Is he right?

>>387330464
I don't know if he's right about Mania because I haven't played it yet, but he's definitely right about the old Sonic games not being good.

he's wrong imo

>>387330464
Whether right or wrong, there are two reasons he cannot be trusted. First, he gets paid to write about vidya. Second, he has a forename for a surname. But yes he's wrong.

>Throwback to Sonic 1, 2, 3&K, CD
>Plays almost exactly the same
>Looks almost exactly the same
>Shares some stages and bosses from those games
>implying this would be good if those weren't any good

Reviewer confirmed retard just throwing out an inflammatory clickbait headline

>>387330464
IF YOU DISAGREE YOU CAN CALL THE COPS
DUDE SONIC SHIT LMAO

fuck american clickbaiters

>>387330464
How were the genesis games bad when mania sucks the genesis titles cock very very good? Even so far as having a genesis cartridge with a genesis box in the CE. It's main inspiration is the genesis games... Idk

ain't like half the game literally a rehash of old sonic levels?

I feel like this is marketing targeted at casualfags who only recently started vidya, as in
>Hey don't worry about never having played those tired old Sonic games, they were shit anyway! Show everyone how cool and in-the-know you are by buying this rad new game instead!

>>387330464

>sonic the hedgehog 1
>about speed

lol

>>387330848
Oh so you can only see things in the vaguest terms possible because you're retarded?

>>387330464

2D fags are pieces of shit that will ignore past games

Of course they would say that. I love Mania but let's not forget that Colors and Generations are a thing

Clickbait trash

>>387330464
I liked the old ones. They aren't the best games but they certainly aren't bad.

>>387332834
If you seriously think that clickbait headline is "vague", you are a colossal idiot.

If you like Mania then you like Sonic 2, CD, and 3K.

There's no getting around that.

>>387332948
Colors and half of Gens were boost2win.

Great visuals though.

>>387330464
Sonic games have been not bad (not saying all good, just not bad) for literally a fucking decade.
And before that the handheld games were, you know, not terrible.
These are facts, objective motherfucking facts.
I don't even like Sonic, but Jesus Christ the way people try to meme this shit into reality is insane.

>lets try to revise history, Sonic 2 and 3&K were never good
This is retarded. They've been considered some of the very best 16-bit games since they were released. Not by all, but that's ok. They still had a rep.

What is with all this revisionist bullshit I've seen at every level of popular culture in recent years? I've even seen many say Mega Man was never good. The fuck?

Not when Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, CD, Adventure 2 and Generations exist

They just want to have sex with Big the Cat

>>387333343
Casuals. /v/ is full of them.

Clickbait-money, paid directional-marketing and some Schlomo-schemes mixed in.

Good games = Good Graphics to far too many people nowadays

>>387333495
yea i was lurking a pokemon thread earlier and there were people saying XY were the best games in the series. We unironically have mobile game threads.

This board is fucking dead as I knew it. I don't even know why I come here anymore.

>>387333549
>2d sonic games have bad graphics
is this even an opinion

>>387333549
The most stupid thing i have ever heard.

I will be honest, i dont play many games, almost nothing, but even i can know thats bullshit.

I blame people like pewdiepie and the game grumps. Specially the game grumps since egoraptor was the one who brainwashed the youth of the world into believing sonic is shit.

Saying there's no good sonic games before Mania, is a fucking meme. The reason sonic is any good to begin with is because it started off good, then it had a decade or so of shit and now it's returned to form.

>>387333658
I only come here for waifu and loli threads desu

>just parroting some quadruple chinned weirdo that got his start on newgrounds making shitty cartoons

That's what I'd like to say, but I used to like the guy despite disagreeing with him on certain things. His main flaw is that he is convinced he knows enough about games to have a say on objective flaws in design when he really doesn't know that much. He just doesn't.

I never really payed attention to vidya journalism. Was it always so shit?

>>387334223
It was never great but it's gotten worse as the target demographics have shifted from hobbyists to casuals and SJWs. Also it's never been journalism, it's always been editorials and marketing.

>>387330464
Did these niggers never play Sonic Generations?

Reviewers are retarded casuals. News at 11.

>>387330464
The original Sonic games were good, but they weren't as good as the Mario games that were being released at the same time. Super Mario World was miles ahead of Sonic

Sonic 1 isn't a very good game I agree there and I can only play it for novelty (only via the taxman port btw) but 2 and 3&K are decent enough to jump into
