ColbyRasmus 07/30/17 2:40:58 AM #5:	DorkLink posted... Continuing the discussion of the last topic... I don't know if I'm really that excited about Sonic Mania. I like the old Sonic games, but I can't really explain why. They're enjoyable enough to play through, but nothing about the gameplay is truly special to me. Sonic Mania just seems like a nostalgia cash-in, and I don't know if I'd have the patience to play through it without having the familiarity that brings me back to the Genesis games. After the shitshow the last what, 15 years? More? has been, I don't blame you for doubting. I just trust the dude who is running the show -- he was one of the biggest Sonic fangame creators who got hired to port Sonic 2 and Sonic CD to mobile, both times going above and beyond. He even added a level to Sonic 2, which is pretty dope. Gameplay is identical to the Genesis games, which is something that hasn't been done since...well, the Genesis games. He's adding a dropdash move, which is awesome. Adding a move sounds lame, I know, but the spindash in Sonic 2 completely changed the Sonic gameplay. I know that after I play Mania for awhile, I'm going to totally fuck up playing through S2 and S3&K, just like I can't go back to Sonic 1 without trying to spindash ten times a level. I've pressed Down+A+A tens of thousands of times, as fast as I could, and I just can't re-condition myself. It's literally the game the Genesis fans have been asking for since 1994, and they are finally giving it to us! I would say that if you weren't big fans of the originals, you will feel the exact same way with this game. But everything I've seen so far looks phenomenal, and while I've always been hopeful about new Sonic games, this is the only one I wasn't hesitant about. For comparison, I thought Sonic Forces looked like dogshit even before the create-a-character was announced. I was really hoping for a new 3D gameplay style by now. --- "Now I'm about to dunk on you, so get ready champ." - riverdude <cite>ColbyRasmus posted [p:883856356] in Sports Dis...
