The music was always the best part of Sonic if that counts

Yeah.

It wasn't greatest of all time but it was good.

yes

The original games are unironically good. The 3D games are more of a guilty pleasure

The original Mega Drive games are some of the best platformers ever made, especially 3&K.

Absolutely, his main Genesis games are a treat

no

Sonic 2 and 3&K were and still are good
Sonic 1 and CD weren't and aren't good

Yes, and it will be the GOAT again

What shaer are you using user?

It was OK, but never earned its place as an icon. I always preferred Rocket Knight Adventures.

Sonic and Sonic 2 on the Master System are the most fun, even if they only last about an hour each. The Mega Drive ones seemed more frustrating and boring somehow.

yes

No. But I understand it was literally the only series you had growing up, so I won't try to take that nostalgia from you.

>Sonic 1 had good platforming
lmao

yeah Sonic Adventure 2 was the last good Sonic then it fucking turnt to shit dude.

ye

I liked 3D blast

I do to user, I do to.

Easily a top five game for it. It sucks that internet memes mean we'll never get an SA3.

I acknowledge that it isn't too great but I do have fond memories of playing it as a kid, so I can't bring myself to dislike it.

you did

Play any fucking indie platformer, and then try playing Sonic 2. It holds up extremely well.

06 was a reboot attempt if that's what you're talking about

It's sat perfectly in between SA1 and SA2 in terms of gameplay style and overall structure. Even if the setting is different, it's a successor in spirit.

Okay but it wasn't SA3

1 and CD are the best ones tho

>somehow had a better game than mario last year
>has better modern kart racers in general

honestly didnt see this coming

1 is undisputed garbage as compared to the later ones but did have at least one fun level
CD is pretty good in the new version, interesting gimmick and good soundtrack paired with frustrating level design.

>Not Sonic Transformed 3

Spiritual sucessor does not mean sequel.

Yes. Only hipster faggots say otherwise.

yes

> Sonic Mania was better than Odyssey
That's like comparing Tetris with Professor Layton. They're vaguely within the same genre and occupy the same console, but that's about it.
Neither was bad, and Odyssey was fantastic, so I'm gonna have to say you're wrong.
> inb4 "this soyboy nu-male faggot thinks odyssey was good, bing bing wahoo"
There, you don't even have to type out your word vomit anymore.

Yes. The genesis games are still some of the best platformers around. They have incredibly satisfying physics and controls, and large levels filled with secrets which give you multiple ways to play.

The 3D games can be decent. I still enjoy the Sonic Adventure games despite their flaws.

Adventure DX is garbage. Play the original release or fuck off.

Sonic 1 and Sonic CD are not very good. Sonic 2 and Sonic 3&K were excellent.

Advance series, Adventure series, Heroes, and a few other games are decent.

Mania is fun but not original enough (hopefully Ray and Mighty help with that).

"Sonic 4" and Sonic '06 were giant sacks of shit and are not even canon IMO.

I guess they aren't really comparable based on genre, but in enjoyment. If all games had to be comparable like that then there would be no way some one could claim a game is goty.

>06 was a reboot attempt

Please explain what it rebooted.

I'm not even the guy you're replying to but it tried to reboot Sonic Adventure you dumbfuck

Yes, Sonic was good. Just one time though. Pic related.

I'm still sickened by this, even though I want it. I could have waited for the physical release instead.

2, 3&K and CD are all great games
1 is all over the place in quality but is more good than it is bad
Sonic Chaos and Triple Trouble are good
Sonic the Fighters and Tails Adventure are the low key best games of the franchise

Why is Knuckles grabbing Sonic's foot like that?

So he can wrap Sonic around his hand and use him as a boxing glove.

>Series co-creator and team lead Yuji Naka envisioned the next-generation Sonic game as a reboot of the franchise, and wanted to mimic the success of superhero films such as Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Batman Begins (2005).[13] They decided to use the same title as the original 1991 game[14] that had launched the franchise to indicate that it would be a major advance from the previous games.
Come on boy

Sonic Heroes has a few really good levels, but the game itself kind of blows because of the team-based gameplay and the fact that you had to do all of the same levels four times to get the real ending.

The music fucking slapped, though. youtube.com/watch?v=VRUdjM6-iR8

The Genesis ones were really fun and colorful. Better than anything indie for the most part.

The Dreamcast and later, I dunno, shit looks fucking weird.

Sonic was never good.

>make game about character who goes really fast
>slow him down for most of the game by sticking him in water and having to jump on slow devices/contraptions
sonic was bad. i loved it as a kid but going back now, it's poorly designed. rather play megaman x

Just think. If you buy it again it's only $30 and you're basically securing the existence of future Whitehead and headcannon 2D games

There's about 10 sonic good games though.

I don't even have a current gen console anyway, and physical PC releases aren't a thing anymore, so I don't really care.

If I got a Switch, maybe I'd buy it again, but I'm not too wild about buying games I already own again, even for the portability.

Sonic seems to be enjoying it haha

It was never good.

I'm still debating whether I want to do it or not. I mean, I have the disposable income, but I'm like you, I don't want to buy the same game twice.

How long until arin hanson either does an hero or fucks off into complete irrelevancy (he's mostly there already)?

>having to jump on slow devices/contraptions
Is there a reason why most of the people who claim Sonic was never good never seem to utilize rolling for whatever reason? You're supposed to spend most of the game rolling through enemies and gaining speed by rolling down hills and loops, that's literally why he was designed as a hedgehog in the first place.

It's not like the control scheme is complicated either. You press any button to jump, and down to roll. That's it. I guess they're just brainlets.

1 is okay
2 is trash
3K is great
CD is great
Mania is GOAT

i saw you forgetting that ) faggot

shhhhh

I fully believe the only people that even like Heroes, nevermind think it's one of the best, either never finished it or only played it when they were 9 and haven't looked at it since.

same
and it helped that the soundtracks for bother versions were fantastic

It Was Never Good, And I'm Really Fucking Confused As To Why So Many Unbrainless Morons Rated Mania Anything Above A 6/10, And Thats Being Extremely Generous

It's A Blatant Mario Knockoff That Should Have Died In The 90s

>a blatant mario knockoff
you almost had me

You Not Wanting To Accept The Truth Doesn't Make It Not The Truth

Sanic Mania is eggcellent game. Go to Jewtube and see some gameplay videos. It's great.

Yes. This "I'm so fast that I can't react to anything in time" argument is bullshit. Rolling exists for a reason. All you have to do is press down while running.
Also, 1, 2 and Mania are widescreen now.

>6/10 higher than 5/10

5/10 means mediocre
6/10 would imply semi good

If I already have the game, do I have to buy it again? Or do I get some kind of discount?

Why Are You Capitalizing Your Words Like A YouTube Commenter

Play it and find out you stupid fucking faggot.

If you already have the game, the Plus content will be given out as DLC, but we haven't been told how much that'll cost.

Sonic should be good but Sonic Team fucks every opportunity the guy has, it's an indisputable fact after seeing the whole Mania vs Forces fiasco

Yes you dumb nigga. Go back to game grumps.

The best 2D game is still better than the best 3D one, Unleashed though.

18+

This.
1-3+K are all actual great platformers.
Adventure1+2 are mediocre but the evolution of the autism is worth seeing through to the end.

1 is a legit great game.

Green Hill and Starlight are the only good zones from Sonic 1

>Sonic 1 and CD weren't and aren't good

trash taste, friend

and even that they managed to ruin it

Find me one slope that isnt a straight line in a 2D Mario game
I'll wait

Every level except Labyrinth was good.

Whoops for

Picture source?

Sonic was good. Just as many good modern games as Classic games, but so many modern games got meme'd on by reviewers, so Sega got scared of doing anything that was decent with the mdoern games and keep trying random shit every new game.

What about the Taxman ports of the classics? They're widescreen and has more at the end of the screen

git gud lil nigga

How about you buy an extra copy instead of me.

I dunno user. I think the point of Sonic is to always be as far right as possible no matter the aspect ratio as to not see what's coming and/or memorize the layout for next time. It's not an unfun game. Just poorly designed.

>Tons of rings to keep you safe
>Curling up into a ball makes you safe against anything other than spikes and projectiles
>UHHH I GOT HIT THIS GAME SUCKS
No wonder nintenbros are bad at video games

Name a reason why dx is unplayable and i'll tell you how you're fucking lying

It's a game about speed. Either you slow down as to adequately see where you're going or you simply have to be hit. Taking damage should not be a requirement to be a functional game. And if it's not, you have to go slow, which defeats the purpose of the game.

Sure. The only trouble is that you can't sell a Sonic game this day in age when it's over and done within two hours. Same problem Star Fox has.
