Since Forces has both killed my interest with bad OC and it's confirmed to have the same shitty writers I'm just waiting for Mania to suck and dwelling on the whimsy that the old games had.

>>377763086
Pretty good overall, with 2D games being marginally better quality. Gets shit on constantly for cringey fanbase and bad recent games, but unironically one of the better game series out there.

Sonic 1-CD are classics.
SA1-2 suck ass. This is where the series lost its identity and fell apart.
Every gameboy game is great.
Heroes is okay.
Shadow is okay but not that good.
06 is still steaming shit.

>Modern
Unleashed is the greatest platformer of all time.
Generations was okay.
Lost world was an unnecessary addition that didn't need to happen.

>Present
As a result Sonic is largely a blank face series with no identity beyond boost and """"nostalgia""""" neither of which are particularly great (although they nailed it the first time). Who knows how Forces will turn out. And Mania is already a confirmed hit.

Learn the physics, this is absolutely important. You do not run like an idiot, you learn the layout and mechanics. You do that, you gain speed as a result. Play the Genesis games, the Gamegear games as well (if they don't have a Master System counterpart), CD, Chaotix and go from there to whatever else you find interesting.

Sa1 and Sa2 are good games, everything after them seemed to suck badly. Although I enjoyed Shadow and a bit of 06. Heroes was too horrendously flawed to enjoy, especially the PC port. Shadow fixed most of the problems with the heroes engine.

Because they realized they needed to make new stages for fans to give a shit? It's literally a romhack, I bet they were counting on everybody being happy that it got released instead of being pissed it was just a rehash of 1-3, so now they are taking the extra time and effort to make sure there are extra levels, which will inevitably be horribly designed and rushed.

Sonic 1 was slow and methodical; it was gaining its footing - funnily enough - and trying to follow up on the traction it gained from advertisements. It was slow, but mostly from one thing: there wasn't too much screenspace in relation to his top speed
Sonic 2 fixed most of the slow-pacing from Sonic 1 and made for better things. Speed was still about memorization rather than quick reaction timing, but they were getting around to it.
Sonic 3 and all the add-ons and other such were experimental and fun as hell; platforming based as it was, it made up for the lack of screen space with how adventurous it got in level design.
Sonic CD did the opposite and added more: it gave screen space when you ran in one direction and on top of that gave a lot of opportunities for letting the level flesh itself out from the time travel mechanic. Platforming wasn't as good/experimentative as Sonic 3's, but it was damn good.
After this, it was a rough patch of outright experimentation as they tried to throw everything they learned out of the window.
Come Sonic Adventure 1, and it's a breath of fresh air in a 3D environment. It isn't perfect, god no; the voice acting was as hammy as the cutscenes and the controls for moving around were awful due to how fast Sonic could go as opposed to how sensitive he actually was to turning. It was a step in the right direction, but a big shaky one.
Sonic Adventure 2 solidified that step; it gave Sonic a real big game that was nice. It suffered still from the same problems, but they were tuned better.
Shadow the Hedgehog was...interesting. So was Sonic Heroes, though if you were to compare the two, it's clear that Sonic Heroes had more thought put into its controls and other such.
Kind of goes shaky after that, until you get around to Sonic Unleashed, which was a great game that was a step in both the right and wrong direction. It took the automation of Adventure and did it two-fold. Future games leveled it down, but yeah.

All in all, the games went through a lot, and it wasn't all necessarily pretty. Those are for the major examples, but there's plenty of stand-off spinoffs that were fantastic (Rush, Adventure, Battle all come to mind) and they should be played with a fresh attitude on the series since that's exactly what the games give the player upon coming in.

I'd say that Sonic's not out of the rough patch yet, but despite his problems, I still really love him either way. It's hard to put something like him down. He's struggled through so much that he's been a popular underdog to Mario. A logistical Luigi to him, if that makes any sense. I know one of these days, they'll figure it out, but for now, it's just ah
the character creation shit.
Yeah.

I always commended Shadow for mapping rail-jumping and Light Dashing to the X button rather than the jump and attack buttons respectively. It was also nice that if there was an area where the Light Dash was required, there'd be transparent rings there that you could use over and over again.

>>377767231

>it's clear that Sonic Heroes had more thought put into its controls and other such.

Ehhhh, maybe for the power and flight formations, but speed was slippery as hell. Shadow slipped around too but wasn't nearly as fast so it wasn't as bad.

And the Special Stage controls. Jesus Christ.

You played Sonic 3, Rush, Advance 2, and Unleashed. Then you are done with the series. There's your green pill.

Ah, fuck! That's right. Damn you, Anon, taking advantage of me not replaying Shadow the Hedgehog in a long while - my only weakness.

For that, however, Heroes had the whole Team mechanic to deal with; it's understandable for it to not get all those sort of benefits in relation to the controls. In terms of its handling on speed, it had a slow sensitivity as compared to the likes of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, which was good for going fast, but not so much for going slow and platforming. It sort of makes itself into a problem of overall control like >>377767603 stated, so I'll take that back and say that it's a "make the best of both worlds" scenario.

>And the Special Stage controls. Jesus Christ.
We don't talk about the Special Stages in Heroes, Anon.

>>377763086

Sonic Forces looks p fkn lit, famalam.

I like the direction the series has been taking with the boost gameplay and focusing solely on Sonic. Unleashed (day stages), Colors, and Generations were all great. Forces should be good as long as the OC character doesn't end up being another Werehog shit.

On that note the fandom is downright cancerous right now. Mostly because newer fans (that like boost gameplay) and Adventure fags (that want Sonic and his shitty friends - the game) are constantly clashing and butting heads. At least retro heads are getting Sonic Mania this year.

Anyway to answer OP I would just start from Sonic 1 on Genesis and go in order until you fucking hate the games, then skip ahead to Sonic Colors or Sonic Generations.

>>377763861

>>377766917

>>377768141

>>377768141

Boostshit needs to go. It doesn't even feel like I'm playing. I felt more involved in the Sonic/Shadow Adventure stages.

>>377765847
more like the result of memorizing a specific path through the level

>>377768141
>that want Sonic and his shitty friends - the game
We've seen in the past that his friends aren't inherently the issue though. No one complained about Tails' gameplay style in Adventure 1. No one complained about Shadow's gameplay style in Adventure 2. No one complained about Blaze's gameplay style in the Rush games.

>>377765725
The environment is beautiful but sonic looks like a mess

>>377765847
thats funny, because i know exactly how the old games control and feel and yet i cant do that. this isnt learning anything, this is memorizing which is very hard in a 2D game where there is no unique landmarks and the background is the same

>>377768275
I agree to a certain extent. I think the general platforming should be like the adventure games with some boost-like sections to get a good sense of speed. That being said the platforming from the adventure games is all I want back. I do not want them to bring back the multi-gameplay style or the atrociously bad "edgy" storylines from that time period. Which is something that adventure fags are constantly crying the newer games lack.

>>377768169
CD came before 2 i guess

>>377768212

Apples and oranges, anon. Time travel is actually a gameplay mechanic in CD, wether in Generations and Forces is like playing two different games from the start.

>>377768469

I agree with that. When I say I miss the Adventure style, I don't mean the Rogue/Eggman stages. The Sonic levels in Adventure felt more varied. I didn't really mind Tails in SA1, but that's about it. Everyone else was trash.

>>377768392
>No one complained about Tails' gameplay style in Adventure 1. No one complained about Shadow's gameplay style in Adventure 2. No one complained about Blaze's gameplay style in the Rush games.

All three of those gameplay styles are literally the same as playing as Sonic. Heck Shadow is literally a fucking clone of Sonic, and Blaze has a double jump. Tails can hover. And those are the ONLY characters worth playing IMO. There's little reason to waste time and resources on extra characters when the gameplay variations are so miniscule. I rather they just lock down Sonic's gameplay and focus on making more levels. Not wasting their time on Sonic's shitty friends.

Am i going to enjoy SA2 if the only thing i enjoyed about SA1 was the Sonic levels? I'd gladly play it for Shadow and Battats, but the gameplay is way too off-putting.

>>377768573
Amy's was good

The series as a whole is mediocre as fuck

>>377768686
Don't know how your social life is but it SA2 had the best multiplayer gameplay in the series.

I also believe that in total, SA2 has more Sonic/Shadow levels than SA1 had Sonic/Tails levels.

I started playing 3 for the first time yesterday.
I'm enjoying it so much more than the first two games but I can't pinpoint why.

>>377768707

I would've liked them more if she wasn't so slow. Flying around with the hammer was cool, but that's about it. I didn't mind Big's stages, mostly because they were short once you got the hook of them. I just don't get why they'd add such slow paced shit into a Sonic game. My autism makes me want to go fast.

>>377768686
the game is 4 or 5 hours

not all the speed stages are good. the hunting and shooting levels are improved vastly since there is a rank and points system in place. the game has a very drab and ugly aesthetic, making a good half of the game (cities and deserts) boring. there is no reason not to play unless your ass really gets hurt by outdated ign memes about muh characters :((((

>>377768678
I feel like that's a bit of a contradiction though, because if the gameplay variations are so minuscule, then there shouldn't be that much time to waste on them at all.

>>377768816
SA1 has 10 Sonic levels and 6 Tails levels, with one Tails level just being a snowboarding stage.

SA2 only has 10 speed levels. 6 for Sonic, 4 for Shadow.

If your favorite Sonic does not have a Crush 40 song you are 100% a fag.

>>377768948
I guess it's all a matter of perspective then; I always appreciated that, even though a lot of them share the same aesthetic/theme, each level in SA2 is completely unique. No two characters run through the same levels as Sonic and Tails did in SA1.

>>377768469

But there were barely any obstackes or enemies in those games. What platforming? Levels were straight corridors where Sonic could perform automatic stunts (maybe the snow level is the exception to the rule, but that's it). Even collecting rings was a chore and felt like a second thought. Also, stages were short as fuck and you spent most of the time in the hub world getting some key or completing some random task until you unlocked the next level.

I don't understand why so many people have fond memories of SA1 or 2, because that's how I remember them. Maybe I should replay them someday.

>>377763861
>Unleashedfag
Nah fuck off. Unleashed is just as fundamentally shit as the Adventure games, but with a nice coat of paint.
Download the Unleashed Project for Generations, blow through it in like an hour or two, and you just played the only decent part of Unleashed.

>>377769106
SA1 has a lot more pure platforming than SA2. Things definitely got way more automated in SA2.

Anyway it isn't so much platforming that people want from the adventure games, but the physics and "feel" of controlling Sonic. Sure it was slower, but it wasn't as stiff as the boost games. Seriously the jumping physics for modern Sonic in the recent games is terrible.

>>377768892
It sucks they rushed the game out so fast because the Dreamcast died. There's really only 4 different types of textures in the game. The city, the Knuckles pumpkin hill shit, the desert, and space. And space reuses textures from the military levels like the Harbor.

>>377769615
I agree, nothing in the boost games really replicates the feel of spindashing UP a slope and making those huge sequence-breaking jumps.

>>377769915
There were also the two forest levels.

>>377763086
Genesis (and Advance to an extent) games are pinball-physics, multiple path exploration and some fast, but limited by 2D screen size visibility.

Adventure games are mostly hold-forward-to-win, but with a lot of side-games and other characters who play entirely different.

Heroes through Black Knight are just random gimmicks and likely just further cringe, play at your own risk.

Unleashed-onwards is "use Boost power to win stage" and some occasional bog-standard platforming, but with nice visuals and better presentation + level design that previous entries.

Boom is shit. Avoid it.

Archie comics are worth reading if you need more Sonic grills. The cartoons/anime are pretty hard to watch.

>>377768212
I just found it funny since, apparently, Sonic 2 and Sonic CD having time travel was completely by accident.

Too bad the only way to play the only good parts in Unleashed are on consoles that have terrible frame drops and can't even sustain 30 fps.

Also at least it runs at 60 fps and any resolution in the Unleashed Project. Funny how I give a shit about things that actually affect the gameplay and you don't.

>>377767156
Shit I thought it was an all new game with all new levels, is it seriously just 1-3 with a few extra levels tacked on? That sounds fucking dumb. If I wanted to play 1-3 again I would load up a fucking ROM. What the fuck Sega.

What's the best way to play Sonic Adventure?

>>377771829
The Dreamcast version. Use an emulator, or if you have the console just burn the ISO to a CD-R. The DX version ruined a bunch of shit.

>>377763086
Sonic 1 is a run-of-the-mill platformer of it's era, though with a higher emphasis on speed every two zones
Sonic 2 improves upon the aspects of the first by making each level not only faster, but more colourful
Sonic CD padded out the experience with a time travel mechanic you needed to get the good ending, but at least it had a great soundtrack
Sonic 3 and Knuckles is the best in the series, improving still upon Sonic 2
The Game Gear games are just watered down experiences you can get on Genesis more easily
Sonic 3D Blast was fine for 5 minutes, but lacked the Sonic speed needed to make a Sonic game memorable
Any other spinoff between 1995 and 1997 isn't worth your time, despite the long hiatus for mainstream titles
Sonic Adventure, while a bit buggy, is fun for the Sonic, Tails and Knuckles stories, though the others aren't worth your time
Sonic Adventure 2 divides the gameplay count by 2, but isn't as long or fun as its predecessor
The Sonic Advance games, while not as good as the classics, are solid platformers
Sonic Heroes returns back to a simpler style of gameplay, but it's a shame there's little replayability. Good luck ironically doing the same thing 4 times tho
Shadow the Hedgehog isn't worth your time
Sonic 06 is laughably bad
The Sonic Rush games are like more complex variants of the Advance games, whether that's better or worse is up to you
Sonic Unleashed, like Adventure is good for half of it (in this game's case the Daytime levels)
Sonic 4 is shit that doesn't age well 7 years on
Sonic Colours is like the daytime stuff in Unleashed, but more Marioish in terms of presentation
Sonic Generations takes a level from each of the previous games and gives you both a Classic and Colours version of said level
Sonic Lost World tries to be Super Mario Galaxy but fails
The Sonic Boom games are great if you want to torture yourself for a few hours

The second best game in the series is easily Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, no questions.

It was sarcasm. It's hard to think of the second-best Sonic game, the best has always been 3 for me.

Generations on console was unplayable garbage.

>>377771084
>Even the shitty Ninja Turtles game that Platinum made has more depth.

You're talking through your ass right now, as what you fucking IDIOTS who talk shit about these games usually do.

>Too bad the only way to play the only good parts in Unleashed are on consoles that have terrible frame drops and can't even sustain 30 fps.

The only part where this ever happens in the entire god damn game is day time Adabat, even then it's excusable because it's a beautiful stage with lots of shit going on. You're fucking nitpicking at this point you piece of shit. How pathetic can you get?

>>377771449
>The Werehog is boring as fuck
No, it isn't you piece of shit
>is a complete slog compared to daytime Sonic
No fucking shit you retarded bastard. The werehog's gameplay was like a breather after those frantic as fuck day time stages. The two styles of gameplay balance each other out just fine.
>The whole game is bogged down with bullshit and you're delusional if you think Unleashed is some sort of fucking masterpiece
Unleashed IS a masterpiece. You're the delusional one you fucking idiot.
>That story
>Those gorgeous jaw-dropping graphics
>That music
>The fun as fuck day time levels and the equally good werehog stages to balance each other out

At this point I'm 100% sure that you fucking niggers are just offended at the fact that you have to play these playstyles, rather than at the actual play style themselves. And that just irritates the fuck outta me if I'm gonna be honest. You're delusional fucking idiots. Neck yourselves

>>377772605
It is boring as fuck you retard. I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't so fucking boring. It's not a breather. It's just a waste of time. Kirby's Epic Yarn has more shit going on than most of the Werehog.

Oh boy another edgy Final Fantasy boss

>Because they realized they needed to make new stages for fans to give a shit?
Then blame Iizuka for that shit. God you sound like a faggot, everything based on old content was his idea, not Taxman's.

And it's not a bloody romhack, everything is remade from scratch with a entirely recreated engine.
>>377771664
It will have half and half, old and new, with at most ~7 levels newly created with ~7 old zones with a 3rd act and revisioned new areas completely new from the originals. That's 14 zones, as many as Sonic 3&K had. And if this game sells like hot cakes, it could get a sequel, with more than likely COMPLETELY NEW AND UNIQUE STAGES. Just be grateful we're even getting a game like this in the first place, instead of asking more than you shouldn't have expected with that faggot Iizuka killing Sonic has he has been doing since Heroes.

>>377772605
>You're talking through your ass right now, as what you fucking IDIOTS who talk shit about these games usually do.

Then explain why there's depth you dumb autist. All you do is come on here and scream like a child and call people the n-word instead of backing up your points. The Werehog is shit and doesn't even have half the depth of a DMC game.

>The only part where this ever happens in the entire god damn game is day time Adabat, even then it's excusable because it's a beautiful stage with lots of shit going on. You're fucking nitpicking at this point you piece of shit. How pathetic can you get?

It's not nitpicking mongoloid. The game is capped at 30 fps on Xbox 360 and runs anywhere from 45-20 fps on PS3. Even on the Xbox the framerate tanks all the fucking time. It even tanks on the shitty Werehog stages. Playing Sonic games at less than 60 fps is shit and inexcusable. Kill yourself.

SEGA could have easily just made Sonic 2-2, hell any company would just tack a bunch of levels together with an excuse plot. But instead went all pout with some crazy shit about the Death Egg and a floating Island.

Seriously the pc version's manual is like three pages long and pretty much sets up Sonic Adventure's story before it even happened.

>>377773991
I'm just going to repeat what I said earlier. I 100% know without a doubt that you piece of shit idiots are offended at the thought of this playstyle, rather than how it actually plays and how it works itself, and because of that, nothing you say should be taken seriously. Your "opinions" are worthless. You're doing nothing more than to fill the average /v/ quota by saying the game is shit just because your life is that miserable. You lot literally cannot form your own opinions. You lead a disgusting piece of shit existence. You'd be better off dead. Imagine living a life in such delusion and being wrong in literally everything you do. That's you right there.

Nigga you got that bass ackwards.
Heroes is the worst of the first 3 3D games. Did you forget the cutscenes? the "story"? Having to play it like four times through to get to the final boss?

>>377783587
The second game's problem was really everything but the gameplay

It was so retarded to take the bonuses that were readily available from the first game and make you unlock them this time around (ESPECIALLY Amy). Not only that, but it has the worst special stage/Chaos Emerald system in the entire series.

>>377782975
Weirdly around the same time another game that was just a Puyo Puyo clone came out. Kirby's Avalanche

Sonic Lost world is the only game in the series that's not shit.

The 2D games are good but all suffer from being 2D so you can't see shit in front of you and the fast has to be on rails to be fair.

Adventure has fucking garbage controls. '06 is just damn broken. Boost is more of a racing game than a platformer and all of the boost games have to have a different pointless gimmick for no reason.

Lost World has tight platforming, expansive level design that rewards exploration and requires skill to go faster. Is not afraid of being difficult and having difficult shortcuts. It does have 2D levels but is otherwise unapologetically 3D.

Sonic was always Mario on crack. And Lost World being Galaxy on crack is just fine.

>>377785468
You can beat the first stage with only holding forward.

You're describing the 3ds version since the console one is boring and slow

>>377785762
>You're describing the 3ds version
No he isn't because he left out the part about unnecessary gyro controls and some of the shittiest most questionable level design in a Sonic game. Lost World 3DS was a fucking mistake.

>>377785821
It speaks plenty about the level design of the game, all the tube levels are just holding forward and the fact the one of them is beatable with just 1 input is stupid

I want someone to tell me how it's wrong for some fans to want Adventure to come when the Classicucks threw mariotehplumber-tier tantrums at Sega for decades until the company finally decided to give in and cater the entire franchise to their piss-baby asses?

Sonic CD did so too, but you should really play the 2011 remake. It fixes any and all gripes the game had.
Sonic 3 can only be enjoyed by playing the whole package: Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The game is a fucking masterpiece
3D Blast is trash
Spinball is dumb, but fun. Expect shit music.
Chaotix has some good level design that rivals CD, but poor gameplay choices
Chaos was fun but pathetically easy
Triple Trouble fixes Chaos' issues.
Tails Adventures was a fun Metroidvania
>Modern Era
Adventure aged poorly, but it still has its charm.
Adventure 2 aged better and has better gameplay, but the story and dialogue is pathetic.
Heroes is Adventure 2 if you went back to the Genesis-era plots. The gameplay is fun. Avoid the PS2/PS3 version at all costs.
Shadow is meh.
06 is one hell of a trainwreck
Sonic Advance was a nice throwback
Sonic Advance 2 was infuriating and the difficulty comes from the balls-to-the-wall retarded level design
Sonic Advance 3 perfected the Sonic Advance formula
>Boost-to-Win Era
Rush was great and the music was bangin'
Rush Adventure wanted to be as good as Rush but simply couldn't
Unleashed's only upside were the daytime stages.
Sonic 4 Episode I was pathetic.
Sonic 4 Episode II was a step in the right direction, but it just doesn't reach the levels of fun seen in the Genesis-era, GBA-era or DS-era 2D Sonic games.
Colors was more of the same of Unleashed's daytime stages. Fun, but it gets boring fast.
Generations is mad fun, but holy fuck is it short.
I never played Lost World.

So you just don't like Sonic as a concept then. I mean, that's fine if you feel that way, but understand that that is what you are saying.

cont'd.
__2006__ is the second best game in the series. If not for the horrible bugs and lack of polish which is probably because they had to skip beta testing for time. The controls are not quite as good as Lost World, but the levels share the expansive designs where exploring and platforming skill to go faster is key. Unlike Lost World, it is unapologetically 3D. There are no 2D sections. And the mach speed sections make for a nice way to have going fast levels without compromising the platforming gameplay such as boost does. If there is one major flaw it's probably overuse of on rails sections. But the better designed levels more than make up for it.

Respond to this post if you think 06 wasnt as bad as Lost World or Boom

>>377788004
>Shadow is meh
While I agree with most things you said personally Shadow is so god damn insane that I can help but love it. They basically made a character they had no idea what to do with and just decided to do the one thing no could think of. But luckily not a massive trainwreck like 06 so still playable.

@377788427
>06 wasnt as bad as Lost World

Yeah, it was a million times worse

>>377788023
none of the 3D game have momentum. deal with it nerd. it's still a good game

>>377763086

Original trilogy is the best the series has to offer. CD is pretty good too, though the black sheep of the old games. Your mileage may vary with Adventure games, some say they suck, others love them. Most people feel like the series went downhill when it went 3D, particularly when Heroes and Shadow The Hedgehog surfaced. 06 is universally hated. Unleashed has some very mixed reception. Some swear by it, others hate it. The Gamegear games are the least controversial titles in the series. Most people just forget they even exist, so there's generally no discussion about them. Personally, I liked them, but then I grew up with these games. Most people just treat them as games that aren't particularly offensive to the Sonic franchise. This is probably because they were never meant to be anything more than affordable Sonic games. Software for people who couldn't afford consoles at the time, mere spinoffs. If many of the games in the franchise like Secret Rings and Shadow The Hedgehog were treated as side projects, or spinoffs if you will, they probably wouldn't be as hated. Like these games, people might have been more forgiving of any flaws present in titles like Heroes, because they would simply be considered experiments not meant to be the next step in Sonic's evolution.

>>377788427
lost world wasn't that bad and boom on 3ds was good

>>377788427

06 is better than both. i did enjoy sonic boom fire and ice though. but the wii u is EASILY the lowest point of sonics entire life. holy fuck what a disaster 2013-2015 was.

>>377788316
Funny. I don't agree with anything you said about Lost Cause, but I will certainly say that 06's levels in a proper engine are a blast to play. Flawless? Hell no, but still a blast. If you have Generations on PC, give the 06 pack a try if you haven't already. It gives you a new appreciation for what 06 was trying to accomplish and it ain't half bad. Mach Speed sections are especially fun since they're actually faster than the originals while still being far more controllable.

>>377788427
Yeah. At least Sonic 2006 was a Sonic Game. It wasn't a failed Mario clone, nor a failed Ratchet and Clank clone.

>>377788531
Clearly you've never done a Spindash Jump in Adventure for speed-running purposes.

>>377788551
CD is the best of all the classic games, as you are actually able to run free

>>377788741
the levels are not compatible with boost physics, maybe if there's a mod that makes the handling more like the original

>>377788316

Well, there were other problems present in 06 as well. Like the Adventure games, they threw in other shit that nobody really cared about. Everyone just wanted to go fast, they didn't want slow sections where Sonic carries Elis, or playing as Robotnik/Tails in a slow ass mech.

What they needed to do was just make a bunch of Sonic/Shadow levels, and actually take time to play test the game. That alone would have made 06 fun.

Spotted the faggot who never played actual run of the mill games from 1991.

>>377788817
There is a physics mod included that tones down Sonic's top speed and nerfs the Boost a bit. Honestly, you're not going to want to Boost much at all unless you're in a Mach Speed section.

>>377788769

Run free? Not sure what you mean by that. As in, explore?

>>377788870
Sonic 1 wasn't that great when it launched. It was fun sure but there was much better platformers at that time. And a few months later Mario World came out and no one had a chance to beat that.

>>377771975

I wouldn't exactly call it run of the mill. It was pretty revolutionary for its time. It did momentum based platforming like no other game at the time. While it wasn't as fast as its successors, and lacked spindash, you still ran at blistering speeds.

>>377788868
silver as a physics tech demo isn't a bad idea I don't think. Remember this was a next gen launch title they had to show off that shiny new CPU.

>>377789042

World came out before Sonic 1. Unless you're just talking about the western release date here.

>>377789042
Not being Mario World and being run of the mill are two points on a chart with a vast gulf between them. Sonic 1 was far above the average shit being pushed out by the mill.

>>377789224
SA2 is an absolute fucking clusterfuck.

I couldn't believe what I was playing. The gameplay was clunky, the Knuckles/Rouge missions were godawful, as were half of Sonic/Shadows. The Tails/Eggman levels had me in disbelief. The story was appealing, and even the multiplayer was broken.

Heroes was a return to the simpler more vibrant and fun level design and was just a lot more relaxing and enjoyable to play.

Rush and Rush Adventure were very vibrant and it was enjoyable to GO FAAAAAAAAAAAAST in a 2d game. The story was simple but fun. Rush Adventure was even quite comfy with its pirateship/island searching themes.

>>377789207

Well, Lava Reef, Speed Highway, Ice Cap, and Puppet Panic ARE legitimately good zones. Didn't care for Quartz Quadrant to be honest. I don't know why anyone would like anything about Sonic 4 though. That game made me lose what little faith I had left in Sonic Team.

>>377789467

I don't think the Sonic fanbase is united in any opinion regarding the games in this franchise. We have people who like 06, people who hate the original trilogy, and people who think the Gamegear games are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I can't think of a more splintered fanbase
