raocow's talkhaus

Wow, raocow, you're a natural at this game. When I first played it, the controls alone made no sense to me and I really had to train myself to not overcorrect, try to not rely on the homing attack that much etc, but you are steeled in the fires of all the 3D Sonics before, you seem to have no issue!...

There's something incredible about how the very first thing this game makes you do is a minigame given to you by some random old man named Alberto Robert (and preceded by two loading screens!) where you have to go through hoops, which just vanish when you touch them without any sort of effects or a...

H H Here we go I am fascinated by this game. It's such a wonderful mess. It's the only PS3 game I own, bought used to be played with a buddy (I don't have a PS3), and I still remember the roaring time we had, drinking for each death and laughing our entire asses off. I was delighted to hear of Xenia...

His World's instrumental part is disgustingly catchy for what is literally just a four-tone scale played up, up, up and then down

I am absolutely terrible at playing by ear, but this is the one melody I could instantly replicate on the piano

Another reminder to save your game manually in Sonic 2006! It will prompt you after you complete a stage, BUT this game is janky as hell and the first stage concludes with a part that will probably kill you a lot, causing a game over. Of course that means you'll have to replay the whole stage, but i...

Ah, I should have figured you can also play as them, necessitating classes for the robots. Thanks!

...why isn't red power (Knuckles) and green is speed (Jet)?

A question that occurred to me now that we have an all-robot-race again: are there Speed, Flight and Power robots, or can they just not take any of the special paths? Are they perhaps faster/have more boost to compensate? The first place dude in the winning run sure seemed to just have a forever tra...

I think the track design here is really interesting, and benefits a lot from learning the paths. For example at one point in the last video, raocow failed to get to the top path like he wanted and said "this may have cost me the race", but only on the bottom path, there's a rail for the sp...

my point is, is there some sort of sense in the gaming community that your game has to "earn" the right to have a plot with pathos and everything? that you shouldn't even try to have a serious plot if your gameplay can't stick the landing? that an okay sonic game with a silly plot is bett...

Yeah, the green orbs could have been reflected as well, so that Game Over you got halfway through the episode where you were complaining about not getting any openings, Eggman was constantly launching what's probably the easiest attack to reflect back since it moves in straight predictable lines. K...

Soooo 2006 is the next game, right? That would be Sonic Riders, I think. I knew I was forgetting something, thanks! Soooo 2006 is the next game, right? I have some advance tips to share but don't want to blow my load way too early. There's only one that needs to be shared before 2006 starts and tha...

It's a good thing Blaze's crippling acrophobia didn't impact her ability to do this level at all! You'd think Altitude Limit would be the level that brings that up, but nope. "the deadly laser floor obscures my vision of the infinite drop below and for that I'm grateful" Soooo 2006 is the...

Blaze's real name is Hortense Flufferwhiskers, but she doesn't like to talk about it

this story sux I think the gameplay/story integration of "go as fast as possible holding one button while not giving a damn about what happens around you" is excellent, actually. Little too much dialogue maybe To echo what some people have said in the YT comments: wow what a butt-clencher...

This zone is a joy to play, but the boss sucks balls

It's a question of how you approach the game as a player. I'd personally rather die a few times rather than not be BOOSTIN', because BOOSTIN' is so much fun that it outweighs the sting of the death by a lot, for me. Also, I'm not LPing, if I have to replay the level due to a Game Over, whatever; sec...

Yeah this is how you play Rush

Seemed to go well with the mouse :partygator: Rush pretty much expects you to be boosting all the time. That's why enemies are so in your way - they're meant to refill your boost, not actually impede you. The idea is basically boost forward smashing through everything, then you reach a spring, trick...

It's been a while for me, so I'd trust your word more; it might also be a question of emulator versions, what your alternative is, how your mouse sensitivity is set up etc.

Leet wrote: ↑1 year ago Feels kinda weird emulated but maybe the screen adjustment will mostly fix that. It's technically even farther away from the DS, but I wonder if using the mouse might be better than tablet just so you can see what you're doing.

I can confirm that it works like a charm with the mouse

This game oozes style, it's slicc as hecc Ive never in my life seen or even conceived of anyone tapping thr boost button instead of holding it in any sonic game. It was a surreal thing to see in motion, like something glitching. Haha yeah this is honestly a little bizarre to behold I think this is a...

Your performance matches my experience with Expert Mode: Westopolis has, like, one extra platforming segment that wasn't there before and mostly more enemies, and then Digital Circuit suddenly makes you do a whole number of bullshit jumps on those moving blocks with depth perception and the camera b...

Does that mean the original tastes like strawberry? wonder what he smells like haha
