The Jak series is awesome fuck you Remy XP lol.
I love hte Ratchet & Clank games a lot. Sly Cooper is good, not my favorite but I own and beat all 3.
But Jak & Daxter is terrible. The first game was really bland. It was like Super Mario 64 (which is also massively overrated), only a lot less interesting, unique, or varied. Jak 2 and 3 are where the series really fails though. They’re like a pastiche of tons of other kinds of games, but none of it really implemented well or put together cohesively. The GTA elements are pointless, slow down game progression, and feel like an attempt to make the series appeal to the casual GTA crowd. But then the vehicles also control like ass. They stole the Devil Trigger from Devil May Cry, but it’s useless because it takes forever to charge and cannot be activated except when full nor deactivated early, plus nothing in the game is really threatening enough to make it worth busting out anyway. The rifle cannot be aimed for crap. The minigun does shit for damage. Once you get the Peacemaker, there is no reason to use any other weapon because it homes, kills almost everything in one hit, releases chain lightning on detonation, and enemies will only drop ammo that you need so if you have full ammo on the other guns all the time, you always get more Peacemaker ammo. And the platforming levels (the one part of the game that I kept hoping would redeem it since that’s my favorite genre) were still pretty bland most of the time, just like the first game. Oh yeah, and you also have to put up with protection and defense missions, one of the most annoying types of missions ever.
this was posted in the random image thread…figured you guys would get a kick out of this as well.

On the topic of developers handling Sonic, I’d like to see what Insomniac would do.
Hey, no worries. Plenty of other talented developers exist that could theoretically take a shot. Though I imagine you’d take Naughty Dog over Sonic Team any day of the week. :bgrin:
I would personally like to see what SONIC TEAM would do, give them maybe a year or two off from Sonic and let the creative juices flow. But that won’t happen, so long as he is needed at the Olympic games!
Yes because we all know Mario can beat Sonic in the 100 meter dash…
Holoska DLC adventure pack is out for the 360. Still no sign of a ps3 DLC. PS3 did get the patch though which fixes some glitches and frame rate issues.

PS3 had damned well better get that DLC. Those day levels look pretty solid.
The one thing I give Unleashed is that Sega’s DLC schedule for it is pretty solid. It was already a complete game, so these new stages are like icing on the cake.
God damn…I’m sure I would have shit my pants trying to run through those levels the first time and trying to pour on the speed. These new day time stages look like so much fun to master. It’s also good that they’re sorta acknoledging that the daytime stages are the main draw and doing more of those…One can only hope that this time they’re get a clue.
There are rumors on SEGA’s forums that the DLC will be coming to PS3 soon.
Never said sandopolis had the best music, just said it was really good :wonder:
Flying battery is really good too and superior to sandopolis. You are definitely right about that. My favorite song is Ice Cap act 2 though.
Sonic Team doesn’t deserve the chance. They made one good Sonic game: Sonic 1 on the Genesis. The other great Sonic games (Sonic 2 and 3/K, and some of the Advance/Rush games) were made by other studios.
As for non-Sonic properties, Sonic Team made the incredibly fun, revolutionary, and heavily flawed Phantasy Star Online. The flaws were, for the most part, never addressed, and many made their way into every other PSO port, ensuring that PSO’s final legacy is one of mediocrity. I didn’t even make it past the character creation screen in the PSU demo, but watching my brother play it makes me glad the character creation is where I stopped. Phantasy Star was destroyed by Sonic Team. Pray–PRAY–that they’re never given the reigns on Valkyria Chronicles.
Sonic Team’s Astroboy pailed in comparison to Treasure’s GBA Astroboy, which is one of the finest recent 2D games ever made and needs to be played right now. The Nights sequel was defended by fanboyism and zealotry (like many Sonic Team titles) but every reviewer pointed out the exact same flaws.
Sonic Team doesn’t deserve a break. They don’t deserve praise, they don’t deserve an endless supply of second chances. If I ever took over Sega, Sonic Team would be immediately let go, and I’d be STRONGLY tempted to give the entire team two middle fingers. They’re incompetent, and as long as consumers reward their incompetence with money, they’ll continually get away with it.

whats stopping you from applying for a position…you make a valid point…
don’t disappoint me specs…
If specs got a job at Sega it’d be in the American branch…and they’re not the one causing the problems. They moved everyone of sonic team to Japan and we all know that what they say goes regardless of how retarded it is.
Edit:
that is of course unless specs is quite fluent in Japanese and is gonna move over there.
I would support you specs. Just please no outsourcing to Naughty Dog.
If Sonic Team goes, that means Phantasy Star might see a revival of zero suckage too.
I support this endeavor.
That’s awesome.
best sonic game for me was sonic 3 and sonic & knuckles combined and playing through all of that and getting the super emeralds
That was the best, come back 1994
