8 more days until Forces gets BTFO
IT'S OUR TIME NOW ADVENTUREFAGS.
After Mania's success and Forces' failure, they'll push Classic Sonic to the Moon.
YOU KNOW THEY SAY ALL GAMES ARE CREATED EQUAL. BUT YOU LOOK AT MANIA AND YOU LOOK AT FORCES AND YOU CAN SEE THAT STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE! SEE NORMALLY IF YOU GO 1 ON 1 YOU GOT A 50/50 CHANCE OF WINNING! BUT I'M A GENETIC FREAK AND I'M NOT NORMAL! SO YOU GOT A 25% AT BEST AT BEAT ME! AND THEN YOU ADD ODYSSEY TO THE MIX, YOU THE CHANCES OF WINNING DRASTIC GO DOWN! SEE YOU GOT A 33 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING. BUT I, I GOT A 66 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING CAUSE MARIO KNOWS HE CAN'T BEAT ME AND HE'S NOT EVEN GONNA TRY! SO MODERN SONIC YOU TAKE YOUR 33 1/3 CHANCE MINUS MY 25% CHANCE AND YOU GOT 8 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT SACRIFICE. BUT THEN YOU TAKE MY 75% CHANCE OF WINNING IF WE WAS TO GO 1 ON 1 AND THEN ADD 66 2/3 %. I GOT A 141 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT SACRIFICE! SENIOR SPINY?THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOU AT SACRIFICE!

I never noticed that the Ing could fit in with the Shadow the Hedgehog game decently well until now.
Should I play this fangame called Time Twisted? I imagine it'll be enough to prepare for Mania since the release is getting very close.
Where can I find the 8bit games? The master system versions, not the gamegear.
Are these games canon with the 16bit games in your opinions? Is it weird that the Master System got Sonic games when the Genesis was already a thing?
These are the top 5 Sonic games on Metacritic

I'm not. I'm just having common sense.
It's retarded to either overhype a game either being shit or not when there's not even that much out yet, there isn't even a downloadable demo or anything, all there is to go off of is the trailers and some dipshit that played the Switch version and complained about the graphics.

>"Our show is short, so we cut some corners."
>"Come on gang, we have to stop Eggman, from... doing his... homework or something I don't care."
The writers have gone full no fucks given. They're speaking directly through the show now.
Honestly there's entertainment value in just watching the show gradually devour itself as the writers piss all over it.
mania will probably be 14 main zones. its longer than any classic sonic but comparable to 3&k which is 13, so its probably 14.
the level ratio will be AROUND 40% new and 60% old.
in 14 stages a 8 old zone 6 new zone ratio fits. especially since the 6 new zones could be used for all 5 heavies and then eggman one last time.
8 old zones means 2 games dont double dip, i think it will be 1 and cd that dont, since 3's multiplayer zones could be used too.
so i think these will be the returning levels:
1:
green hill
2:
chemical plant
hidden palace
3:
hydrocity
azure lake (multiplayer)
&k:
flying battery
lava reef
cd:
stardust speedway
from the silhouettes of the heavies, it looks like there will be a mace heavy, magic heavy, shinobi heavy, cape heavy, gunner heavy
logically i think this will be the level order:
green hill -> azure lake -> new castle zone -> flying battery -> studiopolis -> chemical plant -> new magic zone -> mirage saloon -> lava reef -> sonic 2 hidden palace -> hydrocity -> sakura synagogue -> stardust speedway -> new final zone -> 1 act doomsday zone-like boss

This game was actually pretty fucking great. I am now convinced people that say Sonic was never good just never played this.

I came to the same conclusion a few days ago with Sonic 2, and then 3&K solidified it
>>386425774
>>386425645
I am baffled you actual believe people when they say one of the most well established and highly praised games of all time are bad.
I grew up on these games yet I never felt the 'nostalgic' fondness. Sonic on the mega drive were solid, well made and well designed games. I still find myself finding surprising new routes and stuff when i replay them.
Skeletons will take the next game for sure.
Myboy_is gonna make it in, right?
>>386426006
>I am baffled you actual believe
I never said I believed, its just a thing people say for some reason. So I tried the games out myself and found out people are simply misinformed and don't know any better because for some reason they didn't play the games yet despite them being easily available to emulate yet still call the games bad despite never having played them.

The power of youtube celebrities and vidya journalist with no integrity
>Pfft, these games are beneath me. I'm not even going to give them a shot.
I'm currently playing through Sonic 2 so I can beat it for the first time.
I know how to get through Wing Fortress easily now and Metal Sonic is a piece of piss so it's just a matter of keeping enough continues and lives stockpiled so I have plenty of opportunities to get through Eggman at the end.
It'll probably be easier considering I've got Tails with me this time though.
Currently in Chemical Plant Act 1. I'm still trying to get the hang of when to jump during a ramp for massive height.
>>386426156
My friend has the same problem. She used to be a part of the cringe sonic deviantart fandom but lost interest because she never played the games, and found sonic cringy. She grew up with a gamecube and loved stuff like mario or zelda. I want to try to properly introduce her to the classics someday to help her realize these games are great.
Think I can save her?
>>386426308
Let him fly up
Wait in the corner
Step a bit to the side before he lands
Time your jump and jump towards him so that you hit him as soon as he lands and so that he's at his lowest
If he's doing his arm attack, avoid them by jumping over them or just running to the other corner
Repeat until he's dead
There
>>386417341
The animation in this game is superb. I can't wait for the high qualitytailssprite rips with transparency.
>>386426643
Start with Sonic 2. Sonic 1 is really rough and more often than not hit or miss.

Twenty bucks or something
But you and her have to play the entire game together, start to finish
You'll be Tails, she'll be Sonic

Try drawing him from reference until you can consistently get his proportions right. Also check out drawing guides for Sonic characters. There's an official drawing guide that was made for Toei for Sonic CD's intro but I don't have it saved. Otherwise there's also a good one for modern style by drawloverlala that can be applied to classic with some intuition.

Let's not forget Nintendo dropped the retro look for Mario with the New look which looks like ads.
>>386427836
it's okay anon i finished it for you
>>386428859
but the majority of mario's games have been good in the modern era, unlike sonic.
>>386428932
Agree just saying the style of the 2D New Mario games look horrible. And honestly gameplay wise they're alright at best. 3D however has at least been good even Sunshine which to many is the weakest of the bunch.
>>386428684
Oh okay. I thought you were a Tails hater (or just a Sonic's friends hater).

I was going to pirate it just to see if it ran on my toaster, but then I remembered Steam's refund policy lets you play it for two hours so that'll be a good enough judge.
>>386429636
Shouldn't Shadow just shoot the guy?
>>386429706
>>386421052
Depends, if you've only played the Genesis games and assuming you only want to stick to 2D you could also play the Advance series which is great.
>>386429706
Not edgy enough
Why.
Reminder that this countdown is tied to the PSN release. According to past posts, Playstation titles that can be pre-loaded are released at midnight, so that's when we are getting Mania there.
However, the Steam release will be at the 15th - EST afternoon, not at midnight. You can verify this by checking the Asian markets release which is listed at the 16th (pic related).
Therefore, Playstation users will be able to play the game for about 12 hours before PC users.
As an added note, can't we annoy Sega on Twitter to get a midnight release on all platforms?
>>386430019
You went down the wrong hole anon
>>386429914
Thought you said Adventure series and was about to correct you.
>TFW you genuinely love Sticks but know that she'll never be in any Sonic mainline game or other media ever again
Is this what the Archie fags feel like?
>>386430318
she doesn't look like she smells too good
>>386430019
I went through the same shit a couple weeks ago on Sonic 3 Complete.
>>386430475
This is Complete. Guess it's a glitch with the romhack. Did Sonic 3 have a speedcap originally that was removed or something?
>>386430318
Sticks was designed by Sonic Team and was in the most recent Mario and Sonic Olympic game, I don't doubt that she'll persist after Boom ceases to be. She'll probably just end up as a cheerleader/exposisiton-spouter, like every other character that's not Sonic or Eggman in the Sonic Team games.
>>386430318
I don't see why they created Sticks when there was already a character perfectly fit for the same role who could use a boomerang too. Marine would've actually fit the cast too considering she's not dressed like trash.
>>386430538
I don't think the original did since I can't even turn it on when I hover over the option unless I have Controls/Abilities set to Sonic 1, 2 or CD.
>Copy of Sonic Rush got shipped today.
>>386430921
Still mad that they made Sticks her own character and not Marine
>>386430318
Wasn't she in one of the Olympic games?
Forces will be the better game, and will BTFO 2Dfags.
>>386431002
>buying and shipping Sonic rush when you could easily download it from the very device you post from for free
>>386430267I like the Adventure series too and think they're good games.Including Heroes.
>>386431061
I like having a physical copy.
>>386430921
They probably just felt they had to add a new character to coincide with it being a new show, they didn't want to have it be entirely the same old crew. Makes sense really, even though it doesn't.
>>386431151
Well get ready, because you're in for one hell of a6/10game.
How good are Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 REALLY? No nostalgia or personal preferences, give me a straight review on how good they are, I'm thinking of buying them on Steam since I vaguely remember playing Adventure 2 on a Dreamcast at a friend's house when I was younger.
This is probably a stupid question but are there any 2d sonic games where you can switch between all three characters at will? The other two follow you and there's a button you can swap between them?
>>386431576
>give me an unbiased opinion
i don't think that's possible
>>386431576
Fuck off and go form your own opinion.
>>386431576
People will tell you they aged like cheese, but I've gone back and replayed them multiple times with a non-biased standpoint, and still found them fun. Adventure 1 has aged, definitely, but most of the frustration comes from some glitches in certain areas, or a couple bad camera angles.
Adventure 2 fixed a lot of those issues, however the problem people usually have with that one is the different gameplay between the three characters. I think they're fine, I love Knuckles/Rouge stages, but Eggman/Tails ones could be better. Sonic and Shadow stages are good all around up until Crazy Gadget, which is like the last, or second-to-last stage anyway.
They're good and worth checking out, especially if you're interested in the Chao system.

Hope it is cause I can do with some more Modern Sonic Gameplay after the trash that was Lost World.
>>386431576
The Sonic & Knuckles hero/dark levels were the only good ones.
I grew up playing the advance games on my GBA and played all 3. Last night I picked up sonic CD and so far it seems like a lot of fun with the past/future thing. Is it worth picking up 1,2 and 3? Also is the sonic and knuckles game seperate to 3 or the same thing?
>>386431576
They were never all that good and I loved them to death, a lot of nostalgia in those games for me but the voice acting was bad, camera was wonky and some characters gameplay are just plain terrible like knuckles and rouge. Saying that, I really enjoyed the chao minigame and speed running sonic's stages (especially the one in space) was always fun to me. They're worth it in my opinion but I wouldn't pay more than 10 dollars for either.

After playing Sonic CD for the first time last night, and re-watching some footage for mania today, I realized thatChemical Plant Zone Act 2, rather than being entirely "new", is a well designed, re-worked version of Wacky Workbench Zone Act 1
>>386431695
There's a rom hack called Sonic Classic Heroes that does that but that's all there is to my knowledge.

>>386431801
Sonic and Knuckles is essentially the second half of Sonic 3. That game is too big for 1 genesis cartridge so they split it into 2 combinable carts. Also Sonic 3 + Knux is imo the best Sonic game.
>>386431576
They're pretty good. A lot of people extremely overplay the presence of the glitches, but they do exist, along with some odd gameplay and design choices in places. The alternate gameplay styles in both games are all fun as long as you approach them without said personal preferences and wanting only Sonic, except Adventure 1 Amy and potentially Big depending on your view of fishing, I like it in games but it's pretty barebones and badly implemented here. I think Tails/Eggman levels are actually solid and don't get where the hate for them specifically comes from, they're at least as good as Knuckles/Rouge and have a really nice weighty momentum style to the movement and gameplay. And of course the Sonic/Shadow levels are really fun to play, with more exploration and potential for different routes and methods than people give them credit for. Steam's got the refund policy so it's worth your while giving them a shot. Chao Garden is also god tier replay value and incentive.

oh god, I drew that pic of sonic like 8 years ago. Never thought I'd see it again.
As far as ANOTHER sonic collection goes, after playing taxman's version of sonic 1, I'd love to have the original series updated and running at 60 FPS on a console/PC. It feels good, man.
As far as game choice goes, from a business perspective if you're gonna rehash, it's better to do games that have a reputation of being good, rather than some literally who titles. Not saying I wouldn't love to see those games remastered as well. I've played Pocket Adventure but none of the Game Gear or Master System titles.

I probably have well over a thousand hours in CoD Black Ops zombies. I have all the DLC for it too. Sadly, only on Xbox 360. I stopped touching CoD after Black Ops 2 zombies blew so hard though. I'll probably pirate CoD WW2 to try the zombies though.

>>386432305
Wat?
>>386433468
This is going to be in Mania, right?
>>386431576
Both aged poorly but that doesn't mean they aren't worth playing. 2 is better visually and has a better story that's full of 90s cheese and some of the worst audio mixing I've ever heard but 1's design is better.
1 allows you to pick who you want to play as while 2 requires you play who it wants when it wants. Sonic and Tails in 1 are effectively the same in 1 and make up most of the game's stages and they control pretty well with only a couple of shit stages between the two. Knuckles is more about exploring a sandbox but none of the levels end up being too large. Gamma is a run and gun with minimal platforming but his stages are short and sweet and he's over before you know it. Big can be a pain in the ass but if you know how to play any fishing game ever he'll be done with in not even close to an hour. Amy is pure shit and slogging through her story is nothing short of hellish. She's slow, there's no platforming, and she's annoying. Luckily you can only play who you want to unless you want to fully beat it and normal stages make up the majority in this game and another chunk of stages are bearable at the very least.
Sonic controls better in 2 and his stages are generally designed better but there are far fewer of them both proportionally and overall. Where the game really drops the ball is not only making the other 2 play styles way more prominent but also making them objectively worse. The run and gun stages are longer and slower and the screeching of the gun locking on is annoying as hell. There's not much to them and they overstay their welcome very quickly. The real garbage lies in the treasure hunting stages. Everything about these are wrong. The radar is completely fucked in 2. In 1, it would detect all 3 shards in a level at the same time. In 2, you're locked to only detecting 1 at a time but even worse, the stages are either bigger or indoors fighting the camera.
There's fun to be had, anon, but you're going to have to overlook some flaws.
>>386433321
The gunplay and zombies are different from Killing Floor 2, and it's more pickup oriented with you having to go to specific locations to get a specific weapon or to power up your weapon, or to buy a perk buff. It's overall got more of an arcadey feel than Killing Floor, and its main mode us just straight up live as many rounds as you can while getting the highest score, while KF is just survival for X number of waves. They're two different experiences.
Also KF is much more lenient towards shitters because if your teammates suck but know not to shoot a scrake, you can do okay. In CoD zombies if your teammates suck, you just get overrun and die.
>>386430921
Stick's pretty much Marine with the Boom artstyle.

I don't care about the actual boss, but I'm really hoping at least the music is in Mania.
>>386435321
I don't want anymore recycled bosses than the one in Green Hill. I'm kind of disappointed that it was also spoiled because being surprised to see one of the later bosses in a classic sonic game pop up out of the blue in the first zone would've been sick if it wasn't spoiled.
>>386435321
You forgot the best version.

>>386435514
I don't mind if it's reused as long as they make it pretty new, like make it a Big Arm 2.0 or some shit, Mania has been pretty good at making something new out of the old after all, plus like >>386435430 said I mostly want that music. Also same on the spoiled thing, I'm disappointed they revealed that since that would've been such a cool surprise, the same goes for the Special Stages & Blue Spheres.

It's the primal parental fear that a failure of balance might happen and their brains wouldn't process the event fast enough before a faceplant, causing possible further damage.
>>386441370
no leaks is a good thing, faggot.
>>386440882
This is such a fucking weak point. I don't know why people keep bringing it up. CD 2011 never got anything other than a sprite swap. No other mods came out for it aside from shader porting and an unfinished GHZ that doesn't even work.
Mania is on a new version of Retro Engine, one where the old RSDK floating around probably isn't compatible with it. The possibility of it being modded to hell and back like so many people claim it will be is minimal.
>>386441543
>The possibility of it being modded to hell and back like so many people claim it will be is minimal.
Not with that attitude.
>>386441543
CD is also not a new game that is revitalizing a whole section of the fanbase. Lost Word also got ported to the PC and it has much less mods than Generations. You know why? Is because no one gave a shit about it, much like no one really cared about CD other than it being the definitive edition of that particular game.
>>386441543
I'd imagine Taxman would be open to a Steam workshop for mods since this is releasing directly to Steam instead of just being a port that was one off and left alone beyond release. You'd just have to request it enough.

The games aren't good and everyone saying they are is blinded by nostalgia. SA2 is the biggest offender with the treasure hunting levels being unbearable. Mad Space is a nightmare to play. Sonic and Shadow's levels are fun with tight controls and decent level design but being forced to wade through shit to play a few good stages ruins the experience.
>>386442652
The treasure hunting was great if you're actually into that sort of thing, just like Big's fishing in SA1. They were good for what they tried to be, and that's why people say the games are good.
>>386437035
Tidal Tempest is an underrated stage and the second best water level.
>>386441667
Probably indifferent just like I was back then. There was a huge gap between me playing Sonic 2 and 3 as a kid and then me picking up Adventure 2 Battle later and I really didn't care in the slightest that Sonic looked different. I still recognized him as Sonic so it was whatever.

This is pure bullshit. I've seen steam games released at midnight before.
>>386419857
Nah, I wouldn't say they were paid.
3D Sonic was still a new and novel thing back then. SA2 was also the Dreamcast's swan song, so that led to people looking at it less critically. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle came out less than a year after the original game and it got tepid reviews, despite being the definitive version of the game.
>>386441667
Looked fucking radical then and looks radical now. I don't care what /v/ thinks. SA1 and 2 Sonic were top tier. I hate how they toned down the tude and dynamic posing with Advance and on.
>>386444419
I got to insult him for his shitty Pepe meme, so it was worth it.
>>386444678
Most of those negative reviews knocked points off because it was a straight port with no new major features. They loved the core game still but we're hoping for something more.
Which fucking confused the fuck out of me because versus mode got a huge overhaul and a performance boost. The fuck are these people on about? It sounded like they wanted a fucking remake just for the sake of it.
>>386417951

The exceptions, not the rule. As of now if nothing changes the release will be the standard, Valve recommends a Tuesday afternoon release for all titles and most devs follow that. But yes, devs have full control over the release timer hence why I said to go after Sega on social media so they can actually change it.

I was never the kind of autist who complained about Sonic's redesign across the ages so I'd probably be pretty hyped about how cool he looks.
This being adventure, then I'd see the ingame design and be like: "oh".
>>386446969
They didn't even try to explain Blaze or Silver being in Generations/Rush. With how often Modern and Classic Sonic are pairing up, they need to just retcon some sort of dimensional portal that's easily accessible.
>>386444067
Your bait is pretty lacking but I'd agree that I'm probably not going to play this game for very long. I loved the classics as a teenager/kid and S3K was pretty much part of my daily routine back then but I grew up to like other game genres. While I will try this game out and probably love it I won't be as devout to it as I was back then.

Im getting it on my xbone and on pc aswell.
>>386452957
Sounds like you never had a childhood.
>>386451487
Good luck with that because convincing pirates to pay up is not gonna happen.
>>386451487
dont forget about STEALTH
>>386453232
My childhood was full ofSNESbut the older I got the more time I had to play games. Teenagers probably have it the best out of anyone but an adult still has more time to play on average than a younger child.
Thoughts on the "Cooper's perspective" Sonic reviews?
>>386453320
STEALTH is the taxman's Tails. no one gives a fuck about tails. plus he's living the name lol.
I've recently tried going for the Time Stones in Sonic CD. Never before have i had such a miserable time getting shit in a sonic game before. At least I can try again with Heroes' stupid tube shit and Sonic 2's halfpipe is easy peasy baby time compared to this.
Actually, come to to think of it, I didnt have a good time at all unless it was Palmtree Panic or Quartz Quadrant (And the first half of Stardust). Man fuck this game in general and its asinine level design.
>>386453497
So on top of not having a childhood, you're STILL a kid now. Good to know.
>>386453584
Wow rude. I'm going to make sure Amy fans suffer for this comment, she's being removed in a day 1 patch now.

You are actually shit. First off you can quit out of the Special Stages to retry them, and secondly Palm Tree Panic, Collision Chaos, Tidal Tempest, Quartz Quadrant, and Stardust Speedway are all great zones in their own way. The only miserable time in the game is Wacky Workbench and Metallic Madness.
Post your Sonic ConfesionsSonic CD is my favorite Sonic game behind 3 and Knuckles
>>386453635
do you have brain damage?
sonic cd is easy as fuck
>>386454164
sonic cd is my favorite sonic game behind master system's sonic 1 and i don't give a fuck
>>386454015
JUST HYPER POTIONS MY SHIT UP
>>386454164
How the fuck is this a confession? You are like a little baby, watch this: Sonic 3&K is my favorite gamebehind CD
>>386454015
>>386454343
Reminder that it's just some hack who dubbed over the Hyper Potions song and it's not official.
>>386454069
Hell no my man. Collision Chaos has bumpers up the ass. So far up your ass that you might never want to see one ever again. There are these little breakable ones that you are required to get through. And if that wasn't enough there were smaller unbreakable ones that don't even bounce you higher at all. Then there's this stupid points.. thing? I dont know what it is but everytime you brush up against it you're forced to wait 4 seconds and then shoot upwards into more bumpers that'll bring you right back towards it.
Tidal Tempest is fine. Its not annoying, but it can be when the bubble spawn takes a fucking hour until it finally decides to give you air.
Stardust Act 2 is a nauseating, confusing, spike infested shithole that rewards trial and error. Which might be fine for you I'm sure.
>>386454702
No one thinks it's official but I do think it's close to what will happen.
>>386454702
it's good enough for me
also hyper potions commented saying they did a great job
>>386454549
I can hear the tremors of anti-CD autists in the distance
>>386454743
Collision Chaos is a blast if you use the bumpers as springboards though. With the right speed and momentum you can skip across the bumpers really fast and it's just a fun physics-based zone. I see Tidal Tempest as a calm and slower interlude with really chill music so it's always nice, but I don't know what you're talking about with Stardust Speedway Act 2. I love Stardust Speedway but my only problem with both acts is that the zone practically plays itself, it's more speedy spectacle than actual gameplay.
>>386454896
I dont care for CD one bit. Its fine I guess if you enjoy that kind of gameplay but I'd rather play something more streamlined. Cut this meme shit out. People can not like things that you like you know. Grow a fucking backbone.

Maybe you weren't here for previous threads. He's not talking about people who dislike or don't care for CD, he's talking about the autists who hate CD with such a passion they feel the need to constantly shout down anyone who likes it. They actually want all memory of CD erased from existence and they'd do it if they could.
What games do you guys consider canon with the Genesis games? Like, do you consider the Master system games to be canon or not for example? Or what about any of the 3D Sonics, or Sonic Rush? How about the OVA?
>>386454775

>>386455213
I disagree. Park Avenue might not be my fav but I love fist bump and Infinites theme. It can easily compete against Live and Learn and Open Your Heart. Well L&L definitely but nothing will ever top OYH.except maybe What I'm Made Of

>>386455706
Not even
Park Avenue sounds like samey garbage that'll probably get boring in a while. Fist Bump has a feel good rocking vibe to it that the Crush 40 themes had and it emulates it perfectly. Well it does sound more upbeat but that's what I like about it.
Infinites theme is just a guilty pleasure I like. Then again i also like I Am All Of Me.

Let's get the bad news out of the way first: the quasi-3D Special Stages from Sonic 3 & Knuckles are back, and they're not better than ever. Sonic Mania classifies these as Bonus Stages, or 'Blue Spheres' - a reference to the core mechanic that has Sonic snagging all the floating blue orbs that dot the horizon of these spherical, wrap-around pocket dimensions. The problem with these Bonus Stages is immediately apparent: the finicky controls, which are a little too faithful to the originals. Nudging Sonic (or Tails, or Knuckles) left and right causes the entire perspective to make a hard 90 degree turn, and the constantly shifting viewpoint is downright nauseating. Problem is, you're going to need to turn on a dime extremely often if you want to clear these stages successfully, because every blue sphere turns red once you've touched it - and as you probably guessed, making contact with a red orb results in instant failure.
>>386457710
wtf
shouldn't it say don't get red spheres?
>>386457710
ign review already out huh?
>>386457710
This better be a pasta and not an actual review...
>>386457710
To make matters even more frustrating, orbs are positioned in ways that often turn the slightest screw-up or miscalculation into guaranteed death. Once you've formed a closed loop of orbs, all the orbs contained in your path turn to rings, which you'll need to pick up if you want a perfect score and the Gold Medallion it bestows (no word on what those actually do just yet). To convolute things even further, you can also jump - which you'll need to do (while silently praying for survival) whenever you've trapped yourself in a minefield of red orbs. Worst of all, you have no way of quickly retrying a Bonus Stage should you fail, as their portals only spawn above checkpoints when you first make contact.

>Sonic Mania's soundtrack under SA2's
>>386455467
>SA1's ost higher than SA2's
Both are good.Sonic CD, 3&K, Rush, and Unleashed have the best soundtracks overall though.
>>386420580
Fucking God Tier. I wish it would be in Mania but it's a Green Hill clone
>>386455467
>Sonic Adventure 2
>samey
Literally every character had a unique theme with a unique tone. Knuckles and Rogue's tracks in particular were polar opposites.
>>386457804
>>386457710
A peculiar gameplay element in the returning Hydro City Zone is Sonic's ability to run on water after reaching a certain speed. It's fitting that this action is so reminiscent of Jesus Christ, because that's what you'll be shouting at the TV as you fail to gain enough speed and fall into the water for the 20th time.
>>386420404
Spagonia.
>>386457710
This is a sign that they're just trying to find anything bad to say about Mania. They desperate. They just can't do one Sonic review without being negative.
>>386458425
who does he think he is? JEEEEESUS?
>>386457710
>>386458020
I mean I'm a faggot doesn't like blue spheres but come on. This is /v/-tier cherrypicking, hell maybe even Sonic Retro-tier cherrypicking.
>>386420404
Palmtree Panic in Good Future
It's literally a paradise.
>>386458651
So what's the story behind Sonic Retro? Why is it so hated?
I went there once and it was basically just a sonic wiki. Am I missing something here?
>>386458837
There's a forum there, and they have a history of being incredibly anal about the series.I just go there to help with my shitty Sonic hacks though so I haven't really seen much of it.
>>386420404

Metal Sonic better be more than an appearance, and the story better not make him just a jobber like in CD.
I want him to be a playable easter egg.
>>386431576
Sonic Adventure's ambitious bit it in the ass but it's still a perfectly playable game that you can find fun in. I'm not sure if a new player would take shit like the lip flaps, bad voice directing, and Meme the Cat with either an attitude of sweet irony, fun cheesy stuff, or unbearable cringe though.
Sonic Adventure 2 was a step-up in almost every way. All three modes have their redeeming features even if modern lookers condemn the hunting and mecha levels. With this one it really depends more on the level than anything. Speed levels excel more on Radical Highway than Crazy Gadget just like hunting levels excel more on Pumpkin Hill than Mad Space and mecha levels excel more on Cosmic Wall than on Sand Ocean. So the biggest complaint is that some stages are just bad.
And I still don't know why Battle gutted some of the Chao garden areas.
>>386458837
It's got a screening process and a trial process before you can post in the forums. Considering the quality shit posting we are blessed on this board every day, you can imagine not many people get through it, leaving a little if salty fuckers.
>>386458837
the forum are rich of classicbros, so all adventurefags are mad when they go there and get roasted, so they call simple critiques of the adventure gameplay "autistic cherrypicking"also they are autistic about any other detail of the series

This still reads like an alternate universe EPG who hates blue spheres as much as half pipe.

I played them both for the first time a year ago and I can say 1 was pretty good and 2 was trash.

Something like 400MB.
I just got Taxman Sonic 2 and christ the special stages are borderline impossible it's controls so bad on a touch screen
Wish it just controlled like Sonic Rush special stages

I had no problems with it, maybe wipe your greasy fingers before playing, burger.
