Sonic: Lost World is coming to PC, so that PC gamers can experience heartbreak too

Sonic Lost World wasn’t, in my opinion, a very good game. To those who’ve played just about any Sonic game in recent memory, this should come as little surprise. As far as I’m concerned, SEGA should take the little blue guy out back and put him out of our misery.

What is surprising? The game, once a Wii U sequel, is being ported to PC – allowing PC gamers to suffer the same heartbreak console owners did when playing the game. And it’s not the only one. According to SEGA, PC gamers can expect more ports of SEGA games.

“We’re delighted to be able to bring Sonic Lost World to PC.” Said John Clark, VP of Commercial Publishing for SEGA Europe; “This is the latest in a string of high quality PC ports of past SEGA titles that we will be building on in the coming months and years.”

The port will come with all of the game’s bundled DLC, and will be sold for a budget price. Those who pre-order the game from participating stores will be gifted a copy of the infinitely superior Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed.

Says the PR fluff:

Sonic Lost World sees Dr. Eggman harnessing the power of six menacing creatures known as the Deadly Six, but when the Deadly Six rise up against their master, Sonic has to unite with his arch nemesis in order to take on the new enemies head-to-head.  Using his dynamic new parkour moves and improved Colour Powers, Sonic must run, jump and race through a variety of ever changing terrains in order to defeat the Deadly Six.”

Says Geoffrey:

“In many ways, it feels like the game’s designers have thrown just about every idea they could conceive of at the game, in the hope that some of them stuck – but all its resulted in is Sonic: Lost World being a confused hodgepodge of misguided, ill-fitting ideas and mechanics that’s about as fun as running head-first in to a brick wall. There’s a stealth section for god’s sake.

While it’s occasionally inspired, with a handful of nicely designed, fun levels, Lost World is an affront to fun, and Sonic fans deserve better than this. I hope that SEGA really re-examines the guy who used to be their mascot to find out what really made him work – or just retire him for good.”

    This is why I am so glad crash bandicoot stayed behind in the past, just think what it would have turned into if it was being milked like the sonic franchise.

            Well that is the problem right there. Sure you crapped out on your first roll, but you need to try again. Surely your luck cannot be THAT bad twice in a row?

            Nope got a Froma at 20 waves, RNG just wanted to show us how cruel he could be. But we did find a very good primary weapon xp farm route

            I still need to do a few base missions it seems, sections of my ship are still not functioning

            October 7, 2015 at 10:07

            It’s pretty fast to complete. Just shout if you wanna speed run some of them to go faster.

          • Alien Emperor Trevor

            October 7, 2015 at 10:08

            If he wants to go faster he needs to put red stripes on his warframe. 😉

            I think I might have accidentally made a warframe sonic pun inside a sonic topic without realizing it.

          • Grand Admiral Chief

            October 7, 2015 at 10:10

            And slap on some more kazoz-pipes, and drop the frame a bit, and add some fur on the dash

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 10:11

            This topic derailed before we even mentioned warframe, but its gonna go down hard now xD

            October 7, 2015 at 10:10

            Now that I have your attention anyway, remember Corrosive Projection we got a few days back. Check the bonus in the pic when 3 of us carry it.

          • Alien Emperor Trevor

            October 7, 2015 at 10:13

            Yeah you get a nice boost from it, I was using it the other day in one of our defense missions I think.

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 10:15

            With all 3 running CP that scales with the enemies armor the cap go’s freaking way over the top xD

            Need to upgrade mine… when I get more fusion cores…

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 11:06

            I was impressed with the amount of R5 fusion cores we got on the last mission of our Xp route.

          • VampyreSquirrel

            October 7, 2015 at 11:11

            Yeah, was quite good. Also the rate that the enemies died was awesome 😛

          • VampyreSquirrel

            October 7, 2015 at 13:35

            There are people trying to sell Volt P Chassis for 140 Plat… SERIOUSLY!? They can GITFS!

          • VampyreSquirrel

            October 7, 2015 at 10:27

            Also that boost is insane!

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 10:28

            Will have to do that as well 😛 , so syndicate gets 500K credits and serration still needs 2 levels… I am gonna be broke soon

          • VampyreSquirrel

            October 7, 2015 at 10:35

            I AM broke already… tempted to buy a credit booster and run Void runs until my fingers fall off.

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 10:37

            Meh just void runs should do, lots and lots and lots of void runs.That also means more “duckcats” for rare mods.

          • VampyreSquirrel

            October 7, 2015 at 10:43

            True… I’m under 100k credits again XD

            At least I know I can (mostly) survive T3 now.

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 10:44

            I checked my boltor P stats now with the 4 forma it got, should be pushing around 25k dps sustained damage.

          • Alien Emperor Trevor

            October 7, 2015 at 10:46

            I actually haven’t forma’d a single weapon in all my time playing. Just given Zephyr 2, and even then only did that a few months ago when I got my 1st exilus adapter.

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 10:48

            With the new route we get from 0-30 in 2 to 3 runs, takes about half an hour. Should be faster with 3 people.

          • Grand Admiral Chief

            October 7, 2015 at 11:22

            I’m sitting on just over 1.9 mil 😉

            Over the last double credit weekend I was up to 3.5 mil, but spend a ton upgrading all my mods & buying a ton of BPs to build. Went through just over 1k worth of cores too, now everything rank 5 or 3 is maxed, anything that goes up to rank 10 is at 6 at least, maxed out serration finally. Excluding Kubrow & some Archwing mods.

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 11:24

            I have a 7 day affinity and credit booster siting in my Humble Bundle, I think this weekend I am going to pop it xD

            After the credit weekend I had 3.5 mil… all gone now

          • Alien Emperor Trevor

            October 7, 2015 at 11:30

            I should upgrade Heavy Cal now, but I’m hoarding cores again to see what the next primed mod is. Decisions, decisions haha.

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 11:31

            I have not seen any rifle/warframe prime mods, Heavy Cal is upgraded and does a crap ton of extra damage, the accuracy loss I don’t even notice

          • Alien Emperor Trevor

            October 7, 2015 at 11:34

            I’d really like primed flow or continuity some time. Guess I should just… bite the bullet… and upgrade. Cores & credits – easy come, easy go.

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 11:38

            Yup credits we can get pretty fast, and R5 cores seem to drop really easy these days.

            October 7, 2015 at 11:25

            Damn! I didn’t play enough to get the most out of the double credit weekend… I went up to just under a mill though 😛

          • Alien Emperor Trevor

            October 7, 2015 at 11:09

            I built & sold 3 Volt P helmets hehe. 150 ducats instead of 30 or 60.

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 11:20

            Heh? you can do that? I thought it was only BP’s that sold

          • Alien Emperor Trevor

            October 7, 2015 at 11:23

            Nope, you can sell built parts too, but only in some cases are they worth more. There’s a comparison on the wiki.

            Capture runs. T1 is already about 18k & only takes a couple of minutes per run is you just go straight for the target.

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 10:47

            I have timed, defense runs with speed nova to 47 seconds per wave.

          • VampyreSquirrel

            October 7, 2015 at 10:49

            Yeah, I can do T1-T3 Capture runs solo now (with Rhino), so that’s cool.

          • Ottokie "Yahtzee"

            October 7, 2015 at 10:50

            October 7, 2015 at 11:16

            Lol! Need to get my shield capacity up a bit more on Volt to do that… cos once that shield is dead, then so am I. 200% isn’t enough yet. XD

          • Grand Admiral Chief

            October 7, 2015 at 11:21

            Shield is on 750… HP is somewhere in the region of 500 (I think)

          • Grand Admiral Chief

            October 7, 2015 at 12:00

            My archived warframe that came out of retirement has 440 and 350 (I think), so I’m not THAT far behind

          • VampyreSquirrel

            October 7, 2015 at 12:19

            Problem with Volt is he only has 15 armor… where Rhino is a frikken tank of note. I don’t think I’ve ever played with Excalibur though.

            Rhino has 190 armor, 300 health and 450 shield at rank 30 with no mods.
