/sthg/ - Sonic The Hedgehog General

>tfw no 3DS Sonic Mania

Just why. It was a perfect match for the system. As was Shovel Knight, it sold like gangbusters in it.

Here's yer review

"Sonic has seen it's fair share of bad games across more recent years, a series that struggles with finding it's identity. Is it a cartoon esque Mario world or is it about beastiality? Despite this, Sega keep making Sonic games. With Mania being out, is Sega able to deliver the impossible, two great Sonic games in a row?

The trouble starts straight away when we realise that Sega has brought all of Sonic's friends back, the inclusion of which makes the game feel cluttered with unnecessary dialogue, making the player wish everyone was mute just in the old days. Some characters feel like they were just thrown in there arbitrarily, like Chaos from Sonic Adventure 2, who feel like they're there just to appeal to fans who can't see their favourite game has aged like milk. At least he can't speak though, which is what they should have done for the rest of the furry ensemble. Who wants to hear Vector say the city is on fire, I can clearly see that. The game fails to show it's story through presentation. Sega also brings such fan favourites such as ... Silver from Sonic 06. Whoever made the decision to remind fans of THAT game needs to be fired.

Right, I see it now. Will remember for future threads.

Cool!

Xth for Sonic Mania is shovelware

Reminder that Eggette is best girl.

Beat it.

The new addition to the game is an OC Creator. Yes, they actually went and put it in. This allows you to create your own Sonic characters, a joy for anyone who's 5 or wears a fursuit. Of course, they;re a massive Mary Sue who gets to do everything cool. The only thing worse than the idea is the lazy writing that comes with it. Why would Sonic need help from anyone, let alone some nobody? The story seems to jump all over the place, with Shadow talking about Maria from Shadow The Hedgehog, it seems that Sega is intent to spoil what Mania did, making people forget Sega makes horrible Sonic games.

The gameplay is another issue. Sonic has always been about going FAST. The sense of speed in the originals meant you never once felt like you were waiting for anything. Sega have ruined this by putting obstacles in the way you can't dodge, or maneuvre easily, making the game feel like it's actively trying to stop you going fast. When the game punishes you for doing what it's selling you on, it's just wrong Sega.

At the end of the day, Sonic Forces is best left untouched. Maybe Sega should just end the series now, and make people think that Mania was the last game and end it on a high, and finally let the blue blur die honourably.

Graphics - 6
Story - 2
Gameplay - 3
Water - 9

Overall 4.5

First for silver a cute!
A cute!!

... I WAS BEAT
That's ok. I'm happy someone thinks he a cute!

I picture some douche in a YouTube video saying this word for word in the most obnoxious way possible. Very realistic user, good job

that's me wife yer postin'

The funny thing is, I don't think that would be too far off from the actual reviews.

All the little details are there. Sonic's rocky history, Sonic's shitty friends, shittalking other unrelated games, Silver=06 and isn't known for being in anything else, the OC creator, Sonic should ALWAYS be fast otherwise It's not Sonic, and Sonic games punish you for trying to go fast.

It's perfect. I give your posts a 10/10.

>sonic mania a huge success
Will this mean something to the future of the franchise?

More Mania like games to go with the Modern games

What do you love about being a Sonic fan?

Reminder humans can love mobians.

I'd be well up for that.
I do like it when Modern Sonic games try new things. They sometimes fail, but it's nice seeing the attempt and sometimes we get fucking Sonic Colours tier.

That being said, having a bunch of people work on just making classic based games and expanding on them, as long as they were allowed to do new things I'd be super fucking happy.

Adventure Sonic should be allowed at least one game though.

maybe more 2d titles that don't suck on the level design aside Advance 1 and Rush Adventure

Your wife? I think you're confused, user.

drawing nsfw sonic art

Since Eggman has a new emblem emblem, does The Resistance have one?

I really hate this condescending trite.

As such; very nice emulation of it, user. This sounds exactly like what a youtube or IGN review would provide.

As long as they aren't crappy tie ins sure.

You arseholes are changing me into a clone of Boco. Stop.

Literally only two minor mistakes in the OP & the thread's been fine.

Who is your favorite girl and what's your favorite fetish?

D'aww, how cute.

Well, you held up your end of the bargain. Here's mine.

>Sonic Colors tier

I still don't understand the love of Colors. Unleashed; I get to some degree. Generations; I get to some degree. Hell, I can entirely understand feeling 06 is a guilty pleasure since it is the closest thing to adventure style that we've had in years. But, I don't understand the love of Colors

CD would've been better than Mania without Wacky Workbench

Looks like a normal thread to me.

It's mostly the usual starting shitposts and harmless crap.

Mania > 2 >= 3&K >CD > 1

I'd say mania does metallic madness better than CD does; but yeah, CD's still strong as fuck.

Typical starts don't devolve into fighting over waifus or have shit like "I wanna get eaten!".

I know people will have a go for putting Mania first but CD and 3K are two of my favourite games of all time, and Mania feels like the lovechild of both.

That being said, Mania's final boss is a bit here and there, but at the same time, CD's final boss was trash and 3K had fucking Carnival Night. No, not the barrel, just the whole fucking level.

Although I fucking despise Oil Ocean Zone, fuck that noise.

Oh sorry, it's the same posts made in every /sthg/ thread as opposed to the beginning of every /sthg/ thread

Don't bother. user just wants to find something to complain about.

Been here from the start. Typical of shit threads when it goes past single "nth for [character or thing]" posts or have shit things in them in general.

I like Metallic Madness a lot so I don't mind. The boss is significantly better in Mania though

Mania has all these great aspects and things added, but for some reason it doesn't go much further than 3&K. It's not even the old stages that bug me, it's the simple shit like unlockables being No Save exclusive and the lack of transitions. CD also just has the better animated scenes. I only really like Tyson Hesse's intro and the ending cutscenes in Mania all fucking suck

...

...

I have nothing witty to say. This is ugly.

Could you post it?

We've had good threads with that stuff in there.

>"Attention /sthg/ shoppers, just a reminder that we love each and every one of you."

Modern Green Hill (Forces) is literally, LITERALLY a straight line. How can you Boostfags defend this?

...

Those are the exception. And considering the shit that's being dumped right now, my point is only being proven.

i don't think even the people who like forces are defending that aspect of it.

A fitting punishment for Geoffrey Saints John.

Did anybody here watch Vinny play Sonic 3 with Imakuni?
youtube.com/watch?v=6Q9SXJZRNCE

*complains about negligence of image resizing at customer service*

i'd need to find it, it was on tumblr so it might take a bit.

I like Boost & I've disagreed with the linear level design. I'll probably enjoy the rest of the game, though.

I would just leave that user alone. He's getting upset over nothing

and the shit that's all over the bathroom floor

Who the fuck draws this and then thinks "Yeah, that looks good"?

drop dash or insta-shield?

What are some positive things that came from the fanbase?

...

Why not both?

>"All complaints must be submitted in writing. Thank you for your time."

Sonic Mania.

The good fangames & porn.

Penders silly

...

Sonic 3 Insta-Shield after reading the Mania one doesn't extend your attack radius. Drop Dash is more useful for levels and going fast while the Insta-Shield cheeses bosses. I'd personally like to have both for the fastest play possible

Mania

not as good as i remember, but definitely less terrible.

still far from perfect or ideal, as there's a lot of ken's stank present, but everything about his style is better before he vomits his "coloring" onto it

>the Mania one doesn't extend your attack radius
Then what the fuck does it do?

Porn and memes and Sonic utopia & Knucles

>shit threads have these specific things
>we've had good threads with those things
>all of them are exceptions they don't count

Okay, user.

gives you iframes

the W-Spin Attack is wholly unappealing to me, i have no interest in cheesing bosses nor is it particularly necessary when you're already playing well. it's a crutch that people who grew up with Sonic 3 got used to, but it doesn't take long to realize the games are better without it.

Thanks, user. You do a nice boop!

Some good music, art, fangames, romhacks, and porn.

5. Sonic CD.
Cool, top 3 OST. My problem is the replay value. And there is a thing that annoys me: the levels maps, which sometimes (many times) feel off, specially when you time-travel and end up stuck somewhere

4. Sonic 1
Very simple. Very basic. And comfy.

3. Sonic 2
It's the one I relatively care less for. Many cool zones.

2. S3&K
It was always my all-time favourite.
Perfection
As a kid, I was always fascinated by everything about this game, to the awesome story, to the HUGE replay value - actually, way back before I updated myself to the PS2, I was "bored" with my Genesis playing only Sonic & Knuckles over and over, and over, and over... and over again, as it was the one game that I could nicely play every day. for so many months lol. (yeah, S&K, because S3 was filled with bugs because of the cartridge itself- S&K too, but here I could actually ger all the emeralds wiyhout the game reseting itself)

1. Mania
Sorry S3&K, there is a new king in town.
It got everyrhing that made the oldies all gold, and more. Longer levels, gorgeous background, more challenging experience...
It is a beautiful game

>minority of threads with garbage in them are good
>this means they all are
>smug shitpost image
Guess how I can tell you were dropped as a baby.

>he says this as bosses like Studiopolis 2 and Oil Ocean 1 are just as cheesable even without it
Dumb shit.

>just because you can cheese some bosses means you should be able to cheese all of them
