So apparently IGN admits they have a bias against Sonic the hedgehog. Even Aaron is calling them out on it. How fucked are they?

Much like the majority of hipster faggits that rag on about how bad the adventure games are, but only get E ranks.
IGN has a bias against games that require you to git gud.
Christian Thomas
I don't really like Sonic, and it's been years since I last played one, but did they give reasons as to why Sonic is bad. Not why they don't like it, but why Sonic is a bad game. It seems to be to a lot of people that Sonic is bad, but no one can explain why or is willing to.

The "Sonic was never good" meme was created and perpetuated by nu-males who never played/got gud at the originals, and think they know a lot about game design because they took a class at community college. I guarantee all of them think video games are art too.

I also hate Sonic the hedgehog and its fans.

Conspiracy call out:
"SONIC WAS NEVER GOOD" is the nu-male campaign to get back at the Sonic twitter for being 'problematic' and not playing ball with the SJW agenda. If they can't control that popular twitter, then they will smear it.
Ryan Hughes
I don't like IGN but there isn't a single good Sonic game out there. The 2D ones are shitty platformers and the 3D ones are shitty adventure games. The only thing they ever did well was the art assets in the 2D ones and some of the music, their gameplay has always been mediocre at best.
Kayden Morgan

Landon Cruz
fuck off niggers I've been saying that all Sonic games were shit long before the whole twitter thing. Their gameplay is impressively mediocre and their level design is generally extremely dull. The 2D ones have sluggish movement and only function as intended once you have completely memorized the level layout, and the 3D ones have extremely gratuitous auto aim in the combat with lots of sections where you do nothing but hold the joystick further. Unless you're a degenerate furry who can only get hard looking at cartoony anthros, I really do not understand why you would like these games. People only like these games because of the incredibly smart marketing of the early games (I mean Sonic 2 is the reason that games nowadays still get released on Tuesdays, that's some powerful marketing).
I just don't get what value they have over something like the 2D/3D Mario games because they do absolutely everything worse. Gameplay of the 2D ones only works once you've memorized the level layout, and the gameplay in the 3D ones is full of noskill auto aim attacks and sections where you just press forward for a long time. The art direction after the 2D ones is terrible, the music is sometimes decent, and obviously story is a non-factor. I have tried to like all of the ones that were well regarded like SA2 and the originals but found nothing of value. You casuals only like Sonic because of very competent marketing with the early games and nostalgia.
Isaac Scott
IGN are casuals.
They literally give games bad scores just because they're too hard like a bitch.
the video is retarded, but yes IGN hates sonic, but its because they are shit at sonic games and because the sanic twitter triggers them
and its not just IGN, these retards never figured out how to hold a controller properly or something
some highlights
Brayden Perry
Do people even fucking know how to make WebM's anymore around here. Fucks sake.
Thomas Butler
Homing Attack was introduced because it's a pain in the fucking ass to platform and jump on enemies in 3D, especially with as high-speed a game as Sonic and the way spinning was changed in the transition to 3D. Hell, Mario 64's a much much slower-pace game and it still takes a bit of finagling to jump on shit, which is why you can punch.
Jaxon Russell
user, please do us anons a favor and commit suicide. For science.
Ryder Roberts
I like the games because they are fun, the marketing didn't even reach my country.
Easton Edwards
The guy in that video literally didn't know how to move forward and jump at the same time.
Hunter Williams
You can hear they never played a Sonic game for more than a minute, they push and push bullshit through there mouths like they are paid for it.
Wyatt Stewart

Bentley Thomas
more like nobody cares about "muh views", yeah right you must think that 3 views with adblock enabled got them like amillion dollars
Jaxon Myers
They are probably partly to blame for poorly optimized games, as they're no longer made by autistic code wizards but by hipster design graduates.
It's perfectly easy to play Sonic quickly without getting fucked in the ass. Obviously, having the levels memorized is a boon, but all you need to reach the end of the level quickly is fast reaction times. Mario would have the same problem, where a sluggish individual would struggle to go through the level quickly without memorizing it. The gameplay is good too - they have good physics and tight controls, each level is challenging and distinct without being gimmicky, and the bosses and enemies are memorable. That's not touching on the great sprites and 10/10 music. Not commenting on the 3D games since I don't feel as strongly about them, but Sonic 1-3 are brilliant.
Matthew Bailey

Jayden Johnson
There was always an appreciation for sonic, It had something in one of the games that someone would like. Now it's just Holla Forums buckling down on their love of sonic like crazy because SJW's said they don't like it and we have to do the opposite and always like sonic or else haram.
Andrew Allen
It's reasonably active.
Parker Morgan
Because it was a good game in a time when games were simple and fun. But it got a lot of sequels and became an autistic cash cow. I get funny feelings in my tummy when I think about sonic. It's almost like I need to take a shit but I just can't for sentimental reasons. The genesis was the first console I actually 'owned' so I'm attached to it.
Luis Stewart
It's surprisingly active.
Hunter Evans
Look at this webm. This is the first level of Sonic Advance 2. The main problems I have with Sonic are illustrated in this webm. The first thing I dislike is that there is always something put in the way of maintaining your momentum. There are springs and loops that give Sonic a boost in speed that are then followed by spikes, a conveniently placed enemy, or a pit that can either lead to death or an alternate route. This is bullshit. These levels play like obstacle courses that you've got to replay numerous times in order to memorize each obstacle before you can get through them in an efficient manner. That by itself is fine, because this encourages players to master the game, but I don't think these make for good platforming. I feel like things would be more interesting if the player had more ways to control Sonic's momentum in order to keep a flow rather than learn how to do so through incredible repetition.
The first level is always the easiest. Later on shit gets even more annoying.
Lucas Morgan
h*ck off tumblrtale i dont like you
Connor Lewis
Nice strawman webm faggot
Nathan Brown
I don't remember advance 2 being annoying. Advance 1 is the best one anyeays
Alexander King
You're ignoring the fact that Advance 2 was on the GBA and had a shit resolution compared to the early 2D games, so of course it's going to be harder to anticipate oncoming obstacles. Plus they are obstacle courses, but you can easily get around most of those obstacles by having good reaction times. It's exactly like if you tried to run through a level in super mario bros.
Samuel Reed
"Uhm, let's insult this classic and see how many clicks we get…"
Isaac Martin
This seems incredibly tame by sonic standards. I can't recall exactly, but one of the later stages in the original Sonic has a booster that runs directly into a spike wall. The most inconvenient thing here is the vertical springboards.
Colton Russell
People started noticing the bullshit after they rated the shittier Wii port of Unleashed higher than the 360 port which got a score lower than fucking 06.
Jacob Sanchez

Ryan Gonzalez
post yfw when it was not Gamergate but Sonicgate that actually gives the fatal blow to game journalism because they were stupid enough to insult a large majority of their audience.
Born after the 16 bit console wars so it was never the marketing that appealed me. Sonic looking like Felix the Cat was what interested me at the time. But overall it was the simple fact that you can attack by jumping while platforming.
Kevin Mitchell
Why not
#SonicJustice
I think anything with -gate sounds grating.
Joseph Garcia
Reminder that Sonic Spinball was the last game in the franchise that wasn't a weaponized combination of AIDS and cancer.
Ian Phillips
Maybe, however I'm talking about how these games are designed. They have always deliberately been made with "designated speed sections" and "designated platforming sections" and the two never mix well. In Act I of Angel Island Zone, there are nine obstacles to traverse - rocks, springs that push you back, and spikes - followed by a loop at the end that leads to a boss. What do these obstacles provide other than something to memorize and move over? From a speed running perspective, this is interesting because a speed runner will play through this same level, and the entire game, over and over again and figure out strategies to get past the level as quickly as possible, and in doing so will learn to overcome the obstacles through memorization and trial and error. On the other hand, the average player will stumble his way through these levels and feel frustrated at how poorly these elements mix. Speed and platforming don't mix well, and I'm just saying that Sonic shouldn't try to mix the two. Instead come up with ways they can be used independently of one another. If not, then think of some ingenuous way to mix them that doesn't involve a shit ton of autism and memorizing levels.
Jack Martin
Oh, and you say Sonic needs more ways to control his momentum, yet Advance 2 was the game that introduced the tricks as a way to control his momentum. Are you actually familiar with the series all that well?
Jason Howard
What you're describing is platforming games in general, though. Every level is just a collection of obstacles for you to avoid. Any first-time player of any platformer, aside from the easiest of them, is going to stumble a bit through the game. That's just what being unfamiliar with a level means. Sonic's speed and flow was meant to be a reward for getting good at the game, not the default.
Grayson Brown
Like I said, having obstacles isn't a big deal if you've got good reaction times, which you should if you play vidya. It's not trial and error, it's just a platformer that requires you to make quick decisions.
Hunter Bennett
Alright, so what do you think is wrong with Sonic as a franchise, and what do you think could be done to remedy those problems? Surely you're not going to imply that these games are perfect and beyond criticism.
Jeremiah Cox
One day this house of cards will fall down.
Cameron Bennett
What do you mean by "as a franchise"? I ask this because there are a lot of different styles of Sonic games, from the Genesis titles to the Generations formula.
Robert Martinez
There are typically two styles of mainline Sonic games, the 2D games (Sonic 1 - 3, Sonic CD, Sonic Advance) and the 3D games (Adventure 1 and 2, Heroes, etc). There is no consensus on what has been done best, you've got a split fanbase with people who like one style over the other and differing opinions all around. I'm generally referring to either one of these two mainline styles. Forget about Sonic Pinball, forget about Sonic Racing or any other spinoff games. Those games have their merit, but they're spinoffs that aren't necessarily designed to be Sonic games, but are made to feature Sonic and his cast of friends.
Jason Powell
Even then, there are splits, though. All the Dimps 2D games post Advance 1 play very differently from the "classic" Sonic 2D games. Adventure 1 - '06 play very similarly to each other, but then Unleashed completely changed it up, then Lost World changed it again.
Elijah Wright
It will.
Nolan Evans
This is probably why IGN is openly admitting their bias now, since all the "cool kids" are doing it they can say they were doing it before it was cool!
Sounds to me like you're describing Sonic Rush, which was IIRC also made by Dimps
Evan Bennett

I am no longer fooling around. You faggots need to get up to speed and do things properly.
William Cooper
Except it isn't. It's reusing ideas from a canceled Sonic game on the Saturn. I'm tired of hearing.
Mason Turner
I haven't played all the Sonic games, admittedly. I have played 1, 2, Sonic CD, 3 and Knuckles, Sonic 3D Blast,Sonic Spinball, Adventure 1 and 2, Sonic Advance 2, and Sonic Heroes. I can safely rule out spin off titles, and my only interpretation of a "mainline Sonic game" is the ones in which Sonic goes through a series of different themed courses, collects rings and emeralds, and fights mecha devised by Eggman at the end. That's what Sonic started as, and there are some deviations from this, but if I had to come up with a solid definition for what makes a Sonic game, that would be it.
So, back to the question. How do you think Sonic as a franchise could be improved?
Why do people hate Dimps so much?
Looks like garbage, if I'm honest.
Landon Powell
I remembered being so excited for this game because I thought it was a spiritual successor to Xtreme. Sadly it was pretty mehish which didn't copy Mario Galaxy but Mario as a series in general. It was a decent rental though.

That question still doesn't make sense in context to what you were discussing. As a whole, I'd say it should stop trying to "innovate" every other game and find a good formula to polish up and expand on.
If we're talking 2D games only, the general gameplay is fine, Sonic & co. control well, the level design in general is serviceable, and it's generally well polished. The games aren't absolutely perfect, but they don't have any blatant flaws, either (unless we're talking Dimps' later entries into the series). If I were to improve them, starting from S3&K as a base, I would do more with having separate paths for the different playable characters that take advantage of their abilities, maybe even have exclusive power-ups for each. I would spread out the special zone entrances more evenly so that the majority of them aren't in the first few acts of the game. I'd try not to have level obstacles or gimmicks that involve waiting around for long periods of time.
Colton Adams
>>>/monster/
Xavier Gomez
It's a short level 1.
U wot m8, you see them and bypass them it's not a science I can see the level right there nothing presented was near unreactable the one time you get hit was because you walked on top of the spike trap when it was present there before. Fucking mario is a shit I can't beat the game in under 7 minuets my first try and there is only 6 obstacles the whole game that do nothing but force memorization. By making damage recoverable easy which is what they do.
Alexander Moore
Modern casuals hate old sonic games because they can't be bothered to gitgud and memorize. Modern casuals like new 2D sonic because they hold down boost and win. Everyone hates elements of 3D sonic- except the sonic sections which are better (though not always good) and the music.
Fair assessment?

They are kind of right, It's not that Sonic was never good, he was just never great. Sonic games were never at the same level of quality as Mario or Mega Man, but he's generally held up as high as both of them, Sonic is only a great show of how strong marketing can push an average series into the spotlight and keep it there.
Joshua Rodriguez

Mario is great because he's innovative even if they're not perfect. There is no such thing as a perfect game. People keep forgetting that Mega Man had a bunch of meh to bad games ratio similar to Sonic (Rockman Xover, Megaman X7 shit tier, the Legends series being flawed but still beloved just like the Adventure series). The marketing excuse is bullshit. Again there are people that just like a platformer where you can run like crazy while turning into a weapon when you jump just like people like tight controls and platformers in just shooting forward.
Justin Rogers
Just you for being a tremendous faggot.
Michael Ortiz
Why argue about mario vs sonic? Sports games are shit.
Lincoln Ross
I've tried Mario games multiple times and they've always felt boring to me. Felt too slow and the platforming was just "eh". Maybe it's because I've been playing Sonic since I was a kid but I never really got the appeal of Mario games.
Liam Allen
The only real drawback I can see to them compared to Mario and Mega Man is that they're fairly short, but that doesn't make them not on par.
Oliver Rodriguez
If you want a fast paced mario game play Either 64 or Sunshine.They can be fast and fluid if you can git gud.

Adam Turner
Mario 64 DS is inferior to the original.
Should've been made as a 3DS title where it would actually have a controller stick instead of using the D-Pad or the god awful touch screen controls
Luke Parker
Mostly because you have different taste. Or maybe mood. I always compare Sonic and Mario to whether you want to go exploring roads in a smooth drive or just take it slow in a nice hike where you can fully engage with your surroundings. When I want a good challenge, I play Mega Man. When I want to enjoy the platforming completely and engage with the environment then it's Mario I'd play. If I want to enjoy running and enjoy the speed without worry as I can turn into a ball and I can pick up my health back even if I get hurt, then I'd play Sonic. The only way you can compare one game to another is how well they are put together. Mario isn't great because of his method of platforming, he's great because again he can bring innovative ideas and also his games are the most tightly knit and stable games we played. But just because Mario doesn't have fast paced combat like Sonic and Mega Man doesn't mean one side is wrong in playing them, because it all comes down to what you feel like playing.
Cameron Reed
You take that back. 3D land sure but not 3d World. I had way too much fun than I've had in a long time with that game.
Brayden Price
Sonic Team needs to stick to one style (one for 2D and one for 3D) and continue to improve on it. They're on a good track with the 2D style with how Sonic Mania looks. For 3D they just need to improve upon Generations since that one is the best 3D one so far.
Yeah that's what usually hear. I did also play SMB3 on GBA and just wasn't feeling it.
Yeah I just figured Mario games just aren't my thing but I'm not gonna run up to someone and say "The thing you like is shit because I don't like it". Sonic is definitely not without it's flaws but man it seems like it's negatives are inflated to unnecessary proportions to the point where people say there's never been a good Sonic game. It's had a lot of average to mediocre titles though the only truly bad ones so far have been 06' and Boom. Hell Lost World wasn't that bad but you see them going "Hurrr Sanic Cycle"
Angel Gonzalez
but sonic team isn't making mania
Camden Torres
Well then Sega made the right call with having that guy who ported the older games work on it rather than DIMPS again after Sonic 4.
Austin Sanders
If Mario 64 was done on the 3DS it would have curtailed the unfiltered textures and the lower-resolution. Having that 3DS Zelda or Mario 3D Land polish would have been spectacular and worth running through the extra content
The Advance port of SMB3 is for playing the eReader exclusive levels. One good thing about the Virtual Console release is that they're all unlocked from the get-go.
Evan Allen
Dimps aren't hated, it's just that their talents lie outside making good Sonic games. Sega probably didn't care about that too much at the time, but at least they won't need to bring them on again now the likes of Taxman and Stealth are running the asylum.
Well, there's the people here and elsewhere who say that Sonic = autism. Which is true, though not because he's furry. They see that people can go fast and try it themselves but they aren't good so they blame the games because they aren't used to them. A common complaint being "You have to memorize everything or you get hit every five seconds!" Which isn't true, but memorizing things is key in speedruns and Sonic is basically Speedrun: the Game which they are likely acutely aware of and realize it when they play it and then lament on why they aren't that good. In my eyes speedruns and high-level gameplay is pretty damn autistic but nobody ever says it about things like Doom or DMC.
There's also the sect of Adventure whose members likely first got into the series through the Gamecube releases or worse, Sonic X and are in my opinion the greatest single source of autism you can find near the series. They've been getting uppity lately since the anniversary conference isn't giving them Adventure 3, even though they've already had it and it's Sonic '06, don't even try arguing it. All it's missing is the name and the Chao Garden. Being a buggy mess isn't in its favour there though. They'll likely reject both the new games because it's not what they wanted.
Zachary Barnes
ayylmao convinced him to give up on animation a long time ago
Jordan Scott
Mario has aged better though. What is SMB2 USA, SMB3, SMW, Yoshi's Island?
Camden Perez

Zachary Sanders
Do people still treat IGN serious despite they're often getting called out on their bullshit?
I wish they were part of Gawker, they deserve to die by a painful death.
It's not just logo animation, by the way, watch gameplay videos in slow-mo too, PagodaWest guys did a very good job at animating.
Pretty sure that current Sonic Team won't be able to make classic Sonic game ever, they can't even make the same classic physics anymore. It's good that SEGA hired Taxman, Stealth and PagodaWest, they're the most competent people right now who still care about Sonic.
I just hope the game will be long enough, maybe longer than S3&K, Taxman confirmed that it will be longer than Generations at least.

There's way too many to list. You just have to jump in and explore.
Justin Young
That exists?
Benjamin Baker
yes
Anthony Rivera
I kind of don't want to see it, but a part of me is morbidly curious…
Aiden Perry
I might or might not have it on my old laptop. Let me check it here in a minute and see if I have it. If I remember correctly Suzy is playing some shit on the 3DS while Arin is eating her out.
Jeremiah Price
5.4
Holy shit dude i'm fucking dying
William Lewis
Remember, anons. Can't spell "Ignorance" without IGN.
Brayden Gutierrez
Couldn't find it on my old laptop, but surprisingly all it took was a quick google search.
Joshua Cook
ew
Thomas Davis
what about arin or suzy makes you think they're grateful dead fans or that they'd have shitty patterns on their walls instead of arin's garbage cartoons
Christopher Myers
Poor argument on the grounds of general accepted platforming logic. ALL platforming games are a series of trial and error and memorization trials. How many have you consumed in your life? Tens? Hundreds? Congrats, then. That makes elements of platforming to you intuitive and thus gives you an edge over the people who haven't played a day in their life.
None of what you described is a strike against Sonic as a game or concerning its game mechanics. Instead, you've just outlined you have either working knowledge on wanting to build a speed-leaning course, or are just regurgitating bullet points from that one youtube faggot that harped on endlessly at how shitty Marble Zone was in Sonic 1. either case, it does little to prove Sonic's game mechanics are shit.
Asher Fisher
all games are trial and error*
Liam Barnes
how the fuck did this even get out? that implies that this image was, at one point, deliberately uploaded to a computer, then to a publicly accessible medium on the internet. that's the exact opposite thing you would do with a sex pic, unless your last name is kardashian
Leo Sullivan
Valid. All video games, in practice, are a series of complicated rules and reflex tests that give a clear win criteria.
At least until the advent of fucking moba and p2win shit, whose purpose is solely to farm whales.
Adrian Russell
that's another good point also this picture is being taken by a third person so we DEFINITELY know it's not arin and suzy, since in that situation he'd be the one with the camera in one hand and his dick in the other
Brayden Phillips
Jon?
Adrian Perez
It's probably timed.
OR MAYBE JONTRON IS THE BULL.
Owen Hill
Apparently Suzy was into some artzy modeling thing. Also take into account the picture was made before the Game Grumps.
Michael Reyes
you're right. I just did a quick search and the image is definitely fake. I thought it was strange that her tits were that big.
honestly, i don't know why anyone would want nudes of that butterface anyway.
Benjamin Nelson
it could be that he uploaded it but that still doesn't explain the grateful dead shit, or the art that is neither arin nor suzy's also, there's a fucking billion white dudes with shoulder length brown hair also, arin has a blond streak this is just some faggot eating uninterested pussy that you fags have been fapping to for years
Colton Gutierrez
For a fetal alcohol syndrome victim, she has a surprisingly nice body.
I'd still put a paper bag over that shit though
Tyler Powell
He's only had it for a few years.
Landon Gonzalez
also, apparently she has a tattoo on her left arm, which isn't in that image.
Zachary Reed
she's flat as hell, that ain't her my man
Benjamin Howard
This has already been said but
SUMO, WHERES MY SONIC AND ALL STARS RACING 3?! ARE YOU WAITING FOR NINTENDO TO MAKE ANOTHER MARIO KART?!
Colton Garcia
What if Aarin keeps a collection of fetal alcohol sex clones inside his basement for casual sex.
this is one of his many clones
Maybe it didn't sell well,
Justin Bell
I made it this far down thinking this was a webm thread.
Wyatt Allen
Same thing has happened to me, actually.
Dominic Brooks
now that kotaku and gawker are dead, can we kill polygon and IGN?
Blake Wood
soon
Levi Perry
...
Elijah Ramirez
I don't know, 1.36 million copies worldwide seems to be pretty good (Unless they pulled a Square-Enix and blew a lot of marketing money on fucking Ralph and Danica Patrick)
I really hope they're not waiting for Nintendo to make another Mario Kart just so they can take notes from it (Even though they say they had the idea of transforming vehicles first before Mario Kart 7 was announced)
Luke Sullivan
Mario did aged better though. I'm not hating on Sonic, but you need to compare the games from both franchises.
David Sanders
Gawker has been fucked by the lawsuit, but won't that just mean that Denton will sell it off to someone else and the cycle will start over?
More over, there is still demand for shitty clickbait. All their writers and staff will just find work elsewhere, or another company will pop up to take the retard SJW audience they left behind.
I dunno. I'm really cynical. It's fun watching these fuckers squirm but it's not over, not by a long shot.
Andrew Rivera
All the classic Sonic games from 1 to 3&K have aged just as well.
Matthew Nelson
Well holy shit.
Leo Flores
Sonic Spinball>Sonic Battle>>>>>>Mario
Cooper Brooks
Would plow his boipucci
Thomas Turner
Then again…how many more characters could they add that people would like to have or would buy the game?
All I can think of
Theres probably some other SEGA characters I'm missing (Can't think of anyone they'd add for Sonic characters that won't be met with groans)
Samuel Brown
I forgot to mention
Camden Nelson
i don't think you understand how many copies miku alone would sell now toss in a vocaloid stage with tons of background music instant autism bux
Hunter Perry
You forgot the most obvious and better answer fag.
Thomas Hughes
I'm so sorry Segata, that escaped my mind
Landon Johnson
what can you expect from an animatior this fucking jaded, who got told to stop pipe dreaming and live the easy life
Asher Young
They could go for characters from "obscure" IPs, like Dark Falz "Apprentice" (modern) or Lisa from PSO2, or one of the Temjin 747 models from Virtual On Force (though if they go the "transformed route, a Cypher / Myzr would be the better choice).
Or SUMO Digital can give us a character that nobody asked for, like Dr. Zan from Streets of Rage 3.
Jaxon Torres
You failed.
Zachary Young
Oh believe me, there'll likely be a few of those if Bonanza Bros and Reala are anything to go by
Aaron Wood
I made a faggy thread about Stranger Things there and it took 6 hours to get a reply. The thread never hit page 5 and I spent my time arguing with an user who was saying it was SJW propaganda to play devil's advocate.
Blake Torres
Reala makes my dick so fucking hard for some reason.
Jason Barnes
Dr. Zan is cool though, he's an old man turned cyborg that can electrify people to death and roll out explosives, even if he's just a DBZ ripoff.
Brody Roberts
Denton's still trying to find a buyer. I imagine his publicized attempts to weasel out of his legal punishment (up to and including perjury which got his ass slammed even harder after the court found out) aren't doing him any favors.
Hunter Martinez
If you could go back in time to be the beginning of Sanic autism, which OC Donut Steel would you post on the Interwebz?
(chekt) If this is not a shoop, that guy is my nigga.
Call me a casual faggot, but I always wished The screens were a little larger. I feel like the faster gameplay should have been complemented by being able to see a little farther and thus being able to better maintain momentum. As a kid, it felt like I was always getting slammed by shit that was just off screen. Most of my experience with Sonic is from the Mega Collection for Gamecube.
Tyler Cook
...
Christian Lopez
The game sold over two million units, tbh.
Blaze from SoR was supposed to be in, but at that point in time they already had way too many "humanoid" looking characters. Also, Alice and Alys from Phantasy Star games.
Zachary Green
...
Samuel Hughes
That's not Suzy and Arin you retarded fucks. Suzy is an ugly bitch who's flatter than an ironing board, this chick's actually got decent tits. I don't doubt she makes him eat her disgusting stinky pussy everyday though, he's a beta faggot alright.
Landon Howard
Can I get a link to the original video OP posted? I want to be a fag and read the comments.
Isaac Reed
Short is kind of subjective. Sonic goes fast so a rather large level seems short when you're speeding through it.
Elijah Rivera
...
Alexander Murphy
...
Jack Hughes
Just by viewing it you're still contributing to it, just not directly. Youtube counts every view, comment and video vote in for its popularity rating. Popular videos show up higher in search and more frequently displayed in "suggested", netting them shit ton more viewers still. And then they'll get their adbux.
Xavier Perez
every time
Caleb Roberts
...
Kevin Phillips
Actually, he cant sell gawker because he has to hand the assets over to the hulk. This is pretty recent news, denton is fucked.
Gabriel Wilson
Fuck off IGN apologist.
Carter Wilson
...
Juan Peterson
it's some good major progress but you're right, they 'ont just disappear they will disperse
Angel Clark
i haven't touched a sonic game since sonic & knuckles i just hate ign.
Nathaniel Jones
What's up with the weird res? Was the original also 320x180?
Lucas Campbell
I hate sonic too. That guy is just to fucking ugly.
Jaxon Campbell
...
Josiah Jackson
"Now why can't he be like that nice boy mario?"
Jeremiah Foster
They gave double dragon neon a 3/10 because the reviewer doesn't like beat em ups. That is how retarded IGN is. The only one who doesn't know what genres are is IGN
Hunter King
Because Sonic 2 is one of the first games i've ever played, but i'm not autistic enough to buy the shitty games like 06 or ow the edgehog.
For one, they need to actually bug test the game, or at least play it to see if the fucking physics are correct. The Japs at SEGA never seem to give sonic team enough time to make a fucking game, and the end result is shit like Sonic adventure, ow the edgehog and nusonic the nuhog where the whole game is nothing but furry drama paired with buggy as fuck stages that seem to punish speed because can just clip through just about anything and everything, or Sonic 4 (and Freedom Planet for that matter) where momentum is just fucked and you can walk up incredibly steep hills no problem.
Also, unlike mario, most of the sonic spin offs that aren't all stars racing/transformed are just trash, like the one they made for the fucking kinect.
Owen Campbell
game journos have been saying "sonic was never good" for a long time now. This isn't a nu male trend although a lot of the nu males do hold this position.
Mason Hughes
HE IS SLOWLY TURNING INTO ASHLEY BURCH
Jayden Garcia
The reason sonic games are well known is because most of them had a lot of care put into them. It was fucking great.
Owen Harris
Do people around here even fucking know how to use proper grammar and punctuation anymore?
Luis Rodriguez
You know, these are the people who review our games, & I know how after gamergate we've all come to realize how PAINFULLY the entire industry needs people who know what the fuck they're talking about to do their damn jobs, but I'm taken aback by how much these people piss me off on a daily basis.
Talking about it is pointless now, but god damn, just….wow…if these people can get jobs then anyone can
Luke Ramirez
There are a lot of jobs that seemed difficult as kids. When I was a child, I thought game journalism actually required a journalism degree. Then when you grow up, you realize that the bar has been set so low that anyone could do it.
Anyone could become a game journalist because there is no journalism involved.
Anyone can become an author because people will publish ANYTHING nowadays.
Anyone can become an artist because a blank canvas is a deep, meaningful expression of how empty a capitalist society makes one feel.
Anyone can design a video game because there are shitty engines that do all the work for you or you can just go the Depression Quest route and be counted as a "video game".
Asher Hall
I still can't understand how people didn't realize game reviewers were full of shit beforehand. Hell i knew the very moment i opened up a fucking magazine of fucking one of those useless rags and saw a review of "The Thousand Year Bore"
Andrew Rivera
I used to buy a gaming magizine that was pretty good. From their reviews I got a nice picture of what the game was like and they had a nice sense of humor. No political correct garbage and they often called out shit companies like EA. Of course that changed over the years and im pretty sure they are pozzed right now
Levi Gonzalez
/ogc/ here I think it went that Danica (and by extensions) Hot Wheels paid to have her put in and that also helped get it published. While the upside is it got us the game, it also means Transformed was so close to not being published. I hope they do another one though.
I honestly like the goofy and obscure characters like Bonanza Bros and AGES
Evan Murphy
I'd take a full blown Ayy over Suzy. Particularly if it won't kill me.
Jaxon Hill
I understand thinking the games outside the original trilogy are bad (No, I don't count CD as being part of the original 3). But denying those in particular are very good and well made games is fucking ridiculous.
Aiden Johnson
Sonic CD did that actually, the screen shifted focus further ahead when Sonic reached his top running speed or charged either the peel-out or spindash move like in pic related. The re-release also has this effect though it's less drastic because it's already widescreen, but only if you choose the original Spindash in the settings for some reason.
Tyler Evans
that's why sonic is shit and has always been
Levi Rivera
Fuck you assholes, made me laugh so hard [/spoiler]I cried because it wouldn't stop.[/spoiler]
Fucked up how the hipsters got that show.
Did she dump him?
I thought Kotaku got sold off to IGNs owner.
Can't be, he's fare cuter than a Burch.
Nice to hear that Hot Wheels still makes bank.
Camden Johnson
I'm so fucking tired of this "Sonic used to be good" meme. After having played a lot of different sonic games recently I can without a doubt say that the only remotely fun or somewhat good Sonic game is Sonic 2. The games have never been good except for that, and only existed to pander to try-hard edgelords in the making. Sonic has offered NOTHING of value to the gaming industry except for giving SEGA half of the chemotherapy that cancer of a company desperately needs and we'd be better off declaring the franchise dead at this point than painfully revive him every couple of years only to put him down when the games prove themselves to be shit time after time.
If you disagree you can go back to the 90's and end yourself.
Aaron Reed
You obnoxiously and without any argument shat on Sonic 3 & Knuckles among many other at least decent games while predictably sucking off muh Sonic 2.
Your shit opinion is invalid.
Hudson Harris
Don't go full retard. Sonic is far from the best, but it's not a bad franchise.
Gabriel Watson
He'd get banned for posting that shit on /monster/ you retard. >>>/chaos/ is where he needs to go
Jaxson Morris
Cool shit, my main in All Stars Racing transformed.
Asher Russell
Is their a tier list for 2D sonic games?
Robert Smith
Here's a tier list
God Tier: Sonic 3 with Knuckles Sonic 2
Good Tier: Sonic CD
Okay Tier: Sonic 1
DIMPS Tier: Sonic Advance 1, 2, & 3 Sonic Rush & Rush Adventure
Shit Tier: Sonic 4
Bentley Miller
...
Daniel Turner
advance 2 was kinda shit for that reason, try 1 or better yet 3.
Jose Peterson
Where does half of generations fit in?
Dylan Wilson
Chris is a selfish shit-head who tried to hurt and exploit people to get what he wanted (Megan, Snyder), and did some shady shit too (scam stores through refunds). He deserved most of the horrible things that happened to him (not the shit weens like Marvin did recently, nor did he deserve horrible people like Anna McLarren).
Michael Taylor
it's like you hate good games.
Landon Campbell
...
Caleb Cox
what excellent taste
Oliver Clark
Can we stop this fucking meme already? Videogames ARE art. Much like the stupid and shittily deformed drawing of your house and family made by your younger brother is art. Much like singing badly is art. Much like anything that can be considered human expression is art. The bar is set very low. And that's a GOOD thing. Art just means a product of human expression. Nothing more. When somebody says "this is art", every fucking retard interprets it as "wow this is deep, etc", when they should interpret it as "this expresses something" and nothing more than that. Saying "this is art" is almost meaningless. People should STOP getting triggered when someone says "this is art". It doesn't make the person pretentious, because "art" doesn't mean much.
What you SHOULD be wary of instead is people that call things "high art", which IS the concept you're thinking of.
Oliver Brown
nobody has given a shit about IGN for like seven years, how does this warrant a thread
Gabriel Nguyen
I still have no fucking idea what the abbreviation IGN stands for.
Levi Walker
Impotent Grandpa Niggers
Jackson Rodriguez
I ended up really really enjoying Stranger Things, and as such I'm avoiding any and all 'Top ten reasons stranger things is…'
Grayson Bennett
Don't do this. Literally the whole reason Tumblr started calling it goofy goobers and shit is because the word gamergate triggers them.
Mason Rivera
Except God Hand is one of the greatest games of all time, some of the most fun I've ever had with vidya - the guy that reviewed the game was the only one in the office that disliked it, and IGN even went back on their initial review and included it in their list of 100 games to play before you die or some shit.
And Party Babyz is shovelware.
They gave shovelware a 7.5.
Jack Sullivan
I think they had an open relationship at one point, but AFAIK they're fine now - or as fine as an extraterrestrial relationship can be.
Daniel Jones
The problem with saying what you're saying is that it places emphasis on intention to the point of making actual creative ability unnecessary.
Lucas Wright
The reviewer also got btfo by his own colleague and called everyone that disagrees with his review a fucking idiot. Video game journalism.
