| I don't talk to people about gaming because gamers are scum. That's a joke, but let's be real, I've got very little in common with someone who loves Ass Creed, CoD, Fallout 4 or any number of other games with big marketing budgets that the crowd flocks to. It's not about the area that you live in, e... |

| I played a little bit of Hollow Knight but I'm really not feeling it. I'm far from averse to metroidvania style games, but from what I played there is an overabundance of straight line level design and basic platforming. The lack of colour variance or saturation is really unappealing to me, I don't ... |

| I used to have an Xperia Play, the Sony phone with a slide-out gamepad and support for PS1 games through an official emulator. I played on that one a lot and had a bunch of retro emulators installed. Nowadays I have a handful of games installed and haven't played most of those. The Sonic ports are g... |

| ^^^^ being nice always helps, thank you Froya! And if anyone wants to talk that'd also be lovely, I feel a little better now but I have a feeling this is going to keep coming back to me and I doubt I'm going to sleep very well tonight :\ |

| I've been on the edge for a while and I learnt something that has pushed me over. I haven't felt like this in a while, I've been miserable but I didn't think I could really cry anymore, I've spent today in a delirious haze, started seriously considering suicide, talking to myself, I get these flashe... |

| My husband and I still laugh about the time I told him that if he kept playing EverQuest that day I was going to "whip the disc out the window" because I didn't know it didn't need the disc/was on the hard drive. We had been dating for a year or less and I didn't want to compete with a ga... |

| The absolute worst of this is PS4 games (maybe Xbox One too?) requiring the disk in the system despite installing the entire game to the hard drive. I suppose the disk check is necessary for people who want to take the disk to a friend's console without allowing them to essentially pirate the game. ... |

| I've got Tales of Symphonia on my laptop, but I haven't started it yet. It's great but a few things to remember. You'll get a better experience if you download the unofficial fix: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SpecialK_Mods funny enough, Namco actually patched the game to integrate those fixes,... |

I'm just no good at memorising and pulling off long aerial combos, memorising frame data or even general ideas on what and when to punish, basically anything remotely advanced Also been replaying Tales of Symphonia on PC (the art style scales really we... |

| I stopped playing the sonic games the first time they went 3D You know Mania is basically the same as the old Mega Drive games, though? Slightly enhanced but still the same visual style and gameplay. It's like the real sequel they should have gotten on the Saturn. Though I'll admit to liking the 3D... |

| I'll be honest. I'm overly intelligent & spend all of my time thinking of how I can be nice to my SO. And like every other man, I am spurned constantly, and increasingly believe that women are monsters spawned to test us. |

| Obviously, Christian Whitehead's work recreating the original games' physics, visuals and feel is praiseworthy to an extreme. If that's who I think it is, he reverse-engineered everything by disassembling Sonic 2. I'm not sure exactly what he did, but his work was made without access to any source ... |

| I've been playing Sonic Mania even more. I was pretty unfair in my second sesh, I played through the second half of the game while tired off my nut but I've now done two further playthroughs as Knuckles and Tails. I plan to do a Knuckles & Knuckles playthrough next, and then hit some time trials... |

| Sonic Mania Here's the second half of my Sonic Mania review, having now finished the latter half of the game. Honestly, it was disappointing. They ran out of time and it really shows. There are no intros or outros to the levels, whereas the first half was very careful to establish reasons for your ... |

| Sonic Mania Essentially it's the Saturn sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles that never happened, but with the caveat that most of the stages are remixed versions of levels from 1, CD, 2 and 3&K. That's not a complaint because my favourite levels are the remixes, which begin very similarly to the o... |
