Is the mod for this game or is it still shit?

>>725983898mods dont fix sonic games. they're irreparably broken
>>725983682Why did people reject edginess?
>>725983682i went into this game really hoping i would like it, but holy shit shadow controls like absolute aids. it's legitimately unplayable.
Fun game
>>725984140Cause in their eyes, it violates childhood wonder.
Kinda underrated in the graphics department
Its level design is good! Its music is good!
>>725984140The game was too fucking edgy,dumbass. Its need a fucking balance.edge in moderation.
>>725984241It's the worst mainline Sonic game (if we consider it one, and i do) but a post 9/11 Sonic game about Shadow stopping or siding with an invasion of black aliens on American soil is so beautiful of a thing to actually exist that I forgive itIf nothing else the opening movie will always be one of the top vidya openings
>>725983898the "reloaded" mod that zoomers shill makes it so you only have to play 1/3 of the game to get the true ending. they pretend to use it for other reasons, but that's why they really use it, because they don't want to play the game and want it to be shorter and easier.so it might be up your alley as someone who hates the game.
PS2 version runs like absolute shit compared to GameCube version (and I assume Xbox version too)
>>725984843Zoomers do not play this game.
You know i actually kind of like the alternative endings. Even if they are batshit insane like Shadow straight up killing Eggman or stupid like him going full emo they are still fascinating what-ifs.
Sonic fans have stockholm syndrome
>>725984710they didint go far enough
Reminder that Sonic 1 is better than the grossly overrated 3&K
>>725985274Wrong.
>>725984667>Its level design is good!Not when the ARK levels exist.
>>725983682I'd play a mod that has AI voices of David Humphrey, Ryan Drummond, Deem Bristow, Scott Dreier, etc. instead of the 4kids cast.
Played the multiplayer for this quite a bit as a kid but I wouldn't go back to it.Underrated OST thoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuHIRGwdTu8
>>725983682Nintendo: Let’s give Mario a squirt gun.Sega: How cute.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYpAtS7EO-A
>>725985075>like Shadow straight up killing EggmanIt's not killing Eggman that makes it insane. It's telling him that he's going straight to hell beforehand.
>>725985069Zoomers grew up on this game retard
>>725985546Zoomers are eighteen at best.
>>725983682Holy shit this game was so terrible
Why do I keep seeing the same posts on these thread wtf? having serious deja vu right now
>>725985729The cycle must be broken.
>>725985441I'm still thinking it would be possible to mix adventure style movement and platforming with an arena style third person shooter.It's a shame I can't code for shit.
>>7259852742 mogs both.
>>7259860862 is better than 3&K, but not quite better than 1
>>7259860862 has Metropolis Zone and a weaker second half than 3K.
>>725985954Other FPS like Overkill and Titanfall 2 have shown speed can work in shooters.Hard to think of that mix in action though, maybe something like R&C but the speed and level design of SA1?
>>725986607>Hard to think of that mix in action thoughThis is true, there's a reason they tend to lock you in closets for combat in a lot of movement based action games, Doing so could be a pace killer in a Sonic game, even if it was a Shadow spin off.
>>725986872Your comment reminded me that JSRF also lock you in rooms for it's combat as well compared to JSR having the police chase and shoot at you throughout the level.Maybe something like JSR's take on enemies could work, as long as they're properly implemented so the player doesn't see multiple enemies approaching them at mach 3.
Pro gamer tips for retards who got filtered:Filling your hero or dark meter makes you invincible and have infinite ammo until it runs out. Take advantage of it, it's more useful than actually using Chaos Control or Chaos Blast. Chaos Control is useful against bosses however.The conspicuous round brown rocks like you see near Westopolis' goal ring are breakable with Chaos Blast. Usually you can just go around them, though.Acting against the alignment of the mission you're playing (e.g. killing GUN in a hero mission) deducts from your final score and rank. Don't kill indiscriminately unless you're playing neutral.Hold jump until you're curled into a ball before trying to homing attack Egg Dealer.In Space Gadget, you have to throw the hero mission and wait for Sonic to win before you can do the neutral mission.You can control any partner with the second controller except the ones who fly (Doom, Charmy, Eggman). And they all have attacks, even Maria.Any cracks you're supposed to slide under can just be spindashed under, you don't actually have to get a running start and slide.The Japanese GameCube version has Japanese voices and English text.However blindingly obvious these things all seem, I have seen many people not know them and complain about it.
>>725983682The edge is fine and at times incredibly entertaining, especially in the moments it's crashing right into a wall of Sonic camp writing. The real problem this game has is the strictness of the hero/dark paths. It's total bullshit to have to hunt down EVERY enemy of a certain type in the entire level. Has the last of the good Sonic soundtracks.
>booted game up for the first time in a decade>turns out I still had 3 endings left before getting to the final story>have done this many times back when the game was new but guess I didn't do it the last time I restarted God knows how long ago>say fuck it and crash through all of them and beat the last story tonight>fun was still had after all these yearsThe game's still jank in all the ways I remember it being but it's still like a 6/10. Only things I feel like I forgot was how shitty The Ark was as a stage and the existence of Central City entirely, but the rest more or less came back to me as I played. But I fucking loved this game back in 2005 and I still like it now.
>>725983682I asked Santa for this, kept my letter secret all the way up to Christmas Eve. He did deliver but also gave me a note about how it was quite a last minute struggle for him.
>>725987891Based infodump.
>>725984467Is this a shitpost? It looked very bad in 2005.
>>725988898It looked average. There were worse and better graphics at the time, 360 excepted since the damn thing wasn't out for another week.
>>725988898At least it runs at 60fps
>>725984241Same, i tought it would control like Heroes cause it uses the same engine, but this is so much fucking worse
https://youtu.be/HnMPWgOVGCQ?si=K0wRWnFVtP42fhlb>This is a song from a sonic gameWhat the fuck where they thinking?
https://info.sonicretro.org/List_of_Shadow_the_Hedgehog_Library_sequencesnothing beats this edge
>>725993595Do you really have to play the game 326 times to get 100%?
>>7259861763> CD > 1

>>725993785I'm 30, no gf, and am drinking whiskey alone on a saturday night rather than going out. I have laid out the next seventy years of my life with tonight.
>>725993701No. Only 10 times.
>>725983682superior to jak 2.
>>725993829Godlike.
>>725983682A masterpiece of game design.
>>725993829at least youre not me. i just turned 31. met a girl on facebook dating from florida. she took a greyhound bus to live with me and my parents in PA. after 3 months she discarded me and left me with her depression and a broken nervous system. she had borderline. i wish i looked into it before everything happened. i miss her fat ass and kissing her asshole while i jerk off so much.
>>725984843It has some other changes and does improve the movement but not nearly enoughShadow is the only thing I care about in this series so if they make more games where he's not playable I just won't buy them.
>>725994105Well it gives you something to drive for.
>>725983682Best game ever
>>725993595>Ghost of The ARKCanon.
>>725995372The Black Hero's Rebirth is canon.
>>725995868NO, NO, NO it's the one I said.
>>725984241>>725993017It's not THAT bad if you don't take it seriously. Shadow does have very loose control and the physics aren't quite what one would hope when you try to lean into them, BUT if you're not trying to A rank every mission then they're good enough to get you to the credits.
>>725993701Only if you have severe autism.
