I do think he would do better with a game than a comic I agree, if he were to be hired to localize a few games and do a good enough job, then writing for a game and seeing where it goes is alright so long as he doesn't go overboard and tether ALL the villains to eggman again. (poorly redesigned and tethered twice witchcart, her minions, and the Battle Kukku Empire were poor choices last time that still burns me up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have them tied to Eggman... but are they loyal is the question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree whole heartedly with the points you made there. my only issue was with those two characters in particular, as they were missed opportunities to diversify the cast of antagonists.

We've kinda had a "If you see it, post it" kinda mentality when it comes to drops like that (plus I'm almost always at work when it does drop) but yes we do need to post news like this a lot faster than we currently do. When it comes to the big stuff like the IDW Sonic Town Hall, @TheRedStranger expects me to be on top of it... or else. 1 hour ago, Polkadi said: Knock knock, it's NO USE!

F07E Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 not gonna lie, the heavy promotion in japan is making me very unsure about this game thanks to how its reminding me too much of 06, which always struck me as a game trying to cut into that market at the cost of it's longstanding fans (like halo 5 and fallout 4). either that, or they know it's not gonna do as well with western audiences since Mania blew everyone out of the water already. though it's a bit relieving that blaze will NOT be in it (if aaron webber isnt being told to do that deny=surprise nonsense), she really needs a game set in her own world and on her own (*cough*notpointlesslytiedtosilverfornologicalreasonotherthantomakehimlookbetterorappeaseshippers*cough*) with an actually well designed villain to contend against. maybe that's what her absence means, who knows?

I don't mind she's from a different world but that doesn't leave a lot of opportunities for her to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F07E Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I got that impression from comments on youtube as unreliable as they can be (I also found them frustrating as it seemed most were 3D fans from the Sa2B/X Era chasing their white whale known as Sa3). Still gonna wait for its release to pass judgement, if it's good i'll get it, if not, than I won't, simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, that's rather curious, as Famitsu got their hands on the game. They gave Forces a 35/40 (9/9/9/8), which is actually higher than their score for Mania (that being 32/40). The patch notes for the day 1 update is also very... Curious. Turns out the base game was missing something you'd think it wouldn't miss, but I won't spoil.
