    Tried registering for a Square-Enix account twice, the email never came through.

    I like to think this is some godlike deity's way of saying "you don't need this shit on your plate right now, son. Turn back".

    I think I remember having the same problem. It either came in after a really long time (like a day or so), or I tried again another day. They need to fix that crap
    Turns out I had actually forgotten I signed up for the beta way back. I was able to log into my old account a moment ago, thankfully.

    That might have had something to do with it not sending or it might just be the system being screwy after all.

    Lilac's a dragon?

    Eh. Not like there's any standard dragon design in the first place. Can be anything from giant lizards to feather-winged snakes.

    Which is why she uses her hair in most her attacks. It's supposed to be as heavy as ropes and junk.

    Freedom Planet looks pretty awesome.

    Those cutscenes seem abit crazy long for a sonic inspired platformer though. Like ten minutes.

    They do offer a no-cutscenes version, if ever you want to just go through each stage without them.

    I hadn't seen the episode when I wrote this. I didn't even know how ironic that statement was.

    The horrors off the farm could hardly be contained and the eldritch horrors within needed space to roam. Eli with a stone look on his face emerged from the barn with materials in hand. The land would expand and sacrifices collected to tame the horrors he contains.

    HOLY SHIT THIS GAME IS AMAZING!

    Started playing as Carol, who is totally not Knuckles with kicking powers and totally does not wall climb like Knuckles. I love how distinct the two characters are from watching Lilac on stream and then playing Cat Thief Knuckles with a Motorcycle over here.

    I wish you could switch characters between acts, but it's all good.

  • vagrant_windsvagrant_winds Overworked Mysterious Eldritch Horror Hunter XX Registered User regular
    Why would I need to switch characters?

    I just beat two stages, a multi-battle miniboss, and a frantic boss battle at the end all while my character was riding her motorcycle.

    If Sega was paying attention at all anymore they would have bought up FP and just rebranded it as a sonic game.

  • PLAPLA The process.Registered User regular
    No, they would have bought the name and slapped it on a manbearpig with tankcontrols.

    I read a lot of stuff about Sega in my life, and not just forum posts, but books and stuff.
    Sega is a super fucking stupid company, overall. They just fucking suck as a home console corporation. Their only saving graces was the US branch with Tom "The most awesome game company president" Kalinski, and the old game developing teams. The entire Japanese leadership was dumb, incompetent and incapable of dealing with intelligent people or the videogame market. We could be playing the Sega Playstation 4 today if not for them. Sega had ONE successful home latform in their whole existence, and that was the Genesis, and only thanks to Kalinski and the EU market. Then they went on to piss all that off and accumulate blunder after blunder. Even when they finally made a good machine again, they fucked up.

    And the guys running Sega today are just as stupid, if not more.

    so yeah, don't expect any intelligent decisions from those guys.

    people generally seem to get a megaman x vibe from carol, while lilac has rocket knight/sparkster stuff going on

    milla's a whole other thing that doesn't seem to have a retro game analog beyond her yoshi jump

    I find it a bit amusing that they praise the feature where you can walk up a wall without needing to build up a big running start first, when such improbable wall physics were a strongly criticized part of Sonic 4.

    Of course, Freedom Planet stops short of allowing you to stand still on a wall if you stop moving while walking up it.

    That, and for Sonic 4 to have wonkier physics than the games it was trying to be a direct sequel to was quite a bit more noticeable and out of place.

  • TheySlashThemTheySlashThem Registered User regular
    I think it's because FP's wonky physics errs on the side of letting you keep moving, whereas sonic 4's wonky physics would frequently stop you dead in your tracks

    the TBF video should help, though

    When I first found that game awhile ago, I was shocked it was released back in july of 2014 and no one had made a peep about it since then.

    So weird that there isn't anymore Bloodborne LP. A shame, because since I'm not playing it anymore I guess the game is officially on hibernation until the DLC.

    I'm looking forward to the Best Friend's Beat Up Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. That isn't even an "if" statement. My brain refuses to believe that they won't go there.

    (And that game is REALLY good.)

    These guys have made episode 4 of Samurai Jack unintentionally hilarious to me.

    Especially the bit with the guy calling himself the "eldest of Woolies".
