ATTENTION: CAPCOM IS TROLLING THE FUCK OUT OF US.
-
To ease my frustrations, I made this thread. Solutions to game-ending bugs or other game-ending bugs, particularly in modern games, is the topic at hand.
I take it you saved just before the bug kicked in? Otherwise I'd say reload from last save/last checkpoint; failing that, just restart the system and it should fix things. Well, hopefully anyway.
I had a game-ending bug in Blaster Master, wherein I clipped through a wall inside my tank and couldn't climb out. On the NES days, after spending 4 hours on the game as a kid? Pure, soul-destroying rage.

sonic 4 on metacritic.com
the only reasonable conclusion is that sega is sending the press free prostitutes and candy
Nintendo Life: "The fans who clamoured for a "proper" Sonic adventure will be thrilled by Sonic 4"
Yeah uh, about that...
Really, I'm not terribly surprised by more popular review-based sites and magazines giving it a decent-to-high score; after that Kane & Lynch fiasco a couple years ago, I get the impression many are just trying to keep their job and don't want to rock the boat.
"Sonic 4 feels like a wierd, Flash-based version of Sonic 1 & 2 made by a fan who took a course in video game design" is a very apt description of the game. It makes me wonder just WHO they got to program this game and why, of all things, they managed to bungle such a high-profile, anticipated release such as this.
Maybe episode 2 and beyond will fix things for the better, but I don't have my hopes up.

who the fuck said they wanted it to be a carbon copy
my rage at the beginning is something very warranted. its not because its not like lufia ii, it is because it is VERY SHITTY.
Then just don't play the game and return it. Problem solved!
-
herp derp i make assumptions.
FTFY
No, I did read through the thread, and it just boggles my mind that people assumed it would be this carbon copy of Lufia II. I'm seeing it a lot in other places too, so this isn't an isolated thing.
I dunno, maybe I just don't see what the big fucking deal is.

I prefer to judge a game purely on its own, without any of that nostalgia bullshit clogging my judgement.
That said, the same simply isn't very good at all. The momentum is screwy; I don't like stopping in mid-air for no apparent reason, and uncurling from ball form EVERY TIME I go off a ledge or jump is horrible. The air dash is wonky at best and downright lethal at worst, and the music is just so uninspiring (aside from Mad Gear).
But worst of all: why is Sonic so SLOW?
That said, I kinda like the special stages--it has the right amount of challenge without being terribly frustrating.
-
herp derp change is bad.
Seriously, what did you people expect? A literal clone of Lufia II with pretty graphics? If so, that's some delusional thinking. SE doesn't know what to do with itself anymore, so this isn't any surprise.
What we SHOULD be doing is judging the game on its own merits rather than endlessly comparing it to an SNES game from 17 years ago.

the torches keep the saplings from dying before they mature
...how does that even WORK?

What the hell, people.
What. The. Hell.

MEANWHILE, SOMEONE WENT AHEAD AND MADE A 16-BIT ADDING MACHINE IN MINECRAFT.
My god, it's full of stars.

Meanwhile...
-
we need a team to reconstruct either SotN's Castlevania or that from Aria of Sorrow with mirrored castle included.
This is ultimately my plan, once I get a new computer.

Samus Aran is one of the video game heroines that is hardest to find hentai of.
What.
What.
Dude, I can go on rule34, gelbooru/danbooru, fucking GOOGLE, and find several dozens worth of pictures and manga of exactly that.

This totally couldn't be from when Dante was some 18-year-old faggot who didn't overbleach his hair, could it?Also lol at people caring that the series is rebooting when every single one of the games has shit for plot.
HE mad, however.

First: this is being developed by British developer Ninja Team, with only 3 people from Capcom.
Secondly: he's now a self-insert of the producer. No, seriously, just look; he's right there, third from the left.
Third: Even the creator misses the old Dante http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/103576-Devil-May-Cry-Creator-Misses-Dante
Fourth: lol u mad?

I'm personally having fun tuning up and down from 126.50 kHz, changing the pitch of the tone i hear. I think I'm doing it wrong.
There's no right or wrong way of doing it, just varying levels of creepy.
531.21 gets an indian station, and 548.68 sounds like straight-up "Satan's Radio" when you switch it to LSB.
I have yet to find a number station. Only a matter of time, though.

This is fascinating on so many levels.

I will, one day, make a Castlevania map in this.
Creepers, creepers everywhere.

This is incredible.
Seriously. I can't stop listening to it.

I will endorse the album due to it being my favorite goddamn giant mecha fighting series of all time, but
I can't help but notice there's no Shape Memory Alloys, so I can not endorse this album.has a point; you can't NOT have the garage music somewhere in there, even if only as a 5-second toss-in. It's classic.

Next on the list, 3DS.
Bet you $5 it'll be hacked within the first month of release.

This game borders on inducing rage.
I love it.
Game-ending Bugs

Oh yeah, another one.
The Suffering: Ties That Bind. A pretty mediocre sequel to what I found to be an enjoyable game overall, but I was pretty hell-bent on beating it with the best ending I could manage. That is, save all the important NPC's and generally be an upstanding guy.
The prison warden, while escorting him, ended up stuck on top of a computer console and wouldn't budge. I tried moving to another room in the hopes that he'd follow me but when I did it auto-saved, and when I went back he was dead. With no enemies around. Motherfucker.
The second glitch, during the same game, was similar; I tried to kill a boss while this scottish dude was trapped in a wall of fire. The guy RAN OUT OF THE FIRE and dashed into another room, wreathed in flames and running around in circles screaming "JAYSUS CHRIST" and "WHY WON'T YOU SAVE ME." Even after beating the boss he kept doing it.
Whats worse is that both counted as being killed, so no good ending.
Not that I could BEAT the game, since the final boss was a combination of teeth-grindingly difficult and bug-ridden instant-death mess.
