Finished Sonic Adventure

Tonight I finished Sonic Adventure for Sega Dreamcast.

Sonic Adventure - endingI certainly didn’t get 100% of all the emblems, but I’m not trying to, either. I usually only try for 100% of everything on games that I really love. Sonic Adventure is good, but not great. It has some awkward camera problems, where the camera can even get stuck beneath the floor that you’re standing on! And some of the characters seem completely useless…I’m looking at you, Big the Cat.

I’ll be writing my review for the game soon, but I’m probably not going to upload it immediately. Since the Dreamcast section of JVGS will be new, I’d like to launch it with more than just one review. Ideally, I’d have three, but I may just launch it after I get two reviews. The next game I’m going to work on will probably be The Typing of the Dead…even if it is a bit late for Halloween.

That’s all for now.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, everyone! Since it’s that time of year, I thought I’d dig out a “scary” type game to play tonight. I chose Doom. I played several levels, and I was kind of looking for something in particular: A wall that glows and flows with skulls (and presumably blood). I found one in level 15:

But I remember there being another wall like that somewhere else in the game–a long one, I believe–but I’m not sure what level it’s in. Anyway, I ended up recording a video of level 15 for Youtube–check it out here:

After that, I returned to Sonic Adventure. Since last time, I have now completed Tails’ and E-102’s portions of the adventure. Now I just have Amy and Big remaining. And I really hate Big, so I’m working on Amy first.

Sonic Adventure & Wii U

Lately I’ve been playing Sonic Adventure for Sega Dreamcast.

Sonic Adventure has six playable characters, each with their own set of levels. So far, I’ve completed Sonic’s and Knuckles’ sections, and I’m currently working on the other four characters.
