▲ 41 ▼ Why do Sonic games not have kickass intros with butt rock theme songs anymore? (hexbear.net) submitted 2 weeks ago by ashinadash@hexbear.net to c/games@hexbear.net 62 comments fedilink hide all child comments Official post (which disavows Roger Craig Smith) Seriously why. Sonic and the Black Knight was the last one and it was also the last time you could beat the final boss to a kickaas buttrock theme song. Why don't we have this anymore?

The game is hugely oversold online, pitched as being a great story but it has maaaybe ten cutscenes tops? It is better to play than Secret Rings, but the onrails sword combat is still kind of bad. It's over in under five hours if you're good though. I think if you miss the 4kids voice cast, or more broadly when Sonic was 'cringe and anime' it might be an okay afternoon. It has less charm than Adventure 2 and less brave ambition than Shadow '05. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] mrfugu@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children) does it need motion controls to play?

A lot of Sonic games get lost in the sauce trying to do too much, but BK is in the camp of "do one thing decently well for a decently long campaign". The English voice acting grates on me in the worst way but you can set it to Japanese so that stops being an issue fast, plus if the gameplay clicks for you iirc there's a ton of side content to play. My general take is that Sonic games are better than people give them credit for and I think SatBK is a solid 7/10 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] ashinadash@hexbear.net [S] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) This post has been FACT CHECKED and CONFIRMED TRUE by REAL JUN'ICHI KANEMARU PATRIOTS permalink fedilink source parent
