You can tell that the developers truly cared for the game they worked on to the point they crammed the day stages...

The "Everything Sonic is shit" meme is finally starting to die off. It only took 11 fucking years. Thank you Mania.

There's your key word.
We're still a long way off from that actually happening.

...

Do I post it?

This. I loved the worlds when I was traveling in the game. One of the few legit criticism I have for this is that the game railroads you into going to certain countries by order. Imagine if instead of that, you choose which country you could go to depending on how far Tails's plane can go or if you have the map for the route to that country. Or you talk to an NPC that's visiting a country and catch a ride with him to his home country. Also that second to last Chinese girl was hella cute.

Want Sanic 2006 while you're at it?
unleashed is one of the worst ps3 games and possible the worst sanic game.
You dont want it.

...

Do it faggot.

...

You're right. I don't want it.

Don't bother with it. The PS2/Wii version is trash. No comfy hubs, no sprawling level design, no fun.

I wish Sega would of made these a regular thing. They're really good at making Sonic cartoons.

I've seen this meme spread to lots of things recently. I wanna know who started this and what they gained from it.

>>>/out/

Psssshht. Sonic unleash is dumb.
I don't still need it….

Most Sonic-related things are shit though. Notable exceptions are the classic Genesis games, the Sonic OVA, Chao Garden, Sonic Advance 1 and 2, Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, Sonic Generations, and the post-reboot Archie Comics.

Dumb werehog stages, non-sonic muuuuusic, fastessssstttt sonic game yet, gorgeous cutscenes, wonderful blend of gameplay and graphics that would be right at home in PC, cozzzzyyyyy hub worlldddddddddd, fucking foods and combinationssssss

Nnnnnnnnnnn, I don't need it, I don't need it….I don't need it. I DON'T NEED IT….
I. DON'T. NEED. IT

Game Grumps only plays sonic to shit on it though.

Werehog is still the most retarded idea involved with Sonic.

'Sup Arin.

Most criticisms of Sonic games are blown way the fuck out of proportion. Sonic '06, Chronicles and Boom are the only objectively awful games. The rest is varying degrees of mediocre to good depending on your taste.

This. For example, all Sonic R needs to be a fantastic game is a fix to the controls, just have it handle like any other 3D modern Sonic game.

Pleb taste. I bet you unironically think that you "gotta go fast," rather than understanding the key is that you are allowed to go fast, if you can earn it.

you're an idiot dawg

I wish we get some more world building like Unleashed had in Forces or future games. I'm still bothered that all these places only have humans, yet almost none of them seem bothered by Sonic and his buddies. I don't know why they can't just throw in some generic furry NPC's to make it less weird. It would be like early Dragon Ball.

WAIT, WHERE THE FUCK IS EGGMANLAND PLACED IN THE MAP!?
If it's placed in the same area as Israel I'm going to flip my fucking lid
SEGA KNOWS.

Unleashed is getting a port actually.

They're also finishing the Night stages, thanks sony

autism

The game's biggest crime was giving the night stages fantastic music that you never heard over the looping combat music.

Eggmanland is our greatest ally.

That made me upset, because the fighting music should have been used less frequently, only with huge hordes of small enemies instead of just a few, how it turned off and on bugged me to no end.

Oops, fix'd. Now with the proud colors of Dr. (((Robotnik)))

Where were you 10 years ago (dear god, this game is almost 10 years old)
People didn't give a shit about chip. Before the game came out, people were expecting it to be mostly werehog stages + a few mandatory stages for every staple supporting cast member, and then (if we were lucky) a few stages where you play as actual sonic.
When it turned out to be nothing but sonic stages and werehog stages, and the only constant sidekick was that little tutorial guy it was like a breath of fresh air.
Granted, people still weren't sold on the werehog idea, and after secret rings and sonic 06 no one was interested in taking sonic seriously, but it still wasn't considered a bad game.
Fans weren't mad at the game's quality, they were mad at sega for not giving them a normal god damn sonic game that they'd been asking for for ages.

I'd type up a storm, but you are right. We need a full boost sonic game instead of half and halfs.

It's up in the top right, you ding-dong.

That's fanmade though

...

...

Man, it's absolutely fucking INSANE how good this has aged. 10 years later and it STILL holds up, jesus motherfucking christ.

These anons are the real MVPs.

That's a pretty big deal breaker.

fixed it for you my dude

That was on purpose though, but thank you.

...

Yeah they tried moving away from the Boost mechanic and then everyone bitched that Sega isn't consistent with Sonic's gameplay when Lost World came out. Now if he tries to go back and improve on the one thing that's shown to work so far, critics will bitch that they don't experiment. I swear if they add some more Adventure mechanics like rolling physics, exploratory based physics while moving and the spin dash while making the boost optional plus the other things that made Boost successful, critics will bitch that they're stagnant while putting in some gimmicks.

No, it's not that they weren't consistent, it was that Lost World's style wasn't good either. The Run button is nearly the same as the boost button and the levels are largely made in the same style as the Boost games anyway. You have the cylindrical aspect but it doesn't really make a big difference.

Anyway, critics shit on Sonic no matter what. Video game (((critics))) are shit and you don't need to convince us of that. BRING BACK ADVENTURE'S SONIC GAMEPLAY. Fuck critics.

Sonic Adventure 2 had so much going for it. If people are bitching about the other gameplay styles, fine. I like them but Sonic's is the best, so we can lose the others. Just do a whole game of that type of Sonic gameplay, and have the same Mission/Rank system with lots of unlockables, spaced the same. Generations kinda tried to do this, but it was way too easy even to 100% so it didn't matter, and your 100% reward was just another copy of a 20 year old game everyone already owned. Adventure 2's Green Hill is one of the coolest unlockables in any game ever.

SA1 >>>>> SA2 in nearly every aspect except maybe for the Sonic/Shadow stage design.

fuck Holla Forums

#NintendoSwitchMasterRace amirite??? xDDD

God damn I needed a good chuckle. Thanks.

What else was I supposed to do? Post werehog porn?

I agree and I disagree.

Sonic gameplay at its best will never fill the content of a full console title. You need those mini missions, bonus levels, and extra characters to shake things up. and as long as the UI or map isn't horribly confusing and annoying.

I do think that every sonic game should have a way to play all the sonic stages back to back, though. Especially if they encourage you to try master the early levels so you can beat all the stages in 1 sitting.

How big is his knot? 😤

At least a foot across, very intimidating up close.

Please, my penis can only get so erect.

Is Sonic Team /ourgoys/?: archive.fo/bhPTZ

Jesus christ how lewd

who the hell is chip and was the ghost girl really not your companion in that game?

SA1 has Adventure Fields, which I personally like a lot (it's why I love Unleashed so much), but I can see why others don't. It also has a better story. That's about it. I personally enjoy the additional three characters to a degree, but I also don't miss them. Tails' gameplay could have been better, but all his stages being races really limited him to only really being great in the Adventure Fields. And yeah, Knuckles' emerald radar works better in the first one. I don't know why they gimped it in the second. But the level design still makes it better overall.

SA2 has far better level design for all three playstyles, and the missions, ranks, and unlockables give the game way, way more replayability and content.

Sadly no. Instead we got a tiny midget who sounded like a 30yo who barely even appears. Also, no Knuckles.

God damn Sega, when they fuck up they fuck up HARD.

...

It's okay, I forget that games exists too. kek

Triple Trouble was good, the rest felt more like Mario games than Sonic, though a few stages had some cool gimmicks.

I mentioned Boom.

The only bad Sonic game on Game Gear is Blast. And that still isn't '06 levels of bad. That's right. I just implied Labyrinth isn't bad.

Now you guys mention it- the ghost would make more sense. Though not in its current state.

- Chip is a form of Gaia, so have the ghost girl be the spirit of Gaia. A spirit of the earth.
- Because she's semi-corporeal, she likes food.
- Ties into a pseudo-halloween shit with the werehog. Maybe have night stages altered to be decorated with that countries' equivalent of Halloween and somehow link that to the dark-gaia enemies (when they're around, they make an aura that makes everything spooky).

Still, I'd rather they cut all the werehog shit.

Forces I think will be a train-wreck since they can't do a 3D Sonic again because its so fucking jank (unless it's BOOST BOOST BOOST which gets dull, or 2.5 D, and you might as well just make it retro sonic then).

Whoops, my mistake. My sonic autism died in the late 90s so my knowledge only really goes up to SA2/Sonic Advanced for the GBA.

How are Shuffle and Battle at all similar? Unless you're just listing two spinoffs that you don't like.

Also, Shuffle had a great idea of using the VMU to look at your cards, so the board sections actually had strategy instead of just dice rolls.

Also also, Battle becomes kinda playable if you grind at the beginning (there's one mission right at the start that makes it really easy to max your entire character) and then pretend it's not an RPG.

Fuck, that's what I get for trying to remember old sonic games. I'm talking about that one really shitty 3d fighting game in the arcade. The GBA fighting game really reminded me of a lot of that shit but in 2d form.

Well they're both fighting games kinda, but Sonic the Fighters is just an early 3D fighter that operates how you'd expect it to operate. It's pretty much a reskinned Fighters Megamix. Sonic Battle for GBA is this weird isometric four player team based fighting RPG.

True but I remember the GBA game having qtf commands that really reminded me of the 3d arcade game. It felt like they just took the concept of the arcade game and expanded it. I mean, they already had the assets from the Sonic advanced games so it would not be too crazy for them to make a spin off during that time.

I strongly disagree. Most people seem to consider Virtua Fighter and Smash Bros different types of games. This is far more different. This would be like Smash Bros mixed with heavy RPG elements but in isometric 3D.

Why sonic cartoons are so fucking good?

I don't know.

How the hell do you earn your speed in Boostpadventure?

can't believe there's people defending sonic unleashed of all things

Get good. Have more precise timing and aim for your jumps.

Fucking Predator Hedgehogs

Fuck you, Rush was great!

Rush was great, but the 2D sections in modern Sonic games suck.

Sonic Unleashed was better than Generations.
It had effort. It had ambition. It had a budget. It had a team of developers genuinely trying to make a great game instead of a cheap cash in on nostalgia.
If you don't like Unleashed, your taste is shit. Period.

Ghost girl needs more porn. Discuss.

But 3D sonic is shit.

People said this game was great upon release but people become retarded with Sonic. For example it's common for people to say unbelieveably stupid shit like "Sonic can't work in 3d because he's too fast" or "all 3d sonic games are bad." Sonic has always been a mixed bag

The day stages are exactly what a sonic game needed to be. Just go fast and collect rings and power-ups.
Of course developers don't understand what people want so this franchise will never be anything more than inspiration for deviant art horrors.

He just needs a good director is all

What sonic needs is some fucking consistancy. From Heroes onwards, Sonic has had no consistant style. Gameplay, aethetic, story, tone. All this shit is completely changed every game so you have thousands of autists running around who all have their own vision of what they want Sonic to be.
Seems they're currently doing what Nintendo used to do which is just nostalgiabait like all fuck. I have no idea why they brought back classic sonic and why all the modern stages are 2d in Forces when mania exists. Forces will be such a fucking trainwreck I guarantee

user, that's what director means. We are saying the same thing. He just needs someone who can DRIVE the series sky high and impress not only the normalfags, by the cynics in this board too.

The 3D Sonic games are still bad games, but they have a lot of heart and fun in them despite that. They're technically wonky but they're silly and fun enough to not give a shit.

But that's just not true. Adventure to '06 are all basically the same shit with gimmicks like teamwork and guns in a couple games, but the core is the same. Unleashed to Generations, and now Forces, are also all pretty much the same shit. Lost World is a little different gameplay wise, but only a little (less different than Unleashed is to all the games before it) but the same in all other regards.
