Hmm, the Sonic Unleashed music sounds like it's pretty great, I might have to check it out.

It's good if you're into soundtrack music.

I never heard it all because I refuse to finish that godawful game.

^

Though due to my new obsession with finishing games, I'll end up returning to it at some point to get pissed. Again.

Dohohoho, the guy who made the MadWorld script, eh?

-Aaron gained 900 Interest EXP.
-Aaron's interest rose to level 3.

EDIT: Happy Tree Friends too? I expect to see some sort of mutilation or violent act, in-game, on-screen or off.

Yeah, I dunno. I liked Unleashed, mostly for the music, but the music here is downright atrocious. Gameplay engine looks like it's exactly the same...and I thought Sonic moved way too fast in Unleashed...

You've heard one song (which I rather love, but this isn't about me). The actual music that plays in the levels is supposed to be different (or, as you would put it, "better").

Plenty of things wrong with this post.

1) I have heard more than one song from this game.
2) The music that plays in the levels is different, but that doesn't automatically make it "better".
3) In fact, the gameplay music isn't that much better. It's fairly average for a Sonic game.
4) Your use of quotation marks with the word "better" implies that I have a pretentious view of constitutes makes good music. Actually, there are objective barometers that have nothing to do with opinion. There's plenty of rock music with interesting melodies, cool harmonies, adventurous instrumentation, etc...the rock music in Sonic is objectively derivative and uninteresting. If you like it, good for you, but that's a matter of opinion, not objective musical worth.

1. How, and what? No other music has been released. You can hear some music in some of the gameplay videos from E3, but it's all very faint and barely hearable among all the noise.

2. I never said it did. I said you'd probably think it is, since you seem to despise the main theme.

3. That's not "in fact", it's an opinion. I can't really say anything about it at this point, having not been able to hear the music very well in gameplay videos. But from what's been said about it, I have no doubts that it will be pretty good.

4. Your claim that Sonic music is "derivative and uninteresting" and doesn't have "interesting melodies, cool harmonies, adventurous instrumentation, etc." is an opinion itself. I certainly think that Sonic music has all that and more. Not every single Sonic song, of course, but a lot. And I would more than likely find music that you feel is the best in the world to be dull and boring. We have different tastes, just as everyone does. Music is art, and art is subjective.

Aww, c'mon, it can't be THAT ba-, wait, was that a giant donut?

...nevermind.

How is that bad? It's fun, exaggerated, non-realisting settings, just like the Genesis games. Isn't that what people have been asking for?

No, we want 2D sonic or nothing at all.

Why does it have to be 2D? Why can't you have a good 3D Sonic game? Besides, there's Sonic 4, and Sonic Colors for DS will be 2D as well, so don't act like you're not getting any 2D Sonic.

I didn't say anything about getting no 2D sonic.

I said that I didn't want sonic to venture outside the third dimension.

And I think the now infamous 'Sonc Team' has proven that it's quite a challenge for them to make good 3D sonic games.

Quite ironic, no?

Dimps are sega's saviours. Without them sonic would be long gone.

Why don't you have faith in the developers. They're finally at a point where they're taking all the criticism from the fans very seriously, so seriously that they delayed Sonic 4 to change the physics and such to satisfy all the whiners like you. As for Sonic Colors, they're taking the reception of Unleashed and building upon the great daytime gameplay for Colors, and removing the not-so-well-recieved Werehog gameplay. And they're also taking a page out of Super Mario Galaxy with the Wisp power-ups and whatnot, and I don't see how that can be a bad thing. You just want this game to fail. You're not even giving it a chance, and you probably never will. You'll just continue to express your hatred and rage towards it, while you'll never actually play the game for yourself.

I said nothing whatsoever about hating the game, I said that I don't want it because I prefer 2D Sonic.

Unleashed and building upon the great daytime gameplay

Thou shalt not state thou opinion as fact!!


EDIT: And that song was the most pointless piece of uninspired drivel I've heard in a good long while.

 

[BlueDaisy]

OMG! I love Sonic. I've played almost every Sonic game, so I'll definitely be picking up this one.

 

[Bulerias]

Lots of fanboy rage in this thread...they're just games, Jesus Christ. Nobody is supposed to "have faith" in developers, if their track record is *censored.2.0* then chances are the next game in the series won't be any good either.

I don't remember seeing giant donuts in the Genesis games.

You can not prefer it all you want, but that doesn't mean that it won't be a good game. There are many games that I don't prefer, but I'm not going to call them garbage just because I don't like them.

And I wasn't stating my opinion as fact. >_> The daytime gameplay of Sonic Unleashed is widely well received by many fans, and many people will tell you that it's the some of the best gameplay in a 3D Sonic game, if not the best, ever. So I think using the word "great" was appropriate. Maybe it wasn't "great" to you, because you just don't like 3D Sonic games, but there's no denying that it was great gameplay for a 3D Sonic game. It's like saying that Super Mario Galaxy didn't have great gameplay for a 3D Mario game. Ridiculous. You're just trying to pick a fight, as usual.

Giant mushrooms, giant donuts, same difference. The point is that the Genesis games took place in colorful, fantastic locations, just as Sonic Colors does. Plus, what's not to love about a level full of giant desserts?!

 

[TheYoshiGamer]

SO excited! And I also noticed that the release date is just two days after my birthday...
