Sonic Lost World General Discussion

[Abominal Taz]

So if you guys don't already know, Sonic Lost World for Wii U will be getting a new patch pretty soon. Here's what we're in for;

 

1. Collecting 100 rings will now grant the player an extra life. (Cool.)
2. In the event of a Game Over, we have doubled the amount of lives the player will begin with when continuing. (From 5  to 10) (Awesome)
3. The Indigo Asteroid, Crimson Eagle, Orange Rocket, and Black Bomb Color Powers can now be controlled using the analog stick and buttons. (Thank you! Jesus Christ!)
4. Fixed a rare graphical issue that would sometimes appear during the pinball section of the Frozen Factory casino area.

5. When completing the NiGHTMARE DLC, users will be notified that they can re-play it after scoring 100,000 points.

6. Items will now appear on the world map.(Alright.)

ahahaha

[Abominal Taz]

I'm thankful that they thought clearly and put the 100 rings to a 1-up in there, and Thank the Lord with cheese, bacon, and bacon that I can use the analog stick and buttons for the wisps. I mean geezus man, I nearly had a damn heart attack because of that blue asteroid.

So wait...

They took out a staple of the Sonic games, well as platforming games in general when it was released!? WAT

At least they put it back.

[Based LiBi (JoeyD)]

You didn't know?

It's like one of the main problems people have had with the game!

[OverbounD]

I can't imagine why they did that though. It's just crazy. But at least it's back now. I recommend you go and watch Blaze's review of Sonic Lost Worlds he did a very good job outlines the problems with the game.

Naw. I'm waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy behind with the times, if you haven't noticed now.

If you did knew well kudos to you.

Does make me wonder if this game was rushed.

[GSF]

I don't think changing mechanics such as the 1-ups is a product of rushing the game.

Remember that 25 lives DLC. Just like that ungodly piece of shit Candy Crush, it seems companies want to now monetize even lives. In arcades that is understandable - it's not your machine. But when paying ~$50~$60 for a game, having to shell out MORE for characters, extra cars, lives, levels, and things like cheats is just pathetic. Look at the new Forza and all the microtransactions. This kinda crap does make more sense in a free phone application that gives you extras for a couple bucks... but when you translate that to the console it just reeks of shit.

Anyway, I was hyped for this game when it was announced, but I guess it's just another fleeting title from the rather bare Wii U lineup. (Gotta give it to Ninty though, at least it's still a game console at heart).

Also, WOW they give out 10 lives after continuing... yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...

EDIT: Oh, and the soundtrack's awesome as always. At least SEGA never screws that up - even 2k6 was great.

OK, Sonic 4 isn't that good

Definitely. That's just Facebook and iPhone app level bullshit that I just can't do. Let's be thankful that "Boost to Win" isn't going into "Pay to Win."

Oh, just you wait. Next title coming up:

OMOCHAO HELPER PACK - $4.99

Get 3 Omochao coins that automatically skip annoying level areas! Ran out? Better shell out another $4.99, boy.

*shudders*

PROTIP: If you play any of these shitty mobile games with limited lives, simply change your clock back and forth to cheat the system. Fuck those assholes - you're better off not playing crap in the first place, though. If bored, play emulators instead |3

[Abominal Taz]

Haha. Yeah, that's just easy dollar grabbing if I ever seen it. Emulators are a way to go. I can't tell you how many emulators I got my hands on. And I got a Mac.

That's already in the game, but it's free and placed in awkward areas so you have to hit it sometimes or completely restart.

[Abominal Taz]

There's new Lost World DLC for the Wii U version featuring a new zone, Yoshi's Island. Go. Get. It. Now!

And it costs a grand total of $0.00.

About time Sega finally learned to expand a game with DLC levels. Too bad they didn't do it for some other Sonic game that could have really benefited from it.

[Pharaoh Shadon]

Really? They made a yoshi's island DLC and a nights one but they couldn't have added pyramid cave/sandopolis and the ark into generations? ((They already had ARK models from the sonic vs shadow))

[Light The Hedgehog]

Exactly. I'm in slight fear as of now. Good they learned that DLC is awesome, bad that they did it too late for some to care. Ugh... meh waiting for next multi console release.

They even had DLC for sonic 06... And that DLC had IMPROVED physics ((For their levels, it didn't fix the entire game))

[MykonosFan]

I'll be getting my U back from a bud this Saturday so I won't get to try this until then, and while I think this is completely out of the blue, it seems cool. Let's not forget that we'll be getting some Zelda-themed DLC in a few months for Lost World, as well, going from Iwata's hints. 

 

I do wish they had given Generations some DLC, but I'll take what I can get. Especially for free.

[Light The Hedgehog]

You know.. I'm freaking tired of seeing that dang Sonic Lost World commercial. Anyways I gotta say I still think they should make generations dlc thats one of the games that it makes too much sense, not to do it. Unleashed, 06, Lost World but not Gens? I'd be completely fine if they made generations dlc cause im not getting a laptop or wii u soon enough. But I guess I can dream

[Abominal Taz]

So I just found the key to happiness forever...

I laughed way more than I should have.

[Jassbec]

My life is complete

[Stritix]

Has anyone managed to get all of the red rings?

[ZigZaX]

I diiiid~ Actually got them all in one try,save for the snowball stage....screw that last red ring.

[Abominal Taz]

I have yet to get them all. I figured I'd get them easiest to hardest. Obviously, I'm saving Sky Road red rings as a "last run". I have the first Emerald so that's one bunch down.
