Sonic The Hedgehog Games -

I've said it before and I am hardly the first person to make this point: Sonic doesn't have an identity as a game franchise and nobody seems to be able to agree on how Sonic should play and what he should be doing.

Gotta go fast!! Okay. Cool. Gonna need a little more than that.

Mania but again and with new things.

Chris Coffin one of the developers. Goes by Christina now for some reason

That lines up nicely with the trend of trans people being unable to finish the games they’re working on.

The only trans gamer that isn't a psychotic troon is Rebecca Heinman because she actually got shit done. She contributed code to over 200 video game titles for every video game platform.

I did not enjoy Sonic Mania.

 

[The Last Stand]

It's just sad that Sonic series nowadays can just achieve the basic minimum regardless of delays and people are still gonna praise it regardless most likely for the sake of "It's not 06!". This used to be a series that was popular for rivalling Mario as well as having different types of games for different types of audiences, and when we look at Sonic now it's just a set of mediocre soulless "playing it safe" games and mobile shit and "haha look at that Sonic Twitter account posting le funny epic maymay and praising some fanwork and/or fangame to prove how SEGA cares for us so we can consoom more unlike Nintendo!" that I'm sick of it.

I felt Sonic reached its peak with the original trilogy. After that, SEGA wasn't sure what to do with Sonic to maintain relevance and quality. Sega's Genesis was their best selling console yet; they capitalized on Sonic to make them a worthy opponent against Nintendo's kid-friendly image.

I feel Sonic the Hedgehog succeeded as a trend setter in personality.

I mean, it was a success. Sonic takes more hot loads and gets crushed by more giantess mpreg futas than anyone and his fandom loves it. It is as far from missionary Mario as you can get.

Mania but again and with new things.

I feel like Mania was a fun nostalgic game and I would play the sequel if they made it but I still want a good Modern Sonic but Sega is such a fuck up with them and the fanbase is too bipolar to make up their mind something that I have to might I'm guilty of as well.

Anyways on that note I found this 10 minute long video talking about how "Sonic will never change" where the dude bitches about how Sonic is only for kids, how the storylines are childish but at the sametime praising Mario for them being for all ages.

So what the fuck is it? Do you want Sonic to have a dark stories with interesting character development or almost no story cuz that's what Mario does after all. This happens all the time with people saying how goofy Sonic is when they tackle dark stories but also at the sametime bitch about how Modern Sonic stories are overly simplistic and childish.

Something funny to note about this guy is that he made a video talking about "why he loves the 'Meta Era' Of Sonic Games" which was made like a month ago where he brings up how he loves the gameplay of the newer Sonic games and his main problem in the "why Sonic will never change" video is the storyline which he echoes in this older video.

Just a hunch but maybe he doesn't want/believe Sonic Rangers will change up the Sonic gameplay cuz he likes the current gameplay or is fine with it cuz he has literally no expectations or desires for anything better which is most of the fanbase.

It's all weird cuz he made a video talking about the rumored Sonic Rift and how he was worried about it for it's short levels but at the sametime is hyped for Sonic Colors Ultimate and that he knows it will be a good game cuz the old one was.

This guy is the perfect example of how Sonic fans are bipolar to the point of him feeling like a parody. Anyways I want to wrap this up with a video he posted on April 25th of this year talking about how Sonic should stop changing.

The thing with autistic manchildren is that no reasonable person can decipher what they actually want. Mostly because they hate changes and they also hate it when they're favorite franchise is in a form of repetition that doesn't cater to them.

Simpsons did it

So some new footage of Sonic Colors Ultimate has dropped and it's a bit concerning to say the least.

But all jokes aside it does look pretty shit, no idea what they were thinking with a lot of these decisions such as how they fucked up the Cyan Laser Wisp for an example.

Note: left is old Colors and right is the Ultimate remake.

Now that's not it, there are some weird loading zones in the levels weren't present in the original game

Spoiler: Asteroid Coaster version comparison

Wii/original version:

Ultimate version:

Now the game doesn't come September 7th so hopefully they fix some of this shit but I'm not even sure if they even will.

Either way, if the game doesn't change at all which there is a strong chance it will then I feel bad for all those Sonic consumers that already pre-ordered the game already.

I hope they enjoy their gold gloves/shoes and baby Sonic icon at the very least.

Spoiler: bonus content

Here are some more tweets by Darío/dariosamo aka the guy who made the "Classic Sonic in Sonic 4 - Episode 2" mod and also the person where I got all of this shit from.

The first one was just showcasing Tropical Resort's weird ass fucked-up shading so it's not really needed to show the tweet itself but here it is if you're out of the loop

Only 3D Sonic game I'd be interested in is a full version of Sonic Utopia. I played that Demo over and over again, it was so goddamn fun. You can tell they did something right because fucking EVERYONE was playing that thing, even people who didn't give a fuck about autistic blue hedgehogs.

I will say I'm looking forward to Sonic Rangers though, because Sonic schadenfreude is among the best there is.

Okay so for 3D Classic Sonic fan games, there were some old ones that I remember looking kinda cool like "Classic Sonic 3D Adventure" that was justt Mario 3D World but Sonic, that game started off promising but ended up turning into mediocre garbage.

I don't know too many 3D Classic Sonic games outside of Sonic Robo Blast 2 of course, I think it's pretty good for what was originally a Doom mod.

An honorable mention would be Christian Whitehead's 3D Sonic game demo that I think recently surfaced, it's pretty bare-bones but I think it could have been something cool if he worked on it more.

Anyways as for Modern Sonic stuff I see a lot of semi-promising or good-looking 3D Sonic games out there like Green Hill Paradise, Sonic Infinity etc. But personally out of them I think Sonic Omens is the best but that's probably mostly because of its production value with it having an actual story n' stuff. Most (if not all) of the 3D Sonic game I've seen are just tech demos or get cancelled before they go any wheres.

everyone. today is june 18th. and today is the 20th anniversary of Sonic Adventure 2.

and this guy did a stream on youtube for it. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU304xOXOpwNo4-pmFqieWw

i had alot of good memories of sonic adventure 2 battle on the gamecube. it had, in my opinion, the best soundtrack in the whole series. almost all of them were memorable. and the stages for sonic and shadow were memorable too.

Live and Learn!

Sonic Adventure is a criminally overhated game

Level reuse. Fetch quests. Emerald hunting tedium.

I still prefer it to the later titles. Those take an almost perverse glee in stopping players in their tracks. Sonic really has gotten slower with time, e.g. the Gamma levels felt more energized than Tails/Eggman levels in 2.

Emerald hunting tedium.

In Adventure 1? I could beat those in a couple minutes no problem. By comparison, Pumpkin Hill in Adventure 2 took me 45 minutes my first try thanks to Sega's decision to nerf the Emerald radar. It's so tedious that I've taken to enabling a mod on the PC version that makes it track all three Emerald shards at once.

Level reuse. Fetch quests. Emerald hunting tedium.

none of wich is really that bad, the emerald hunting was really fun, felt like fast paced collect-a-thon action and the good radar made it able to beat in like a couple of minutes, there's only 2 "fetch quests" in the entire game, both of wich required carrying an object to a certain place, and were far in-between. otherwise the hubworlds felt full of life and charm. and even the repeated levels have twists to them, to fit the varying gameplay styles, with some characters even going to entirely new areas.

i really don't so how any of that is really a bad thing considering how SA1 executed it.
the only bad part about the game was Big.

 

[JamesFargo]

the emerald hunting was really fun

I didn't pre-order a Dreamcast to hunt for f*&king treasure, I'm sorry.

2 at least had enjoyable rap music. 1 didn't even have that. People really overdo it with the Sonic Team praise.

the only bad part about the game was Big.

He's a speed bump in the scheme of things. Pretty sure Arin was pretending to suck at it for dramatic effect; those stages take 3 min to beat. (Unless you go for the emblems.)

By main gripe is that he doesn't look like a cat at all.

compared to what other platformers did at the time, Treasure Hunting may be acceptable.
