    But Fatal Labyrinth was a fun grind of a rpg maze explore

    I believe the Phantasy Star games are on Steam. You'll probably be able to get them for like 80 cents each when the Steam sale starts.

    Only 2-4, actually. But yes, pretty cheap.

    Your mentioning this made me look up the final boss theme of Phantasy Star IV.

    Apparently there is a techno-orchestral remix of that theme for a late-game superboss in Phantasy Star Online 2.

    I am now increasingly miserable that that game never got a legitimate English version.

    EDIT: And, comically, the thing that set off the conversation in the Video Game Music thread was the same Youtube video that I independently discovered after thinking I wanted to hear the final boss theme of Phantasy Star IV. :V

    It was the first roguelike I've played.

    What about Fatal Rewind though?

    I played them as 3 1 2 then got 4
    I was mad that sega made a collection of them for the Saturn only in Japanese at the time I did not know


    I just remember getting beyond mad at Fatal rewind for some of the BS deaths I had to endure

    I did not even know what a roguelike was until recently I just remember walking around the maze trying to wear off food and make the monsters get stuck against a wall more than anything

    sonic forces is going to be really dumb but at least the gameplay looks like it is indeed basically sonic generations 2, which I'm fine with

    mania keeps looking better and better the more I see of it, though

    I'm excited for Sonic Forces and will play it if it reviews even a little bit positively. That fucking Legion of Doom bad guy lineup this game has going for it and that bullshit new big bad design sold me on the spot.
    actually the Kirby-ass boss that Classic Sonic fights is what sold me on it but whatever

    The only eyebrow raising thing is the mention of Chemical Plant. I'm all for reappearances of classic stages but this is essentially Generations 2, they've had years to create it and it seems like a waste to feature that stage again when there's plenty other Sonic 2 stages to show off. Why not Oil Ocean if they need an industrial place?

    Oh brilliant

    The only thing I really need for Forces is a voice volume slider because jesus god shut up

    It's like Kid Icarus Uprising in there

    That gameplay looks really unexciting to me.

    Also yeah the pal chatter rate was way too much. And I kind of hate that Silver is a character who is not consigned to the abyss.

    Meh. Silver's got potential outside of his own game.

    Even though he makes no sense outside of his game. What, did the Supreme Kai of Time take him outside of the timeline?

    I liked his boss fight in Generations.

    the crisis city levels in generations were pretty good?

    Silver and Shadow are both fucking terrible

    Sonic was already supposed to be a hedgehog with 'tude

    At some point it's like that 'tude wasn't strong enough, so they had to keep upping the ante in really dumb ways

    Big the Cat may be a piece of shit, but at least he's his own piece of shit

    Silver and Shadow are just fucking Sonic+ and Sonic++

    The Generations Crisis City is still really bad. It's better than the original, but by a very slim margin.

    It really seems like the terrible level design just cannot be removed even with a Generations remake.

    Silver is PhysicsSonic to show off all the new cool physics stuff that was all the rage in the mid 2000s.

    We can only hope; at least that wasn't as repetitive as "It's a homing attack! It's a homing attack! It's a homing attIt's aIt's aIt's aIt's a homing attack!"

    As for Silver, always wanted to see him get his own game, like the Mega Man X to Sonic's Mega Man... though I guess in some ways, Modern Sonic already is the Mega Man X to Classic Sonic's Mega Man Classic.

    Looks it has potential, soundtrack seemed pretty kicking, if nothing else.
