Gaming I don’t get the love for Sonic games

[Weebhunter3000]

I’ve played all the 2D games and a few of the 3D ones. Obviously everyone agrees the 3D ones suck while the 2D ones are held in high regard. But besides the music and graphics, the gameplay of Sonic goes against its design philosophy. You’re encouraged to beat the level fast yet the game does everything it can to slow you down. This would be fine if you could see the hazards ahead of you, but Sonic games don’t allow you to zoom out, so you’re stuck with a zoomed in screen with no way to prepare for upcoming obstacles. So what’s the point of going fast until you’ve memorized the level? You’re forced to go slow and wait for hazards to pass before proceeding for your first play through at least.

Are you one of those boost to win niggas who got filtered by CD? CD is genuinely the most genius thinking Aryan man's retro game. The plot even revolves around destroying synagogues in the past to create a good future. You go fast but it's for a good reason instead of speeding through the game. You fully appreciate the sound music and theming of a level by walking around through it. You even improve every playthrough and enjoy it more and more. It just lacked good bosses and maybe more minigames.

I’ve beaten them all multiple times. For a series meant to revolve around speed I don’t find the level design to properly accommodate for it.

That’s an interesting way to look at it.

Just a widescreen port with regional ost option. Feels way better than the ps3 port of sonic 1 and 2 (MASSIVE input delay and no widescreen) and the former megadrive version of the other retro sonic games (bloated as shit 3d interface for 2 retro games, no one gives a shit about mega drive outside sonic)

Play Sonic Advance 2. It addresses all your problems and “fixes” them. I for one think replaying levels is a part of the charm.

Sonic fans are often black autists whose parents couldn't afford new consoles after SEGA stopped producing.

Mario better and solos that whole verse too

Sonic is for black soyboys while Mario is for the white ones.

Hah I had the Portugalguese dub of the Christmas special. My dad quotes "vais substituir-me, vais substituir-me" all the time in the European portuguese accent. I also had some SatAM DVDs

Mario is for the white ones.
