sonic is gay

Is the sonic character design inherently autistic or not?

cant argue with that

If you can't run with your arms behind you, you can't run fast.

user, in the 90's that was not even a thing. EVERYONE loved Sonic in the 90's. (Unless you were a Nintendo fanboy)

The Sonic is for people with autism thing only is said on Sup Forums and from anyone who hears the ridiculous meme.

I thought the reason he holds his arms back since Sonic Adventure was because it was implying he was moving so fast he couldn't keep his arms infront of him due to the velocity.

>ANNIVERSARY game only comes out next year
>tfw this year all we have is another Sonic Boom game
SEGA is fucking incompetent and I am done with this game series

Cream is a good girl

I think he holds them back before that, when you go super sonic in the classic games.

overall bad game serie

>I want 3 games per year

Isn't that a bit unreasonable?

I thought he only did that because he was anime hovering

yeah let's just rush the anniversary game out the door

what could possibly go wrong?

Sonic Generations is probably my favorite of the newer gen games.

Tell me a game series, that has lasted almost just as long, that you've actually played nearly as many games of the entire series that can compete?

I liked the levels in Sonic 06. Overall pretty diverse and would have been good in a game that didn't glitch the fuck out everytime you played.

Dragon quest is so much higher you can't even put them in the same picture

It's a favorite to a lot of people due to the fact that people were pretty iffy about Sonic Lost World and the other game was Boom.

I actually prefer Sonic Unleashed.

And because the animation would look retarded if we was swinging his arms

>i watch youtube and i know all about sonic
k

Those tweets yesterday were the shit.
Also posting best girl.

>Dragon Quest

You mean that JRPG series barely anyone gives a shit about because they refuse to change their boring ways?

Recommend me a Dragon Quest game that isn't 8 that doesn't suck that was made in the past decade.

they have been developing the anniversary game for 5 years now (Lost World was done by another team) so it wouldn't be rushed :^)

I don't frequent Sup Forums

it's just pretty universal at this point

>tfw only heard bad things about it
>look up some gameplay in the day stages
>rooftop run
>empire city
>it looks awesome
Fucking IGN

Sonic swings his arms in the older games before going full sprint.

9 and Heroes

Before going full sprint.
At a certain point it stops looking that great.

People bitch about the werehog stages, which don't bother me at all.

Some claim it takes too long when really it's just them sucking at the game half the time and refuse to upgrade Werehog's stats to make him more damaging to enemies.

Other times they hate actually platforming, which is hilarious if you think about it, but people also say it'd be better if Knuckles would be in the game....which just means they wish it wasn't a werehog and the God of War-like battle system isn't the problem they just want their fan favorite in it instead.

Lets get to the bottom of this meme

I'm mostly on other sites and boards

don't pretend that everything is so black and white

Post more for the love of Christ

>sonic unleashed
>it's too fast
>sonic lost world
>it's too slow
And that's how I developed my deep hatred for game critics

>Always seeing Adventure on bottom tier lists

I keep forgetting most of you probably didn't play it back in 1999. Back then it was absolutely amazing and it did age badly so I can't really blame people for not appreciating what Sonic Team was trying to do back then.

mario
kirby
castlevania
mega man
donkey kong
dragon quest
final fantasy
Ys

all of these crush this shit sonic is to oblivion, even the best sonic game that is 3 is not that good. sonic fags are pathetic

>next big Sonic game comes out in 2017

Well, I guess we should be thankful Sega isn't rushing this one out to meet an anniversary deadline.

Sometimes I think people are just too unfairly critical of Sonic in general.

Jim Sterling keeps hating on Sonic games, but likes Sonic Lost World (You know, the one people mostly don't like?)

Let that sink in for a moment.

I loved the feeling of Sonic Unleashed daytime Sonic because I felt like I actually had to learn and control that kind of speed. And then the nighttime stages slows things down and let's you actually battle and platform.

Hopefully we get something that might pass the time
I hear we're getting a 25th Anniversary compilation
And Also Ice and Fire
Looks like I'll be playing those

Why is this bat so hot? I still don't get it, I'm not even really big on furries.

Unleashed PC port when?

Her clothes.

Welcome to the club

Lets get this out of the way right now

Blue arms or flesh tone?

I've gotten used to the blarms but Boom Sonic is still kinda lanky.

SONIC
DOES NOT HAVE
BLUE ARRRRMMSSSS!!!!!!!!

Blue arms looks like a coloring error and kinda ruins the nice balance Sonic's coloring had anyway.

>Top tier
>Sonic
you cannot be serious

So what would Rouge look like in Sonic Boom given the odd arm coloring?

The part of Boom Sonic's design that bugs me is those tiny extra spines on his head.

Anyone who likes blue arms is a heathen.

Sonic 3&K > Dragon Quest

Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 > Dragon Quest
Sonic Unleashed > Dragon Quest
Sonic Generations > Dragon Quest

Dragon Quest a shit, SHIT

is the CWCki working for anyone else?

>Mario

Mario doesn't even sell anymore. At one point Sonic Lost World was the Wii U's highest selling game. Think about that for a moment.

>Kirby

No one talks about Kirby, and the last two sucked. (Hoping the new one doesn't, I love Kirby)

>Castlevania

HAHAHA, are you serious? Castlevania is just as rocky as Sonic! Do I really need to bring up Lords of Shadow 2? That's the most recent one I can think of, not even the earlier games were that good besides Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow and MAYBE the first Lords of Shadow.Christ dude...were you even trying?

>Mega Man

Battle Network sucks, X7, their own anniversary game. And the main line has only had 10 games.

>Donkey Kong

There's only been 2 games in the past decade, one involved fucking drums. Tropical Freeze was good.

>Dragon Quest

It's all the same fucking grinding bullshit. 8 was the only one that has stood out besides the spin offs.

>Final Fantasy

I said in the past decade user, there hasn't been a good Final Fantasy in the past 10 years.

>Y's

Never played it.

>sonic fags are pathetic

No

the fuck are you going on about

Guys did you know that Mario is faster than Sonic because Mario can buildup so much speed he can quarter step through simulated parallel universes (meaning that for every quarter of a step, he travels to a different simulated parallel universe)?

youtube.com/watch?v=kpk2tdsPh0A

Sonic > Mario
Sonic > Kirby
Sonic > Final Fantasy
Sonic > whatever other franchises you mentioned

It was shit at the time. I still have a dreamcast
Stuff like incoming, echo and crazy taxi were the radical shit

>Kirby
One of the only good things that came out of Nintendo, other than Earthbound/Mother series, Animal Crossing, and maybe a few other titles.

Mario sucks donkey balls objectively speaking. In fact, Mario sucks so much Kirby is like a better version of him who can copy the abilities of his enemies.

N-NANI?!

i didn't mention any though

you clearly have the wrong user here

Oh, my mistake
It's sfill true though

>Shit at the time

>Was highly praised by game reviewers and fans alike in 1999

You best be joking dude.

>Crazy Taxi

That needs a new game, and I don't mean the f2p game that's out.

yeah but i think you failed to account that sonic could easily build up speed if he wanted also

so like, if sonic build up speed combined with how fast he could go to begin with the he wouldn't just be traveling parallel universes,

he'd be travelling perpendicular multiverses

Thanks Sonic, you're cool too!

But that's just a theory.

In the video I posted, Mario actually does it IN THE GAME!

youtu.be/beNfj2tlQ1o

eh, not really

Sonic was a great franchise at its high point but it's been mostly shit after that

worth noting the green text about sonic and top tier was referring to the first game btw

Sonic 3K > Sonic CD > Sonic 2 > Sonic 1 > Cuckles Chaotix

no new game until next year, this whole year is a waste:
soahcity.com/2016/06/25/iizuka-announces-new-sonic-project-for-2017/

i can agree with that

General consensus on Sonic X? Both dubbed and subbed?

subbed was way better, I hated the dub with a passion and their ridiculous censoring.

Subbed.

Dub cuts out tons of content.

god damn it's such a fucking shame Sonic 06 ended up sucking ass. If the devs weren't focusing on putting in useless shit like multiplayer or missions about walking a fucking dog, this game could've kicked ass.

General consensus on SATAM

Good, cancelled too soon.

Underground had the better theme

the dub actors really sucked until around Sonic Unleashed

dub was gross 4kids shit, sub was good. overall pretty meh anime

>Mario doesn't sell
What? Mario Maker sold 3 million copies. NSMB sold 5 million. Even 3D World beats Lost World in sales.

>Battle Network sucks
The only bad BN games that everyone can agree were bad were 4 and 5. And the Battle Chip system was unique and allowed for creativity. Starforce 1 and 3 were also good. X7 may have been bad, but X8 was a massive improvement and a fun game in its own right with the best armor system and replayability. Then there's the Legends games, the Zero games, and the ZX games which were all great games. Most Megaman series only have 2 bad games. X has X6 and X7. BN has BN4 and BN5. Zero has Z2.

>Kirby
Triple Deluxe had a good critic and user score on Metacritic, which is a rare sight these days. Only IGN gave it a mediocre score for the sake of having a different opinion and seeking attention. I even 100% the game and enjoyed it. The next one is 3D with more features and a better plot.

>Donkey Kong
There's only 1 bad DK game (the DS one) and one arguably mediocre one (DK Returns.) The fact that Freeze was good only proves that DK is a series associated with quality as most games are good.

>DQ
You can't be serious. Asides from the NES trilogy, the series isn't even hard enough to warrant lots of grinding.

>Final Fantasy
XII IZJS was a great game.

youtube.com/watch?v=R7QLRCIFQdw
>Hyper sonic could have been introduced

Never dub before you sub

>tfw we could've gotten knuckles
that theme you posted is pretty great btw

>Underground had the better theme

It was also full of quality.

>What? Mario Maker sold 3 million copies. NSMB sold 5 million. Even 3D World beats Lost World in sales

But what actually sold, the games or the systems? Each of the mario games you mentioned was tied in with a console bundle. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I have yet to be convinced Mario actually sells games without it being a bundle set.

>Battle Network

Agree to disagree, I simply don't like the later Mega Man series.

>Kirby
>Needing a plot

Lol what?

>Donkey Kong

Stop it, DK has barely games out in comparison to any other series you have mentioned.

>DQ
>You can't be serious

I'm dead serious, it's a game series that is too scared to stop the grinding bullshit.

>Final Fantasy
>XII IZJS was a great game.

I hated FF12, so I didn't care to play a game based on the same world as FF12

Someone jerked off to this

I played had a blast of a time, but i replayed it last year and shit man, i don't know who thought this was well designed, same goes for SA2

Standards were different back then.

I love SA1, I love the hub worlds and going through different character story modes. I understand the game hasn't aged well but if I looked back at all past games and compared them to now I'd say all video games are terrible.

All video games lose their appeal over time. Very rarely do games stand up against the test of time.

The dub is god awful, but even subbed it's a slog to watch. Chris is the main problem. He wouldn't be so bad if he were a side character but it quickly becomes apparent that isn't the case, and he's actually the main character rather than Sonic. Pretty much everything revolves around him and you barely get to see Sonic do all that much.

Season 3 is especially infuriating because you start out thinking "Oh shit we're getting a Sonic show with only Sonic characters since they're back on their home planet!" and then Chris shows up and it all goes downhill from there. Then the worst girl Cosmo shows up and it gets even worse.

It has its moments, like the SA2 adaptation, but overall Sonic X is very mediocre and very forgettable.

People unironically enjoy that show. Even autism can't explain that.

I Hope it was not you

Sonic fits surprisingly well with english voices, not even anglo. The X dub was horrible for reasons besides the VA and I usually pick english voices in the games.

Never said the show itself was good.
But you have to admit the Underground's theme is fucking great
youtu.be/S5ki8swC6xo

fuck you man Heroes was the shit

No, sorry, is not a bad game because it is dated and standards were different. It has the stupid problem of being fun but still TERRIBLY designed, making you play through different gameplay styles and most of the time the same stages over and over just to get to the end

Happens in Unleashed, SA1, SA2, Heroes, Shadow and many more

I can't consider them good games when i'm only enjoying what could be less than 40% of each. The only ones that are objectively good put together games are the 2D Main titles, Generations and MAYBE Colors

Calm the fuck down, we're not getting a new game until 2017 and we're not even getting any info until next month.

i'd bump Rush 1 up to Top and move Generations down

It was because they wouldn't have to animate his arms
The same with most animes and the old Hanna Barbera cartoons (most character held their hands in front of them when running)

I kinda agree, the game itself was fine, the whole team gimmick was pretty pointless. My main complaints are the wacky camera, the main characters look plastic, since they don't really have textures for whatever reason, and the fact that it was basically forcing you to replay it with minor variations 4 times. Atleast one of them was more mission based but still
