Demi liked it; Himu, why did you dislike it?

It has extremely loose and crappy controls, too much emphasis Sonic and friends mentality, average levels, and questionable mechanics (the character switching thing is pretty wonky).

Not enough meat to it, and completely average all around. Still better than Shadow and Sonic 360/ps3 though. But considerably worse than Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, and those were average to begin with.

We're talking Sonic, not Yakuza, distinguished black fellow.

Terrible, terrible taste.

Sonic Heroes was decent, if you find it at a cheap price you'll get some fun out of it.

To keep this topic going, rank the sonic games (you played):

Console ones:

1. Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (linked up together

2. Sonic The Hedgehog 2
3. Sonic Adventure
4. Sonic The Hedgehog

The final boss fight OWNED. Holy shit was it crazy. I didn't bother with the weapons in my inventory, because the environment was nothing but couches and chairs and shit, and it was too AWESOME not to use them. I used my charge kick to move the couches out of the way towards the final boss, and he was just knocked over repeatedly. Goddamn was that final boss the shit.

Get back on topic. My rankings of the portable sonics:

1. Sonic Rush
2. Sonic Advance 2
3. Sonic Advance 3
4. Sonic Advance

You forgot the Neo Geo Pocket Sonic, which was TEH AWESOME.

Dude, the fight before the final boss fight was annoying. THOSE GUNNERS

Someone gave me a bulletproof vest earlier on, so it wasn't too bad for me. Plus I learned his final move just before that fight. So fun to do and it made fighting multiple people much easier. It's the one where he grabs the enemy at the end of his combo.

I got a table thrown at me during the final boss fight. I wasn't expecting him to pick up items too.

Himu · « **Reply #72 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:02:47 PM »

Bullet proof vest is fine and all but those gunners surrounded you and your bulletproof vest means nothing if they get behind you.

What're your favorite heat moves? I love the heat move you get if you have a pair of pliars (I often found them in the alleyways during fights). Kazuma grabs the enemy's hang and cuts off one of his fingers. It rocks.

Beezy · « **Reply #73 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:14:54 PM »

I didn't even know that there were pliers in the game!

One of my favorites is when when he hits the enemy with one of those electrical signs while they're on the floor and then he jumps and stomps on their chest. It really surprised me when I first saw it.

Himu · « **Reply #74 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:30:48 PM »

Yeah I just found them on accident and when I saw the heat attack I went

Himu · « **Reply #75 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:33:42 PM »

Have you seen the gameplay trailer for Yakuza 2? Greatness.

[youtube=425,350]s6wrPVO3aL8[/youtube]

One of my biggest disappointments in Yakuza was the story. I liked the "twists" at the end, but the story didn't emphasize the crime aspect of the game too much. I really really hope we get the sequel. $:-\$

Beezy · « **Reply #76 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:34:21 PM »

Btw, Nishiki's tattoo sucked. Kazuma's and Shimano's were way better.

Himu · « **Reply #77 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:35:44 PM »

What was his again? I forgot. A...fish?

Beezy · « **Reply #78 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:37:43 PM »

Yeah, a friggin' carp.

HE KILLS A TIGER WITH HIS BARE HANDS

Beezy · « **Reply #80 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:40:49 PM »

Yeah, one hit KO.

I wonder if they fixed the long load times...

Himu · « **Reply #81 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:41:26 PM »

Apparently, based on import impressions, they have fixed pretty much all of the niggles everyone had with the original.

Beezy · « **Reply #82 on:** May 22, 2007, 10:42:56 PM »

Yet we'll probably never get it. :'(

That looks nothing like Date and Kazuma is too short.

Himu · « **Reply #84 on:** May 22, 2007, 11:02:39 PM »

I still wanna see that movie. I may have to dl it.

Beezy · « **Reply #85 on:** May 23, 2007, 12:32:05 AM »

I may have to download Ryu ga Gotoku and find a english walkthrough guide once I get a computer that can run the PS2 emulator...

Himu · « **Reply #86 on:** May 23, 2007, 01:02:06 AM »

If you have a pstwo, just dl it and get swap magic

Beezy · « **Reply #87 on:** May 23, 2007, 01:18:25 AM »

I got a pstwo, but what's swap magic? And wouldn't I have to burn the game on to a DVD? My old rig doesn't have a DVD burner.

Himu · « **Reply #88 on:** May 23, 2007, 01:18:50 AM »

It lets you play back ups and imports.

Here's an example of Yakuza's horrible battle system

Himu · « **Reply #92 on:** June 22, 2007, 05:42:56 PM »

Looks to me like someone just sucks.
