[Sonic Lost World] discussion topic

[Happy Cat]

SA3 on everything but Nintendo Consoles would be a dream to you wouldn't it? =P

I'd take Sonic Adventure 3 on any platform, aside from 3DS. 3DS doesn't allow pedestrians in towns as stated by Nagoshi, and Sonic Adventure needs that. Next gen platform would certainly make things better though!

edit: realized i started going off topic. So i removed that last bit. sorry!

Starting to like the 3DS version again. There are still some "Meh" levels, but nothing as frustating as Frozen Factory Zone 3. I'm up to Sky Zone Act 2 now.

Now that I've unlocked most of the Wisps, I'll have to go back to earlier levels where they were locked and try them out. Having Tails use materials to make items and vehicles reminds me a lot of Sonic Rush Adventure.

It only dawned on me now that the Deadly Six used Eggman's factory to build their own robots, like Zazz's gold head or Zeena's snowman.

Also, I like how Sky Road is casino themed in the 3DS version.

Wait, how did you draw that conclusion?

edit: Well, I just beat the game and found it to be an overall enjoyable if incredibly disjointed experience.  I'm excited to revisit the levels now get those red rings, s ranks, and really get a handle on the mechanics. 

7.5/10

Finally beat the 3DS version, but without the game giving me one final "fuck you" after I was starting to like it again. In the final boss fight, it wouldn't target all the body part of...this one thing..(Sorry, don't want any spoilers), because it didn't bother to tell me that I had to have the R button down even though my speed was the same anyway. Oh and the boss fight froze up on me once as well.

I'll be writing up my review soon and will have it up this week.

Upon teaming with Eggman, each (aside from Zik) had their own machine (gold head, cube head, snowman,  owl, dragon) and after betraying Eggman they talked about how Eggman showed them how to build robots and they were operating Eggman's machines when they captured Tails. So I just made that connection.

I should have a review of the 3DS version up Wednesday. Who's doing the Wii U version.

[Barry the Nomad]

Me, remember!

[Radrappy]

yay, barry!

I've gotten all the red rings now, which was a lot of fun.  It's a peculiar thing to get a handle on the mechanics only much, much after beating the full game.  With a learning curve this steep it's no wonder why opinion is so drastically mixed.  That and some piss poor level design of course.

I'm working on S ranking every stage now which looks to be a real challenge.  All in all, this is a very fun game.  Just one that asks too much of the player in this day and age..

Which is why I scratch my head when people refer to the Wii U version as "hard as nails". Really? This is difficult in today's gaming world?? I read another comment online where a guy said he rage quit after dying four times in a level.

Now I know that some stages are more difficult than others, but I recall Sonic 1 also being a game with difficult moments. Maybe people have become too used to easy Sonic games? I don't know.

I do have a list of negatives that I will bring up in my Wii U review, but "it's too difficult" is not one of them.

When you consider some of the best scoring modern games are basically on autopilot, it makes more sense.  Unleashed/Colors/Generations felt this way to an extent as well. 

[Emmett The Crab]

I don't agree about Unleashed.  I kept dying and having to start over on a Werehog level, and I got mad and never finished it.

Unleashed was pretty terrible in retrospect.  I did like the art design though! 

[Ben]

I really don't care for this game. I'm not surprised at all that Sega USA never released a demo.

[Barry the Nomad]

That's a shame. I'm enjoying it. Not as much as Generations, but that had nostalgia going for it. Lost World fixes a few things I disliked about Colors (I'll note that in my review).
