Trust me it can go on for much longer with many deaths if you're not prepared for it. He's a simple guy but does what he loves. Sonic The Hedgehog, what a guy. Its a great test of skill to see how you can outfox one another as you race around the ARK's exterior. X3 Man that'd be the ultimate chillax summer dude. Very much in line with SEGA's arcade style of the era.

Or in a science test in High School when talking about kinetic energy. Well in this case its more that the colony is 'old' in the sense that it was disused and was advanced for its day (in that Gerald Robotnik created it in the 1950s so compare technology to back then to what the ARK actually is here) But also if you wanna see how far the technology can go in Sonic check out some of the cities in Sonic Riders for comparison. I dunno I'd still say Wesker takes it overboard with his desire to completely globally saturate Chris with his viral fluids. As Dr Eggman's victory quote says in game "Now you know why I AM THE BEST!"

Honestly neither do I.

Why Eggman works in SA2 (and the Mega Drive games) is because he is an overconfident goofy manchild with plans of creating a theme park in honor of himself and his achievements... That also involve enslaving the world, destroying anyone who gets in his way and has an army of machines and genius intellect to back him up which is where the threat and fear comes in... Its a shame Forces ended up screwing up that concept because it really had the potential to really show Dr Eggman at his peak. In a later part I did a bit of research and found out what that line was actually referring to which is quite interesting. Yeah, Rouge is one of the great ones, and definitely one who both the fanbase and the series itself easily underestimates. She's got her strengths but she also isn't ultra invincible or needs to be on par with the likes of Sonic or Shadow to be strong since she has her own unique qualities they lack with a fairly vibrant personality to boot. Poor Amy though, the games haven't been kind to her after SA2. Don't worry we'll get to that line in Frontiers in due time.

In that sense wouldn't that also be the case if you have Ifrit equipped with its DT mode? Or was it a case of RAM limitations where the PS2 couldn't handle having all three and some sacrifices had to be made apart from the second phase Mundus battle?

@@TheSkully343 i remember hearing that they originally had trouble having the melee and guns loaded in simultaniously so maybe they had to optomise everything and utilise nearly all the PS2's available RAM in all rooms

@@cursedshibito8635 Does begin to make a lot more sense when you consider the very Resident Evil approach the first DMC game had. Though it does also go to show how those limitations really had to make the developers focus on every bit of space they had to make the most out of their core mechanics.

All that's left to say is OOOOOHHHHHH NOOOO ANNIEEEEEEE :' ( I suppose maybe they're still used in a novelty kinda way just for fun, but not in legitimate psychiatric practice. No Halloween night is complete without LE PIZZA and it is delicious! Maybe Michael Bay has a psychic link where he can inverse his films to make big money at the box office in exchange for ruining 80s franchises. In terms of Halloween movies to watch I'd easily recommend Halloween 1 and 2 (the original 1981 movie that is) Halloween 3 Season of the Witch has nothing to do with anything and can be safely disregarded unless you want to watch a film about an Irish celtic cult who kills people via a catchy advert and some Halloween masks. Halloween 4 meh, Halloween 5 tries to set up a potential new killer to replace Michael Myers only to abandon that idea when it was unpopular with Friday the 13th Fans when that series tried to replace Jason. Halloween 6 sucks ass and wastes the final performance of Donald Pleasance as Dr Loomis. H2O is... okay, not great but a decent watch. Halloween Resurrection... Well you've already seen the review. Rob Zombie's Halloween Remake I do enjoy for what it is as a flip side of the coin on Michael Myers being a psychotic killer by proxy of his upbringing and then following through in his later years. only for Rob Zomvie's Halloween II to screw it up as you've seen here. The Halloween 2018, Kills, and Ends trilogy just got worse as it went on and quite frankly just shows how much diminishing returns the series had after the first two movies from the 70s and 80s.

That could've been a potentially interesting way to generate horror but unfortunately this movie seems more interested in giving Busta Rhymes kung fu moves to later use on Michael Myers.

Never knew that. Might be worth investigating another playthrough to see if that's a potential out for people who might've missed the Nightmare Beta the first time around because that's quite a cool anti frustration feature for the game to give you a second chance of getting it.

@@TheSkully343 makes me wonder if the shotgun or grenade gun also have something like that

after rushing through the early parts of dmc1 turns out you can find the grenade launcher after the area that introduces the fetish enemies if you somehow miss it in the castle lol

@@cursedshibito8635 I wonder if its a similar case for the shotgun and Needlegun if its also available after the Library and sunken ship areas?

I mean it makes sense for Nelo Angelo to have that move data available to him from the get go (and it does make me wonder if maybe the Hard or Dante Must Die! modes would've had him go all out on a second playthrough from the first fight) but I suppose difficulty scaling/story momentum of this being his final bout with Dante giving it his all.

3's design felt too 'anime' for my tastes whereas the DMC1 look gave off the impression of half man half demon where Dante still looks visibly human but with some mutations because of his DNA to give him his powers. 3's DT just looks like a rejected Persona monster.

Fair enough I suppose. The 'naw mate' is just some half assed impersonation of a chav. Technical issues. Honestly I'd say pick your poison when it comes to Metal Gear. I'll still gladly defend Metal Gear 1, 2 and MGS2 as games but it does get gradually more convoluted as the series goes on and despite some decent gameplay to be found in all the games (save maybe Peace Walker) its nothing outright terrible.

Here's hoping .IA is a great site. Now if only Final Rush had more purple, your TRULY favorite colour. On a serious note though I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks, You are one of the originals who've been here since damn near the beginning.

@@silenthazardz The rants are gone as far as I've been able to find so they're sadly lost to time.

@@TheSkully343 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Well if it makes you feel better, I can't find my very first video on Yotube which I made many years ago back in 2008 I think. It was a toy review on a Spider-Man toy I used to have which is now gone.

Australian Football! Perfect place to discuss while there's a Sonic game in the background. Tails gets some of the cooler soundtracks in his levels and it makes for some great music to blast away robots in your badass mech of destruction. Its more of a case by case basis. I mean the rant videos of the old days might be very overblown but they did get to the point rather than having some dry staccato toned fuckwit take 20 years to explain his point that could be easily surmised in 10 minutes. Brevity is the soul of wit after all. I'm living in hope for a Burning Rangers re-release, but I think that'll only happen if SEGA ever do a Saturn compilation or one of those mini consoles like the SNES or PS1 mini.

Its a repeated phrase from Spyro the Dragon when you're freeing the dragons. Then why he was put to work despite his blindness is anybody's guess. That switch is guard specific where if they spot you they activate an electrified floor. Indeed, would've loved to have given Policenauts and Snatcher a shot honestly, but emulation it is... Arrrr matey! Pretty interesting way of utilizing the lighting gimmick for a unique gameplay function. I'd still give that award to the cardboard box for the fact that nobody questions it in a hallway or anywhere outside of a storage hold where it'd make sense to be. Well the missiles are Diane's method, but if you've got the ammo to spare or just want to throw caution to the wind you can go toe to toe with machinegun Kid and blast him like an 80s action hero. Well.... You're stoopid, gawd DAYUM MUTHA FUNKIN! STOOPID Well any time's good for Metal Gear.

Ah don't worry, you can't force creativity or inspiration and sometimes life shenanigans do get in the way of you tube stuff that just can't be helped. Shame really, it seems like 2010 was really the time that determined the series direction and sadly the Colours/Free Riders direction won out given public opinion of Sonic at the time. Ian Flynn's writing is a double edged sword in that he can create some decent plots but other times he (like you mentioned) can get a bit too 'fanboy' and create fanbase specific references or moments that take you out of the experience which can to varying degrees either be an "ayyy! I get that reference" or something that feels more like he's just flexing his knowledge about the franchise more than writing something that makes sense in the moment. I've been playing SA2 since 2009 shortly after I finished Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast so while not having SA2 since 2001 I do have a lot of experience with it and did pick up the PS3/XBOX 360 ports of the DX and Battle versions in 2012 so my experience is very Dreamcast centric since it was one of the many games I enjoyed along with Shenmue I and II and Resident Evil Code Veronica.

That might've been intentional given the theming of Pinocchio and the idea of him needing a conscience to learn right from wrong since Pleasure Circus is just giving in to base desires (not necessarily sexual mind you) but indulging in the rambunctious antics none the less. Indeed, so I suppose Ursula's little appearance in the tutorial is all we were getting. YAY!!! From what I recall seeing of the 3DS game footage I think there wasn't too big of a difference aside from the screen crunch so I'd say its nebulous apart from the change in aspect ratio from handheld to consoles.

I'd say that probably did so as a gag in this game. And if Sonic Team wasn't aware of it in SA2 they definitely were by Shadow the Hedgehog given that you get the Omochao gun as an ending reward. Absolutely! nothing's finer than stringing a combo of 12 lock on targets for a Perfect. That's a good point, and it is an interesting discussion point about these sorts of games where you feel a major power fantasy about being badass which only comes through having all the upgrades and having fun with them... But only after you start from zero and have to (to some capacity) earn your fun for repeat playthroughs for a more slick and skillful run. I'd say SA2 avoids that trap for the most part since there's still plenty of speed and action set pieces to keep you engaged and the slower pace isn't too time consuming that it'll test people's patience. I can't say for certain on the Gamecube version but do the controls feel any different for that version? I know the XBOX360 and PS3 versions were based on that port which I do have experience with so I do wonder if it might be a controller input issue or just the game itself?

Oh man! That's cool! Makes me wonder if that also might've been a potential death animation similar to what some enemies like the Shadows or Beezlebubs have when you're in dire health.

@@TheSkully343 oh god i could imagine griffon's 2nd grab just tearing out dante's innards as a finisher. would be pretty fitting for the horror aspect of dmc1

@@cursedshibito8635 I wonder why it was taken out of the final release?

SA2 REFUSES level assets, Game developers MAD!!! SAYS game journalism. Indeed, especially since SA2 showcases that it isn't just basic pyramid and Egyptian skyboxes/level backgrounds but has Eggman logos, faces and aesthetics all around to give it some visual spice. Sonic Adventure 3 has been long gone since Unleashed came out honestly so the best thing we can do now is hope that the current games can forge a solid foundation to improve upon and find a way to hopefully give the series some degree of identity between Modern, Classic or whatever Sonic thing they're working on these days. Yeah well Knuckles has punchy fists, Master Emerald Powers, shovel claws and a cool backstory, take that Joey jojo junior shabadoo or whatever the fuck Jojo is about. SA2 is too light and soft and isn't dark unlike Sonic Black and White - Sonic Fans from an alternate dimension where Sonic Colours is the dark and edgy game.

If only colours was a dark and edgy game. Without giving too much away (and if I actually can be bothered to make content while this year is still going instead being fearful for stupid reasons) JoJo is the most bizarre (shocking I know) thing I've ever read but its also something that has allowed me to look at things much better than I did once before and helped me look at things less like a fan and as creator as well. But to go abit more into if you're curious, it's basically about the Joestar bloodline, each part focuses on a different family member who just so happens to have the same nickname, Jojo (that gets dropped after part 3 btw), as they battles foes who reject their humanity. In the words of the creator, JoJo is a celebration of humanity. It's not the greatest thing to ever exist but I like it for what it is and I'm glad I got into it. It is one of the few shonen series' I still like and has made an impact on me appose to other manga and anime series' I regret wasting my time. This isn't me saying "shonen is bad", it's just that like superheroes and many other genres within every medium overall, I don't like sticking to one specific thing and I certainly don't like consuming shit just for the sake of not feeling like I'm missing out or being the all knowing man of media which means nothing especially if you don't even understand the series' you've watched, played and read beyond the surface level. Which is funny given my name but there is a reason why I called myself Media Nerd and the review it self but that's for a another day.

@@silenthazardz Sonic Black and White will exist in some alternate realm. I mean aside from its popularity revival in the 2010s I wouldn't ever think of disregarding Jojo's Bizarre Adventure since a lot of people do seem to connect with it to some capacity. Seems odd that they ditch the Jojo nickname by its 3rd iteration (of which there's like 9 parts now?) but maybe its just a remnant of an earlier idea of a multi-generational family line thing. Someday I shall soon learn the ORIGINS behind your Media Nerd name... But it is NOT TODAY!!!

@@TheSkully343 Originally JoJo was about the family lineage but Part 4 and 5 basically kinda shifted away from that focus for reasons I'll get into if I do a commentary on JoJo eyes of heaven. Parts 7-9 meanwhile is a soft reboot timeline that exists alongside the original JoJo universe that ended with part 6. And no I haven't read part 9 cuz I don't care about keeping up with modern media cuz I'm a boomer.

@@silenthazardz Ah that's interesting. I'm interested to see why Araki did that, though I'm sure I'll find out once you get around to it. Weird that the 'reboot' timeline keeps the same linear numbering from 7 onwards but I suppose you'll also elaborate on that later on. Also for heaven's sake unless you were born between 1945 through 1964 you are not a Baby Boomer you fucking fetus.

Well it was back during the days of ancient literature and often times stories seldom had happy endings so comedy was more of a term for levity (which I suppose it still is to some extent, just that modern terminology intertwines it with just pure jokes and such) The longer a franchise goes on and the changes that are made in time, the more likely you're gonna see stuff like that happen. 7 minutes is all the time he has to play with Dante. I'm willing to give credit where its due even for games I don't like and for all my issues with DMC3 it does have its positives.

Cheers man, Appreciate the birthday wishes belated though they may be. Sadly adult life leaves little time for gaming when you've got responsibilities to take care of. You can set some time aside but your drive and other pesky obligations still gnaw at the back of your brain. Honestly not sure why the sound mixing got worse in the Gamecube versions and especially for the PS3 and XBOX 360 ports later on? But I suppose the Battle port was prioritizing new content while the 7th Gen console versions was just a lazy porting job. Seems to be the case since a lot of reviewers tend to have no issue with it (or at least aren't as critical of it) in Sonic Adventure 1 compared to 2. Take that education system! Your gift of delicious Deem Bristow is accepted ALL IS FORGIVEN! : D

DMC3 Dante was more or less made in response to DMC2 Dante being sullen and "boring" so to over correct they pretty much made him an overconfident jackass making jokey jokes up until the last stretch of the game where he starts to become a more well rounded character (and thankfully stays that way in DMC4 and 5) and that jokey tone was something carried on from 3 onwards that just irritated me since it undercut the gothic horror feel of the first two games. DMC2 Dante was only really out of character in that it was never explained in game what happened to Trish or why he was so sullen (pushing that in a tie in novel with fuck all relevance) but to that games credit it still had Dante's noble demon characteristics with a few solid one liners that worked in context with who he was fighting. Grandpa Max has a extensive taste palette. To put it in brief DMC1 I like a lot for its gothic horror feel with its Resident Evil influence really giving a creepy vibe to Mallet Island and Mundus's influence on the inhabitants that you can read up about as Dante descends into the Underworld to face his destiny with solid gameplay mechanics and a great soundtrack that helps to embody action with the esoteric Divine Comedy influence. DMC2 While clearly unfinished and patched together (and is also getting a review made right now at time of writing) I feel does show promise of a decent game with some great visual storytelling, music and interesting ideas that got their genesis here like acrobatic trickster moves or utilizing gunplay in varied ways like the rainstorm and twosome time abilities that help keep your style meter up and Lucia's gameplay similar yet close quarters and elegantly swift to give her a unique edge. DMC3 for all my problems with the game's story and characters, has great combat refines DMC2's combat into the style system where you can prioritize defense, guns, swords or acrobatics, enemy dynamics are quite good and switching between weapons on the fly is fun... But that's the only real concession it made because puzzles are basic and copy pasted from DMC1, platforming is still arthritic on the few times you do it and even the new locations you travel through feel redundant as it features similar looking areas to the first two games. (Storywise it focuses too heavily on the comedy elements that aren't funny with Dante, generic Shounen rival antics of "I need more power because I'm broken inside" with Vergil and a dullard villain in Arkham who wants Sparda's power because fuck it why not?) DMC4 improves things decently with styles now able to be chosen on the fly as opposed to tediously picking out one from the statue of time as in DMC3, Nero comes across as a genuine character with room to grow and his combat has a unique feel and weighty goodness to his moves, Dante's combat is as good as ever and despite environments being reused in a glorified backtrack the gameplay is fun enough to justify its existence. Story is a bit (Our Princess is in another castle) and it doesn't quite develop Nero's love interest Kyrie or her Credo's relationship with Nero as much as I'd like since they are his adopted family. But as a result of Dante having a nephew it does give him a reason to be "Wacky fun uncle man" with abilities that surpass Nero but also genuinely give a shit like when Dante takes over the second half of the game... Shame it also shares the DMC3 main antagonist problem of Evil Pope Palpatine being another Sparda fanboy with delusions of grandeur but hey its a marked improvement over 3 in my eyes. DMC5 I liked what I played, enjoyed Nero's new movies, Dante's Sin Devil Trigger was a much needed expansion on the idea first introduced in DMC2 and I LOVED V's gameplay style of using the DMC1 boss monsters to fight your enemies. But it also plays like a "Devil May Cry Generations" in a lot of aspects and does end up bringing back Vergil in a sort of "The fans like him" moment where he ultimately learns nothing, seems completely unaffected by the whole "Nero's father is Vergil" reveal and the game ends with Vergil shirking responsibility in the Underworld despite the fact that the plots of DMC3, Nero's abandonment in 4 and especially 5 where his Demon half Urizen is responsible for decimating the world goes unpunished.

Honestly I think all three characters are served well in the Destiny Islands scenes, if only because its a rare moment of self reflection that has poignancy. And even without a Keyblade Sora's just happy to be there like the chirpy little dude he is. Poor Willa Holland! Must she bare the brunt of your scathing remarks any longer? Ah well I'm sure she's laughing her way to the bank from a secure VA role as Aqua. Good eye Sir Fortesque I never really noticed that until now! That's an awesome level of art detail on the logo. I think it was more a factor of "Okay we have the animation data of the Goofy Rocket attack from Kingdom Hearts II, lets use it as a D-Link and go home for dinner" Ah well that's good to know. Well that's a damn shame. Although it does make me wonder if storywise we're gonna get something like a cutscene movie of Dark Road and Union X given their story importance or failing that an offline version made for those two entries in the future? YAY!!! : D

Haven't read it, but it sounds worth a read.

Good to know. Especially considering the style ranking fades after a second or two compared to later games when you can prolong its cool down period.

Don't go wandering near Pumpkin Hill at night or the ghosts will eat your face. Well for the movie anyway, in SA2 proper he's voiced by David Humphries. That said I am interested to see how Reeves voices the character. I am truly rather a sick Original Gangster my brother. Not just a programmer but one of the two big creatives behind Sonic to begin with who was in prison for insider trading at Square Enix... As I said in the video he's free now, but apparently still looking into more insider trading if rumors are to be believed so he'll probably be back behind Japanese prison bars soon enough. Delicious Chaos Soda :3 Most likely intentional given the arcade nature of the game mode. PERFECT... PURE!!!! >: 3 And NOW we can begin...

Always good to end on a smile. Never found that particular meme funny to begin with which seemed to be the moment I realized "Man I'm too old for this internet meme shit" The Sonic movies I more or less treat as their own thing no different to SATAM or BOOM or whatever else and I can safely disregard them and take or leave whatever they offer. Both live action films are decent kids flicks that do have enthusiasm for the source material and some decent action scenes and character moments in their own right. But that being said There's no chance in hell its gonna do SA2 justice in being a faithful adaptation so at this stage I'm more or less just lowering my standards and hoping for it to be a fun movie with a few cool moments adapted on screen. Pingas ytps were the backbone of late 2000s early 2010s AOSTH videos on you tube and are sorely missed. Driving around and smashing cars feels good...Except if you do it in real life then you either die or go to jail with several broken bones.

Not to mention the whole trenchcoat look also feels very matrix inspired. Code Veronica's influence works well here.

Thanks for the heads up. And honestly even before stuff like this happens I've always been in the habit of backing things up since you never know when calamity is gonna strike. Nuance and substance whether the pendulum swings between dark and edginess or light and softiness. Its all about knowing what you're doing and having sincerity and passion for what you're doing. Not too sure what aspect of Sonic you're referring to here since in the case of Frontiers its very much a (without giving too much away) a decent albeit very Sonic Unleashed experiment game that has its heart in the right place even if there's lots of room left to grow and some bad habits to kick. DMC1's music is amazing and next to Resident Evil 2 and 3 is up there as Masami Ueda's best work.

@@TheSkully343 I was refering to how the series is now pandering to zoomer fans aspose to boomers during the 2010s. Tails' "Im wildly inconsistent" line, Shadow getting all this attention suddenly when he was Thrown away for being "edgy", and the refereneces to anime such as Eva & Dragon Ball. Detactors of the series will always claim "Sonic is a ripoff of Dragon Ball" while fans will try to convince you "Sonic was always a shonen anime" but the thing is both the haters and the fans willingly chose to igrone is that Sonic used to be it's own thing. As a fan of both, I see how the 2 are similar but even then, it's only the vestigial things like blonde hair and 7 magical items when how they function is different. I like Sonic because it was it's own thing, not because it's "like Dragon Ball" or any other thing I'm into. Point is, I'm not happy with Sonic's future and I see it going the same way as the late 90s, late 00s and late 10s. As for Frontiers itself, I dislike it greatly so far. It's frustratingly boring in every aspect. Sure it's not bad objectively but it doesn't matter when I'm not having fun. I know this was negative and I tried to be within reason as best I could but I'm just tired of my favourite things (and modern media as awhole since somewhere in the 2010s) being nothing but vestigial improvements. Not just the content itself and the creatives' behind them doing the bare minimum, but also how online fandoms, social media influencers and whatnot prasie something for not being the EVIL thing they hate or cuz it's not this or that. I just want to enjoy modern media for it being good on its own merits. And I don't mean decent, I mean it makes you FEEEEEL LIKE SPIDER-MAN good. (Added this here to add balance to the force)

@@silenthazardz It definitely makes for interesting discussion and I think you points do have some merit to them in how its trying to win back the crowd in some superficial aspects. But like with Colours I think a lot of this hinges on whether or not these changes are followed through in an organic way to build upon the foundation rather than throwing everything away for flights of fancy as was the case with Lost World after the one two three punch of Unleashed Colours and Generations. Compared to your views I do err positively on the franchise, but likewise I've also been down this road before and I'm not gonna be surprised if somewhere down the line we get the 2020s equivalent of Sonic Heroes or Lost World where a solid gameplay structure is thrown away for the hot new video game trend of the now or whatever fad is popular for franchises at this point in time.

Always fun to shoot down the hint buddy for that delicious dialogue. XD Oh man that's be frightening, especially with that robotic level of focus undistracted from its mission. Get your nerd glasses on because its about to get kinetic dude! The Code Veronica alarm is used quite a bit throughout the game. Though it makes sense since SEGA staff members helped out with the development of that Resident Evil game so maybe they shared the alarm sound effect. SA2 paces its cutscenes really well, a nice burst of action, a bit of exposition and a bit of mystery but quickly gets back to the action so you're interested enough to keep playing but excited to kick ass in a new level. Trust me I'm positive there's some mod for the Resident Evil REmake or Resident Evil 5 that does that.

Right on dude!

Kamiya loved his SEGA arcade games so I'd like to think that was part of his influence to give DMC its style system.

Cheers dude! XD YAY!!!! I get R rank for RADICAL (which is fitting because its also a score ranking in this game)

Damn! French never was my strong suit language wise... Neither is English now that I think about it. Excellent dude! I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Re:Coded's gameplay since that seems to be its biggest selling point.

Now I just need a Valentine themed game to review. Yeah, game development much as it might be somebody's dream job in a professional industry is still rife with a lot of hard deadlines and nose to the grindstone working conditions that can really suck the life out of you. Major credit to Crystal Dynamics for pushing through, let alone continuing on to Gex Enter the Gecko in 1998 given what happened in the first game. They made great use out of the way they layered sprites which seems to have been the big selling point of the 3DO version given some of the graphical effects used there, but the PS1 and SEGA Saturn seemed to accommodate quite well which gives Gex a nice visual zest that stands the test of time. I mean I'd hazard a guess and say that Gex is for a teenage audience, but what would've hilarious and cool to a 90s teenager is different from what would be cool to a teenager today in the 2020s which puts Gex in an awkward spot apart from what they see from internet reviewers who treat the character as more of a meme of I LOVE the 90s than anything else. Its easy to look back with rose tinted glasses at times but I suppose a lot of that is relative to your experiences where say someone who had a bad childhood but a great early 20s adulthood would probably have different things to say when looking back once they hit their 50s ya know? Glad to see I've made improvements over 10 years ^^ Enjoy your soup Skornie and watch out for Rez.
