I played some more Unleashed today. I wish that the stage select marked which levels you still needed bonus content out of. And seriously Chip needs to shut the fuck up.

But damn the game is so fun to play. I can’t wait to try the PS3 version as well.

If you think Chip is bad now, wait until the end of the game. Lets just say that its a good thing, for my TV’s sake, that I don’t own a gun.

I watched some videos, I was doubtful that chip was THAT annoying.
I was wrong,he is a new breed of annoying.

how did the developers not notice how awful his character is or how dumb it is that the game just stops so he can tell you that you cant enter a door after pushing it?

this game would’ve been godlike if they had put in the online multiplayer from Sonic Rush Adventure. leaderboards for time attacking are ok i guess but no netplay makes me sad.

oh well, it also makes me more determined than ever to finish this . . .

So by general consensus, is this game a step in the right direction in bringing Sonic back to form?

I may end up copping this game at some point.

Oh yeah it’s a step in the right direction sans Werehog and honestly Werehog ain’t that bad. Most of us have already said this before though. I’m starting to wonder if they’re going to use anything from what they’ve learned from Unleashed on Black Knight now…

I’ll tell ya what though…reviewers are ripping into Werehog something fierce at the moment…just as I thought they would lol.

Chip = Super Navi

instead of ‘HEY!’ ‘LISTEN’ ‘WATCH OUT!’ it’s ‘HEY LOOK THERE’S A LEVER FOR THAT DOOR’ ‘LISTEN DO YOU WANT SOME CHOCOLATE!?’ ‘WATCH OUT FOR THAT OBVIOUS LEDGE YOU CAN GRAB ONTO!’

I still haven’t beaten the game quite yet…sorta disappointed that Shadow or Knux didn’t at least make one appearance and give Sonic hell about his new form in some way lol.

Edit:
oh yeah forgot to say sorry guys on my screwing up of the 360 date of this game. I thought it was supposed to be the following week after the Wii version but it was actually a couple days afterwards. But the ps3 version isn’t due to be shipped till Dec. 12

Knuckles-"you look retarded"
Werehog-…:shake::sad:

oh shit sonic awesome eating establishment i eat there regularly but they can do the job cause fuckers wouldn’t hire me

:rofl:

Hell yes. The running stages are amazing, totally where these series should’ve been all along. And even the werehog shit isn’t bad. It’s quite fun and a nice change of pace. The only thing is, it’s probably better to get the PS360 version if you can, as that one has more running stages than the Wii/PS2 version.

Also story is ass. But what the fuck ever. The levels are fun.

Its been a long time since I played a sonic game I think I’ll rent this one looks like it might be good.

…I wanna play Empire City…:frowning:

I’m talking to a friend of mine about the 360 version and holy shit there’s more differences than I thought.

apparently 360 has to search for the sun and moon medals in the stage while wii just earns them for completing the missions on the stage…sometimes depending on what rank they get on it.

Werehog has more moves in 360 version

Sonic isn’t limited to just doing bursts of speed in 360 like in Wii

Sonic actually gets items like light speed shoes and what not in 360 version where as Wii Sonic is equiped with this stuff at the start of the game.

Sonic actually runs on the water in 360 where as in wii he ‘slides’

Sonic looks like he has less ‘pause’ between doing homing attacks in 360 version… in comparison to wii.

apparently day sonic also gets experience in 360 ver and not just Werehog

…reviewers must reeeeally hate hub worlds cause it sounds like the 360/ps3 version is superior to me right now lol

^^^Damn!! after that I want to play that game, too! There are way too many reasons stacking up for me to get a 360.

Jesus christ watching people S rank the day stages is AWESOME

‘MOVE BITCH…GET OUT THE WAY!’ those people should have gotten flattened lol

Edit once again:

I didn’t know that chip actually doesn’t completely halt your gameplay to tell you something in the 360 version…o.o

evidence at 3:18

Also apparently you can do qte sequences on the enemies in the 360 version and not just the bosses…also in the vid at 5:29

Question to people playing this on the 360. Does the sidestep behave in a manner where it will shift sonic to one of three positions? What I mean is that from every video I see it seems that in the behind sonic segments there is a middle, a right and a left, does the side step shift you into a discrete position or is it arbitrary and, quite honestly, useless like it was in the Wii version?*

*It had its uses but in most stages it had little to no practical purpose.

I didn’t understand the annoyance some of you had towards Chip until I watched gameplay footage of the Wii version, lol goddamn. He doesn’t bother me at all in the 360 version. Does the Wii have the option for Japanese VA’s as well?

lol no…we got shafted hardcore.

Is Chip more annoying than omochao from SA2?

Chip looks like an optional annoyance in the 360 version and instead of being a Super Navi he gets taken down to Tikal status from SA1 You don’t have to listen to him if you don’t activate the question marks.

Edit:

the videos I posted above sort of answer that question…It looks like it’s only specific spots when he’s on a wall…but he can still move side to side from what I’ve seen so far with the control stick when on the ground. And it’s most certainly not useless in the 360 version. I actually use it pretty well in the wii version as well but it doesn’t quite feel like a necessity as it does in the 360 judging from the videos. That shit is fuckin ridiculous.
