General Sonic is Terrible Thread

Sorry, I forgot where I was going but the
conversation seemed interesting.

Yeah this is an interesting thing to talk about.

I actually agree 100% with your idea. I always saw Sonic as a guy who should focus on speed and having seperate stages for each character could make for some sick gameplay. The issue here is with Sonic's stages specifically. All his stages so far have either been really slow and glitchy or hallways that as long as you hold forward on the control stick you win which gets boring and repetetive. You dont have a reason to explore except for red rings nor do you have the space in recent titles. Inserting platforming and puzzle elements would be nice and we got that in Lost World but they over did it. They removed sonics speed and added too much platforming when it should have been a balance between the two.

Iceman implied that the 2D parts werent all that great, which is correct, but has great potential and I personally enjoyed some of it not because of nostagia but because of some other elements like the jump selector and speedy sections and some minor puzzles in Unleashed. They could have made 2D sections akin or even identical to the classics, since its nostalgia they seem to be aiming for, and that would have been great.

I liked Sonic Adventure but I felt like the level designs could have been/worked better.
