Playing Sonic World just makes me miss Adventure formula even more, TBH.

Like, I love boost, don't get me wrong, it's just...

Adventure formula just had the sauce, man. It's so heckin' fun when done right, and I'll stand by that I think it had more right than wrong in its era. 06 and Shadow are the only real stinkers of that era IMO.

I said this before, but Adventure was peak 3D Sonic in terms of gameplay. Not to say that I hate the boost formula, and overall majority if the boost games are better overall, but Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles controlled like a dream in Adventure 1 and I prefer the more open ended level design as opposed to the more narrower corridor design of the boost games.


It's a damn shame Shadow and 06 had to kill it off for good.

The virgin Sonic Colors port

The Chad Mario 3D World port

Colors didn’t deserve this…

Sonic fans be like, "AT LEAST IT'S NOT $60 THO"

I ****ing hate this dog**** franchise, why do I still get excited for new Sonic games

Metal Sonic
Cream the Rabbit
Shadow the Hedgehog
Rouge the Bat
E-123 Omega
Vector the Crocodile & Charmy the Bee
Espio the Chameleon
Blaze the Cat
Silver the Hedgehog
Classic Sonic
Sticks the Badger
Big the Cat
Honey the Cat
E-102 Gamma
Chaos
Emerl (Gemerl as an alt. character)
Mephiles the Dark
Erazor Djinn

Merlina
Zavok (assisted by the rest of the Deadly Six)
Heavy King (assisted by the rest of the Hard-Boiled Heavies)
Infinite
Classic Eggman
Fang the Sniper/Nack the Weasel

Bark the Polar Bear
Mighty the Armadillo/Ray the Flying Squirrel
Tangle the Lemur
Whisper the Wolf

Potential Guests
NiGHTS
Alex Kidd

I'm feeling either Espio or Omega.

Guess what time it is?

It's wild I'm more interested in a sequel to a live action film for Sonic than I am the next major game tbh

And by wild I mean depressing

Sega please stop mismanaging your mascot challenge (impossible)

Pack it up Sonic fans, it's over.

I understand the disappointment and lack of faith in Sonic ATM but like

For me personally

I'm kinda just going with the flow. I've been with this franchise since I was a wee lad, nothing they do really surprises me anymore and the mismanagement and inconsistency with titles is just the norm for me. I've just kind of accepted it and just play what Sonic games look interesting to me.

Granted, it shouldn't be this way, as Sega is fully capable of greatness: Literally almost all of their other franchises have been popping off lately, there's really no excuse for what's going on with Sonic other than they're still letting the same misguided management from the Shadow and 06 era call the shots, and as long as they continue to do that, nothing will ever change.

Man really waited until he saw this specific port was bad before deciding he wanted to play the game

I remember when this dude was legit upset that he actually liked Mania.


I'd do literally anything to get Egoraptor gone at this point.

Gotta milk those "THIS IS SO BAD LOLOLOLO SO BAD, REALLY BAD, TRASH POO POO BAD HAHAHAHAHAHA" videos for all they're worth.

 

[Jondolio]

I thought Egoraptor was garbage before it was cool.

 

[Schnee117]

At least we got the Symphony

 

[Aurane]

Well? Do you?

No.

All video games are bad.

Go read a book.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I say we wait til the 7th before we say the franchise is doomed.

If a day one patch fixes it, I'll still be happy.

It's just typical Zelda fare: The games we hate rotate seasonally.

It was always a good game.

Ya'll just didn't realize it.

I'M FINALLY PROVEN NOT CRAZY

 

[Speed Weed]

Sonic Colors Ultimate is bad because of all the SEGA 60th anniversary pfps they included in the game, they didn't bring over the Seaman icon

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I could easily see Nick All-Stars getting DLC instead of a sequel simply because that would mean Nick doesn’t have to fund or publish a second physical release. Especially if it sells really well.

Wonder if I should add these guys to my Sonic Clash roster joining the other potential DLC

-Jet
-Dr. Starline
-Captain Whisker & Johnny
-Dark Chao Walker
-Excalibur Sonic
-Reaper Metal Sonic

 

[Guynamednelson]

Sometimes I am really glad I'm not that big of a Sonic fan. What's the point of mocking the "rough transition to 3D" mindset if you're going to **** on most of the 3D games anyway?

I have never heard of Reaper Metal Sonic in my life, but he sounds like some edgy Hot Topic ****er and I love it.

 

[TheMightyP]

At least Sonic 2022 is gonna be good

 

[Wademan94]

Basically it’s Halloween versions of Metal Sonic, I thought he’d be an interesting variant of Metal Sonic having a scythe weapon as well as other spooky attacks

From Sonic Channel and Sonic Forces: Speed Battle respectively

2010's Shadow finally found himself a worthy rival I see.

For real, not sure which design I like more.

Judging by the way Donkey Kong Country humiliated the idea of SEGA’s addons (in America, anyway), it’s become much easier to see why not.

Think you're gonna have to expand on your point here, 'cuz I never heard of DKC being the reason why Sega add-on failed in the west.

Not saying you're lying, but i'm genuily curious where did you find this info.

Yeah, think a mix of both design would be the best, 'cuz on their own, not sure if I like one over the other.

Honestly I just recall it from TV Tropes. When Sega was finding failure with its addons to the Genesis like the CD and 32X, Nintendo seized their chance and put DKC out, boasting how it didn’t require the “cutting edge addons” that were being put out by Sega. Couple that with Sonic’s shoes in DKC2 being shown right before the disaster that was the Saturn, and coincidence and bragging rights make for sheer humiliation.
