Chaos Powers are better than guns

[Mystical Spork]

Shadow should've always used chaos powers instead of guns. He's always had them since Sonic Adventure 2. Guns are for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, giving him guns made him look cringey and dumb.

Try changing my opinion.

I'm just hoping they don't do this to the old Dead Rising games. I got one of my friends Dead Rising 3 on Steam for Christmas and he's loving it, but I'm hoping they just leave those as they are in case he wants other installments in the future.

because again at their speed aiming with a gun is a hindrance not a benfit.

I think Sunset Overdrive had something for that. I can't remember if was aim assist, if time slowed down when you went into aim mode while grinding, or if it was both.

Yeah, I'd say that I'd eventually have to check out the first Dead Rising game as well since I've heard good things about it. And I hope your friend enjoys it as well.

That's the unfortunate thing of having good passionate developers working for a crappy publisher.

But I question if you have a solution for the little dilemma I have at the moment that I posted about? Don't want to trouble you if you don't have an answer.

He seems like he's enjoying it. Anyway, I think I've heard someone mention you could find Enigma with a hex editor if you look for that word.

What's kinda funny is that I was playing the Batman Arkham games and specifically Arkham Origins, there's a villain in those games named the Riddler, also called Enigma in Origins.

And his whole side mission throughout that entire game involves collecting data packs that contain blackmailed personal information about citizens of Gotham and other criminals. Collecting them rewards you with information about key characters in the game and Batman openly disapproves to Enigma trying to extort personal info on these people for purposes beyond sending them to prison. Collecting enough of them eventually gives you access to his secret hideout, and by the time you make it there, he's already left.

So I see that as a weird coincidence when you think about what's happening in real life compared to what happened in the game. I know it's a bit exaggerated, but it almost comes across as similar when you consider the DRM is named similarly to the Riddler's real name and he does some shady stuff with the personal data collected hacked form people.

If they make another Shadow game, I think it should have both.

You have chaos powers but can grab some fire arms to help out in a pinch.

actually it's more likely shadow would injure himself with a gun since if he fired it while running forward he would hit his own bullets.

Sir, that is not how momentum works.

your right the bullet would actually destroy the gun because he would be moving faster than the bullet could travel damaging it's internals.

Wrong. Momentum is relative. The full velocity of a bullet shot by Shadow isn't just related to the velocity it was fired at, but Shadow's velocity as well.

There is a number of variables but it's not impossible for Shadow to shoot a gun while going fast but depending on the speed the likely hood of it going wrong increases.

The further above the normal traveling speed of the bullet, the more likely Shadow will move the gun too much before the bullet leaves the gun.

Yep. If he's moving fast, it can be hard to aim. There was an episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog where it was set in a wild west environment and Sonic was a horrible shot. However, between Chaos Control and Time break, both Sonic and Shadow have a means to slow down time for better aiming, which could play into the use of weapons for Shadow. As for Sonic, it's possible that he either doesn't know how to use a sight to aim or the events of that episode are so traumatic that he would rather not use one out of concern he'd hurt someone by accident.

With that in mind, if Sega decides they want to remake Shadow the Hedgehog, I'd propose making the hero power up a healing ability and change Chaos Control to serve as a means to aim weapons better.

I'm pretty sure this new Shadow DLC campaign for Generations is meant to retcon the story of Shadow 2005 and also probably remove the mention of Shadow using guns. But that's just my theory at least from what I've seen.

They better not mess with Shadow's bike.

What's the point of him having one, anyway?
It's not like he gets tired running. And again, if it's an attempt to make him look cool, they tried way too hard, bro. Chances are that it won't show up in the Generations DLC, only in spin-off games like racing.

In some of the comics they joke about it being required by G.U.N and it ends with Shadow saying "I really like that bike." after they talk about how much work he's done on it.

My guess is Sega wanted to make Shadow seem like a T-800. Ultimate killing machine. Doesn't feel empathy or pain. Can't be reasoned with. Only thing missing would be the shotgun, but the Shadow rifle was a good substitute for that once you unlocked it. It's just a shame the bike wasn't exactly practical because of the levels it was on were fragmented.

I don't mind Shadow using guns. I for one hope Sega brings firearms back. They were fun to use in Shadow The Hedgehog. They would also make Shadow more than a reskin of Sonic.
