Is Flying Battery act 2 the biggest level in the game? The level is so big that the top, bottom, and even middle routes are entirely different from each other at times and the level it pretty fucking long on top of that. It was the only level I timed out on due to stubborn exploring, and I feel like a lot of people probably timed out on the boss fight due to the nature of the fight itself and the length of the level.

>>389363436
Now that I think about it, yeah it probably is. The only other Zone with a similar length is Titanic Monarch but that one's pretty linear. FBZ is fucking huge, especially for how early in the game it appears.

Was that just Sega's attempt at trying to steal credit and make it seem like they had more involvement in the game's development than the actual devs did? Or was it just them sucking their own dicks? Cause the credit theme was just about long enough to cover all the actual devs IIRC. It feels way over-bloated to the point where they had to use four different songs during the whole thing.

Is modding the PC version possible now that Denuvo's been cracked? I know there were mods before, but virtually all of them were sprite swaps.

>>389366849
I'm pretty sure it's both.

>>389367076
Sprite swaps were the easiest mods to make because the format RSDK isn't fully known yet. Denuvo doesn't have much to do with that, but I'm sure the lack of DRM will open a few more doors.

>>389367076
Denuvo wont affect mods.

>Favorite zone?
Metallic Madness or Titanic Monarch, I'll need to replay the game again to really decide which I liked more.
>Least favorite zone?
Despite the original being one of my favorite classic zones, Hydrocity didn't really live up to expectations. Act 1 was Labyrinth tier slow (probably because of the elements used from Labyrinth zone) and the boats didn't add much, act 2 felt closer to the original Hydrocity but didn't really stick with me. The act 1 boss was a cool throwback but awkward to fight and probably won't be fun to replay, and act 2 was also a nice new idea and throwback but the fight was ultimately two halves of mid-boss fights.
>Favorite boss?
Probably MBM, Mega Octus was also a pretty good fight.
>Least favorite boss?
Probably Shiver Saw, it was just slow and awkward with a lot of standing around, it should have had a longer reach or extra attack to it. What do you even do if you break all the boxes and haven't killed it yet?
>Favorite song?
MBM song, it's just too good. Metallic Madness 2 and Titanic Monarch 1/2 are also great.
>Favorite character?
Sonic.
>Biggest surprise from the game?
Mean Bean and Bean. MBM was genuinely surprising and I had no idea about because I went in blind, and I was surprised to get attacked by Bean and see him with an actual sprite. Mfw seeing both of these things.
Special stages are also very fun to play.

>>389368669
That PG1 boss can actually be safely attacked without boxes. If you're close and immediately jump over a saw as its expanding, you can get a hit in without taking damage.

I think Press Garden is kind of a dumb and gimmicky zone theme. When I first heard the name I thought it would mean press as in pressed flowers, not actual printing presses. I guess maybe that's the joke though, a play on words.

>>389372272
>Eggman's printing press
>You go to the forest that he's deforesting to make the newspapers
Shit like that makes my dick hard.

>>389372431
Part of me wishes that there was more signs of Eggman cutting down all the trees in Act 2's background and not just the occasional log shredder, but the other part of me likes the serene snowy forest too much to want machines to be ripping it up.

From what I can tell, it's related to if/how often you get hit, if you have a perfect run (no hits and no lost shields) it's up to 10,000 and if you die at all it's zero. There might be some other things that factor into it but I'm pretty sure that's the main thing.

>>389361704
How far can you mod this game though?
AFAIK you can only modify textures but not add anything worthwhile to the actual game.

>>389361704
Do I actually have to play the game to unlock a Blue Sphere level select or is there just some code I can put in

>>389374684
The spider boss is actually consistent. You just have realize that it can't get knocked far away if it's in the ground. It needs to rise up a little.

You just keep it stunned by hitting the abdomen part until the pillars show up and then you can get two easy hits per pillar. When there are spikes on both sides of the room, a charged spin dash into the abdomen is strong enough to bounce it into them.

It's not the most intuitive boss because of the ground quirk but yeah, the boss is totally consistent.

>>389374754
It's about how many times you get hit. No hits yields the greatest bonus, dying gives you a big fat zero, and each hit seems to reduce it by 1000 points from what I can tell. Though I've heard of it going over 9k/10k points from anons, so there may be another factor to it that isn't known about yet.

Posted this in a previous thread (didn't know it was bait), but feel free to express if anything you agree or disagree with is showing.

How I envision to fix Sonic:

For any type of Sonic game to work correctly in level design, you need to take in longevity, condension, and space. A trifecta of perfect balance makes a great level to play through.

3D Sonic in sprawling, wide, big spaces doesn't work if levels are linear. 2D Sonic in spacious mazes of levels can be like puzzles, and too much space between stage objects can cause it to feel empty.

Dimps overuses the key term of speed, which is why people make fun of them. Gamecube Sonic games were fun but also fucking long because of their longevity, not to mention Unleashed's Eggmanland stage. Fan games can get it right, but only if they take these into consideration.

To fix Sonic, you have to control the balance of longevity, condension and space. Too much or too little throws the stage off.

>>389376235
you're bad and will grow to appreciate it

>>389376235
It's one of the best designed levels in the whole game (and maybe series) and anyone who hates it is a fucking shitter.

Favorite zone?

Least favorite zone?
Probably Lava Reef.

Favorite boss?
Heavy Magician

Least favorite boss?
Probably Oil Ocean Act 1 and only because it's so easy you may as well just put a goalpost there instead of a boss

Favorite song?
Studiopolis Act 2

Favorite character?
I enjoyed playing as Sonic but Knuckles was really up there in terms of exploration. Tails is just Sonic but he can fly so I'm gonna go with Knuckles.

Biggest surprise from the game?

It is a law of the universe that Eggman must consistently be the best character in everything he's in.

Its not clear whether Eggman built stuff like Chemical Plant, Casino Night, and Oil Ocean zone or just took them over.

>>389378121
That's exactly why Eggman is so easy and braindead in that fight, just so people who have never played Puyo before don't hit a brick wall at the second zone.

Why don't you post your first 26 minutes of Sonic Mania and show how far you got huh?

So far, I'm at the Press Garden Zone and I'm not really feeling the "wow" factor. It's been fun so far, but most of the time, I feel like things are happening too fast (and too automatically) for me to really feel like I'm purposefully doing anything. The bits I really like so far are the boss fights.

Is there a point I'll reach when it'll suddenly click or is Sonic just not really for me?

Not to be mean, but if you got a game over in Sonic Mania you should stop playing games, I just ended my first run ever and I ended up with 46 lives, all the emeralds and I only died 3 times.. all of those were because a platfrom crushed me.

So seriously, if you got at least one game over unironically kill yourself, you're a retard.

Beat the game like an hour ago. It was pretty dope. Probably my second favourite Sonic game after Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
I didn't get a single fucking emerald and only managed to snag a few emblems on the special stages. I love Blue Spheres, but I kind of blow dick at it.
Probably going to jump on Time Attack in a while. It's where I've spent most of my time with the series anyway. Other than that, I'll play through the game as Knuckles.

I can't wait for the Mania vinyl to come out.

You can also just jump through all the bumpers to change the path your on. At least that's how I did it, should've known moonwalking was the true answer.

>>389380935
What do you mean by this?

Okay after my first run and half into the second I have some things to say

The zone transitions are missing in some zones, that bothered me
Since there are no Super Emeralds there is no reason to explore the levels once you get them all, especially since you can pretty much get all of them by the end of CPZ act 1. S3&K did it great by splitting them into two halves

Everything else is top tier

>>389380935
>beat the game as Knuckles & Knuckles
>becomes Knuckles & Knuckles & Knuckles]
Oh No

>>389381124
>that bouncer near the rings
wait no, it's not like that
you press forward after grabbing the last ring, don't you
that's the whole reason of going backwards

It has probably been discussed to death already but I really didn't like the nonsense order of the stages.
The bad ending clearly shows Little Planet, so why the fuck Sonic would be in Stardust Speedway then go to Hydrocity, which is on Angel Island, and then come back to Little Planet again with Metallic Madness?
It makes no sense.
Plus, I wish all levels had those short transition cutscenes, not just a handful of them.

>>389381809
Its not very likely to happen though. I felt like the Giant Rings were decently spaced, if I weren't so retarded at the Special Stage I'd have had them in one run as Knuckles, 2 as Sonic since my,first run was blind.

1 was sort of small scale, it wasn't really implied he was doing anything beyond the scope of roboticizing the shit in his general vicinity.

2 upped the ante with the Death Egg, but he still wasn't really doing much besides building fortresses and shit on a different island and constructing a space station, the scale of which we never see in game.

3 gets more serious in that we finally see the fruits of his labor, but it still never really says he plans on blowing up the Earth with his knockoff Death Star. For all we know it could just be a staging ground for all his equipment and shit, a place to construct legions of deforestation robots and chemical sprayers without worry of interference from a certain hedgehog.

CD is the most blatant in its nature vs technology theme, and shows his most ambitious plan yet, roboticizing a whole planet and mastering time itself. The bad futures are his end goal, where nature is decaying and technology thrives.

It's easier from a concept standpoint, but they compensate by adding spikes and enemies in bullshit places and making the zones about one and a half times longer. They're easy as shit to complete (went in blind, never needed a continue), but unless you're really good or really lucky you're going to end up with a shit score at the end. The level design is less focused on killing you and more on wasting your time and fucking you over at random times, which is objectively bad design for a Sonic game. The devs like Sonic CD way too much.

I know there's at least one pit in Green Hill and one in Studiopolis but you have to go really out of your way to find either one, and there's a big pit on the "underneath the ship" route in Flying Battery for obvious reasons. Other than that the game is pretty much pit-free.

I'm not a big Sonic fan, what's the big deal about the characters the magic robot turned into in Mirage Saloon?

None of them have appeared in an actual game in decades, and they have a small fan following because of the comics.

>>389384589
The barrel is not intuitive because it reacts to jumping and falling momentum, and that leads to players concluding that it must be a momentum based obstacle that they have to jump on at a certain height to get past. The only indication that you press up and down to get past it is literally in the game manual. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't that one route that forces you to get past a barrel in CNZ 1.

>>389384836
I see. Thank you.

Nostalgiafags creaming themselves over characters that only appeared in shitty spinoffs and comics.
>"OMGguise they brought them back so obscure much nostalgia"
Yet the level design is schizophrenic, the music ranges from awesome to bad remix, and A TWO-WEEK DELAY TO ADD THE SHITTIEST DRM PROGRAM IN COMMON USE. It's a good game and all, but they focused more on little nods and references than good game design.

Ironically, in the absense of Carnival Night, it's the propeller pillars in Flying Battery. A lot of people don't realize that jumping off in the direction you want is as simple as holding left/right before you jump. You don't have to react to the animation.

A lot of people either haven't played 3&K or never caught onto this behavior back then, leading to entirely avoidable frustration. With the boss in particular.

Just started today and i gotta admit game is pretty damn fucking fun, except some collisions issues i got in chemical plant 1 with the staircause blocks where you end up getting crushed for seemingly no reason.

Get close to a wall. The boss will hit the wall instead of you, breaking the saw.

>>389385642
i mean i guess its not really clear for some people, you would expect to get the biggest distance when sonic is at the edge of the ball instead of the middle

I literally had to mash through all of the ones where they expected me to go left. It's nowhere near as bad as the barrel, because you can actually beat it with a bit of luck.

You get literally nothing from gold medals except epen, just focus on the silver medals, and if even that is too intense for you, just grab the save editor and unlock everything, you fag.

>>389385498
Just keep going my man.
Me and my brother are playing the game now, he's a beast in catch the ufo and I suck at them.
But he sucks in blue spheres while I'm great at it.

So, uh, why was the game so fucking easy?

Ghost Trap.

>>389385838
Yeah but you can quickly realize that through trial and error on your first attempt.
Titanic Monarch is probably one of the best made levels in the game.

>>389384297
Neither. Octo is entirely fair if you don't play like a twonk and TMZ2 is easy as fuck and actually sort of fun in comparison to 1.
There are a few unintuitive things in the game like dropping mines in HCZ1 boss but fortunately none of them are required to complete the game

>>389386135
Honey was a contender but definitely became less obscure thanks to the port of Sonic The Fighters last gen as well as the comics.

At this point it's probably Ray.

>>389386408
Mania does a great job with silently teaching the player how mechanics and stage specific elements work, and always presents them in a safe (and often unavoidable) manner. Just about every zone has one case of it, I'd say, they teach you how things work without you realizing it and then let you try it out yourself.

>>389373024
This.

Debating can be fun, but sometimes you have to pretend you're mad to get others to play ball. So you exaggerate a bit.

I was very confused, but started to enjoy it quickly. Edging on sadness that the minigame had to be made easy for the sake of those that had never seen it before. I wouldn't mind it as some kind of unlockable mode.

>>389387271
>I wouldn't mind it as some kind of unlockable mode
It is.

>>389387198
all mods currently are shitty reskins and cheats that enable multiple abilities at the same time.

Without access to the .exe nothing good will ever come to the game.

Oh shit. I should go about completing the game then. I'm autistically trying to find all ring zones myself, presently.

>>389387585
Do Blue Spheres. ignore the rings if you really want the unlockables but don't care about the achievement.

I enjoy finding the rings myself, though. The game is a bit easy, which I'm fine with. It's fun, but being able find the ring zones without help is a nice challenge without imposing some kind of artificial limitation on how I play.

>>389388339
Sorry, I don't mean the big rings for special stages, I meant the regular rings in the bonus stages that give you a gold medal for collecting all of them. Its a fair bit harder and you only get an achievement out of it.

>>389377470
He's like Lex Luthor. His hatred of his rival is an unhealthy obsession.

>>389387770
Do you have to get all of the Gold Medals for all of the unlockables or are silver acceptable?

You don't need any gold medals for unlockables, the only thing they give are an achievement for getting all of them. Silver medals are what are required for unlocking stuff.

Why don't we have an Eggman spinoff game yet? Everything Eggman related is consistently good, so surely a game STARRING him would be excellent?

>>389389080
I imagine it'd be something like The Incredible Machine, or maybe a Mario Maker type level builder game where you make tracks for Sonic to run through. Maybe even a Roller Coaster Tycoon ripoff.

>Favorite zone?
Studiopolis Zone. I would have liked the second act to have moved into more of a movie theme, but I still enjoyed it.
>Least favorite zone?
Probably Green Hill Zone. I've seen everything this that stage has to offer, and there's not one stage I didn't have fun in, even if I got stuck for a while.
>Favorite boss?
Metal Sonic. Fucking amazing. Didn't just reference two Metal Sonic fights, but THREE (if you played Triple Trouble) I wouldn't have minded it having another act so the rest of the Robot Sonic gang could get up in there
>Least favorite boss?
Oil Ocean. Fucking bullshit it is.
>Favorite song?
The Mini Boss theme. But if it has to be a stage, then Studiopolis Act One.
>Favorite character?
Sanic, of course.
Out of the Heavies, Ninja

I have one minor complaint.
What the hell happened to the stage transitions? I mean, it's not make or break for me, but I'd rather not have any at all if they're just going to stop halfway.

And why not Robuttnic leave Little Planet alone? This is like the 3rd-4th time he's chained the poor planet down.
