Explain the appeal of Sonic. All it is is going right and jumping. It's basically just pressing buttons.
Perhaps the same could be said for all platformers.

i think there are a few fundamental differences between sonic and say, mario games
>>321768250
>It's basically just pressing buttons
So is literally every game.
Are you ready for this?It was good for its time
>>321768415
one has branching paths
the other does not
>>321768250
Video games is pressing buttons.
>It's basically just pressing buttons
you fucking what
>>321768250
>just pressing buttons.
How else am I supposed to play? Use my mind to move Sonic?
>>321768250
Momentum, precision platforming, branching paths, and being stylish trying to go fast while doing all of the above along with a pretty memorable soundtrack.

>good for its time fallacy
Stop this meme fallacy. The fallacy you're fellatiously fellating is easily proven wrong.
>>321768250
>All it is is going right and jumping. It's basically just pressing buttons
That's Mario. In Sonic, just holding right will get you killed.

Then the 3D games went ahead and fucked all these up

Explain the appeal of FPS, all you do is run and shoot people.
Expain the appeal of RPGs, all it is is swinging a sword and casting magic.
Explain the appeal of video games. It's basically just pressing buttons.
Explain the appeal of living. It's basically just breathing and using your senses.

If the appeal to you is a furry character, you need to read comics and write fan fiction, not play games.

The classics
Phenomenal Physics
Phenomenal Level Design
Phenomenal Music
The objective is to clear the game but how the player does it is left up to him(whether he wants to time attack the thing or take his time and find hidden secret)
tl;dr if you don't like the classics at least you're a pleb
>>321769128
>starts off with a strawman and unreasonably mocking the other side of the argument
dropped
>>321769236
That's not the appeal to me. Just saying that RPGs aren't fantasy I don't think sonic is something so much more realistic either
>>321769014
>i can run and jump irl you fucking fatty, sonic isn't a fantasy to me
but can you propell yourself using pinball flippers?
can you get fire,water and electric shields around you?
can you turn into a super saiyan?
can you roll down a hill and not die?
can you run through a loop-de-loop?

>>321768250
We really need to get fresher pastas. These old ones just lack the impact anymore.
>>321768250
Motion and momentum.
