Games /v/ tricked you into buying GO
It plays like shut
I never understood Sonic games like this. The physics and handling makes you want to go fast, but the divergent level design and meticulous controls make me want to slow down.
End result is being annoyed when trying to go fast, and feeling underwhelmed when taking it slow.
And the coins makes no fucking sense as a source of life. You get hit? Just pick them the fuck up, who gives a shit?

Faggot main character for faggots to play as.
indie hipster garbage

>The physics and handling makes you want to go fast, but the divergent level design and meticulous controls make me want to slow down.
That's part of the appeal, Anon. It offers replayability. Not to mention certain areas are basically inaccessible unless you're going fast - unless you're playing with Tails.
>>336545595
OP here, i want to agree. At first i hated SOTC but ended up loving it once i got used to the controls. Great atmosphere, designs, and boss fights. Pretty simple game and clunky but it has a good creepy vibes around it
>>336545690
My problem stems when its time to play as chubby sonic. Modern sonic can go fast as fuck with minimal interruptions, but chubby sonic is bogged down with garbage controls and shitty level design that punishes you for going fast. If it wasnt for the Sonic Unleashed mod, I wouldve refunded this game. Now theres a Sonic game that plays well to its strengths, which is, oh right, FUCKING SPEED
>>336545874
Sonic Generations has really weak stage design for Classic Sonic, and he controls like a flying brick (both Sonics).
this is in stark contrast to Sonic on the Genesis, who is generally pretty controllable and had pretty good stage designs to run around in
and even in contrast to Sonic in SA1/2, who had almost too sensitive controls and satisfying stages (but they're really fucking linear, especially SA2, SA1 stages at least loop back inward on themselves a lot, so you can get big-ass skips and shit)
really, the best thing about Generations is the fact that you can install the Unleashed Project mod, nearly all of the Unleashed day stages are fucking great
>>336545510
Generations is so fucking shit, I don't get why people say it's good. It has 06 tier bugs where you just fall through the floor.
>>336545690
The way rings work really makes sense in the original Sonic only, where you need to bring 50 of them to the end of a level to access special stages for the good ending or to earn continues, it can actually be somewhat difficult to get 100 rings for an extra life, and there aren't all that many rings in a level compared to later games.
In later games it feels like "Welp, the way rings work is part of Sonic's identity, we can't change it even if the game would benefit".
I just wasn't getting as absorbed as /v/ led me to believe I would be. I stopped playing after about 4 hours. It's not even the difficulty that gets to me, I just couldn't get invested in the world. Plus, the style of gameplay didn't really gel with me. Is something wrong with me?
>>336546410
I only played the old sonics like once each and remember hating them to since they were slow as shit. I became a sonic fan at the turn of the century, with sonic adventure and heroes. I got shadow and was disappointed and by the time sonic 2006 came out I stopped caring, apparently that game was a mess anyway.
If Generations was all modern sonic stages and they were designed like speed highway and rooftop run, I would love the game. Unleashed levels are way fucking better than these though. They cut the generic shitty 2D platforming and do what Sonic does best: speed. I never did play Unleashed but am kind of curious to try it now if my 360 still works. I remember there was some butthurt because sonic transformed into the werehog or whatever? I thought conceptually it was kind of cool at least, not sure on how his levels are though.
You think Unleashed 360 is worth getting? Even if I played the best part of it already, I'm kinda curious to see where this boost gameplay started. Unleashed cant be THAT bad if invented such a fun playstyle...
>>336546557
git
>>336546410
Sonic Adventure is just as if not more linear than Sonic Adventure 2. The only real difference of note is occasionally you're thrown into an open area with some goal where you can skip stuff.
And Adventure 2's Final Rush probably has the most branching paths of any Sonic level in both games, despite ironically taking place mostly on rails, and Shadow's Sky Rail isn't all that far behind.
>>336545595
No, you're shit. Go back to watching your hero DSP.
>>336546557
I never bought Dark Souls or played any game like it, I remember going to pick it up and changing my mind and buying some Kirby game instead because people were calling DS a Zelda clone.
>>336545874
You're supposed to play the stage repeatedly until you can know how to go fast.
>>336545839
Kill yourself
>>336546714
Unleashed also has 2D sections, though they generally play much faster than the ones in Generations.
If you have Generations on PC, just play that Unleashed Project mod.
Literally only good for playing dress up and running around the hub showing off your outfit and looking at funny miiverse art.
Guys how do I tell if I'm going bald or just shedding hair? I have really long hair and I know this shit always happens but thinking about it makes me worried
>>336546914
I'm sorry anon, it's cancer.
>>336546881
Dude i already said i have the unleashed mod. Unleashed levels are way more exciting than generations levels. Im just wondering if the full version of Unleashed on xbox 360 is worth getting.
Sonyggers just desperate to claim they have another game.
I do own a PS4, and I did buy this game after /v/ hyped it up, and I can say after completing it, it's pure shit.
>your bullets magically miss thanks to RNG
>the game isn't fun unless you install a million mods
i'm so glad there will never be another one
>>336546557
No, it's not you. I think Dark Souls is slow, clunky, and boring. I get the appeal of it but it's not for me.
>>336546557
Nah DS feels really empty and depressing but that's kind of the whole point. It's boring as fuck if you take away the game play. If it wasn't a video game the world and story would fall flat.
Is this a joke thread where everyone pretends to have horrible taste?
>>336545510
Anyone else here enjoy the day stages in unleashed more than modern generations stages?
Day stages in unleashed were a little more "automatic" kind of, but they still required some twitch reflexes. It felt like an incredible rollercoaster, generations basically forced you to memorize the stages and slow down a lot of parts to pull them off
>>336546914
Cut your fucking hair anon. If you think you're balding you likely are or your hair is so damaged it's falling out. If it looks like shit then get a buzz cut. The only thing worse than a greasy pony tail is a balding pony tail.
>>336547009
Oh, I didn't read your other post.
Well, Unleashed probably has the best production values of any Sonic game that's ever been made, and there's some worthwhile content not included in the mod, and the mod isn't perfect to begin with.
It may be worth playing.
>>336545690
yeah you definitely don't understand them
so stop talking about them
>>336547023
Why? If there was another one, fans who enjoyed it would get to play it, while you still don't have to buy it. Its only a win win if another is made.
>>336547195
I feel like Generations requires little to no memorization precisely because it is slower, and in contrast, Unleashed often punishes you for trying to go fast without having things memorized.
>>336545874

I don't like it.
>>336546410
>nearly all of the Unleashed day stages are fucking great
All of them are on-rails garbage you fucking idiot
Modern Seaside Hill has better level design then anything on Unleashed
>>336547283
Im sold then. Ill leave my impressions once i beat the game. I know sonic autists shit talk the werewolf sonic but it actually looks kind of cool, and one thing I liked from the adventure games was the different styles of gameplay. It feels like theres 2 or 3 full games packed onto one disc. Wish more games did that
>>336547526
Play sonic colors instead anon
>>336546983
Thanks, WebMD.
>>336546914
That's called getting old senpai
>>336547586
I played enough of colors in generations. Planet wisp is from colors right? That was the WORST fucking level in the game. Tons of 2D, terrible environment, stupid ass traps everywhere, and that powerup spamming bullshit

Why don't you buy the games for it then, you dingus.
>>336547690
Hey now, the environment is pretty fucking cool up until you run into the construction area, and never leave, and spend the majority of the level there in 2D using rocket over and over.

What games? I own Splatoon, Wonderful101 Bayo2, SM3DW and TLOZWWHD. That's it. No other game on the system interests me.
>>336548049
You haven't played Unleashed.
>>336548003
but Isaac is fun though.
that one where you run around a random castle with 1 of 3 random knights and you have to do better than you did before or you don't get enough money to upgrade but it's not clear what's better to upgrade
fuck that game
>>336547195
Unleashed was a shitty interactive cutscene
Generations tried to be more like a real game but the engine is garbage and feels like controlling a car
Still would rather play Generations than garbage like Unleashed since at least it tries to be a game unlike the latter
Oh and hate on SA1 and SA2 all you want(and I don't like them either) but they put Unleashed's excuse for "controls" to shame this is an inarguable fact not opinion
>>336545510
I honestly wanted to believe all the posts saying otherwise were trolls/sonyggers and that the reviews were just dumbfucks.
Now I'm confused as to why so many people were defending it.
>>336545690
>the divergent level design and meticulous controls make me want to slow down
You're either slow, retarded or bad. This is Generations, not Lost World or Sonic CD.
>>336548117
How did you even complete the whole game if it isn't released yet?
>>336548204
It's a good game, about on par with 64.
>>336545510
I sure was tricked
>>336548275
I don't have to play something to know that it's shit
>>336548204
Just play it for what it is, a great arcade game
I'll give you the same advice I give to all Unleashedfaggots OP
Play Temple Run in your Smartphone you fucking casual
>>336548282
>It's a good game, it's on par with a game released 20 years ago!
There is more content in 64 than Zero too, which makes it even worse.
>>336548076
Anyone who's started gaming in 3D is a kiddie
>>336548339
I 100%'d on Day 2.
Hence why I was tricked.
>>336548164
Yes I fucking have
It's a piece of shit
>>336548339
arcade games aren't 60 dollars tho
>>336548354
Are you suggesting that many games released 20 years ago aren't far better than the vast majority of modern games?
Would you do this shit with any other medium? "Wow, but that movie's 20 years old."
>>336548257
>Sonic CD.
And you suck
So git gud
>>336548307
How do you even manage to play this mediocre game for this long?
Jesus Christ
>>336545874
It was the same way with me but I'll never forgive it for making me play as a drunkard with a deathgrip in only on hand.
>>336548424
>buy arcadey action game
>have no intention to replay for high scores or anything
you're at fault, here.
>>336548493
Games as a medium have grown. Now when you pay $60, you expect more than 3 hours of content, and you expect replayability.
I'm paying full price for a game with less content and less replayability than a 20 year old game.
That's the problem.
>>336548485
Neo Geo AES carts used to cost 200 bucks on release back in the day
>>336548581
>Games as a medium have grown.
>He actually fell for this meme
>>336548493
No, the problem is the 20 year old game is leagues better still, so it being a half-baked copy doesn't really make it worth buying.
I'd think you drones would get it, but I forgot you ignore the general consensus on your games when they're not positive.
>waah waah!! this game is pure shit because it's actually harder than Dank Souls!!!! waah!
lel
>>336548564
>buy arcadey game
>has very limited to basically no optional difficulties or unlockables
>less branching and alternate full paths than 64
I bought a game called Starfox Zero and expected to at least have more to do than Starfox 64, a game I played for years well into the Gamecubes life.
>>336545510
WHY?
WHAT THE FUCK I WAS THINKING?
>>336548581
Am I being tricked?
Most modern games pad out their length with shitty filler and mediocre content, and have very little in the way of replay value.
>>336548660
>the problem is the 20 year old game is leagues better still
I disagree. 64 is highly overrated, and Zero is about on par with it.
>>336548760
>I bought a game called Starfox Zero
>expected to at least have more to do than Starfox 64
Why would you expect than when it's advertised in the FUCKING TITLE to be less than 64.
>>336548780
the fuck
they made a sequel?
>>336548780
JUST
>>336548528
because i had fun
sure I didn't like parts but I didn't let that stop me I mean the only reason I didn't get all the achievements for the game was because of the need to S rank the last boss, fuck that.
>>336545510
stardew valley

almost FNAF but im not quite that autistic.
>>336548812
Zero objectively has more content, is objectively a larger game, objectively offers a variety of difficulty and had actual multiplayer.
To declare it "on par" with 64 is a fucking joke, hence why it was posted in this thread. I don't get it, we've had no problem accepting the near universal panning of Star Fox games in the past, and yet for some reason Zero has such a vocal defense.
>>336548897
mang people were sharing gog copies of stardew since day one here
why didnt you just pirate it
>>336546852
I complain about this all the time and say it's a reason I don't have fun with sonic but people accuse me of trolling and shit.
But then people like you blatantly admit that it takes time to learn to avoid obstacles in any given stage.
>>336548953
Because the Gamecube, DS and 3DS had actual games so they didn't need to put every single mediocre first party game on a pedestal.
Reminder these same people praised shit like Zombi U and Game & Wario when it was all they had. They dropped Zombi when it stopped being exclusive, and shit like Game & Wario and Mii Party are no longer used as padding in their lists because Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros finally came out.
>>336548953
>we've had no problem accepting the near universal panning of Star Fox games in the past
No, only for games released after 64, and even then Assault has tons of defenders despite the game being garbage outside of its first mission and multiplayer.
>yet for some reason Zero has such a vocal defense.
Because it's a good game.
>>336548841
Yes but this time Seaman are monkeys and the player is god
No more Leonard Nimoy though

It's fucking shit /v/
>>336545510
What was the point of having 2 sonics if modern sonic was 2D 80% of the time? WHY?!?! WHY!!!
>>336548780
>tfw Seaman 3DS was cancelled
>>336549046
You only have to know what you are doing (which can only happen by replaying) in order to go real fast all the time, not to just play and enjoy the game normally.
It's not like Sonic is difficult or punishing for a first play through, and most levels are happy to accommodate a slower and more exploration heavy playstyle.
Besides all that shit, what's wrong with a game being meant to be replayed? All those branching paths and hidden lives and shields and shit aren't there for nothing.
I bet you're one of those faggots that whines about not being able to see obstacles coming when you try to go fast despite this very rarely being an issue in the classic games outside of parts of Sonic 2.
>>336545595
Incorrect.

No bro, Zombi U and Lost World aren't exclusive anymore, we have an excuse to stop listing them now.

It's a solid 7/10 for the first half.
>>336545510
Fuck you
>>336545510
This game would have been good if Classic Sonic wasn't in it, and the later Modern Sonic levels were half as good as everything before Crisis City. But as it stands, it's a bit of a mess with a few good levels.
>>336555176
There is one reedemable level in the modern era: Rooftop Run. CC and PW do suck ass though. Chemical plant and seaside hill arent all that great either.
>bit of a mess with a few good levels
This is the best way to describe it
>>336546557
I'm the same. I've always thought the combat was serviceable, the level design a mix of clever and idiotic, and the lore itself uninteresting, for the most part.
The only time I found myself vaguely interested in Souls was when Matthewmatosis did a 6 hour play through and spoon fed all the interesting points of the game and universe. As it stands, I was bored to tears actually playing the thing.
>>336548581
SFZ was £30, or £40 with a bonus game.
I'm assuming either the American version only had the double pack like Bayonetta or you're overstating it.

Very true
>arguing for trash like labyrinth, scrap brain, hill top, oil ocean, metropolis, marble, wacky workbench, stardust speed way, collision chaos, sandopolis, marble garden, carnival night, launch base, lava reef
Please. Sonic has literally never been good if youre sticking up for garbage like this. Its a decent series with a good idea and themes thats just never used properly.
>>336555993
>sandopolis
Act 1 is one of the best levels in the game. It's only Act 2 that really has issues.
>scrap brain, stardust speed way, collision chaos, marble garden, carnival night, launch base, lava reef
These are all good, especially Launch Base and Lava Reef.
>>336545510
