Topic: What (Non-PS4) game are you playing??

@KratosMD Maybe how juvenile it was appealed to you? You were younger.

@KratosMD Completing CoD: World at War on veteran mode remains one of my personal gaming achievements as it was pretty much one shot kills on you and in some places enemies would keep respawning so you have to push forward.

Storming the Reichstag was an utter nightmare in that game (I assume it wasn’t much fun in real life either to be fair).

@KratosMD Why not play it on PS4? The remaster was really good and a Plus tite? It honestly looks like a native PS4 game is a borderline remake remaster with how much they upped the graphics.

I'm hoping to finally finish up the main Sunset Overdrive story today. I put it on the back burner years ago and got back into it about a month ago. I finished up all the side missions and and am ready for the final story mission before jumping into the dlc. There are still a bunch of challenges to work through but I'll try those after I finish the game. I'm kinda bummed because I'm realizing you can't really purchase all the weapons without MAJOR grinding. Even with grinding I don't see how you can gain enough overcharge to purchase ALL of the weapons. It sucks that they made it so hard to collect them all considering a big focus is on the weapons. Either way, I'll be glad to finally finish this!

@KratosMD I really liked WaW as it went for a different take on WW2 seeing as the story flitted between an American fighting in the Pacific and a Russian fighting on the Eastern front and culminating in storming the Reichstag.

The other moment I remember (and almost gave up at) was one where you're charging at machine gun points and have to use smoke grenades for cover. Mess it up and you were dead. And don't run out of smoke grenades either!

@KratosMD Yeah, I played MW2 on Veteran and it was insane. That’s quite the undertaking you’re putting yourself through 😂

@KratosMD Yes, that comment is pretty accurate. Pretty smug feeling once you finally do it though!

God, I just looked and it was eleven years ago I got the platinum for that game!

My daughter sent me a text whilst I was at work today @RogerRoger @Gremio108 regarding Sonic CD (I remembered you two talking about it when I mentioned it)

I'd quote it and change things to be the forums PG's friendly tone... but even then I think it'd still toe the line with the stream of colourful expletives that were littered throughout it 😂

I was unable to resist looking at those Sonic Funko pop's Rog despite your warning... And seemingly I'm unable to resist giving this a go when I get home! It can't be that bad surely? And it's what? An hour at most? 😅

Fire emblem three houses, it's really good

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I like the fact that she was angry enough to actually text you about it

@Gremio108 @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Woah, what’s wrong with Sonic CD? I rather liked it when I played it other than one particular level making me legitimately nauseous.

@Gremio108 I wish I could have done that when I was a kid. Most likely would have thrown something or shouted expletives into thin air.

Ha ha she wasn't particularly angry about it more just trying to warn me against playing it @Gremio108

I uhh... did play it though myself. All the way to the end I got the bad end and... good gravy!

My only experience with 2D Sonic is the DS Sonic Rush games and from what I remember I quite liked those.

Sonic CD though? 😅

The level design felt weird and kinda clumsy?

That Japanese soundtrack was awful to me and again felt kinda clumsy in execution. The American one sounded much nicer in comparison.

The past and future mechanic felt badly implemented, hampered by the weird level design. I only managed to activate it like twice (I wasn't bothering to do so mind you) and the one time I honestly don't know how I even ended up in the future segment as I wasn't going fast at all to activate it

The bosses weren't that great either. Most were fairly easy. That pinball one took me like five minutes to get out that stupid section. The Metal Sonic "Race" can burn for all eternity too

If it makes you feel any better I liked NieR Automata more @nessisonett... by a wide margin too 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Woah, I did think it was a bit short but I thought it was mostly well regarded! I absolutely love the Japanese soundtrack and find the NA one a travesty in comparison but that’s just opinion of course. Time travel is a bit fiddly and it’s really hard to hit every level variation without playing the game 80 times. The level that made me ill (I looked it up) was Stardust Speedway, as there’s a section in the past with tunnels for Sonic to spin dash through at about 400 mph. The result is green and yellow flashes on the screen that burns the eyes and melts the soul. Especially on a CRT set 😂😂

I've only played the Sonic Rush games, Sonic Heroes, Shadow The Hedgehog, Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Riders and this @nessisonett. Pretty much all of them were bought for my kids... this being the first one I bought myself

I'd honestly probably say the same (or on similar lines at least) of the original Sonic game too (or it's sequels) and I have no idea of CD's reputation. It probably is well regarded but... Not by me 😂

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy That’s... quite the selection of Sonic games! Well there’s something to be said for starting at the bottom and working your way up 😂😂

@nessisonett I don't know, it just felt like a bit of a mess. I did enjoy the Sonic CD levels that made it into Sonic Mania though, so maybe I should revisit it sometime.

@JohnnyShoulder Same here. It's a much cheaper way of expressing anger at a game though.

Never apparently @RogerRoger 😂

... I thought Big The Cat was the most reviled character by the sonic fandom? I know Amy's characterisation is rather one note but... I dunno... I've always thought she was kinda ok 😅

I'll be sure to keep Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 in mind Rog! Seeing as Sonic CD was short (Thankfully. That's it one redeeming quality) but I'm still in the mood for Sonic (and don't wanna dive into Day's Gone just yet still) I might actually play another one of his games that I have.

... That only leaves me with Sonic Heroes, Shadow or Sonic Riders though (The others were sold at some point).

Descisions, Descisions...

lol

I like her theme in Sonic Adventure.

Her design is pretty cute, too.

Too bad she's almost entirely defined by her fixation on Sonic.
