Your opinion on Sonic CD
>>330721027
A horrible blending of 2 good ideas.
There's no reason to have pushed slow exploration, high speed time travels and road blocks in a series known for its momentum based platforming
>>330722153
you'd still buy it anyway
>>330721027
the music on the JP/Eu version is fucking amazing

I'd love it more if travelling between worlds wasn't difficult as fuck. It's really frustrating when I hit a warp post but there's nowhere near it where I can build enough speed to make the jump.

Retard detected. Asshole.
Great graphics, what every Sonic game should strive to be
Good to play if you ignore the time travel mechanic
Kind of a confusing clusterfuck when you forget to avoid it
Neat but impractical to explore if you go all the way with the time travel mechanic
Both soundtracks are good for their own reasons, shut the fuck up about the US vs JP thing
Shitty bosses
Taxman re-release is GOAT version
An example of a horrible execution of what could have been good ideas.
There's no real reason to explore any of the stages, especially when there's a 10 minute time limit. Exploring is pretty awful as backtracking as Sonic is kind of annoying. Especially with how some of the levels are laid out making it an extreme chore.
The time traveling gimmick is absolutely useless. You're limited to only a handful of attempts of going back and forth in time, and unless you really know the game beforehand, you're struggling between going too fast because you don't want to risk losing the one Past sign you picked up, or going too slow because now the risk of losing the sign is real once activated. Not to mention that the level design doesn't really give you a decent number of spots to warp (See Wacky Workbench).
Boss fights are also completely shit.
Good music and nice graphics though.
>still no S1 2 and 3&K released outside of mobile

Blame Nintendo
Awesome soundtrack (both versions) but it's the rejected bastard remains of Sonic 2 and boy does it show
>>330721027
The best Sonic game and one of the most brilliantly designed games ever made. All these different gameplay mechanics, and it just works, and works beautifully.
>>330724823
You are literally me.
>>330721027
Underrated level design
>>330724823
Here's the problem: you're playing it like a normal Sonic game. CD's all about going to the past and finding the machine that spawns robots, and they make that harder and harder as the game goes on. If you're looking to play the special stages, the game is far more friendly towards collecting 50 rings for that purpose than the more linear Genesis Sonics, especially sine time travel practically spawns more rings. Consistent speed isn't simply given to you outside Stardust Speedway due to the Time Travel, so it takes a level of skill and theory-crafting to maintain that speed. The levels are perfectly designed around finding such routes for consistent speed, not unlike trying to set up a long combo in Tony Hawk.
Good game with an interesting if flawed time travel gimmick. Has two stellar soundtracks.

Better than Sonic 2, that's for sure.

That makes it the best Sonic game period
>>330724979
Sonic 1, 2, and 3K are all on Steam.
I understand it has its flaws, but it's still my favorite. The time travel mechanic just does it for me.

God damn the color schemes leave me breathless even to this day. Also the NA soundtrack and past themes are GOAT.
>>330722742
USA soundtrack is underrated. Listen to Stardust Speedway good future.
>>330723201
>what every Sonic game should strive to be
>all those complaints
The only problem with the USA soundtrack is that the JP Past music was left in and loses consistency.
Wasn't that because the Past music was in a different format?
>>330728347
Yeah, the Past music is not CD audio, but midi, basically, that's why they couldn't change it.
>>330728431
Bummer, what could have been the NA past music will nag me forever.
>>330727756
The past themes are from the jap version. For the full experience, play the jap version.
>>330729117
Or the EU version
>>330729117
For the full experience, play the HD version. It has both soundtracks, and JP is default.
>>330729408
That's what I have. It was on sale a few weeks ago.
>>330727997
>>330722742
Was there any particular reason as to why they localized it with a new soundtrack? I can understand changing the opening song, by why all of the CD audio tracks?
>>330721027
It was made by the Japanese which is why it is inferior to Sonic 2 and 3&K
>>330724979
Why the fuck aren't the Sonic 1 and 2 remakes on the Wii U eshop? Do they not want money?
