Re: Sonic Boom Games Now Have Their Official European Release Date, Shadow Confirmed

@S3OL
I understand where you're coming from with Lost World. It was very heavily advertised as the best of Sonic and in a way (even as someone who enjoyed the game) I felt at some points, it did indeed fail to deliver. Particularly with the story. Why were the wisps never mentioned despite being in the game? How did Eggman find and control the Deadly Six? Why am I looking into a Sonic story so much? Anyway, thank you for respecting my opinion.

@S3OL I apologize, but I have to disagree with you on Lost World. Lost World wasn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be. It's fine if you didn't have fun with it, but saying it's worse than Sonic 06 is stretching it.

On the topic of Sonic Boom, both games got panned in previews in an issue of Official Nintendo Magazine, with the writer of the preview stating that they break The Sonic Cycle by not being good to begin with. Between that and gameplay trailers of both versions, I don't know what to expect with either Shattered Crystal or Rise of Lyric. I'll just have to find out myself at release.

Re: Kotaku Says YES to the Wii U - Rejoicing Begins

Troggy

I'd say this would help, but I'm sure that most of the huge fanboys of the Xbox One and PS4 still won't purchase a Wii U despite this. They'll most likely continue to avoid the Wii U either because of EA and their more popular games not being on it, or because of blind fanboy loyalty, despite Sony's worldwide president Shuhei Yoshida owning two Wii U's himself.

Re: British Tabloid The Sun Brands Gaming "As Addictive As Heroin"

Troggy

The Sun is essentially a whole newspaper of lies and/or controversy to make consumers purchase it. This isn't exactly out of their league. However, that doesn't mean this isn't absolutely stupid. What proof do they have? Who provided this information? Why games like Call of Duty specifically? Is it because it's popular and they needed an example?

Re: EA Explains Why It's Abandoning Dedicated Handhelds For Smartphones And Tablets

If Dungeon Keeper and The Simpsons Tapped Out are anything to go by, then good riddance to bad rubbish. EA know that the general phone crowd will spend hundreds on consumable currency for their games and they just want to abuse that fact until the cows come home. After last year's news of children purchasing virtual cash worth hundreds of pounds in apps, EA would surely want to abuse that in any way they can.

Re: Nintendo Scoops Three "Best Of E3" Game Critics Awards

Troggy

The awards are great for Nintendo. However, it'll take more than E3 awards to win over the general public. We are in a time where realistic graphics and gameplay are huge focuses for games like Call of Duty and Fifa. A large ad campaign is what's needed for fans of these titles to play games like Smash Bros. E3 can still play a part, but in some cases, it doesn't provide much.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Should Beware the Slippery Slope of Sponsored DLC

Troggy

I don't mind as long as said adverts don't affect gameplay in a negative way. In some cases, it can provide something useful to the player (Such as the Animal Crossing items and Mario Kart 8 vehicle), but in other cases, it's in your face and ruins the experience (Such as adverts in smartphone apps or promotional items made to only make the product seen absolutely perfect in every way).
