General Sonic is Terrible Thread

[Darky's Manifestation]

i agree mostly on what Jermungandr(snaps?) just said, only counts for the games i've played that are on his list.

you know, i used to be a sonic fan. heck i was a pretty big one as some of you may remember back in the day. personally now i just can't enjoy sonic anymore, in any way. not even the old ones. i just hate the fact the game play doesn't know itself what it wants. it wants you to go fast, but it also seems like it wants you to hit a wall and and fall into a pit or spikes. it's just so stupid, and it's not even a punish & learn experience, because you don't get informed there's going to be a pit of spikes up ahead. looking back now, it's just stupid.

then again, the adventure games still hold a soft spot in my heart, and always will. especially sonic adventure 2. i don't think there's just much wrong with that game, in fact just like Jermungandr stated; i actually enjoyed the glitches and the over the top story it had to offer. fuck it was so cheesy, but the good kind of cheesiness. shadow the self proclaimed ultimate life form that was a loner and hold a secret about a dear one he lost 50 years ago? fuck i'd take it, i was a kid at the time so fuck yeah shadow was cool. you could play as eggman? fuck i never played as bowser before beside in a racing cart so that's awesome. they blown up the moon? holy shit this game is so hard core i felt bad ass just playing it.

and at the end? sonic AND the childhood dark hero shadow transformed into fucking super saiyans to fight a giant fucking genetic lizard (that seemed to be stuck with his arse into some cannon) and then shadow died, noooo. good thing sega brought him back along with some terrible games.

i really don't remember much of sonic heroes, but like i stated before; i really enjoyed shadow the hedgehog. not only was i a huge shadow fanboy at the time that came out, but the game is just so ridiculous it's hilarious. and things that are hilarious bring fun, so therefor shadow the hedgehog is fun.

yes it's tedious as fuck, playing the first level over and over again at the start of every new play through for a new ending, and it's something i wouldn't want to nowadays, but hell it really wasn't as bad as people made it to be. in fact; i dare to say, shadow the hedgehog is just another generic sonic game. sure it has guns, but you can totally ignore that mechanic if you want to.

i don't remember what other sonic games i've played after that. secret rings is the last one i touched i believe. the first level was great, the auto run mechanic worked fluently, until you've beat the first level. everything that came after that they've fucked up. i also started to hate the main theme because it played every single god damn menu screen. can't wait to play it again on sonic' smash bros stage though. make believe reborn baby

jokes aside, i think people just like to jump on the sonic hate bandwagon actually. it mean yes they are bad, and some of them are really, really bad. no excuses. but most of them do have some fun in them, or really aren't that bad after all.

but i couldn't care less anymore. i don't feel like spending time with a game i might or might not like about some expired 90's mascot that i just don't care about anymore. i mean i'm not Dark Angel anymore~

TLDR; the chao garden mechanic is amazing bring it back make it it's own game i will buy it maybe
