I will, just wait a sec.

Silver came out of it, and he's kinda cool.

He's the textbook definition of wasted potential, but cool.

It's got a good soundtrack

Underrated masterpiece. Literally only nigger-tier ledditors spout it's bad XD LE ARIN EPIC HANDSOM

It would've been good if they got to finish it and they reworked the story (mainly Elise).

right after I sang happy birthday to the shit in a jar I took exactly 10 years ago

play magazine gave it a good score, even though it was trash. it was a paid review, but i liked all of play magazines content up until the sonic 06 review issue. There's something good.

Everyone knew it was trash from day one. Game Grumps played it *because* it had a reputation as the worst Sonic game.

Uhh

At least all the levels are just get to the goal ring?

The OST is good and Silver's a cute. That's about it really. The rest of the game is irredeemable mega shit.

IT'S NO USE

ok man

The music is good so there's that.

That first trailer for it where it shows all the robots is pretty nostalgic for me now.

I honestly see a game that could have been great if it wasn't for sega's bullshit policies and rushing shit out before they were even in a decent playable stage. You can literally tell that they literally released what was pretty much a rough alpha build of the game slapped together, and interviews show it.

To the game's credit, if they ever went back and made a attempt to fix all of the major issues, I would consider it. As-is, Sega wants to bury it and forget it even existed.

It has a good soundtrack, and was the wake up call to Sonic Team, needed for them to step it up for future 3D entries.

multiplayer is fun

WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN

UP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUND

I honestly found some of the gameplay enjoyable.

Sanic's levels were mostly alright and I remember liking the Knuckles/Rogue stuff.
I also want to say I enjoyed E123's gameplay but it's been so long that when I try to remember it I just think about his Heroes gameplay.

Still, that was back when the game just came out and I was a retard that thought everything was good. If I replayed it now (which I don't, I'd rather not spoil the memory) I'm sure I'd hate it though.

My theory for Sonic 06 was that sega just completely underestimated the development time required for an HD game and was unwilling to delay the game (and miss the anniversary) or go overbudget with it (and have another shenmue) to get it into a finished state before shipping it.

This game was ultimately needed

Sonic Team lost focus after adventure 2. Heroes and shadow were pretty fucking bad and if it wasn't for the advance and rush games on the side no one would have stuck with sonic. 06 being a colossal fuckup allowed ST to refocus and get new blood. From the ashes of 06, Unleashed was birthed. Say what you want on the game but its undoubtedly a high quality game that scraps the baggage that was keeping sonic down, including a focus on overbearing and intertwining complicated stories, a huge cast of characters, and sonic being slow as fuck. And it only got better from there

Sanic fans have to be thankful for 06 as it allowed Sega to finally open their eyes and treat him better. Well until sanic boom at least...

IT'S NO USE

That, and people really wanted it out in 2006. Remember, this game was intended for a 2007 release.

One part of it was they intended to release 06 on all three consoles, unaware the Wii was going to well be the Wii and be unable to run 06.

When it was obvious that wasn't going to happen they halved the staff and made half do Secret Rings.

That and general holiday rushing was what really got it to the state it was in.

aquatic base has an excellent song, the new city song is hilarious, and the pokecapn let's play came out of this games existence

...

Nobody remembers the pokecapn LP anymore because the Grumps one is more popular.

>refocus and get new blood
Nigga, almost the whole team was replaced because of 06 and they certainly haven't been putting out stellar products even after that.

The team was in dire straights over the course of its development

First yuji naka and took a chunk of sonic team with him to form prope. Then they were split again for secret rings like you said since the wii was a pile of shit. Another half of sonic team was also working on nights journey of dreams. AND sonic team also was in charge of phantasy star universe, their online rpg that they hosted servers and created monthly content updates for. At this point in time in 2005/2006 ST was on the point of collapse

>Sonic Project 2017 was probably meant to come out this year for the anniversary
>instead gets delayed so they don't end up with another 06
Nice to see SEGA get at least slightly smarter over the years. I think with this, we can expect 2017 to at least be a Generations tier title. And I know Gens isn't what people want 3D Sonic to be but damn if it isn't fun at least.

It's more functional than Sonic Boom.

Eh, only dud they've made since has been Lost World and it wasn't even THAT bad.

I wouldn't mind another generations if it was actually you know....a 3D sonic game. But all these nu sonic games just boring 2D shit for 80% of the game. They dont even bother to make 3D hubs anymore

im fine with keeping it to myself, half of the jokes in there are wayyy too esoteric for the average viewer anyways

Yeah but have they been of 06 quality?

They are exceptional games hell sometimes good in Generations case

And you really can't use Boom since it's an Outsourced Spinoff

Its the textbook example of literally everything wrong you can do with writing, planning, designing, and programming a game.

Say what you want about the game being rushed, or being forced onto new, untested hardware, the fact is Sonic Team chose to add all sorts of pointless crap nobody wanted into the game, and that took time away that could be used to fix very obvious problems. Nobody wanted 9 different playable characters, plus like 10 other gameplay styles counting things like vehicles. Nobody wanted a multiplayer mode that barely works. Nobody want 50 POINTLESS FUCKING TOWN MISSIONS.

Glitches are NOT the main problem of this game. Are they noticeable? Hell yes, stuff like knuckles wall climbing is inexcusable. But stuff like the Ball Puzzle, Sonic's asinine control, ITS NO USE, and so much other problems are NOT GLITCHES. They were conscious decisions made and approved by people on the development staff thought of as good ideas.

Hubs are a waste of time for Sonic. I'd rather just go from level to level.

tindeck.com/listen/nwfif

And i wouldnt. I could pardon hubs if the games themselves were 3D but theyre not

>I wouldn't mind another generations if it was actually you know....a 3D sonic game
This, holy shit.

I tried to think of something, but it's no use

why would you rather have a hubworld over the convenience of a level select screen?

You realize you can have both in one game right? Adventure and unleashed did it just fine

Silver is the Future Trunks of the Sonic franchise.

>unleashed did hubworlds just fine
>have to go from world map to country hubworld and country hubworld to fucking mission hubworld just to play a level
nigger u wot

OP here, I liked the music, the voice acting was alright, and having the story intertwine between Sonic, Shadow, and Silver was pretty cool

RADICAL TRAIN

>Secret Rings
>Black Knight
>Sonic fucking 4
>Unleashed and UnWiished, especially the lattter
>DS ports in general
>Lost World
Were SA1, SA2, Heroes, and Shadow of 06 quality? No. What's your point? Them being not as bad doesn't make them not bad.
Colors and Gens, Gens being debatable, are the only two good games to come since 06 and you can't count Mania since it's outsourced.

It takes probably 30 seconds to do all that, no joke. Sorry you have ADHD and need to be constantly moving to enjoy sonic, id recommend sonic rush but even that game stops you with enemy rooms.

love that music

youtube.com/watch?v=ncnMzBxP9x4

Hey, buddy, that's your opinion.

>probably takes 30 seconds
Not when it takes you 20 minutes to find the goddamn entrance to the fucking stage. And even if it doesn't, that's still incredibly bad level design. If you need to go through 2 hub worlds just to get to a level, it would be way less asinine to just make it into a menu.

>haha every sonic game is bad XP haha did u guys know sonic is terrible hehe im such a big fan but srsly guys every sonic is bad i hate the series lolz! :)

jump off a cliff

all of those games were met with universally bad reviews. Fuck off.

>you can't count Mania
People count Boom so fuck you, Mania counts too.

Trunk is no where near as bad of a fuckup as Silver.

Silver needed Blaze as his surrogate mother.

>game journos
>their opinion worth anything

fucking lmfao

I know. Thanks for reminding me.
I guess you don't know how to read. Calm down and try again when your autistic rage isn't blinding you.
Nigga, you just said I couldn't count Boom because it was outsourced so why the fuck can you count Mania? You're breaking your own rules.

>game journos
>and players
>and people watching 30 second gameplay clips
>and anyone so much as hearing about any of those fucking games

I think the big question to be asking is how you feel about Sonic 3D blast

And how you feel about sonic 06 actually being a good game despite its faults

>thinks the average person is brilliant and their opinion is worth anything

just stop man. im done with you. you think journos and the average person is smart enough to think for themselves and not fall into peer pressure and think how theyre told to think.

youre probably a retarded normalfag yourself by the way you think.

And you're the paragon of brilliance?
L M A O
M
A
O
Your opinion is even more worthless than retarded journos.

>Secret Rings
Same time as 06

>Black Knight
Admittedly I forgot they existed

The rest aren't Sonic Team aside from HD Unleashed which was half good, and Lost World which wasn't good but not awful either.

The opinions of a bunch of normal, well-adjusted people are worth more than one autistic faggot on an anime imageboard, yes

youre so dumb you replied to me after i said im done with your retarded faggot ass.

keep going bud, monday nights are usually never this hilarious.

Look man, I honestly think besides Sonic 06 and Shadow every main line Sonic game is good, and I don't mean like a guilty pleasure but I mean good quality games, but I honestly can't say 06 is good by any means. Is cool if you like it, but I'm curious why you still think it's good.

motherfucker I can do this all night classes were cancelled tomorrow
bring the fucking (you)s

Sonic Team was directly involved with Sonic 4 Ep 1 and it was miles shittier than Ep 2.
>I'm done with this guy
>but I'll keep posting about him anyways

They had a hand in it but it's still largely DIMPS' game.

It wasn't just a hand. They were coop for that game.

i like it from a very specific standpoint

it dealt with
>being canned and revived 2 times
>still managed to get to store shelves
>sonic team's logo was removed hours before shipping finalized code
>managed to really fucking push the limit of what is and isnt acceptable for a game
>if you can find it in you to not abuse the bugs it has a somewhat solid-enough foundation as a game
>biggest issue is load times but if this werent an issue it wouldnt have been fucking awful to most people
>that OST

there is an astounding amount of potential here that with just some bits reworked a little it wouldnt have been fucking awful

that sonic team logo being removed isnt a joke if you are able to get the data for the sonic 06 360 review build that was dumped partially some time ago youtube.com/watch?v=3nyBENf2qf8

You went fast.

>say somthing nice about it
It's no use

To be honest that's all pretty fair reasons user.

Better than Boom.

>I honestly think besides Sonic 06 and Shadow every main line Sonic game is good
> and I don't mean like a guilty pleasure but I mean good quality games
yeesh

if youre in my spot looking at 06, its not that bad

but you have to be really trying to like it at that point.

Like I fully understand why people may not like games like Heroes, Adventure 1 & 2 and all that but I really can't call them bad.

If we start talking spin off's though, a lot of those are trash.

Is Secret Rings a spin off cause it's part of the story book series? If it's considered mainline add that to the list of shit mainline games.

It's funny to me that your standards are that low but somehow Shadow The Hedgehog was over the line.

Story book games are spin offs

1, 2, 3, adventure, adventure 2, heroes, 06, unleashed, colors, generations, lost world are all main games

Never figured out what cd was

Yeah out of all those games I could only call 06 a trash game.

Well just cause I don't think they're awful games means I think they're absolutely amazing or anything either. Like I don't think Heroes is bad but the controls were a little too slippery, Shadow was way worse for me. Meh stage design, pretty lame boss fights outside of the final boss and the whole choose your own path stuff also ruin the game for me.

CD is not exactly a spin-off, more of a side game. Same with Shadow. They both have in common being canon and using the same type of gameplay as their predecessors but not exactly being main titles.

>Well just cause I don't think they're awful games means I think they're absolutely amazing or anything either
But you did specifically say you think they're all good games. I'm just surprised that somehow Shadow is the cutoff when most of the others were just as bad.

I played through and beat Sonic 06.

Twice.

I don't know if it's masochism or nostalgia being drawn from the long dormant hyper sonic teenage autist in me, but I genuinely like the game. It takes me back to a simpler time.

This buggy mess if a game......well I'll say I thought it was cool having 3 characters to play as. And silver was a cool new addition.

Good does not mean amazing. Like I'd say Lost World was good, but a 7/10 at most.

I actually had a lot of fun with you when you came out. You were buggy and pretty bad but I had a blast

try three times

06 is a guilty pleasure game for me

High meme potential.

youtube.com/watch?v=PG3SWFab7bo

Who 1000/1000 in 06 here?

>Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
>Say something nice

OP, we're gonna need to have a man to man talk together.
You and I both know that what you're asking is just fucking impossible.
This thread is just thinly veiled bait and everyone can see through it.

But I'll give you some credit, since there is one thing that can be said about this game.
And that's the fact that nothing will ever be lower on the spectrum of mockery that this title has gained over the years.
No matter how much the industry deteriorates through bad business practices and dynamically changing social trends, nothing will ever fall lower then Sonic '06 has.

2 hipster points have been added to your account.

>really liked the idea of each sonic level having a super mach speed ending section, was implemented like shit but was a great idea
>lots of playable characters, have to give a gold star for variety
>some great music here and there
>managed to create a very memorable moment in sonic lore, for better or worse

>>Sanic's levels were mostly alright
No they weren't, you watched a video of this nuclear turd and didn't even bother playing it. Anyone defending this mess never touched it.

THROW VON SCHLEMMER IN THE __CUM_

I remember it being fun in a creepy ass Mandela effect sort of way.

Shadows isn't that edgy and some of his levels were probably the least shit.

see not OP but a few of these points can be argued, some cant

Sonic finally went full Final Fantasy/DBZ tier storyline and it was so gloriously bad it was actually kind of fun.

>That part where they all get stuck in the future
