I'm starting to think bad reviews are actually a good thing, most times I buy a game with bad reviews I end up being blown away by the game, Like ZombiU. Maybe because they lower my expectation? Possibly.]

@bowandlyre Well I quit paying attention to reviews from IGN since they can be a mix with some of there reviews and sometimes act a bit stupid
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 01:51:10 UTC from web-
@electroidfire Some IGN reviwers can suck a tank, They are so predigiuose or whatever, they think they're so smart because they find a minimal fault in a game and over exaggerate it.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 01:52:44 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre Mostly look at Meta critic scores to see how good the game is since I think it's a bit more accurate then IGN.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 01:54:00 UTC from web-
@electroidfire >using Metacritic to judge game quality. (I've heard stories that Metacritic is really bad about misrepresenting scores that don't use a straight 1-# system and being unwilling to work with the sites/magazines giving said reviews.)
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 01:55:32 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Yeah,that is true.mostly the only youtube reviewer I watch now is Classic Game Room

@electroidfire If it's on Wii U I check the Miiverse Posts to see if it's good but if it's on any other console I just look up Youtube vids to see if I like what I see worked with Madworld and No more heroes XD

@bowandlyre I like reading bad reviews of games I like and getting angry about it. (One of the perks of being a Sonic fan: I get to do this all the time)
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 01:51:15 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Especially Sonic game disasters like Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 01:52:06 UTC from web -
@redenchilada Also good reviews of games that I used to think were good and now I know better. Did you know Nintendo Power gave Shadow the Hedgehog an 8.0? :V
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 01:52:32 UTC from web -
@redenchilada I love Sonic but colors and 06 are boring to me
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 01:54:41 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre I swear, I feel like a minority for disliking Colors. (And for liking the DS version.)
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 01:56:02 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Colors was just... Ah I expected to run as fast as ususal but stopping for 2D platforming every 10 seconds was boring.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 01:58:27 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre Yeah exactly. That and the wisps just really weren't made to flow well. (Planet Wisp Act 2 in Generations carried over a lot of those design traits, too, which aggrivated me. Probably my least favorite Modern Sonic level in that game, though it's not as bad as Colors was :T)
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:00:07 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I never played Generations I plan to, for modern sonic games, I actually liked unleashed, Black knight, secrets rings and Rivals 1 and 2
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:02:05 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre Generations' Modern half is like the day stages of Unleashed except with the fun parts of Colors thrown in. Classic era felt like the old games but with more speed, not to Rush series levels though. Very fun.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:04:22 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I gotta get it soon

@bowandlyre Actually, one of my issues with it was how controls were handled. The separate modes for drift and quickstep felt incredibly limiting and so obviously done just so they could throw it support for the Wiimote sideways control scheme. Ticked me off to be unable to drift when I wanted to, or unable to boost when I wanted to, or unable to quickstep when I wanted to... >:(
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:01:58 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Colors was just to boring In my opinion love the soundtrack though
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:03:48 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre Oh, if you're not counting spinoffs there hasn't been a Sonic game with a bad soundtrack yet. (Chronicles' soundtrack was lol)

@bowandlyre, I don't. I would say I hate how he's popular for making such easy, meaningless content, but I watch let's players so I can't really talk.

@bowandlyre, I disagree on the funny/entertaining part, but that's subjective, so whatever. And on the whole work thing, does he actually do work for his show anymore? Doesn't he have a team of writers?
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:30:47 UTC from web-
@mastertdi He left maker studios a while ago, so no scripts I think. And on the funny/entertaining thing I disagree he's hialariouse imo
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:33:50 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre, oh yeah I read about that somewhere. But I still don't think he deserves to be #1. Not his main channel at least, since anyone could do what he does (and do it better, in my opinion). If he has to be most subbed, I'd prefer it to be his music channel, which needs much more effort to make.

@bowandlyre, weeeeeeeell, his fans are pretty obnoxious. So, sure thing.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:42:16 UTC from web-
@mastertdi Dude is greedy as hell he's a good guy I know bit he started let's plays when he saw people got paid for it not because he loves games
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:43:31 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre, really? I never even gave his gaming channel a look. And I can't really speak for his main channel but Cute Win Fail is pretty bad.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:45:32 UTC from web-
@mastertdi cute win fail seems like a copy of =3, He only plays popular games that will get him a lot of views, if an anticipated game comes out the same day it comes out you'll see a video from him playing it
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:47:50 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre, or make one of those lyric trailer thingies for it.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:49:52 UTC from web-
@mastertdi That's ok because it's funny to some extent but playing games for money and not because you love gaming is stupid to me.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:53:00 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre, yeah, that's what ruins a channel, when you're making content for anything but actually WANTING to do it.

@bowandlyre YES!!!! He's incredibly lame.

@fluttershy626 He's also on annoying orange FOR NO FLIPPING REASON
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:48:17 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre Yeah, I never understood that either! He's a LPer that pollutes the community with his crap.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:52:24 UTC from web-
@fluttershy626 I thought Let's Plays were always bad anyway
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:53:21 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Depends on who you watch. Everyone that turns out popular usually sucks. but there are some amazing ones out there.

@fluttershy626 He doesn't deserve the title "LPer" In my opinion Chuggaaconroy is an LPer he is not
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:54:09 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre I agree. I've worked hard to get where i am on youtube (which is basically no where to be honest) and these people who have no passion for it just drive me nuts.

@redenchilada I flipping LOVE Chronicles I hate how the sequel was canceled... -_-
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:08:52 UTC from web-
@bowandlyre It was an ok RPG. I actually played through it like four times trying to get everything. My file's missing one or two chao and a few scattered rings, but after a while it got boring playing OHKO: The Game.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:10:34 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, I liked the POW moves. It was fun ruining all the enemies' attacks so they always missed you.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:12:30 UTC from web-
@mastertdi Cream with whatever item made those automagically succeed was so OP. Free no-risk MP restoration is a totally broken ability.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:14:51 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, I remember neither of those things. I just remember screwing up their attacks. But Cream sucks, so I probably agree with you.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:17:08 UTC from web-
@mastertdi Cream was an "optional" character you got in Green Hill at some point (I say optional because it's really the only good way to play the game). If I advanced the story far enough on my last playthrough I can get the name of the item it was. Lemme go check real quick.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:18:44 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, oh I know about how you get her. I spent a good while finding the Chao or whatever on that side quest. Same for getting Omega, who had some horrible stat disadvantage, from what I remember.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:21:12 UTC from web-
@mastertdi Oh, ok. I don't remember using Omega much either, heh.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:21:41 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, I like Omega, which is why I spent an hour trying to get him. Then he died super fast on the final boss and I felt betrayed.

@mastertdi Oh yeah, it was a chao. Not an item.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:24:23 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, I think the chao were cool in that game? The garden was meh though.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:26:08 UTC from web-
@mastertdi But srs, Ferox is OP. Nerf pls
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:27:46 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, ooh, that is quite bad. But at least it's unique I guess? That's... something.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:32:02 UTC from web-
@mastertdi That's just the rarity level, and it's still easy to get one. I have three, even, and save scumming makes getting one easily doable pretty early in the game.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:33:28 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, huh, I coulda sworn "unique" meant, well, "unique". I don't remember getting that particular chao anyhow, woulda been a lifesaver though.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:35:50 UTC from web-
@mastertdi I had one at... I wanna say chapter 7? I don't remember how the chapters were split in the second half of the game. It definitely happened before the second or so location in that half. (Might've even been the first half, I don't remember.) I grabbed a lot of the chao eggs when I played it, they gave enough benefits to make getting a bunch almost a prerequisite for beating the game.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:38:07 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, yeah, I always tried to collect everything before I moved on from each area. Chaos were the thing that would make or break my team, in my experience. That and healing items, whatever they were called.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:40:51 UTC from web-
@mastertdi They're called "Cream with Ferox equipped". You seriously never need to buy another item once you have them. (Which is nice if you ever /do/ need healing/MP restoration in a NG+, since you barely have any rings the second and onward times through the game.)
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:42:17 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, why Cream, exactly? What POWs did she have?
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:43:17 UTC from web-
@mastertdi She was the White Mage of the game. She has the HP restoration, MP restoration (which heals all characters for more than its cost, so it's self-sustaining), haste, etc. Easily the most broken character in the game with Ferox equipped to remove the chance of her moves failing, and the only staple character in my whole party. (Aside from Sonic who's forced into the first slot iirc anyway, so)
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:45:14 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Actually it might not heal all characters, but it restores enough MP (or whatever the game called it) to be self-sustaining so you can just make her use it on herself and you'll still never run out.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:47:49 UTC from web -
@redenchilada, oooooohhh. I was never one for finding those sorts of techniques. I never used Cream because I didn't like her character, same with Tails. I think my team was always Sonic, Knuckles, aaaaaand... Rouge/Amy and Shadow? Something like that.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:48:23 UTC from web-
@mastertdi Strategy, man. My other characters were usually decided based on who I liked more/needed for some sidequest, but Cream is the only bona-fide irreplaceable character in the game.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:49:39 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, I'll keep that in mind if I ever play it again, but I'll have to grind her like crazy since I never took her out of the character select thingy. Also I just remembered the way Eggman moved in the overworld. That made me laugh.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:52:01 UTC from web-
@mastertdi Eggman has a history of hilarious walks. I never used him in Chronicles though, so I wouldn't know anything about that. :<
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:52:55 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, I would have used him more if he didn't stay on Earth when you went to planet whocares. He and Tails could work together to OHKO any robot, I think.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:54:15 UTC from web-
@mastertdi Oh yeah, that'd explain why I never used him, heh. Most of my playtime was in the second half of the game (AKA the good half)
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:54:56 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, I quit right into the second half for a couple years because the first boss on the Angel Island place was too tough for me. Back when that was the sorta thing I'd rage quit a game over instead of just grinding my arse off.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:56:52 UTC from web-
@mastertdi The game wasn't that hard to me until the endgame. Took me a few retries to get the final boss >_> And then NG+ was a joke.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:57:49 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, it was hard for me because I never levelled up anymore than I had to to progress. Every learning curve I just went straight-up NOPE after two or so tries. I am not a good gamer.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 02:59:53 UTC from web-
@mastertdi I just fought who I saw while I was running around doing all the quests and grabbing all the rings, so I was pretty good on levels. I'm usually not that good at level management in RPGs. (Needing lots of different characters for different quests also helped me keep everyone caught up. :v)
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 03:01:42 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, I collected all the rings and eggs, avoiding as many enemies as I could, and then getting to the next boss expecting it to be no harder than the enemies I'd already faced. The only game I've ever gone for a fight everything approach is Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, which I'm currently playing through.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 03:05:28 UTC from web-
@mastertdi "avoiding enemies" Yeah that's your problem. Don't avoid enemies in an RPG. They're there to give you loot and EXP. :|
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 03:08:35 UTC from web-
@redenchilada, I know that now. I wasn't even a tween when I played through the game the first time, I don't think. I never grinded in Pokémon either which is why I never completed a game without Action Replay.
Sunday, 13-Jan-13 03:10:27 UTC from web -
@redenchilada SKIP ALL ENEMIES.
