General Sonic The Hedgehog thread

That makes sense to me. (I like how it looks, but I can respect this kind of opinion.) You exactly get the point I was making.

My take: If you haven't played a game, you can say it looks bad (or good), but you can't say it is bad.

Best thing I've read today.

Played it, it's awful but it's not the worst game ever.

I'm just speaking in general.

Thanks!

A gold medal for Odd1.

The other thing is that it's nice to explain why it's bad. Whether or not someone agrees with your points isn't that big of a deal as long as you have an explanation, you know? That way we can understand your position more clearly. It's more or less why the forum in general doesn't allow bashing stuff. It accomplishes nothing and just infuriates many people(usually fans of the item in question).

I honestly hope that Sega will approve another Sonic Boom. Sure, the Wii U had it's problems and the 3DS version is decent. But there's room for improvement.

I vote for more Robotnik.

Did someone say Sonic 06? Let me share with you a story of the time I got to experience it.

When I think back on 06, which nowadays I'd think of the Grumps' take on it, or The Great Clement's epic drunken tirade on it, it reminds me more of this.◊

Now, you may be wondering why the game reminds me of a baby seat. Well, one fine day I paid a visit to a good friend of mine. He and his other friend were playing the very game, and had made it to Crisis City. I joined in and we took turns.

Whenever one of us lost a life and watched Sanic breakdance into oblivion in the Mach Speed section, we had to wear the seat on our heads. Was this weird? Yes. Hilarious? Also yes.

Noooooooo.

I think the fallout the last game brought is proof enough that we don't need more than one.

I'm still of the faction that thinks that Boom as a game can be salvaged somehow, if one were to learn from the mistakes of what's there.

I'm of the faction that thinks it's not worth trying.

As long as Sonic Team doesn't waste their resources on Boom and leave it to an outside studio, I don't really care.

Boom turned out the way it did because they left it to an outside studio.

Big Red Button's website.

Oh, well.

The cartoon may be a waste to some, but I have to admit that it brings back a lot of what we loved about Sega of America's Sonic before Sega of Japan's takeover.

I only hope that Sonic Team takes the hint and moves away from that now that there's a sub-portion of the franchise that has overly self-referential comedy.

They should try another video game for the Sonic Boom franchise.

Just... pass it to a company that at least ignores focus testing saying "Speed doesn't sell" when it's about a character who's greatest weapon is speed.

...I don't get it.

Picked up a copy of Lost World 3DS.

And wow. This version seems to actually be better than the Wii U version. The wall running feels more controllable, the level design is on par so far, and the boss fights are slightly more challenging than taking a nap.

Just wait until you reach Tropical Coast.

I'm 2 stages in. The swimming stage was a bit of a switch after being used to the infinite water jumping in Colors, and the fruit level is just huge. Had to quit that one to go to bed, but it's an interesting take on box-pushing.

And the absurd amount of apple juice is funny.

Sonic Lost World: "...it's an interesting take on box-pushing."

Yeah. Beat Tropical Coast. It was not bad.

If there's a level I didn't quite like, it was Frozen factory 3, with that chasing snowball.

Looking at this level, I really wish soembody would make a webcomic making fun of Sonic's level design. Have the other characters try to beat Sonic's levels and enter hysterical fits of rage at trying to travel through them, since these acts/zones seem to be physically impassable for anyone but Sonic or Tails.

Or Bayonetta, I suppose.

If it's a full moon, Bayonetta would just witch walk up all the walls and hit the goal in seconds.

Or turn into a panther.
