Is it just me, or did every world that came after world 1 feel empty and small?
If Battle Rush were to allow us to select each and every fight of the respective island individually, I think it would then have to improvise with the timer and ranking system. Battle Rush is meant to test the player to see how fast you can defeat every enemy type in a succession including the titans, and gives the player an over all grade in the end based on how fast you’ve blasted through the entire thing. I feel like by being able to select each round of the respective island you’re fighting on individually, it kinda defeats the purpose of the challenge that this mode is meant to give you in the first place. I understand if you’re really just only looking to fight the titans, but I think that the Battle Rush we currently have now should stay at least for those who like it.
The S rank times on Extreme mode are waaaaay tighter. 1-2 is amongst the easiest stages to S rank now, ironically.
I really hope they change the skills overriding some moves cause I literally can't advance through the skill tree cause I like spin dashing into enemies for a knockback combo and it just uses the skill instead when close
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER HOW TO LOOP THE MUSIC BOX IM BEGGING ON MY KNEES HOW TO DO IT
The fact that not a single Sonic Rush OST made it into that jukebox is a crime against humanity.
Bro dry lagoon at chaos island or any of the islands especially at night is a vibe
They haven’t updated the physics engine. Still don’t see a reason why I should buy this game.
Hey can someone tell what happens when you get all the main menu insignias, because you get 2 for batlle rush and cyberspace rush and Im compleating extreme mode to see what happens
It is kinda sad that you can not play as shadow or silver
To be honest, I’m just really happy they’ve even bothered to actively add/update this game. Shows that they really care about this game.
May e is my brother's pc that is stronger than Goku but… My fps with the titans are still the same
Yeah kishimoto said he couldn't add everything he wanted to the update but more quality of life improvements should be seen in future updates
how do you get those shoes?
I found the repet in meune to change to repet only
music while collecting tokens was the best thing ever
So I personally really like the combat in Sonic frontiers and think the game could benefit from a "roguelike" mode. Something like the blazblue series Abyss mode, or xenoblade chronicles 3's Archsage's gauntlet from their DLC. Call it "starfall's gauntlet" or "starfall abyss" or something. I think its a good idea, after X amount of waves you could have a boss fight with one of the titans.
Useless update…
I know how to loop the songs on the jukebox. It should be in the options menu when you pause and you can set it to loop 1 song
Update 1 is a Really Good DLC,Sure it could have been Better with More Songs and some Special Rewards than just a Extreme Mode but it Makes the Game Fun and Challenging.
The way how I fight the titans again is i play on load saves 😂
Is it just me or is battle rush laggy past island 1?
The frames thing happens on ps5 aswell
I think it's pretty nice that they gave us songs from the past I just wish they didn't get interrupted from other songs
the repeat button for the jukebox is in options all the way in the bottom btw
i dont really get the stuff about damage scaling, isn't the point of leveling up literally to do more damage not to do the same
I hope the next update gets rid of the stupid pinball bit before you fight knight
Basicly battle rush is kinda like the arena mode that kirby games have
You can go into the sound settings to shuffle or loop songs and you can turn it on and off. Power Boost (once unlocked) as well as the slot machine for the starfall event can be toggled in options. AND the power boost animation can be turned off. These small changes make a huge difference and the game feels more complete than before.
3:21 to make a song repeat you have to go to the option menu, sound and select it to reapeat the music
Thanks Hedgehog
For me i like playing with the jukebox and messing around with photo mode. The challenges were really hard. And the koco are eggs !!. My only problem is that i wish the song selection was bigger and that the jukebox can be used in cyberspace.
i like the concept but personally i hate the boss rush
its so unfair that you have to get an A to continue
i just wanna fight them again im not fussed on ranks
I would have to disagree on the level scaling idk, A level one shouldn't be able to beat the boss run let alone get a S rank I don't think you should have to be top tier though to beat it. Disagreeing again lol with the effects not being able to be removed with camera screenshots isn't a big deal I think if you take a screenshot normally get what you see although it would be nice not a big deal, However I do think the screenshot should of been released on released.
I think it's a 9 outta 10. My main gripe is the jukebox mode. It should play during boss fights and in cyberstages and when you open the map it pauses, really annoying.. Extreme mode does need bigger health bars for enemies tho i agree but Other than that the update is sick af
They fixed the parry
With the Extreme Difficulty being added, it further reminds me of Batman Arkham Games and it may be just as a hard if not harder.
Nobody will know nor care what this comment once was.
But a new feature is the drop dash when targeting an enemy, will now automatically use the spin slash on them.
I liked it at first but it got incredibly frustrating that I had to deal with all the mini bosses and enemies before getting to the titans rather then just getting to the titans right off the bat.
And you can't play any of the songs during a battle
I love that they added a setting to get rid of the power boost cutscene when you max out your rings.
My first time playing the boss rush on PC it dropped in frame rate but I shut the game off and on and it worked perfectly I don’t know what changed there was no update
Love you my man, though I will say I think the PC issues you discussed at 6:38 seems to be more of a user issue. I personally run on an RTX 3080 and marathoned the DLC challenges today and didn’t suffer from any slowdown/lag in anyway.
My best advice would be to re-verify your files over steam. Not exactly sure how well it would help but it wouldn’t hurt to give a try!
I like the way battle Rush is set up. I personally prefer that it does not scale because that just means that you're not ready to complete the challenge. Same with having to go through all the bosses. Sonic Adventure 2 had you do that and to my recollection nobody has an issue with that. Sonic games were always about getting better and being prepared. They never used to just hand out stuff to you. If Sonic is trying to go back to its roots, then they are keeping with that theme and not giving handouts by scaling the boss rushes to make it easier, and by just letting you pick whatever boss you want instead they're making you earn it. I respect that they make you earn it that's how Sonic games used to be and if you want to keep with the theme, they did the right thing
They should finally fix the pop in.
Yeah, noticed that frame rate thing on the PS5 version too. My personal headcannon about it is that the game forgets that it’s in performance mode because it doesn’t fix itself even after the fight is done. Just go into the settings, select graphics options, immediately leave and apply changes, then it’s fixed. Takes only 5 seconds but is still annoying, real pace breaker when I’m in battle rush
1st people just don't know how to work the jukebox
2nd no health bars in sonic games
3rd enemy scaleing is a bad idea cuz it would be impossible to get s if the enemys are harder at max stats
It also lets you level up your speed and ring a lot faster
