Why did we pretend it was cringe?
It's not a good game.
We weren't pretending
>>736117882Because it was cringe but retards pretend it was kino or whatevber.Turning a random franchise into EDGY VIOLENCE GUNS AND SWEARING was the Marvelslop of its era, a cynical attempt at getting a bigger audience even if it mean sacrificing the spirit of the series.
hating on Sonic was the coolest thing back then
itt: filtered FAYGITS
Because it IS cringeAnd it has shit level designAnd shit gameplayAnd they bloated the game with a billion "routes" that only take you to like 5 actual endingsAnd the multiplayer sucked dick
>>736117882>let's give a character whose best friend was killed with a gun by a member of an organization called GUN a gun
>>736117882This game came out when I was 14 years old, which is the perfect age to enjoy it.
>"the game is bad because of [optional content you dont have to do]"
This game was shit 20 years ago and it's still shit.
>>736118297To unlock the final level, you do
Because it was and no amount of embrace your cringe!!1! xOOO zoomer overcorrection is going to change that.
It controls like slippery ass because it uses Heroes as the base.The character models being ripped straight from Heroes also clashes with how edgy the game is trying to be.
Dumb retards think shit posting the same rhetoric every thread is sport.
It was
Shadow the Hedgehog was a VERY good gameUnlocking Hard Mode was the coolest thing ever.
>>736118803Every day is repost day. Always has been, always will be.
It's cringekino
>>736118095>Turning a random franchise into EDGY VIOLENCE GUNS AND SWEARING was the Marvelslop of its eraaside from jak 2 (which is a great video game) what franchises did this? People keep parroting this statement but I don't see it in reality
>>736118297the canon ending requires you to>finish westopolis ten times>finish the 2nd batch of stages three times on average>finish the 3rd batch of stages two times on average>beat black doom and the gun commander 3 times>beat egg dealer 4 times>kill every single fucking enemy in a stage like 40% of the time (the real dealbreaker)Heroes did this and it was also retarded, except this game plays even worse and has even shittier versions of Chaotix missions that take over everything.
You don't want to talk about games you wanna spin subliminal garbage narratives.
>>736117882>Disgusting black creatures get out of my sight>is blackNigga what
Guess what that makes you. A narrative weaving tranny. All of you.

this was my first actual sonic game I got into
If I say the N word then I'll see more N word. if I say post Maria then you'll be a totally epic justicar. Kys. Like your game is hard to see through chuds.
>>736120061epic desktop
Literally astroturfed by fucking nobodies.
>>736119898Shadow is white, he just suffers from a severe case of reverse-vitiligo.
>>736117992but Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 are?
>>736121528Is this literally me? I know it's not. But it's fun to ask.
>>736117882Dunno. Sonic is cringe incarnate. They should be used to it by now.
>>736118858Translators should be hanged.
Where do you stupid niggers organize is what I wonder. I know you have a discord under this website. It's cum unity driven not anarchy
>>736117882>pretendlollmaoWe were old enough to be conscious during the 00's and knew it was both trying too hard to match its generation (i.e. Sonic's marketing priority) and was the point Sonic as a series really started to lose coherency even if you were just an Adventure fan. It's pretty funny now seeing then-toddlers who grew up leaning into one of the many Internet sub-divisions of Sonic's warring fandom now think they understand Sonic at its deepest level when they artificially share the same opinions as Deviantart emo fangirls.
>>736117882One of the endings really was cringe, particularly the one where Shadow goes "I'm the most powerful hedgehog!" on some Vegeta shit, that genuinely was the worst one in how corny and pretty repetitive it was since there's an ending where essentially the same thing for being the strongest, but without the in your face Vegeta knock off ending when while Shadow is Sonic's Vegeta he's anything but like Vegeta, which as Sonic Battle gba for Shadow's story lays out.Rouge: His hope was that no matter how crazed and obsessed with destruction mankind might became, the weapons themselves would never fight. Shadow, you are afraid of your own power. It troubles you. But, you've never used your power recklessly. You've never used it selfishly. Gerald's wishes have come true.^And given Piccolo's speech in Buu saga when Vegeta asked him if he'll be going to hell which yeah for using his power selfishly and without any regard for anyone else.
>>736122135To add onto this ironically Shadow has more in common with Goku than Vegeta actually.
>>736121687The game was developed in the US
Every text box is dull and grey
>>736120061Now it's just missing Shadow of the Colossus and all of the SMT games.
>>736121551>strawmannot an argument
>>736119720Prince of Persia: Warrior Within did this around the same time and like Shadow the Hedgehog it was a way better game than its predecessors regardless of the tone.
>>736117882Oh, so THIS is cringe now?
>>736117882>weIrony poisoning became popular, which then spiraled into the era of Marvel quips, looking back into the camera moments, and "Well THAT just happened"s. Now you have people defending shit like the Sonic Movies injecting godawful jokes and fart humor into scenes because they're deathly afraid of being cringe, without realizing that what they've made is far more cringe than what they're trying to avoid.
I wish Shadow used weapons more.
>>736125330The swords were cool
I A ranked the entire game and bosses. once you do that you unlock expert mode, and expert mode is a straight run through of a harder version of every stage without the missions. it is pure kino. too bad no one else but me experienced it that way, and it should've been like that at the start. but I love shadow so the flaws are arguable.
>>736117882It's cringekino. The levels can get a bit repetitive but it's an improvement over Heroes and the story is so-bad-it's-good so I can give it a pass to take the piss in spite of how much it shits all over SA2 Shadow's arc.
>>736119720bomberman act zero, prince of Persia warrior within and tomb raider angel of darkness. I know their is more but I don't care to look.
It's a good game
>>736117882>pretend
>>736125848I still don't understand how Shadowfags have gaslit themselves into thinking it's an improvement over Heroes when the entire game structure is based around the worst team's gimmick from Heroes.
>>736126382Enemies in general are less annoying than they were in Shadow. Guns are more fun than power characters, and the tanky enemies are less tanky to boot. There's also less stop-start bullshit and the true-neutral route is there if you're a get to the goal ring enjoyer.
>>736126552>There's also less stop-start bullshitYeah because the levels are filled with absolute nothingburger level design. You're either shooting things or going through automated "go fast" segments with no real obstacles. Expert Mode really highlights how poorly most of the levels operate when you just try to get to the goal ring, most of them weren't designed well in that way. And this is me playing Reloaded too which supposedly improves the game.
>>736117882I never did, it was always based
>>736117882I love this game.
>>736117882>THE ULTIMATE WEAPON THE GOVERNMENT G. U. N. AND A LITTLE GIRL DIES>the protagonist is a cartoon hedgehogIt's ultracringe.
>>736125143"Well that just happened" has never actually been said in any Marvel movie.
Wanna know real cringe. The movie The Crow
Some people just aren't media literate
>>736127734It's a stand-in for any dialogue that just is completely vapid because the audience has eyes and can see what happened onscreen.
>>736127890That's kino though
>>736129058>R*pe within the first 5 minutes of the film is basedRight
The missions where you have to kill every single enemy, collect every single item or destroy everything single target and you can't miss one suck dick! People are retroactively trying to pretend that this game is good because Shadow Generations brought back elements from this game.
