I forgave them for Sonic 2. I forgave them when they reused the Green Hill Zone. I forgave them introducing the faggot side kick fox who does literally nothing except drown and fall off ledges just so they could have a "cute" character appeal to girls and children. I forgave them when they starting designing levels around the "lolsofast" gimmick instead of good platforming mechanics. I forgave them for cutting levels from three acts down to two. I forgave them for handing you continues and lives left and right. I forgave them for the trash vehicle section at the end of the game and for the fucking super-saiyan crossover.
And then I load up the new one and I see this fucking shit. I think maybe this is a way to track your high scores individually? But no, of course not. They completely eliminated the continue system. Don't worry, if you die you'll just always start over at the level you left off. You'll never play the same level twice! Because of course the target audience doesn't actually ENJOY playing the game--Sonic Team wants you to play this game once and put it back on the shelf until they can sell you some fucking lock-on cartridge expansion gimmick SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY FINISH THE GAME.
I'm fucking livid, I can't believe how much they casualized this game, holy fuck.
Hudson Baker
You can replay any stage once you beat the game.
Adrian Reyes
>reading comprehension
Hey dipshit, the point isn't I personally can't replay the levels (if I want to replay, I start from the beginning, like in, you know, sonic games.).
I'm talking about how every single thing about this game has been casualized to fuck. It's not enough for them to introduce another new furry fucking character, now you can actually just play as "Tails" by himself and trivialize the levels by flying over everything.
Austin Barnes
Sonic 3 & Knuckles is over twice as long as the rest of the Genesis Sonic games. Not having some way to save your progress or even a password system would be fucking idiotic.
Dominic Myers
>good platforming mechanics Sonic 1? Good platforming? That's a laugh.
Angel Mitchell
shitty satire
Eli Sanders
Yeah, the sequels are so much better, just hold right until you get to the goalpost.
Luis Russell
>O-once you buy the expansion the shitty casual decisions make s-sense guys!
Jordan Perry
Try playing as Knuckles, then.
Joshua Ramirez
Wow, you're like 23 years late on this. I feel bad for your shit taste.
Cooper Mitchell
>Wanting to play through the entire game at once, in a game with 14 fucking zones >Wanting the game to be about fucking high scores >Thinking that a saving system is casual
Juan Cox
How is having a character who can sail over everything going to make me hold right less, exactly?
Hudson Jenkins
He plays more like Sonic and can't fly over anything but is slower. Some of his stages are based around wall climbing and gliding.
Owen Garcia
>>Wanting the game to be about fucking high scores >>Thinking that a saving system is casual
Yeah sorry that I actually enjoy playing games more than once and like trying to do better. Enjoy playing each level exactly once and then buying a new game tomorrow.
Cameron Lopez
No save is an option right there. What the fuck are you complaining about?
Jackson Fisher
Wow, 5/10 for getting me to reply. Sonic & Knuckles was an amazing game in its own right. Maybe because jew practices weren't as common back then like they are so prevalent today, I could understand the notion that they ran out of time in Sonic 3 so they made & Knuckles as a whole new game for extra sheckles. But no one felt that back then because it was amazing to have that backwards compatibility/lock on tech and added a dufhch hgdgfxghcjvcj Tl;dr you're a fag
Thomas Lewis
You can make a new save file, faggot. A game's replayability does not come down to a fucking high score system. Also
Nathan Rodriguez
Like I've said numerous times, it's the entire design philosophy behind this system that destroys franchises. Let's not make levels replayable with shortcuts, secrets, and challenging sections--let's hold right until we reach the end of the level.
But the fans don't care about that. What the fans really want is more ancillary characters until the game features an ensemble cast of furries piloting mechs, fishing and digging for jewels.
Dylan Rodriguez

Alexander Anderson
>382973054 >Thinks that Tails and Knuckles are furry designs >Thinks Sonic isn't
Explain to me how they're hold right to win. Sonic 3 also has extra shit like the secret stages, exactly like Sonic 1, and multiple routes. Different characters even have different levels. 2/10. No (You) for (You).
Michael Robinson
3 is basically Sonic 2 in level quality. Though I agree with you that 1 is the best of the 3.
Kayden Perry
Sorry it took so long to reply, my dad needed the phone so I had to get off AOL for a minute. >Can't read a thread >Calls me autistic Nice post you prolapsed shitbox.
>Sonic is furry He looks like a cartoon.
>Explain to me how they're hold right to win. The characters aren't hold right to win, the level design is. They just pad out the level with loopdeloops instead of real platforming.
Jayden Morgan
Thats what No Save mode is for you fucking degenerate
Jeremiah Miller
HOLY SHIT, how many times will you retards repeat this?
Daniel Morgan
>382974258 I meant the level design, sweetie.
Jackson Morgan
I literally avoid Sonic 1 because of the second zone. Why are you so assmad
Nathaniel Russell
Oh yeah cause marble zone is totally replayable with all those hot alternate routes lmao
Matthew James
This. Fuck Sonic 2 for doing that shit and FUCK people who want long games.
Jason Jenkins

Brody Cruz
This is all true, but why do you have to behave like a humongous faggot, OP? Bickering with an entire thread making fun of you can't be good for your self esteem. Also, Sonic was always intended to be a children's franchise, they probably heard stories of kids who had a frustrating expirience with the first game, so they balanced the sequels accordingly.
Joseph Baker
>382976585 (You) suck
Ethan Richardson
Yeah the sonic franchise is bound for greatness pandering to literal children. Can't wait to see what they do next.
Hudson Robinson
>382977717 It was always made for literal children
Parker Gonzalez
Are you guys fucking kidding me? Jesus Christ Sup Forums has become pure reddit. It's a shitpost to make fun of how you autists flip out at trivial shit like Mario oddysey having no game overs, saying that it's appealing to casuals. This board is getting worse and worse everyday.
Jonathan King
Why the fuck are you so mad about it? It's just Sonic
Aiden Martin
>Would always hit button that sent me back to title screen
Levi Lewis
I know this is LARPing and a low-quality bait but, in the off chance you are actually that much butthurt over a 25-year old game, I wanted to tell you that you should neck yourself.
Brody Thomas
How does one LARP on Sup Forums. Do I have to wear a costume?
