10 days didn't even pass between my post and the last post.

Not even 10 days.

Thread Necromancy is 30 days.

I looked at the date of the last post.

Chronicles was good but not great.

No it wasn't.

It was one of the biggest slaps in the face I've ever had in the 17-odd years this franchise has been going.
Yes, even bigger than 06.

It was bad enough that that was a completely unfinished, unprofessional mess, given that it was made by a company we all knew had been on a steep decline for more than 5 years anyway.

But Chronicles was made by BioWare, a supposedly AAA company, which has produced many very celebrated games, and who said repeatedly that they were big fans of the series, and that they really, really wanted to do it justice.
And it was JUST as half-arsed.

The graphics were sloppy.
The art was inconsistent.
The sound effects were nonsensical.
The plot was utter garbage.
Every gameplay mechanic was derived directly from something else (EBA + M&L) and/or poorly implemented.
They used STOLEN FUCKING MIDIS for music.
STOLEN. MOTHERFUCKING. MIDIS

Whoever it was that allowed such an absolute atrocity of a game to be released by a well-respected company should never be allowed to work in the industry again.

[edit] Er, sorry, went off on one a bit there. That really wasn't meant as a personal attack against you, magnum.

I actually liked Chronicles for a change. It served as a good story. The POW moves were good, plot was good, Music wasn't too bad, but it doesn't get an overall score of anything higher than an 8/10. I actually am giving the game a 7.5/10.

But I certainly would mind sequel to this. but until it actually gets a good start, but until it does I do mind. Probably they won't make another one.

Chronicles? Good Story? It had freaking alien things. Whatever happened to straightforward Eggy is the main bad dude plots? We had n00bs running around screaming "Chao" when everyone else was saying, no, it's a gay powerup system.



In my book, Unleashed deserves a 9. Nintendo Power underrates everything not Nintendo.



So Yahoo is full of BS, Chronicles is horrid, and Unleashed was a pretty good game, and look at how many people play SA2? I prefer Unleashed, but still.

Who here did not think... 'Neat...' when the got that Adventure field Emblem in Adventure1 by spin dashing on the roof of Tails Workshop to get to that cliff ledge? 

I sure thought neat.

I spent like 15 minutes trying to get it. That was when I was in second grade and new to the Gamecube. And video games in general.

Emerald Challenges / Re: ChaoguyDX's Emerald Challenges

The whole idea is to exploit the speed glitch in Oil Ocean in the green one.

The H@x0r challenges are all about glitches and such.

I'm determined to revive the emerald challenges, because they are such a good idea. So, I'm making my own.

The first set of challenges I will be making is the H@x0r challenges.

H@x0r Challenges

I don't have the emeralds done for them, but I will soon.

Rules:

• Debug mode is not only allowed, but recommended.
• That's it.

Green H@x0r Emerald: The first challenge you must do is a simple one. Go to Oil Ocean in Sonic 2 and use the increase speed glitch, then follow up with a transform into Super Sonic and complete the level with your super F***ing fast state.

Blue H@x0r Emerald: Skip to the end of the level in Hydrocity Act 2 using the glitch in this video as seen at 7:00

The .giz I made for getting the white chaos emerald.


I was very confused for some odd reason, hence the random running around.

I won, because I got a 1:00:something on Radical City and a 0:10:something:something on individual lap.

The phail. I thought I phailed on above times, so I didn't take a picture. So, I only have the 3 lap grand prix, because I can't claim the other.

Yea, This is Sonic R.

But for a newb question:

What are my choices for a recording when I can't get one that plugs into my TV and I don't have a video camera. Is there some way that I can plug something into my console, or can I take a picture of the time screen?

This is ChaoguyDX here and,

I'm quite into Sonic CD and Sonic R.

I plan to be submitting records, but at first, I'm betting they will be all anti-records at first.
