Things I didn't know until today: Bioware made a horrible Sonic RPG for the DS
GalacticBattler
how would you make a Sonic RPG that WASN'T terrible?
xyzzy
I don't know!
GalacticBattler
Turn based standing-in-a-line mechanics are the very antithesis of Sonic the Hedgehog
GalacticBattler
nice spritework, though

Haha. I actually bought Chronicles when it came out. Yeah, a turn by turn gameplay kinda goes against Sonic the Hedgehog. The story itself is meant to resemble more of the comics than any semblance of
lazy loafer
continuity. It's... not that great, sure, but not the worst thing ever kill it with fire.
lazy loafer
Kinda glad they didn't make the sequel they were preparing for.
GalacticBattler
also
GalacticBattler
BIOWARE!?!
xyzzy

wheee
Dragomorph
I remember people were SUPER EXCITED when it was announced.
Dragomorph
Sadly...
lazy loafer
I was one of them!
xyzzy
so physics
lazy loafer
But c'est la vie.

It could've gone well. Maybe had they done something a little more innovative than the average turn by turn mechanic.
lazy loafer
It's playing it safe,s ure, but in this context, it's doomed to fail.
Tonberry King
Hmmmm, so they built it similar to Super Mario RPG then?
xyzzy
Like it doesn't look bone-crushingly horrible
xyzzy
just kind of weird and Bioware what
xyzzy
I would have ignored it had it not been made by them
GalacticBattler
It features a complex morality system
xyzzy
It does, actually, in the sense that there are dialogue trees
GalacticBattler
If you make evil choices then you start turning into Dr. Robotnik
lazy loafer
Which I consider a good end in my book.
GalacticBattler
If you try to go down the middle, you end the game as some sort of horrible abomination combination of the two
lazy loafer
Who wouldn't want to be him? Honestly.
xyzzy
I'm imagining a Two-Face type character who is Sonic on one side and Robotnik on the other side
xyzzy
and it's the worst thing possible
GalacticBattler
Especially since Robotnik is like twice as tall as Sonic
lazy loafer
Great, now I have to draw it.

crawling towards the viewer, looking up with a twisted scowl of agony

saying "YOU CREATED MEEEEE"
Coffee Zombie
I was going to make a joke about potentially banging every side-character and thought it too much. YOU GUYS HAVE GLEEFULLY DANCED ACROSS THAT LINE, HOWEVER. XD
GalacticBattler
Lines are meant to be crossed
xyzzy
Apparently correctly navigating the dialogue trees can get Amy to admit that she made up her new boyfriend to try and make Sonic jealous
lazy loafer
my life is now complete
xyzzy
It's a self-loathing elemental
xyzzy
Every cell of this twisted creature begs for death.

Select your rifle, then select your Robonic.
