Shadow the Hedgehog becomes a lot more disturbing if you believe that the entire game is a "Groundhog Day" Loop constructed by Black Doom to either break Shadow down and force him to join the Black Arms or to analyse if Shadow will be a liability when it's time to bring the Black Comet to Earth.

It actually makes much more sense now on why all your choices are pointless until Last Story, all of them were just timelines that can be reverted once you complete a playthrough.

[up]That could be an interesting idea if they adapt the game into a movie.

Or if they ever go nuts and remake the game.

Dunno if Shadow would even keep the memories of said loops or not (and if he does, say he did the Pure Dark-Dark ending, what's to stop him from going down that same exact path again?)

They sure did. Although they don't use the term until they nuke the Black Comet, but we do get Alfred shouting "REFERENCE!" Either to the super laser piss of Independence Day.

Shadow shouting "+ L, + RATIO!" before caving Eggman's skull in was a highlight for me as well as Danny Devito Black Doom.

you meant the Devil, right? From the Bible. I don't know of any "Black Doom", unless you meant his pet dog, Devil Doom?

One of the narrative problems I have with the Shadow game is that none of paths or endings you get to unlock the Last Story end up being canon. Or at least if they intended any path to be canon, they didn't make it clear

[up][up]I read somewhere the canon path is the Pure Hero one which still leads up to Last Story...or something. Just remake the game with a Mass Effect Paragon/Renegade dialogue wheel, you'd still get Pure Hero Shadow stealing the gang's Emerald.

[up]Presumably they figured there wouldn't be too much market overlap.

[down]OK, that one they really should have taken into account.

Overconfident, aren't they? Let's hope that SEGA's gamble of putting Sonic Frontiers against God of War Ragnarök and Pokemon Violet and Scarlet will pay off.

Narrator: "It didn't pay off"

Look, I'm glad Sega are showing some balls again. But their track record doesn't really warrant it? So if this gamble fails, they're gonna look like dumbasses.

Wasn't God of War Ragnarok delayed until 2023?
