Talk:Sonic Xtreme - A Strange Disc/@comment-25021327-20150722003852

I thought that this story was all right. I wouldn't say it really did anything groundbreaking, or anything, but I pretty much enjoyed reading this. The writing was fairly competant, without many typos or errors, and the pacing felt consistent and natural to me.

The descriptions here were pretty good. At first I wasn't sure what was being described, as I have never seen the game in question, and didn;t know if it had a similar graphical style to the first 3 Sonic titles on the Genesis/MegaDrive. Once I put together that this was a platforming game like the ones before it, I was better able to imagine what was being described.

I could see how some people might find this story boring, but I didn't really. I tend to like reading descriptions of games, even when there aren't tons of weird things happening, or buckets of blood. I guess I just find it interesting to imagine the gameplay.

However, that also leads to one of the things that might work against this story. It does what it does pretty well, but what it does has been done before, so it may get lost in the stream of other pastas. There were also some elements here that I felt  didn;t really add to the story, like the game and system turning on by themselves. The narrator getting the system and games at a shady store fr a really cheap price is also an overused element, but it didn;t really bug me here.

In all, I thought this was a fairly solid pasta. It didn;t do too much in terms of originality, but it felt pretty well pu together to me.
