Why isn't there a Sonic Adventure 2 forum? oh well. 

Sonic Adventure 2 was a sequel to the somewhat succesful Sonic Adventure. Just like Sonic adventure, this game has the forumula of playing different characters for different style of gameplay. For example, Sonic is your basic speed and grinding gameplay, while Tails is shooting and platforming. There are two story modes, and a secret one, but I don't wanna spoil it for you. One is the "Good" campaign, in where you play as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. The "Bad" campaign are for our anti-heros of the game.  You get to play as Shadow-- a newly introduced character--, Rouge (also new), and Dr. Eggman/Robotnik. Shadow plays the same as sonic, but with different levels. Same thing applies to Rouge and Dr. Eggman.

GAMEPLAY

Sonic's gameplay consists of running and homing attacks, but also throws in sliding, hanging, grinding, and ski boarding. They pulled off speed very well in this game, but there are bugs in this game. Sometimes when running through the loops (most notably in green forest) you clip through and fall to your death. When jumping to a platform, sometimes it doesn't respond well, and you can just ever so slightly fall off the side of the platform. In grinding segments, it seems kind of fun and goes very fast (which I assume is what they were going for), however, when there are two rails, this may get a bit tricky. You see, sometimes when you want to jump to the next rail, you'll either quick jump to it, or manually jump up and hopefully land on the rail. This can lead to your death when used in curves or loops. Homing attack can sometimes be a bit derpy, but it works. The Stages used for Sonic's gameplay is pulled off very well (with the exception of some bugs), and has boss fight battles that can sort of be a pain, but nothing to worry about.

Tails' gameplay is very slow and consistent and mainly focuses on Aiming, shooting, and jumping. These are the levels (IMO) that I dislike. Jumping can consist of sliding off of platforms, usually leading to your death. Eventually, the shooting will get tired very quickly. They have upgrades like hovering, and bazookas, insuring you can hover to places you couldn't go, and shoot metal boxes. The bossfights in here are your basic Mech Vs. Mech. Just shoot and shoot. Overall, I have gotten tired of Tails.

DIS YOU MAIN MAN KNUCKLES, AND HE SORT OF GETS LONG AND TEDIOUS. His levels are okay, but better than tails'. Your objective is to find three master emerald pieces in a bunch of levels. That's pretty much it. These are easy, but can take very long, especially when you see that some levels are humongous. He has gameplay mechanics such as Digging and gliding. Sometimes you'll have to dig for some emeralds, and sometimes you'll find rings underground too. Knuckles' isn't too bad, but just takes forever.

Shadow, Rouge, and Eggman are the same as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.

SOUND

I AIN'T GONNA LET IT GET TO ME, I'M JUST GONNA CREEP.

Basically, every song is awesome.

STORY

Sonic is captured because the police think he's done some crimes due to a doppleganger. (fuk da police yo) Sonic finds the copy and proceeds to be retarded, because eggman wants to take over the world again oh no. So Sonic and Tails are off to kick his ass again. Knuckles was just bein' dope till some batbitch took his emerwoards. So he's coming along too i guess. they proceed to have wacky shenanigans and attempt to stop eggman. Sonic and Shadow meet again, and have a final battle while running and avoiding eachother's attacks.

Now for the Dark story. Eggman has recruited shadow because spoilers spoilers. They also recruit a batbitch because she's like indiana jones with emeralds. Eggman plots his world domination with the emeralds and his space colony, ARK. Shadow seeks to find his memory, and recovers little by little as the story progresses. then wacky shenanigans again, and then shadow and sonic meet face to face and fight. 

THE VERDICT

Sonic Adventure 2 is a good game, but it has its flaws and downsides as well. Satisfying people who love speed, and I guess if you like the Tails and knuckles stage too. I've had fun with this game forever.

Also chao garden.

I'm curious to see what you all think of this.

What would you do if any given member of digibutter knocked at your front door?

Well that didn't take long. Actually, maybe it's taking too long, depending on which side of the announcement you look at. After a brief open beta and a full-scale rollout in Japan last week, Sega has announced that its free-to-play action-RPG, Phantasy Star Online 2, will be coming to North America and Europe in 2013. That's the part that might be taking a bit too long.

In case you haven't seen any of the video we've been running, it's been relatively easy to get into the Japanese version of the game, despite the language barrier. In fact, it's starting to seem like foreigners are absolutely flooding Sega's servers, as the agreed-upon servers and lobbies where English-speakers congregate seem to be getting absolutely packed. This has led to a bit of server maintenance as Sega attempts to rejigger the ship and block system a bit to take some of the rush off. Of course, it's not just English speakers that are filling up the game. The first five ships (servers, or "shards" if you want to be a jerk about it) aren't accepting any new character creation, though that's said to be a temporary restriction. Generally speaking, the game's servers have been holding up pretty well under the load.

It'll be interesting to see how Sega handles the English-language version of the game. Will North American players have access to the Japanese servers? Or will they be split off? If they're split, will that lead to a situation where new content debuts first on the Japanese servers and then eventually trickles over to the English servers? The PSO franchise has sort of a spotty past when it comes to bringing all of its Japanese content over to the other servers, after all. Will the slightly-higher-than-they-should-be prices of items and character creation passes see any adjustments when they leave Japan? Will I be able to continue to use the RAcast that I've already put 40 hours into, or is he stuck on the Japanese servers forever? That's the sort of stuff I'm left wondering about, but these are questions Sega probably won't be prepared to answer until it gets a little bit closer to launch.

It's also worth noting that Sega's announcement only covers the PC version of the game. Some form of the game is also scheduled to appear on Vita, iPhone, and Android.

Oh yeah becuase thats *crag*ing stupid. The REASON we are working 60 hour weeks is becuase we need more income in the first place. All this would do is cut off half of our income for like 3 days off, and then give it to some poor guy who decides to take half of my job for the weekend. And that would just leave both of us worse off in the long run, becuase neither could progress without perpetually lessening the others work time.

my room smells like a dead animal so i thought it was coming from outside and closed my window but it still smells and won't go away no matter how much i spray and put fans in here so i think it's either in the attic or my room is haunted
