and Yakuza and Persona are their biggest money makers.
I’m gonna be real, Arle’s the only character I give a care about with this update.
Not only do we have a Yakuza character in Crossworlds already, but Majima’s going to be in the new Shinobi game as part of the Sega Villains DLC. And I bet Red’s only in the game because of corporate reasons, like SEGA’s telling us “Oh yeah, you guys DO know we own Rovio now, right?”
It’s nice they’re giving us these characters for free, but aside from AiAi, Arle, and Nights, the SEGA reps feel very safe. They put in the IDW characters but not Beat, Amigo, Billy Hatcher, Ulala, or Alex Kidd? And Streets of Rage and Shinobi have gotten new games in the past 5-6 years, put in Joe Musashi or Blaze Fielding to promote SoR4 and Art of Vengeance.
My university’s on spring break all this week, so I would like to take this as an opportunity to start a new game, preferably an RPG. I would like to start either Trails in the Sky 1 (original) or Tales of Vesparia DE. I’m also still grinding Donpa Tickets in Sonic Racing Crossworlds. I still need to get all horns.
Honestly, I did say I was going to get FireRed, but after seeing how Nintendo/ TPC are doing nothing special with this rerelease, like adding widescreen support or other features, $20 is a bit much for a 20+ year old ROM.
Yes, $20 for GBA games is a bit steep, but I’d rather have them to own then rent on NSO. I have FireRed emulated but I will certainly buy the official release.
@siavm I think most people who are gonna play this will be the same people who played the 3DS one, and that came out roughly 13 years ago. They’re most likely going to be teens and young adults
I’m doing some achievement huntin’ in Sonic Racing Crossworlds. I finished all of the Grand Prixs and Time Trials, and I’m now grinding Race Park mode to get tickets so I can buy all of the cosmetics.
I got Super Sonic in Sonic Racing Crossworlds last night. I am now playing around in the Race Park mode, as well as continuing to get A ranks in the Super Sonic Speed time trials to buff up my jukebox. I’ve also been making more progress in Sea of Stars this week. I beat the Dweller of Woe on Monday.
My granny wasn’t feeling well last week, so we postponed our Christmas party for this weekend. After the party, I’ll be able to play.
I’ve been recently playing Dark Souls: Remastered. It’s fun exploring new areas and fighting (or in most cases running away from) enemies. I just got to the Undead Church yesterday. I would like to make more progress in Sea of Stars this weekend as well.
Aside from gaming, I made a Backloggd account at the start of this calendar year! When the sales finish up Monday, I really want to pause buying new games and play what I have. It’s a fun way to revisit my library and play games I never touched yet.
Continuing Sonic Frontiers. Cleared out all maps on every island and am currently working on the Action Chain Challenges so I can get the spin dash. We’re having family over for a Christmas party tomorrow, but I’ll be able to do some shopping later this week. I’d like to grab some games this week while the Steam sale’s going on, particularly DOA 5 Last Round.
@dskatter This was literally how it went down with the Skullgirls debacle. Everyone against the censorship in that game was being called n**is and and gooners and the like. It was insane.
I’m getting my wisdom teeth out on Monday, so I’ll likely be spending my recovery time gaming. I really want to pick up Clair Obscure while it’s on sale. I don’t know exactly what I’ll be playing, but I know that either Hollow Knight or Silksong will be in the mix for a casual revisit.
Sonic Racing Crossworlds finally went on sale on Steam, so I tried out the game last night with some Grand Prixs and Time Trials. For playing on the lowest speed for the former, I really enjoyed what I played so far! The real meat of the game for me will probably be online, though, so I can’t quite make a decision on whether or not the game is worth its full 70 usd price tag.
Aside from that, I’ll be doing some achievement hunting in River City Girls.
Continuing my Sea of Stars playthrough on Switch. I forgot how fun the combat in this game was! Seraii just joined my team, and I defeated Romaya.
On Steam, I just snagged the ultimate edition of KOF 15, Half Genie Hero, River City Girls 2 (with the Double Dragon DLC), and Absolum. I’ll be playing those as well.

Re: Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Switch Update Censors Naughty And Offensive Names
So Nintendo can’t add widescreen support and multiple languages to a GBA rom rerelease, but they can add censors

Re: Square Enix Is Making Changes To Its New HD-2D Game Based On Demo Feedback
@DiamondJim I don’t think HD 2D has been done to death… my problem is that every game that uses it looks the same.
Also, Square Enix needs to stop remaking stuff. I want to see new worlds and characters, like this game sets out to do

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Fails To Meets Sega's Expectations

After getting every achievement in the game, minus getting all horns and course decals, this game isn’t worth 70 usd.
