Are any of the 3DS Sonic games worth buying? I've had an urge to play one for some time now.
Daniel Ward
Generations and Fire and Ice are ok.
Ian Murphy
3DS Generations a shit. 3DS Lost World a shit. I've heard good things about Fire and Ice.
Jackson Hughes
Silver a cutie
Caleb Sanchez
Generations was meh with good music, Lost World was a disaster, Shattered Crystal was stale, Fire & Ice was meh. Only bother if you're a completionist.
You're better off using your 3DS to play the DS games.
Justin Mitchell
Guess I'll just watch gameplay and pick whichever looks the coolest.
God fucking dammit, my hype is through the roof. Do you think we'll see more CGI?
Ian Flores
user never got back to me on my lewd request
I love the designs of these things, like those little mass produced Gundams. But ... massive.
Logan Rivera
They look more like Egg Robos/ Death Egg Robot hybrids than anything else
Eli Johnson
>like those little mass produced Gundams.
You mean GMs?

So, the Sonic in this pic I don't mind. The art could stand to be more detailed, but I don't mind the expression he's convaying. It's on a range that we haven't seen him convey in some time.
The Espio however... I can not even come close to defending. Like seriously, what the fuck is that?
Wyatt Hernandez
as a whole the boss battles in Advance 2 were obnoxious and difficult
Nicholas Baker
Yeah I basically feel the same way.
Has anyone from Angie that has worked on the Sonic comics gone on to work at one of the big 2?
Jonathan Anderson
>Angie You mean Archie, and yeah. Though it's mostly been editorial. Kaminski is at DC and Gabrie went to Marvel. Lim and Butler used to work at Marvel
this is weird, but i unironically really enjoy Lost World
if you just pretend you're playing reskinned Mario, the experience gets a whole lot better
unfortunately you're reminded of how cool it could have been once you get to the amazing stage that is Desert Ruins Zone 2 and see how much more fun it is compared to the rest of the game

So considering how lego dimensions handled the franchise, and the how well received the lego batman movie was do you think that would be the best case scenario for the 2018 sonic movie would be something with that writing style
Luis Russell
Keep it in the middle Dark shit with lighthearted parts
So basically remake Adventure and 2 into a movie so we can get a movie version of THUNDAH
What's with all the homoshit today? Just kinda came out of nowhere.
Joshua Lee
1. better tutorials
2. remove the run button, and replace it with sa1 styled physics
3. and probably most important remove most if not of the gimmicky levels that don't focus of platforming, maybe the 2d platforming levels as well
William Robinson
You free the Freedom Fighters in the bonus stage.
Grayson Hernandez
I think lizurd broke his tail
Christian Bennett
The short answer is "chuck it out and start from scratch"
The long answer is "get rid of all the 2D sections, change the physics engine so it's momentum-based, change the level design so it's not floating tubes in the air and compliment the momentum, change the parkour button to be a dedicated wallrun button that is affected by trajectory, change the spindash so it's an actual spindash and not a glorified infinite boost, get rid of the run button and make speed based on the analog stick, remove all Wisps and gimmicks that don't compliment the new physics and level design philosophy, rework the bosses so they're not garbage, fire Pontaff into the sun and rewrite the entire plot and script"
Julian Foster
Sutpid gays
John Murphy
I'd like it of Sega took the opportunity to adopt the freedom fighters into the games, but I think they'd have to be completely rewritten from their comic and tv show selves, like the Chaotix.
Anthony Sanders
Wasn't there originally going to be a satam game back then?
Dominic Ramirez
I don't trust Sega to keep the likable aspects of their characters and not just revert them Deadly Six tier one note stereotypes. I know for damn sure a game canon Antoine would literally be SaTAM Antoine
Evan Allen
But what if...
Hudson Nelson
Yeah, that would suck
Adam Mitchell
I think like unfortunately. I don't there could be a good SatAM game which would not be a fangame. Sega will never outsource the project to a passionate team because the fanbase is too small. And this is good, remember how greedy executives made Boom RoL the trash it is.
Luke Young
>I don't trust Sega to keep the likable aspects of their characters and not just turn them into actual Sonic characters.
Luke Brooks
TBF sega themselves portray the charicters, like what happened, to shadow, amy, and knuckles after SA2
Connor Mitchell
Sega has the ability to portray the characters with actual nuance and shit, but after Black Knight they decided to hire writers who just write them as one note as possible.
Gabriel Mitchell
*Portray the characters badly
Chase Lopez
Man, I still don't understand why Metal Sonic and Shadow are in Boom other than because the fanboys got on their ass. There's no explanation for either one of them's existence and all they do is show up for boss battles and then leave having affected nothing and nobody. I hope that one episode with Shadow was the last. I don't think he ever appeared in the comic version of Boom either.
Another thing that bothers me, why say they want to include more of Sonic's cast in the boom franchise when people already don't like them? Nobody wants to see Boom Rogue, Boom Blaze, Silver, the Rogues, Chaotix or Marine and Cream. There's not even chaos emeralds.
Ethan Johnson
>write them as one note as possible.
Yes, that's what I mean. As actual sonic characters.
