Sonic Colors, Generations, Lost World.

They are litterally that without the bullshit.

Aww.

At least there's Unleashed, then.

You know, once you put yourself through the agony of beating the whole thing you can just go back and play all the day stages in order without any of the cutscenes or night stages getting in the way. It's just like playing an actual fun Sonic game.

Colours is also great. Haven't played the other two.

Sonic and the Black Knight was also fun, I don't care what anyone says.

yep

have one where if you die once you get booted to the menu

followed by bullshit jumps, fake paths, pits everywhere, impeccable timing, and three rings

or one where you have to finish with no rings

with a maze of rings at the end with no way to lose them, forcing you to be precise and perfect

with the controls

I say that you are wrong and that it was a clunky abhorrent mess.

Should I consider a good thing I only played one sonic game in my life?

No because a lot of them are still great even though a lot of them are also awful.

And Adventure 2 was awful in big chunks of it but nobody cares because it was saved from the shitty game pile by dint of sheer camp value.

Adventure 2 is a game from my early childhood that I remember fondly.

I haven't played it since so I don't actually know where the shitty parts are.

Everything to do with Knuckles and Rouge. Sweet fucking Christ that shit might have actually been worse than the fishing bullshit in Adventure 1. Tails and Eggman's stages were playable at least, and Sonic's and Shadow's stages ranged from okay to pretty great.

As much as I hate to agree with Egoraptor because he says stupid shit a lot of the time, Sonic Adventure 2 really does control pretty badly, especially when you go from playing something as buttery smooth as Colours or Unleashednote  to Adventure 2, where Sonic will just stop dead mid-sprint if you so much as look at him funny and rail-grinding is a wobbly slow physics-less mess.

But god damn WHO THE FUCK CARES YEAH GOTTA GO FAST

I may not have cared about the controls much back then either but the "Find the Things" stages were always awful in my book, what with the constant beeping and the unhelpful hints and the camera making it hard to see and the constant beeping and the unhelpful hints and also Omochao and the constant beeping and the constant beeping and the constant beeping and oh did I mention it was timed?

But again, once you beat the game you can just go play Sonic and Shadow's stages and ignore everything else and pretend the whole game was just that.

Does anyone remember how cool Radical Highway looked after being confined to GBA handhelds and Genesis stuff and the 2D platformers?

I just wonder how the hell anyone is able to do all that stuff so fast in sonic games without screwing up.

You git gud.

All this really is is a matter of checking the road to make sure you don't crash into anything. Like driving.

god damn I love Chun-Nan.

Tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and play me some Unleashed.

Ah yes because it is so easy not to hit things when you go so fast that the background gets blurry.

Eh, can't quite do racing games, mostly because I have problems timing the turns or movements

Also, no consoles

Holy shit this fucker just threw his ass off the road and made it work.

And the stage still only gave him a B.

Sonic Adventure 2 doesn't fuck around.
