Just to show that I don't hate Pat forever for his ass-backwards comments about Jade Empire, I have to say that I agree with Pat in this case. I never liked the "hit a wall bumper and the game suddenly starts playing itself for a bit" sections of the Sonic games, mainly because I just knew that there was almost invariably going to be a spike wall at the end of those bits that I was expected to suddenly react to, after watching Sonic loop around on his own for several seconds, and I almost never reacted properly to those things, at least not without playing the stage several times. I much prefer slow-paced exploration games. Or, if there is some kind of speed component, I'd rather it be fully under my own control. I just don't like "gotta go fast, at all times, just for the sake of being fast, or else you're 'doing it wrong'" type of games all that much.
Also, the way Woolie is describing this Pizza Tower game is kind of like an anti-endorsement as far as I am concerned, because, again agreeing with Pat here, I never much cared for the Ren & Stimpy style of gross-out animation, either. Sort of like how I never cared for Garbage Pail Kids crap. (Though, to be fair, based on what little I've seen of the Pizza Tower game, I didn't really see anything that was too particularly gross. Not that they would probably show that in screenshots or trailers on Steam, mind you. I did see in the comments under the video that there is apparently a literal "shit level.")
On a bit of a tangent... my best friend in high school once gave me a Ren & Stimpy Game Boy game, for my birthday or Christmas or some kind of event day like that, I forget which, and... while it did avoid most of the gross-out shit the cartoon was known for... it still kind of sucked, to be totally honest. Sure, I finally managed to play all the way through it, as I did with all the Game Boy games I had back then, but... it wasn't the best. It wasn't the worst, either, but it wasn't the best.
