Steam's user-rating convinced me to pull the trigger on Frontiers yesterday afternoon. Too early to tell if I agree with that rating yet.

Just under six hours in, just about to (hopefully) 100% the first island.

I believe I now realize how Frontiers got that 95% user rating.

The island titan fights. And the music that goes with them.

That's the first boss of the game.

The. First. Boss.

They put final bosses of the franchise's past to absolute shame.

I've managed to avoid spoilers so far, so I'd really like to finish it in the next few days.

Stop the talk of Sonic Adventure 3.

Bring on Sonic Frontiers 2.

If Kellin Quinn and Tyler Smyth want to keep coming back, then by gods, I believe we'll have a successor to Crush 40.

Hope to have this game beaten by tonight, then it's back to horse words.

And maybe hedgehog/fox/echidna/seedrian words.

Good news for the Sonic Frontiers fans! I just saw an article that says that no less than 3 DLC for the game are planned for 2023. And the best part: they will be free!

The first DLC will add the possibility to listen to the game's themes and to take photos, and will also add new modes with challenges. Not sure of what the challenges will be, but I'm hoping for a boss rush.

...But it's been known to happen.

That was all. (No this is not the actual dialogue, which is really quite touching in the game. If they absolutely had to acknowledge the character abortion that was Forces, this was one of the best ways to do it.)

I just finished Sonic Frontiers. I intended to use its story somewhere in the second Saga of UME, but, without spoiling, I think that I will wait for the next Sonic game before doing this. Several elements make it so I would have no idea of what to do after the events of the game. Like the dynamic between Eggman and Sage. Like, what will Sage bring to Eggman's world conquest schemes? What will Eggman do now that he has her to bring some moral compass? And then there is the fact that the true

I’m really bad at buying and playing new video games. Partly the money thing, partly timing doesn’t work out, partly cause I want to see if it’s good first. But I’ve loved Sonic since forever and I want to play frontiers! Today! The release day!

So I finally made the time, and looked at the first two 'IGN First' videos for Sonic Frontiers.

Here's what I think happened: Sonic Team took a pair of really shitty binoculars, looked across the street into Nintendo's office while they were making Breath of the Wild, and went "ooh, let's do that."

The last two years of Sonic content has been absolutely phenomenal. Let's recap:

Record-breaking film.
Legendary 30th anniversary concert.
Record-breaking film #2.

To be fair, having these absolute fire 2000's-style heavy metal headbangers as your boss fight themes is bound to have an effect on you.

Still haven't decided my favorite, and maybe I never will.

Still not openly discussing spoilers or story content; not sure how far along Phazon is with his playthrough.

Unfortunately, I cannot put this picture up as it is way too big to be able to fit the blog itself. Hence I'm putting the link to the comic in question... be prepared for some feels people...

God damn.

Well isn't this a fascinating picture to look upon? To all of them Brave Frontier fans and readers of the first Brave Frontier fic, this is my way of saying thanks to all of you

So im a huge fan of brave frontier. All the anime looking characters and bosses. Got me to think how easily one of these characters could land in equestria. Especially this mech http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20150524182139/bravefrontierglobal/images/c/c8/Unit_ills_full_50746.png
Tell me what any of you guys think about the idea.

Got a few days before the chains of work call to me so I wanted to get one more Monster Hunter two-shot out for the year. I can't decide right now so I thought I'd give you all the choice between these three. Two more centered to a winter theme, another sorta successor to The Black Dragon. Take your pick if you want. Two are canon monsters and the last is a Frontier Monster so expect over-the-top abilities.
