Just remember that the 3DS build is just as much in beta as the console version, if not more so. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt for the game until Casino night footage is out, or footage of the game is shown in October.

On this video, at 2:52, the guy says something like "you don't think of guns in Sonic the Hedgehog."

My comment:
"2:52

'Shadow the Hedgehog' says hi."

By "gun," I think they were talking about G.U.N. You know, that government organization in the Sonic universe.

This brings the question of why G.U.N. is chasing after Sonic again, though. I'm guessing that each zone represents a different point in time, so City Escape in Sonic Generations takes place during the events of SA2, Green Hill Zone takes place during Sonic the Hedgehog 1, and so on.

I think for some reason everyone is happier making "lulz Sonic is dead" jokes and ignores the good games that have come out. And as for the Sonic cycle, as mystery dungeon said, it only really applied to Sonic 06. That and Unleashed.

You know, I think that the critic cycle applies to SEGA as a whole. This is why everyone remembers Golden Axe: Beast Rider and Sonic '06 but willfully forgets Valkriea Chronicles and Yakuza 3.

I haven't heard anyone complain about other Sega games, only the Sonic games.
Everyone likes all the other games they've churned out.

I've tried a bunch of modern Sonic games and I truly think they all pretty much suck, except Sonic Colors.

Sonic Adventure 1 is ok. It was probably amazing back in the day.
didn't play SA2
Sonic Heroes sucks hard
Sonic Advance games all suck
Sonic Rush sucks a little less
Shadow the Hedgehog was pretty bad but not terrible
Sonic 06 deserves all of the flak it gets
Sonic 4 was pretty bad
That one where Sonic has a sword, yeah that one sucks too
Sonic Unleashed actually had some cool levels, but half of it sucks
Sonic Colors.......is GOOD? what the

so yeah, that's why I think the Sonic Cycle is funny and true. I hope Generations continues with the Sonic Colors route

So let me get this straight, the 2D game play with the game physics and similar level design to the Genesis games are **** and shouldn't be played by anyone because they aren't that hard? Way to let something stupid ruin an entire trilogy of games for you.

Besides, the only time Sonic games were ever even remotely hard were in the Genesis era.

I really want Sonic 3 and Knux to get some rep in this game

Hydrocity remixed would be awesome

The Genesis games are basically the only ones I like besides Colors. I didn't find the gameplay in Advance to be that similar to those. I don't recall ever saying any of these games should never be played by anyone. I say they suck because I hated playing them.

I liked Advance 1. Haven't beaten Advance 2, but it's too fast x_x
Advance 3 was okay.

Sonic Advance 2 is the dark horse of the 3 Advances, mostly because of the major focus on breakneck speed and not much platforming. But the platforming was there to some degree. Sonic Team and Dimps caught on the main problem of SAd2 and tweaked it for SAd3, making it so only people who have teamed up with Sonic achieve the super speed, but even then, there wasn't much use for the speed boost in-game. Advances 1 and 3 hark back to the gameplay of the Genesis games though.

Going over the list of games though, Heroes was particularly par for the course, and Shadow the Hedgehog improved on the Heroes gameplay at the cost of an overlying gimmick. Secret Rings and Black Knight fall into the same problems the other two did, with SR being pretty awkward but still feasibly good, and BK improving on the engine but with a gimmick that's too overcentralizing to the point of getting most to all of the attention.

Sonic 4, as a platformer, was ok. Sonic 4, as a Sonic-specific platformer, was sub-par.

Sonic Rush was a nice game, and Sonic Rush Adventure did nothing but improve from it.

But Sonic 06 and half of Unleashed deserve the hate they've gotten.

I thought that the Werehog sections of Sonic Unleashed were just fine. This is gonna sound a little harsh coming from me, but I think people were just butthurt that the game wasn't all about SPEED SPEED SPEED SPEED or something, which is why the daytime portions of Sonic Unleashed were so highly praised.

Some parts of the night levels were challenging, and if you died it wasn't because of some glitch or something, it's because you weren't paying close enough attention as you walked across a narrow beam or something. If people were so turned off by the differing gameplay, then I don't know how the hell Sonic Adventure 2 survived and got the praise it did, because it was diverse in its stylings as well. Honestly, is it being bashed in the same way that Duke Nukem Forever is?

"It's GOOD, but....it's just not Duke Nukem."

"It's GOOD, but....it's just not Sonic." Say that about ten years ago to Sonic Adventure 2, hypocrits. lol

Sonic 06?

By any chance are you guys referring to Sonic the Hedgehog for PS3/360?

I was thinking of trying it out before getting Sonic 4, I'm just curious with you Sonic afficionados.

Don't it's the worst Sonic game ever

You can literally just walk a loop instead of running it with how buggy and glitchy this game is

That, and if you're a furry who gets off to seeing young women making out with animals you're in for quite a surprise

To be fair, I think it was mainly Sonic's portions that were abysmal. Shadow and Silver seemed subpar by comparison. Shadow's stages were the funnest of all. A Chaos Control combat system that should have been in Shadow the Hedgehog? I was all over that. It was fun.

Otherwise... Yyyyeah....don't. I somehow managed to make it through myself. Don't quite recall how. But I did.

Wow, seems like you guys have some strong opinions over this game.

Are the mechanics and gameplay really that ****** up?!

I've played Sonic Heroes and thought it was lame, but seriously, I honestly expected better from this looking at the flashy graphics and all.... oh well.....

EDIT: wow, that is horrible, I thought sega was gonna shut him down after this :/

Sonic Adventure 2 was released in 2001, so you're automatically wrong.

But if it is really that great, I have to give it a shot.
