The great Sonic debate
the main gameplay of both games kind of suck. so i think sonic adventure 1 wins out, because at least the world is comfy to walk around in and its kind of neat.
2 is functionally better but I hate the treasure hunt stages so much that I virtually never play 2, while I have replayed 1 like a dozen times.
>>736022997SA 1 for me. Better Sonic stages and, more importantly, they take up the majority of the game. The other characters are cool but their campaigns shouldn't take more than 1-2 hours each, they're side content and the Sonic/Shadow stages are the main event, SA 2 forgot this.
>>736022997The first is a more well rounded adventure, but 2 had far more high points.
>>736022997Adventure has the hub world it's what pushes Mario Galaxy well above Mario Galaxy 22 does kinda salvage this by expanding the chao garden though
>>736022997SA1 just lets you play the Sonic campaign and have fun the whole time. 2 has awful mech and treasure hunting levels in the way of the running levels, and when you finally do get to one of those, it isn't always good.
>>736022997SA level design. SA2 physics and gameplay. I think the shooting levels in both are overhated.
>>736022997SA1 has SOULful adventure fields with ambient music, so it's automatically better.SA2 doesn't even have coherent transitions from zone to zone, that even fucking genesis Sonic games had.
>>736022997SA1 was better.The treasure hunting and the mech segments of SA2 got old really fast,I missed the explorable hub map and all I was really ever interested in anyway was the Sonic/Shadow speed stages which were better than SA1s Sonic stages but the rest of the game never stuck to me like 1 overall did.
>>736022997both
>>736022997The camera was way worse in SA1. And the hub areas sucked ass and just got in the way. Also a lot of the stages were less memorable and more generic.The only thing SA1 has going for it is that the campaigns are separated, so you can just do Sonic's story and ignore the rest if you want, whereas you're forced to do the mech and treasure hunt stages in SA2. But this also means that in SA1 if you want to do the other campaigns, you're constantly forced to watch the same damn unskippable cutscenes for every character again.
>>736023137this1 is solid. 2 has higher highs, but way lower lows that ruin it.
>>736023137Valid point, but you only needed to beat the game once and then you could just go to the map screen to replay the sonic/shadow stages>>736023443only S3&K had zone transitions. Granted they were kino
>>736022997SA1: 10 Sonic stages, 6 race stages as Tails, and the other characters and their unique modes max out at 5 stages topsSA2: only one-third of the stages involve traditional run-and-tumble, mechs and treasure hunts make up the restI've honestly never understood people who say SA2 is better.
I think the treasure hunting stages are overhated. Are they as good as speed stages? Well no. But this was also the era of 3D platformers all being collectathons. The only crime of the treasure hunt stages is that they're not sonic stages. As for the mech stages, they're okay for what they are. Just would've been better if eggman/tails could've gained more speed like omega did
>>736023902>only S3&K had zone transitions.S1 had transitions from Scrap Brain to final zone.S2 had Sky Chase into Wing Fortress into Death Egg transitions.
>>736023930Literally only Shadowfags and Rougefags say that SA2 is better. And Knuckles and Rouge shippers
>>736022997Back in the day we hated these lanky ass sanics
>>736022997ProJared was completely right about everything
>>736024583I remember when Jared got cancelled that 2 tards were celebrating.
>>736024583After his sexts were leaked, I went to a convention and saw ProJared taking an escalator up to host a panel while the downward escalator was full.
Why is sega STILL incapable of making a 3D sonic game that properly translates the mechanics and level design of the classic games to 3D?
>>736024721Man just wanted to make sexual poses as sailor moon, the fuck is wrong with that?
>>736024760Boost and open world with 2d sprinkled in is easy as fuck to make.
>>736022997I really wish SA2 had free roam adventure areas like SA1.
>>736024908What I wouldn't give for a proper 3D sonic game where things like loops actually function as loops instead of just being cruise-control auto-scrollers
>>736024940This, and I wish the Tails/Robotnik & Knuckles/Rouge levels weren't terrible
SA2's Chao Garden is infinitely better than SA1s, therefore it's the better game
PINGAS
>>736027154Tomorrow I'll
>>736027008I've literally never seen anyone argue for heroes over SA1/2
>>736027357I've literally never seen anyone argue for heroes
>>736026373
Which SA had the better Amy?
>>736029219I kinda liked how SA1's amy campaign was essentially a watered down survival horror game
>>736027357SA1 and 2 have very fun levels, but they also include fishing levels and shit. Heroes at least is designed where every level can be Sonic running to the goal.
>>736029339Getting to beat the shit out of it at the end was satsifying
Sonic Shuffle
>>7360229972 is indeed better
