>>736252257He still means something...to me...I love you Sonic

>>736252536frontier's positive reception was heartbreaking. it's such a colossal piece of shit i can't believe sonic team thinks they're on the right track
>>736252536After Crossworlds if they don't stop putting pants on Amy and cover up Rouge's tits.
>>736252536originally after shadow the edgehog game. Then faith was restored with sonic mania, which I thought would usher in a sonic renaissance. And then we never got another, so I assume sonic team got butthurt someone else did a better job than them and shitcanned any mania sequels.
>>736252536Forces, but I hate to say it the First Movie got me back into Sonic, not because I thought it was good but because I thought his Spin attack looked cool
>>736252257I can't see this shot anymore without thinking about the shitpost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n__GJuqLb00
>>736252536Lost World. It was offensively directionless and a run button is counter intuitive for a Sonic games. Mania was good but that was nearly nine years ago.
>>736252257Creative, vibrant art direction?Incredible OSTs?Tight, fluid gameplay and thoughtful level design?Iconic designs for the main cast?Yeah, you're right OP. It did used to mean something. Then SA2 happened.
>>736252257yeah "avoid that autist"
>>736253537>Tight, fluid gameplay and thoughtful level design?
>>736253182Jobs to Surge Jobs to AmyJobs to a little boy with a sword Jobs to SonicMetal Jobber!
>>736253537t. Faggot.SA2 is absolutely an example of all of the above.
>>736252536The cutoff for me is Shadow the Hedgehog, not only did it shit on Sonic in general but also shat on the Adventure era, 06 came to finish the job and any damn zoomer who loves the 2005-2010 era of Sonic and LOVES that Sonic VA has no idea what the hell they're talking about at all.
>>736252257name it
I remember when my dad refused to buy me a sonic t shirt at shartmart I started screaming and punching myself in the head. Store security came over and held me down, I had 2 huge black boys sitting on my face (I was in heaven, and actually prematurely ejaculated into my pants by accident). Apparently it’s not cool to be 45 and still throwing tantrums. But the guy was cool about it and ended up letting me work in the back for the sonic t shirt, only took like 30 minutes. Thankfully I later got a job offer at Nintendo as lead story writer making $50,000 per year. I turned this job down however, but recieved a counter offer working directly on the newest sonic release for the Dreamcast. I’m still working for them and helped design every sonic game.
talk to the hand
>>736253182>I hate to say it the First Movie got me back into Sonic, not because I thought it was good but because I thought his Spin attack looked coolI have a bit of a soft spot for the first movie, and feel that's a little on the harsh side, but I also get where you're coming from. For me though, it was Ben Schwartz as Sonic. Roger's Sonic is so devoid of soul that movie Sonic finally felt like I was hearing the "real" Sonic again for the first time in years. Even when Roger is told to give a shit like in Frontiers I think Schwartz blows him out of the water as a Sonic VA, it's amazing how low he sets the bar for Sonic's voice.
>>736252536going from generations to a mario galaxy rip off was kinda something.
>>736253537nigga you have freaking mech battles, SA2 is peak sonic.
>>736253845Griffith (especially Black Knight/Unleashed) is so much better than Smith it isn't even funny. I like Drummond and he is better than Griffith but Griffith is Sonic to me.
>>736252536Boom was the first Sonic game I had zero interest in playing as a kid, and I was absolutely obsessed with Sonic. Forces and Frontiers have solidified my opinion that it's beyond saving at this point.
>>736252536Soemwhere between Forces and Frontier, the threads just died and the bluesky trannies posting comics moved in. Can't recover from that even if the games were to miraculously get good.
>>736255034>Shadow>Heroes>minor flaws>SA1>SA2>major flaws
>>736255257Sorry but fishing, emerald hunting, and hub worlds aren't fun
>>736255318Mental retardation.
>>736255420Yes, you do have to be retarded to think those things are fun.
>>736255034>boom>as a kid
>>736255527Yes, I was 15 years old when the game came out. Do the math, grandpa.
>>736252957should have stopped at gens then
>>736252536I never give up hope. I still believe that someday Sonic will rise again in a glorious soulstorm and return to what he once was. Fuck anybody who likes Mania or Frontiers.
>>736252536Lost WorldI was genuinely excited when I saw they were implementing parkour mechanics into the game.
>>736252536Never did, the classic games will exist forever and thus they're all I care about.
>>736255792Most Sonic fans like Mania and Frontiers, especially since the latter is why we got Shadow Gens in the first place with how it was well received, but continue being in your little bubble with your unpopular opinion.
>>736252536Gave up during wii u era then semi-back with mania then fully back with the movies and frontiers.
>>736255034>Sonic CD>Major flawsSonic 2 absolutely fucking obliterated any intelligent discourse on CD, it's the best 2D sonic game of all time and i'm tired of the world saying otherwise.
/v/ used to be my favorite place to talk Sonic but it went downhill very fast.
>>736252850Whether you think its good or not doesnt matter because the series NEEDED it to succeed and it did. Shadow Gens is fantastic and the next game is the longest dev time a Sonic game has ever gotten.
>>736252536Never gave up on it. >throughly enjoyed genesis sonic as a young kid>had fun with adventure era sonic through Heroes and Shadow >didn't get a 7th gen console until very late so basically skipped the boost era>still played Rush, Rush Adventure, and Generations 3DS>tuned back into sonic when Rangers got rumored>followed it into Frontiers and had a blast with it >watched the three movies and played Shadow Generations and am still excited Maybe I'm benefiting from unintentionally skipping the boost games but I've never been a doomer on Sonic. There's always been something fun to play or watch, and I am one of the couple of dozen of people who unironically loves Shadow 2005.
>>736256261>the best 2D sonic game of all timeNot possible with 3&K on the field
>>736252257He still has the better movies.
>>736254567Almost all of the characters need a recast, but Sonic needs it the most especially if we're keeping Ian as the lead writer. He said he writes Sonic with Roger's voice in mind which is why his characterization has been dogshit. We need a new VA that sounds like Junichi or Ryan and imo Brian Drummond is a good fit if he can still pull this voice off:https://youtu.be/YSHIpQQ1ujs
>>736255527Time passes bro. All zoomers are 20-26 now.
>>736256509CD gives you the freedom to play how you want in a sandbox, 3&K makes you go through the same scripted cutscenes and the level design constantly forcing you to its will, CD has none of that and is the peak of 2D sonic exploration games.
>>736254861The freaking mech battles in question
>>736256949>Posts the the he was talkingNTA but this just makes me want to replay SA2.
>>736257081>Posts the the he was talking
>>736256261>it's the best 2D sonic game of all time
>>736252850I wouldn't say so. Shadow Generations was solid, and the most polished overall 3D Sonic game since Adventure 2. What matters about Frontiers is that it justified growth within Sonic Team, which according to Iizuka is now quite big again after it had become almost nothing after Forces. It means that if they have the right creative pitch, they can match it with some awesome 3D gameplay. Unfortunately Ian Flynn and wokeshit threatens the creative soul of the franchise right now.
>>736256726Based CD chad speaks the truth. Replayed all four classics recently and CD was most kino by far.
>>736257289>I wouldn't say so. Shadow Generations was solid, and the most polished overall 3D Sonic game since Adventure 2.Where do you demented people keep coming from.
>>736252536While I have been disappointed, I've never truly given up on Sanic. I have come to terms with this being a series that will have many ups and downs.
>>736252536I saw the trainer for heros and that was it. Adventure 2 was the last good sonic game and I will die on this hill>b-but (insert post adv2 game here)Yeah that game sucks >but sa2 sucks Sa2 is amazing, FUCK you
>>736252727I'm thinking this is the thread theme!
>>736256726>CD gives you the freedom to play how you want in a sandboxThe sandbox:
>>736256261>the best 2D sonic game of all timeNot possible with Mania on the field
>>736258741add a bunch of bumpers everywhere and enemies on the edge of every cliff and it's accurate
