The Video/PC Game Discussion Thread

Last night I played the first episode of Telltale's Batman series. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to say the episode delivered big time. It's a lot more focused on the Bruce Wayne side than any other Batman games have been, which shouldn't be a surprise, and one choice I made early feels like it could really come back to bite me later on. I also like how it includes some detective work, as well as one sequence where you get to plan things out and then watch the plan unfold right after, and it felt awesome to pull off, even it was largely scripted. They certainly did a great job of introducing the different elements of the series in one episode, so hopefully the rest of the series can live up to this, and hopefully the more unique features don't randomly get dropped along the way.

I've played it at a friend's house, I haven't bought it yet though. I've been waiting for a price-drop and it's hard for me to save money with so much good music out there.

My first Sonic was actually the Master System version of the first game, which was basically a completely different game. I eventually had both versions and I hated the Labyrinth Zone on both. That was usually where my game ended. I did progress past it on some rare occasions but I was never able to actually beat either game in full. I tend to attribute that to the lack of a save system back then, or maybe games were just harder in those days. 

I don't think you can do Knuckles in Sonic 2 on Steam normally because someone put up a workshop file for it: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=674614944

I do not think that every modern 3D Sonic has sucked like some do. I quite enjoyed both the Sonic Adventure games for the Gmaecube (the 2nd more than the 1st) and I did not think that Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog were all bad. Probably the best 3D Sonic for me though was Sonic Generations. 

It concerns me though that the newer titles seem to be more about the nostalgia of the early games (or not so early in the case of Generations' later levels) rather than actually trying to bring us a really good and original modern Sonic game: The next 3D game looks to be a direct follow-up to Generations since the trailer has both versions of Sonic in it again.
