>longer story>much cooler story>level transitions which make the game and levels feel actually alive, like they're actually taking time in real time, and have actual progression>lot of replayability>power-ups, changing the gameplay>lot of shit to do>cool and epic bosses>michael jackson-like music>best peak fucking final boss ever a.k.a doomsday zone>multiple secrets, level mechanics, funny sprites, even win poses, etc plus multiple special and bonus stages>"uhh sonic 2 is the superior game because... ehh because.. uhhh"
>>11669787>sonic 2 is the superior gameAgree.
>>11669787I like 2 more because it's shorter and has cool zones like hill top with those rolling clouds.
>>11669791boring arcade messy gameyes, messy, because it's all a mess between 2 and cd, we got a HEAVILY modified version
>>11669787Story lol. In Sonic? Every time I play Sonic 3 it's like>turn on game>unskippable cutscene>one minute of gameplay>unskippable cutscene>quickly finish the level, go to boss>unskippable cutscene>samey hydroshitty zone>next act where you run away from water
>>11669787>michael jackson-like musicgay
1>&K>2>3
>>11669815Should have gotten someone cool like Queen or Aerosmith
>>11669815>>11669836jun senoue*nah the whole game screamed 90s pop, there is this actual thing with the theme of the game, so many squares, just like 90s or old 80s music videos
Sonic was sometimes good.
>>11669810>quickly finish the level, go to bosslmao you just described 1-2mins sonic 2 levels, while the later half of the game take 3 or 4 at most
>>11669787>lot of shit to do>level mechanicsToo much shit to do, level mechanics aren't always great and levels are a bit too long. Both are 10/10 games, but I like replaying Sonic 2 slightly more.
>>11669857also the bosses in 2 are all simplein sonic 3 thee are mini bosses (especifically designed) mini-bosses mechs, then eggman for act 2. gimmicks are more developed, with some having multiples phases, or a chase.....wait sonic 2 doesnt even have mini-bosses lmao sad, so you just beat a level and nothing happens)level mechanics aren't always greatwhen will fucks stop blaming others "x things is not good" instead of saying "I dont like them"variety is always welcomes. it is you fucks who prefer simpler games. that does not make them any less greater, ok the contrary, they offer more substance, you fucks just happen to not like it, but you never admit it, you always blame the productit is you, you just want a shorter, simpler game. and thats fine, but dont act all mighty and critic: it is not the game, it is youim tired of faggots who claim mechanics and gimmicks are bad, wtf. if not for them, you would just have to run and run and run, which it would be not so bad if we arleady didnt have previous game where you just had to do thatseriously what the fuck you wantand i dont get why it is not great. sonic is about going fast and you STILL go fast, so what the fuck, the pacing is very smooth>900 seconds cooldownFUCK it is the 3rd time WHY
>>11669836>Death Egg explode >Sonic freefalls to EarthI DON'T WANNA CLOOOOOOSE MY EYEEEEEESSSSS
>>11669787Sonic 2 has>better music>better art direction>better level design>better utilization of speed and physics>tighter gameplayIn other words>doesn't rely on level design gimmicks like stupid ghosts, pressing up/down on boring levers, power ups, hold right to get through sequence>doesn't kill all enjoyment of speed with constant pushblocks and obstacles>no mickey mouse redesign for the spritesSonic 2 is just a purer, more tightly designed game. It's the literal peak of Sonic as a concept which is why 3&K had to start relying on gimmicks to shake up the formula. There was nowhere logical to go after the perfection of 2.
>>11669895>doesn't rely on level design gimmicks like stupid ghosts, pressing up/down on boring levers, power ups, hold right to get through sequenceso you just want to run. got it. i now understand why hold-right-to-win boost shit won lol>doesn't kill all enjoyment of speed with constant pushblocks and obstaclesso you want level cleared in 2 mins. got it.lmao already said that to the other anon, the game is stil fast and smooth. chemical plant?? you got hidrocity. and thats only one. all other sonic 2 stages are logical obstacles-filled stagesenough, read enough: you faggots just want easy pissy games. it really is just that. you just want to go straight, if for mere devs' sadism a block gets in your way, then the game is evil. that's your faggots logic. you do not want obstacles, obstacles are evil. you do not want challenge. you just want running simulators>no mickey mouse redesign for the spritesL FUCKING MAOwas about to quote this shit ass kinder *****argument**** I see all the time, but 900 cooldown made me refresh the page so I didn't post, didn't think it was needed... lmao
>>11669910>you got hidrocity.LMAO *runs in a straight line, goes up a semi-loop and gets dumped onto LE PILLAR ELEVATOR to sit and wait until you can get onto the next straight line* *also the stupid slide segments* *also the underwater floating sections*And that's why Sonic 3 is inferior. The gimmicks are fucking shit. Levels like Chemical Plant and Aquatic Ruin are hugely superior. And no, Sonic 3 is the one with the "run in a straight line" problem. Sonic 2 has meaningful gameplay elements which reward skillful speed.
>>11669935Forgot my pic because it's shit!!!!!!!!!
>>11669935>>11669938>getting filtered this hard by obstaclesyeah i can see why you prefer 2, it's more appropriate for your low IQ
>stands on a slow moving pillar doing absolutely nothing a dozen times in a levelWow high IQ gameplay
Deranged autists in a sonic thread, you love to see it.
>visuals3&K > 1 > 2>music3&K > 1 > 2>platforming3&K > 1 > 2>special stages3&K > 2 > 1decisive 3&K victory
>>11669787I prefer the REAL Sonic 2 not really this shit sucks to play but the concept is fun
>>11669787Why is it that I MUST pick one and hate the other again?
>>11670390>special stages>2 > 1eew. 1's has AURA
Less... is more.
>>11669895>"Sonic 2 has better art direction">posts an example of Sonic 3 having better art directionWhat a strange post
>>11670629Doctor here. Based on the information in your post, your diagnosis is crippling autism.
>>116704801's are just fucking cancer to go through, especially because it's basically random at what angle you'll jump at. 2 and 3 are much more skill-based
>>11670471Gen Z are adults no time to take in all
>>11669787In Sonic 3K all the levels feel the same, except for the shitty levels of which there's quite a few: Marble Garden, Carnival Night, Launch Base and Sandopolis are just bad.Meanwhile, every level in Sonic 2 feels unique.
>>11670471idk ask those who shit on 3
>>116697901>2>CD>3>&K
>>11669895>>11670629Sonic's sprite in 3 is so disgusting. Even after all these years I have a visceral reaction looking at it. What were they thinking?
>>11670880Funny how everyone thought the Sonic 3 sprite was cooler back in the insonicnia days. Must've been the meaner, smaller pupils.
>>11670884It is cooler
>>11670636>Doctor here
>>11670879Sonic 1 truly is the best.
>>11670760Lies
>>11670907Based
>>11670907OnicHe Hedgehog
>>11670985He really is a hedgehog
>>11670760>Marble GardenIts not amazing, but I don't hate it either.>Carnival NightAct 1 is fine. Act 2 does drag a bit, and the water sections felt like pointless padding.>Launch BaseI have no problems with this level, besides maybe there being too many bosses in act 2, especially if playing S3 alone.>SandopolisAct 1 is peak. Act 2 does drag a little, but I enjoy it.
>>11669895I prefer the face of sonic 1/2, but prefer the hands/shoes of 3&k.
Sonic 3 is bad because of pedo association
>>11671273what pedo?
>>11671553el ayuwoki
>>11669787I don't like S3 because they changed his sprite and made him look all fucky.
>>11671273MJ isn't a pedo. He was framed by hollywood
Sonic 2 had those half-pipe Special Stages.Those were cool as shit. Used to play those with my brother.Blue Spheres is like a tech demo someone would make. Really annoying solving the puzzle of looping some rings oh you collected one by accident? Sucks to be you.
>>11670727>especially because it's basically random at what angle you'll jump atthis is a game series that revolves around jumping off walls at angles, you should be able to get a grip on it
>>11671938>jumping off walls at angles? anon this is sonic, not mega man
>>11669787Is this a reverse troll or did OP fail elementary school and got the arrow backwards
>>11669787Babby's first 3d chess bait
>>11671273So is Akira Toriyama and the Kenshin guy
>>11672016what is pinball and ball sonic dumbass
>>11672016>run up quarter pipe >now running along wall>jump adjacent
>>11672318>>11671273>BIG ONION MOUTHS AAAAAAAHHHyou guys are dumb
>>11672359>pinballpinballs don't jump, they don't fly through the air, they don't have agency.Dumbass.
>>11669787my favorite 2d sonic is CD with the JP sound track of course. i especially like that each boss is a different challenge. and it clearly has yhe best special stages
>>11669787>"uhh sonic 2 is the superior game because... ehh because.. uhhh"Soul, my little zoom zoom. Soul.
>>11669787Sonic 3 looks cross eyed D:
>>11671273>Thinking MJ was a pedo in the big 2025Retarded
I like both and don't need to rank them in order to feel smug and superior to random retards online.
>>11670471Pick a side fence shitter.
>>11670760>>11671253My main issue with Carnival Night is that act 2 still takes too long even if you are speeding through it. I always get to Robotnik around 8 minutes. That never happens anywhere else. It's the only level where I have run out of time a few times in the past.
>>11669787Sonic 2 isn't objectively better than Sonic 3 in my eyes... but I like it more. It being smaller, shorter, quicker... that makes it more pick up and play to me, more arcade like in a way, and I find those things that make it "lesser" or "inferior" to Sonic 3 actually charming. I personally found that Sonic 3's levels went on for too long more often than not, that just felt more bloated to me......it's the same reason I prefer the Master System titles over the Mega Drive ones, but I digress.
>>11673351soul? what fucking soul?? it was war in sega, so fucking bad they were divided, and what came out was 60% of what sonic 2 was truly going to be
>>11669787Sonic 2 is the better game because it came with our Genesis and was probably my first video game ever.
>>11674020Carnival Night Act 2 is really annoying. It doesn't help that it sounds like the music is making fun of you.
>>11674020>>11674594
>>11674418>Sonic 3's levels went on for too long more often than not, that just felt more bloated to me...I agree, anon
MJ music isn't allowed anymore
Sonic 2 peaked at the second level while in sonic 3 they not only grasped sonic but came up with more stuff, poor contrarian take.
>>11675762>Sonic 2 peaked at the second levelChemical Plant is for redditors
>>11675708>musicHow does a pedo who cannot play a single instrument nor read music write composition for a video game?
>>11671721Blue Spheres is literally a revised version of that obscure Sonic Crackers puzzle game.
