Good form. Anyway Sonic went to shit as soon as he stopped being retro so don't worry about it.

>>2874659
But...I plan to play Sonic Adventure.

Spoiler: It's shit aside from the awesomely cheesy buttrock OST

Have fun anyway anon.

I think parts of it are good (Emerald Coast, Speed Highway) and parts of it really suck (Knuckles and Big).

Honestly you should just download a completed save file and play through the good levels if you want to have a good time with it.

get ready to watch a pattern with the series
>a handful of good games
Genesis trilogy & CD
>wave of mediocre/polarizing/garbage
3D Blast, Knuckles Chaotix, and Sonic Labyrinth
>repeat
Sonic adventure 1 and 2, Advance series
Heroes to unleashed
Colors and Generations I personally count unleashed too but I know it's not for everyone.
Lost World and Boom duology

keep in mind I just mean the handful of good is followed up with games that at least a sizable percentage of the fanbase thinks is mediocre or crap, not necessarily saying everything there IS bad

>>2874639
Play everything. Even the shit games. I mean the really shit ones, because they'll help you better appreciate the average, mediocre and flawed ones. Not just the obviously shit ones like 06 and Boom, but the shit ones that fly under most peoples' radar like Labyrinth, 8-bit Sonic 1, Chronicles, and so on.

8-bit Sonic 1 was great though.

>>2874928
Nah Chronicles is on the same level of shittyness as 06 and Boom, and is not worth bothering with.

Just play 3&K and call it a day. Don't waste your time on anything else.

I've heard good things about the before/after the sequel games, are they actually worth playing and are any others?

>>2874673
I could never stand adventure personally, but I hope you enjoy it regardless

That 3D render of Sonic looks like balls
