sticks in boom is very much anti government and a social outcast,
If I learned anything from antifa, is that being anti government and a social outcast doesn't make you racist. So moot point.
Sticks would absolutely blame niggers and jews for everything wrong with the world constantly
Sticks is as schizophrenic as a /pol/ poster doe that's true so maybe?
 
Sticks lives in the jungle and chucks spears at things. She hates the man and his attempts at getting her to conform with "proper" civilization. She does unacceptable things in public with no consideration for others. Sticks will say whatever the fuck she wants whenever the fuck she wants.

Final Chase is too dark. Looks way more nicer in the original.

The Bullet Station remix sucks ass. original is 100% better in every way

Kingdom Valley is the only stage that looks better, but then again improving on Sonic 06 is not a hard feat. I'd be surprised if they found a way to fuck it up even more.
 
On a scale from 0 to 10 how accurate is this tier list?

Cream is very poorly placed

I don’t mind the Bullet Station remix, I don’t think the music in this game has been particularly interesting or great but at least it isn’t Modern Radical Highway or Tropical Resort levels of bad. I do dig the one remix of Throw It All Away they used in the Summer Games Fest demo menu but unfortunately no one has a version of it that goes past the first five seconds.
On the other hand I don’t really dig the way Kingdom Valley looks. I might sound a bit crazy, but there’s this phenomenon with new games where everything has this weird, clayish feeling to it. I think it has to do with games mainly using real time lighting for everything. Anyways, it’s especially noticeable in this stage in spots like the rocks and dirt. There’s also this weird mist covering the water below.
The non-Japanese physical release will also be receiving the Japanese cover art as a reversible option.

You're not crazy because I notice it too. It's more noticeable when they do this in remakes of older games, for some reason devs love to abuse the fuck out of the lighting effects in their engine, and considering almost everyone uses either Unity or Unreal, it get's to a point where they all look alike and are just either copying each other's homework or doing the bare minimum with very little to no tweaking.

You can't ever have a compromise anymore, it's always one of the following:
  • Too much light, not enough shadows, your eyes are melting
  • Too much shadows, not enough light, you can't see shit
  • Saturation is too low, characters look pale as fuck]
  • Saturation is too high, every color is in your face
  • Blacks aren't true blacks so in certain games where you're not supposed to see shit hiding in the shadows, you can totally see what's in the shadows
Essentially it's this scene

I've been following Penders closer for the first time in a while lately, mainly because he actually released something. even if it is mostly reprints, his 30 pages of new horrors didn't disappoint. anywhore, has had me in a Sonic mood for a month or two and I decided to play some full fan games because I don't have any consoles hooked up at the moment really, and I can only play S3&K so many fucking times in my life. I also beat Sonic Adventure again and played a little of SA2 but wanted something different. I went through the whole console series right before Frontiers came out so that wasn't really that long ago. so as far as fan games, I played before and after the sequel like 15 years ago. right after Sonic CD got re-released on PS3, I made a friend buy that, played it then played those two fan games. I liked them and was considering replaying them but heard they're a pain in the ass to run nowadays so I couldn't be bothered. I play Sonic Robo Blast 2 all the time. that game rules. I like a lot of the character mods. it's fun playing as AoStH sonic or tails, archie characters or saturn esque polygon characters.

so I played: the Sonic Master System remakes, very good. I had the Game Gear versions of those first two games. played em a shit ton at night as a kid because my older brothers game gear had a backlight so it came in handy. nice little blast from the past. B+

Triple Trouble 16-Bit: the other game gear games I played through on Sonic Mega Collection Plus on ps2. but that was 20 years ago or something. couldn't remember dick about the original game, this game however, fucking rules. everything everyone says about it is true. I might like it more than Mania, no shit. if you told me this was the sequel to Mania I would believe it. best game I played out of these. A+

Sonic Time Twisted: pretty good. it's like if Sonic CD fucked Sonic 3 or something. some of it irritated me but I mostly had fun with it. B

Sonic & The Fallen Star: man this game is fucking gorgeous. has good physics and gameplay too, however the level design fucking sucks. while just looking at it I want to call it my favorite but the level design is pedestrian as fuck. A+ for presentation C for game itself.

Sonic GT: Sega, hire this motherfucker. needs some polish and improvement in some places, but this is exactly what I want 3D sonic levels to be like holy shit this dude figured out how the branching paths in the 2D games could actually be translated well. super fucking cool. super dope sense of speed. some sort of force fucked human centipede of this and frontiers where these are what the actual levels are like would be sick. (that being said, hey sega when you make frontiers 2, don't forget the music when I am wandering around and for the love of god do something about that atrocious art design. make it look like sonic you retards). I'm not particularly a fan of modern sonic writing but this game's dialogue is great it feels like an episode of Sonic BOOM some of it made me laugh all the characters were pretty on point. A+

Sonic Omens: apparently this game is very hated and very controversial because the dev team kept development updates behind a patreon, and apparently the Maria model in game is wearing panties that say "bad girl" that you can't see in the game but somehow people found that out. which I guess is just a weird joke, Idk the people who made it are russian maybe they're just a bunch of pedophiles out there I don't know, it isn't funny but I also don't give a shit. This game is fucking weird. it looks very good. you could have told me it was the next game after unleashed (it is supposed to be storywise) from sega and I'd probably believe you. the voice acting sucks, but the cutscenes are very nice. the story is unintentionally hilarious it's grimdark in really retarded ways that had me cracking up throughout. that little faggot kid from Sonic X is grown and a gun agent and shit there's weird stuff in here. the sonic levels are pretty good but really basic. the tails levels are a crime against humanity though it's the worst flying a ship controls I have ever experienced. the boss fights are also too long. it's 7 episodes long which is probably like 20 levels total or something so good on them for making a game that takes longer to beat than forces. very ambitious, almost awesome but the ship levels and the wonky fan game physics along with how linear the paths are hold it down. I actually dug the weird ass story because it was just odd. A for presentation and ambition C- for game. it's wonky bad physics boost gameplay, it would be a solid B but there's this fucking level where you climb this tree and under it is all this water and it just fucking sucks. story is an A+ because they kill that Chris kid from Sonic X. I was laughing my ass off when I realized that happened.

This is the second pic I've seen of Cream saying this. Is this a meme of some kind?
Prolly a subversion. Like any innocent character is made edgier on the net, it's not just a fad.
Happened to Kirby too, he grows a huge hand and he has a gun or a knife, and says swears or slurs.

You even have the opposite happening like an edgy character made softer. You ever wonder why furries feel the need to make Shadow ultra-feminized and pair him with Sonic? Now you know.

It's because PBR does a *lot* of shit automatically that oldschool shading models didn't and most people don't tweak the engine defaults.
Irony of irony, Disney invented PBR shading so it's technically their fault.
