The final gaming red pill is realizing that the majority of Sonic's games were actually good.
After the genesis, there's maybe 3 decent sonic games. And decent is a stretch.
>>746429620seems you're still bluepilled
>>746430102Sonic is blue, so being bluepilled about Sonic is good actually.
>>746430158list of other things that are blue like sonic- water- sky- ice- blue drinks- cold stuff- blockbuster video
- fireworks, sometimes
>>746431728>list of other things that are blue like sonic>waterRetard
ITT: things that are blue
>>746431897why don't you tell everyone what colour water is then, if you're so smart
>>746430158isn't sonic's favorite color red
>>746432068no that's the other sonic, his name is knuckles
>>746429570yes, in general people who aren't segapilled are subhuman and live in a manufactured alternate reality, living on a diet of subpar nintendo and disney products
>Anti-Sonicfags
>>746429570Sonic is fundamentally flawed.>platformer about running fast on the ground>health system where having 100 rings or 1 makes zero difference, you are effectively immortal as long as you have 1 ring>instead of solving these fundamental design issues, 3D Sonic just added more gimmicksSuper Mario Bros' health system was perfectly fine but Super Mario 64 still changed it because it fit the new gameplay better. For whatever reason the Sonic devs have refused to ever meaningfully innovate beyond the original game.
>>746431728Blockbuster also has a nostalgic bias like Sonic
>brings up mario out of nowhere
>>746431897ocean seems pretty blue
>>746432804don't most modern Sonics only detract 20 rings when you take damage now?
>>746432804I like the ring system. Makes the game easy to beat if you keep grabbing the safety ring, but encourages you to not do this and instead go fast for >fun
>>746433953You could bring up plenty of other franchises, Mario is just the most easily comparable to Sonic because they're both established platforming franchises with 2D and 3D sub-series. Mario is certainly not immune to making mistakes but it nailed the fundamentals.>>746434042All the more reason the system doesn't work.>>746434650>but encourages you to not do thisNo?
>>746429570maybe for the ones up to and including SA2
>>746435037You need a stinky hundo for a 1up or half of that for a chaos emerald attempt.
>>746434650I'll say it's good more so because getting a lot of rings and keeping them accesses the more useful mechanics of the game (ie. The super forms and extra lives)making it easy enough for beginners, while still providing a challenge to more advanced players who are willing to learn the game more and become stronger/safer because of it.
>>746429570The Advance and Rush games are kino but non-Sonic fans just ignore them entirely and act like 06 and Shadow is all there was during that period
>>746433953
I like Unleashed
>>746429570This is the biggest fucking cope ever. Sonic 1, 2 and 3 & Knuckles were good. CD was fine.Adventure 1 was kinda poo, Adventure 2 was good. I heard that sonic unleased was aight.Other than that, they are all kind of same-y or bad.
>>746429570Bit early in the day to be lying innit
>>746437417Wait have you even played most of them?
>>746436341unleashed is that last sonic game that actually felt like it was made by a AAA company
>>746438017Most of the sonic franchise? Fuck no. Almost all of the 2D sonic games are derivatives of the old formula, and I would rather take a nap.
>>746436076bubsy's better than both fuck all of you
>>746429570As someone who has played entirely too many of these jank pieces of shit, no. Fuck you, Sonic games are trash.
>>74643395364 glazers are especially annoying, i noticed
>>746432804the games are for speedrunning. the real damage when you get hit is losing a few seconds on the timer. also it's way easier to lose your last ring when you only have one.
>>746432028You are not allowed to post ITT unless your theme is Yotsuba B
>>746432293>lol sonic sucks you hold right to win>lol sonic sucks because you can't hold right to winYou just can't win with people who have Sonic Derangement Syndrome
I want to FUCK Sonic's mom.

>>746429570return the happy meal
>>746438121I honestly think if there were pre-rendered cutscenes in Frontiers, people's opinions would've changed on itPlacebo effect, maybe.
>>746429570soul
>>746433953Oh well...
>>746441549>playing Sonic and not trying to go fastHow embarrassing.
>>746429570The ultimate redpill.No-one care about the games They just want to fuck hot Mobians
>>746448405It was a cheap minutes of entertainment but hell, I really enjoyed it.I really miss those times when things were fun just the sake of it
>>746448621no, i like the games and the hot chicks.
>>746448621I like the games. But I ALSO want to fuck the hot Mobians.
>>746448612>playing a speed-based platformerPlay a genre that isn't inherently trash.
>>746448875See.It was that easy.No-one can resist those 3ft tall eye candies.
>>746448735is that Aron on her forehead?
>>746448964Sounds like little baby diaper-shitting whining to me.
>>746448735Cute woof. >>746449005Maybe we're all just brainwashed or something, but yes, there is something about mobians that gets a nigga acting the fuck up.
>>746449005tits too small
>>746449005>>746449283they are all very cute sluts
>>746449423Are you sure?Btw this are canon breast size
>>746449506perfect, i want to suck them
>>746429620Fpbp
>>746429570The series died with Heroes, never forget this
>>746429570Sonic honestly sucksThe Genesis games have bullshit enemy placement and they take 5 hours to complete, I can complete Sonic 2 in a day, paying 29.99$ for 10 hours of a crappy game series? No thanksId rather buy Witcher 3 or some other game that is better than Sonic (everything)Fuck I regret buying Forces, Frontiers and CrossworldsIGN was right, Sonic was never goodI have more fun playing SMB and SMB3, and that's on the fucking NES
>>746448405i played the SHIT out of the green one and the first person Spyro handheld since it's all i was allowed to bring to school.>>746449283yeah, i don't know how sega did it but there's something about the proportions that just activates the neurons in some human men.
>>746429570No they weren't
>>746450279reed >>746430102
>>746429570I never really liked it. I'm a Crash and Mario chud.
>>746450229>i don't know how sega did it but there's something about the proportions that just activates the neurons in some human men.most men like girls shorter than them, that plus the shortstack proportions of some makes dick the hard dick
>>746451139Crash are cool but Mario?
The best Sonic games were those LCD games that came with the Happy Meals
>>746452598The tails skypatrol was fun.I loved mine.
>>746452126>Muhrio...
>>746448621I feel lucky that Sonic didn’t turn me into a furry
>>746453184Ahhhh yes you can enjoy full heartedly the games meant for you.Don't forget to dial-8 when you leave this thread.
>>746453184The fact that you needed to quote the post with the sexy Lanolin pinup and say that is kind of a hint dude
>>746452963Nightmare fuel
>>746453628they all need to be bred
the real tvuke is that only the racing games are good because you can ignore the fur faggotry and just use it as cope that nitro fueled will never come to PC
>>746453949I believe you are in the wrong neighborhood.
>>746437417>CD was fine>I heard that sonic unleased was aight.Brilliant self-report. These games were ass and only get praise for their soundtracks and aesthetics. If you don't know anything about Sonic games then why join the conversation
>>746455331Absolutely filtered. CD is good and it gets even better with any mod that removes the time travel transitions.
>>746455464If it needs a mod to be good then what does that tell you retard
>>746455331Faggot detected.
I don't like the 2-d sonic games. The levels are so tall that I feel like I'm missing out but at the same time I just hold forward with some jumps and clear the few levels I tried with ease.
>>746455634can you read english?
the best sonic game isn't even about sonic, it's shadow generations. and this is objrctively correct. nothing else comes close enough. I have played every game.
>>746457467It's just Frontiers again and I'm tired of everyone pretending it's somehow any better or worse between the two.
>>746457562It's Frontiers again with less amateurish jank and 2/3rds of the bloat cut out, which does it make it the better experience between the two.
>>746429570This but the opposite
>nobody's posted it yetDelete the entire board. https://youtu.be/m7Q0_DgXHG0
>>746458234rogue and emmy tennis

>>746429620Adventure 1 and 2, and mania
>>746432293Yes Marble and Labyrinth Zone were shit
>>746457562except it controls even better, and the open world area is designed way better, and the actual stages are incomparable to frontiers "stages" because shadow's are such high quality it literally shits on every boost stage from any other game. and he has cool and polished mechanics.

He deserves better.
>the last Sonic game to cross 100k sales on release week in Japan
>>746466625I should really play these games one of these days
>>746439845i agree, 64 fags are extremely annoying. they'll pretend like sonic adventure is the worst 3D platformer ever made but happily look over the flaws of super mario 64 and call it a "timeless masterpiece" even in 2026
>>746429570The Sonic Content in Fortnite is really fun tbqh
>>746466625makes sense considering how it was the last sonic game designed with a japanese audience in mindeverything from SA2 onward is purely pandering towards westerners
>>746465551It was ass
>>746436076Mario exists because of PopeyeDonkey Kong exists because of King Kong/Bluto

>>746448621That is a busty Sheep! ZAMN!
>>746451139Congrats on getting in Fortnite
>>746429570I like Sonic but hate the majority of his games. Sonic with Mario gameplay would have been a lot better since Sonic is cute.
>>746452126Maria…
>>746429570reminder that Ryan Drummond got paid more for voicing Sonic in a Mcdonald's commercial than he did for any of the games he voiced sonic in

>>746429570GET HAPPY
>>746469834Is this real
>>746470095>and I don't know how to explain to her that it's immoral garbage without her disowning me.because maybe it isnt and thats just your opinion?
>>746429570>>746471694i would kill to have the raw files of this animation

>>746472754I'm blue daba diba
>>746429570I'd say the majority are at least decent. Sonic has some bangers and a few shit games but a lot of them are just alright. Sonic has just struggled in 3D so sometimes it works, and some times it doesn't. Doesn't help that SEGA is also just a mess.
Does Blaze wear pants or not
>>746473807she probably does, as much as it would be extremely hot if she didnt.
>>746429570>>746471694I'M LOVIN' IT
>>746463779unleashed is a bad game with some decent sections. Calling it amazing means your gaming taste is highly suspect
God sonic unleashed was so good
>>746473807the real question is are those white leggings or a white bodysuit ?
>>746432028My peanus weanus
>>746470007https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df5HN9eRWZ8that sonic cd remix album he sang on is so fucking good
>>746429570The only downright horrible ones I've played are sonic 4, 3D Blast, and Labyrinth
>>746477735I've never understood the hate for Labyrinth. It's Kirby's Dream Course but Sonic, though I can understand how that puts some people off when they expect a Sonic game. That said, Sonic 4 (specifically episode 1, not 2) is definitely one I agree with. But I would also put Forces, Lost World, and maybe like Team Sonic Racing up there among the worst. 3D Blast is just Flicky, and Flicky's a'ight.
>>746458505The Sonic Adventure games are trash though and Mania is just an officialized fangame.
>>746478584
>>746478584hi amy!
>>746478647 >>746478656Yes, the only good true Sonic games are Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 (the full version) and Sonic CD.
>>746429570I, too, am an autistic furry.
Real redpill: Mania was Sonic's last chance to become great again, and they fumbled it beyond repair. If you think Forces, Frontiers or Superstars are good games, you are legitimately the reason why Sonic is a hollow husk of what he used to be.If you think the movies doing good or that racing game shamelessly whoring itself out to other characters is saving the franchise, you really need to reconsider things.
>>746478449It's Kirby's Dream Course but SonicNo it's not.
>>746479416It kinda is, though.
>>746479119>that racing game shamelessly whoring itself out to other charactersNo one ever said this about Transformed. No one even says this about Mario Kart. You faggots are just mad that it's doing well.
>>746470095congrats, you're the kind of retard who can't tell real and ai art aparthttps://x.com/KaiYuki04/status/2075608985328349384
>>746480851NTA but it in general is getting good enough that you can easily just make it impossible to tell
>>746479720>Transformed SEGA related characters, and a few extras based on certain scenarios (SEGA-published games, funding, etc.). Nowhere near the same thing.>Mario KartMany people do not want Mario Kart to become Smash Kart. They call that out all the time. The issue is that they don't lean on other Mario-adjacent series like DK/DKC, Wario and Yoshi.>You faggots are just mad that it's doing well.Not at all. A racing game cannot hold an IP that's primarily a platformer with pinball physics. Sonic needs a great action/platformer game to sustain itself, not spin-offs.
>>746480903Even if you can't tell for sure if the art is manmade or generated (which shouldn't be the case here, AI is NOT good at making many distinct characters at once and the character outlines in the background would be mega fucked too), it takes exactly three mouse clicks to find the original art. Just 5 seconds of searching could have prevented anon from chimping out and making himself look like a dumbass. Idiots who accuse real art of being slop are on even lower level than scammers who pass off slop as manmade art. At least the latter are fully cognizant of what they are doing.
>>746481310>AI is NOT good at making many distinct characters at once and the character outlines in the background would be mega fucked tooactually thats possible, just not on a raw generation, with inpainting and shit is very doable, just annoying.>it takes exactly three mouse clicks to find the original art. Just 5 seconds of searching could have prevented anon from chimping out and making himself look like a dumbass.for most pics yeah, but some actual art just dont have sources anymore.
>>746481353>actually thats possible, just not on a raw generation, with inpainting and shit is very doable, just annoying.at which point it's not fully AI-generated and requires one to put some actual effort in>for most pics yeah, but some actual art just dont have sources anymore.Which would be rare, but still not a good enough reason to go off half-cocked on what might as well be real art.
>>746481550>at which point it's not fully AI-generated and requires one to put some actual effort ini mean, i guess? its mostly just the AI itself doing stuff tho.>Which would be rare, but still not a good enough reason to go off half-cocked on what might as well be real art.the average person is extremely lazy
>>746472453damn that is a crazy hot slutty lookalike, i won't even pay too much attention to the weird ass dark orange eyes. very sexy, like the earrings
THIS IS THE WORST SONIC VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTIONhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFWiEoszKw8Also I have never played a Sonic game, genuinely which ones should I try out?
>>746481869you prefer 2d or 3d?
>>746429570Sonic's popularity resurgence is weird to me. The movies aren't good. The cartoon isn't that good. His new games are mid at best and he's been at a consistent downwards trajectory in quality. His Adventure games are good, and I suppose it attracts Gen Z edgelords. The 2yk revival is all he has going for him
>>746481901Either is fineColors looked pretty cool
>>746481952eh its alright, i personally prefer SA2 with mods, sa1 is also nice, 1, 2 and 3&knuckles are good, so is mania.I like heroes too as janky as it is.
If you were a Sonic character, what species would you be and what color?
>>746429570
>>746481869I like that one.
I had more fun with panic rather than frontiers, stop being brand faggots.
>>746484337yeah YOU would
>>746484265This is me but with PS2 game Vexx
>>746484348
>>746458589>it literally shits on every boost stage from any other gameThis game shipped with Sonic Generations, and when you look at Shadow's boost gameplay, it doesn't take much effort to see how downgraded it is compared to it's older cousin, there's no reason to be disingenuous.
>>746481869Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles for the 2D games. Adventure 2 for the 3D ones.
>>746481869this person is insufferable
So where does the hate boner for Sonic come from? Is it just tendies? The series being associated with autism? Or does it just spiritually filter certain people like JRPGs and Metal Gear?
>>746432804While this is true, Sonic frontiers did change how the ring system works, and they will adjust them again in the next game. It only took them 30 years, but they changed
>>746432804>health system where having 100 rings or 1 makes zero difference, you are effectively immortal as long as you have 1 ringYou're effectively immortal in most games as long as you have enough health.
>>746429570Why is there only 5 fives to play on console? There's so many Sonic games that still need ports. Is sega retarded?
>>746487057A mix of tendies and people who still think Sonic make bad games
>>746432804The ring rule is fine. It means it isn't about collecting to retain a score for the end of the level, unless you're really good, but it's a safeguard system so you don't just die running into things constantly. You're rewarded when running forward by trails of rings that you recover with, and then you get 1 additional chance any time you pick up correctly on the level design after bumping into something.An issue I have though is the first playthrough and the scoring system. Finishing a Sonic game and then going back to get S-ranks in levels is the entirety of what makes any modern Sonic feel worth playing to me, but when you're sightreading the level and making mistakes, getting C, B or D on your first runs feels like a slap in the face.It would be better if these games had a story mode where there's a simpler ranking system that basically goes "Thumbs up!" or "thumbs down" depending on your performance, and then as soon as you replay them it has the score instead. Or it recorded the score but doesn't show it the first time.
>>746487762Git gud.
>>746487057It's a lot of people just going along with what they've heard without ever engaging with the subject. When something becomes acceptable to shit on people really don't want it to stop being okay to degrade it.
>>746429570I love Heroes and think it's a great game and i'm not even going to pretend otherwise.
that'd the gay redpill thothe good one is that all sonic games are mid
>>746429570Should I get mcdonalds breakfast? Or just eat a banana?
>>746490843Banana.
>>746490843>mcdonalds breakfastAn abominable concept.
>not a single mention of Sonic RidersIt's the best racing spin-off, and i would say it's underrated
>>746429570Having played most of Sonic recently (still have to play SxSG), 90s games are mostly indeed good aside from a couple of stinkers on GG, Nipples Chaotix being a rushjob for a stillborn addon and SegaSonic being kinda shitty too. CD and 3&Nipples are GOATs and SA1 was a good 3D transition.00s is a mixed bag and is heavily carried by Dimps titles. It's the start of consistently shit output from Sonic Team starting with Heroes, which really just needed an another year of development. Same with 06. Dogshit fanfic-tier plot aside, the main problem is that they peddled an alpha build as a finished product. Unleashed would be certified 10/10 kino, if they balanced the Werehog and the day stages. The former were too fucking long and had you locked to fight like same three types of goblins over and over again.10s started off good with Colors and Gens (plus their handheld counterparts) suddenly being actually good games from ST (le funny maymays from Pontaff aside), but shat the bed with LW being an incredibly lame attempt at aping Ur Mr Gay. Farces is like Sanic Team was trying to make a shit game with no redeeming qualities on purpose. CD-i Zelda-tier, laughably bad.
>>746493750Frontiers is like they were trying to one-up Forces in terms of being dogshit. Awful "open zones" with a bland, soulless art direction, rails being sloppily pasted all over them to the point of parody, so you could grind on them and collect stuff for the 9000th time, the same three types of puzzles (one of them lifted from Boom Wii U), press X to Jason combat, awful story, awful lore, awful dialogue (makes me want to miss Pontaff of all people which is an achievement on its own), awful everything. Sage has no character development and is a Steven Universe-tier character as a whole. IDW shitstains should be banned from writing anything. I don't deny that this game is saved the franchise. Saved it from being good ever again, that is.I believe the only thing people like Turdtiers is because it's open world. There. That's it. If Forces was open world, it would "save the franchise" too.SLURPerSHARTS manages to shit the bed in every conceivable way: shit level design, bosses are AIDS in video game form, they managed to fuck up even something simple as dialogueless Genesis-style story with Trip doing nothing and becoming a good girl after crying. 3&K/TT story if it was written by a Xitter tranny.SDT looks like shit and I'm not even saying it's about the gwaphix, the presentation is decent actually. CrossWorlds is barely even a Sonic game, it's crossover shit. Thinking crossover cartshit is a proof of the franchise being good again is telling.tl;dr: Sanic used to be good and sonicfags turned into exactly the same people as pokefags with nu-Pokemon with openly defending dogshit, encouraging ST and their shitmaker status. Depressing, really.
>>746492642Sonic riders introduced wave, so I fuck with it
>>746492642I have NEVER liked how those games control.
>>746496216I played the original Sonic Riders on a laptop using the keyboardIt controled perfectly fine for meIt was an old laptop with intel pentium dual-core CPU and 2GBs of ram and it ran with very minimal lag, that's how good game optimisation used to be.
>>746493750>>746494626This fanart is so dumb, in the ending animation in Sonic CD he taunts a bunch egg robos while fighting them by sticking out his tongue, it's the same snarky badass hedgehog character in both the games and cartoons.But obviously in the games eggman is an actual threat so Sonic can't afford to be snarky and carefree all the time in there.
>>746466625Sonic was never popular is Japan, this metric is useless
>>746487057Tendies and reputation combined with the fact that modern normies are herd followers. Even if they do attempt to break the conditioning by actually playing a Sonic game, they don't fall into a bland slop mold of most modern games so they will likely reject them based on the fact that it doesn't play like Mario without going beyond that.
>>746496216Omg Amy is doing the Roll pose!
>>746494626I’m always happy to shit on SuperMid, don’t open this or you’ll get nightmares.

>>746463846Hi Dave
>>746484265Black Knight is the only one that belongs there, alongside Heroes.
>>746492642I'd argue that the only bad racing spinoffs are Drift 1 and Team Sonic Racing. And I guess Free Riders but I haven't actually played it. I just know it apparently doesn't function. I've had my fun with all of the others.
>>746500273Probably means you could see her ass from the other side.
They need to make Sonic even more Dragon Ball and people will buy it.

>>746463846Robotnik Mean Bean Machine is genuinely one of the best Sonic games ever made and it's just Puyo Puyo with AoSTH characters in it. Sonic Spinball is also cool tho.
>>746469834Nicholas Kole and his consequences have been a disaster for Crash Bandicoot's art direction.
>>746449506These are still only the size of mini watermelons
>>746509016I really wish they would get rid of him and his terrible art style. It ruined spyro first then infected crash and probably won't go away any time soon
>>746448621What is it with artists and their arbitrary addition of tan bellies to the female characters. Its either they dont have one canonically but fan art adds them, or they have a Canon pattern but then fan art ignores it and gives them a solid color body. Same goes with colored genitals and nipples, shit looks retarded, keep them brown or pink.
>>746448621>>746448875Whats a mobian? All I see is a female furry from Sonic? Is this some autistic Fandom term or something?
>>746508810>Every non-PS platform had its own character. TF2 for PC, Miis for Nintendo systems, Xbox Live avatars for 360.There you go. There was a reason behind it.>citation neededTurns out it was a sponsorship on SEGA's end, so you get that one, and even then, they're familiar with real-life racing with their work with Daytona, which I'm surprised they didn't bring in with that title.My point still stands, Sonic needs a solid mainline title to get back into the game, supplemental games won't do it.
>>746509851>some autistic Fandom term or something?Pretty much. Archie called them that before the adventure games came out and showed sonic and friends are just on earth.
>>746509851Sega literally has not coined a name for the animal people in 35 years, so people still use the Archie term.
