Ultraviolet (2006)

There's a few other scenes that were noticeably dubbed later, but none of them were THIS bad.

Still thinking about how this scene in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly's extended cut sounds like the Breaking Bad English Dub meme

>Boss named "Submarine Willy" that you fight him in a level called "Willy--Do It!"
>You fight him in an arena shaped like a massive cock
>You have to go through the bisexual room to get the key that unlocks the boss door
What did they mean by this?

Damn FormGen really just ran out of new texture ideas and said "Fuck it, bisexual walls"

For the record, while it's not the most annoying portayal of Sonic, Shadow 05 Sonic is the most OOC Sonic's ever been. Iizuka had George W Bush's cock way too far down his throat when he was writing that shit.

There is certainly a way you can do this cynically (I didn't think of it at the time, but Rebellion would fall into this), and I DO like cynical sequels too, but I don't think this cynicism is inherrenr to this kind of thing.

I know you haven't seen any of them, but I don't think any of the examples here are particularly cynical. Maybe Advent Children is a little bit, but it's still generally a positive story about moving on after tragedy.

Yes, 06 feels like absolute ass to play and there's a lot of janky feeling mechanics, but none of that is because of bugs, it just feels undercooked. The game really isn't any more buggy than any of the previous Sonic games, I'd even argue its LESS buggy.

Retro Chocolate @retrochocolate.bsky.social · 15d

80% of the "bugs" that people complain about are either "deliberately going out of my way to interact with a setpiece in a silly way" or some minor visual jank from unfinished animations. The former is something that exists in basically EVERY 3D sonic game.

The narrative that Sonic 06 is some sort of buggy, unplayable mess makes it soooo obvious how many people hating on it just got their opinions from late-00s/early-10s YouTubers.

Thank God they censored this so my friends don't think I'm some kind of weirdo pervert when I show them all of X Japan's family friendly songs like "Sadistic Desire" and "Give Me The Pleasure"!

Retro Chocolate @retrochocolate.bsky.social · 15d

They put absolutely zero effort into making a replacement album cover for this lmaoooooo

Retro Chocolate @retrochocolate.bsky.social · 16d

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEANNNNN

Retro Chocolate @retrochocolate.bsky.social · 16d

If this ends up being a manga adaptation that looks like the Getter Arc anime I'm gonna throw up

I don't care what they do with it, I just really hope the new Rayearth doesn't look like ass
