Board 8 > ITT: b8 sonic opinions

(+) Yeah! (+)

On a bit of a Sonic binge lately, and want to get a feel for how B8 feels about this series. And by "series" I mean "2D platformers up to and including CD." My rankings:

Games: CD = 3&K > 1 > 2

Bonus stages: CD > 1 > 3&K > 2

Music: CD (JPN) > 2 > 3&K > 1 > CD (NTSC)


Yeah, not big on 2 all things considered!

Generations is the best Sonic game.

But 3&K > 2 > 1 for every category you listed.

Too biased against CD to rank it.

I never liked any of them for some reason. I played a few worlds of each up to Sonic 3&K just because the music and visuals were cool enough to keep me interested, but I've always hated the gameplay of Sonic. I don't think I could ever say I've had "fun" with a Sonic game.

...which is odd because I loved the hell out of Speedy Gonzalez: Los Gatos Bandidos for the SNES. I guess the speed sections always seemed dumb to me, if it had more straight up platforming (like Speedy) I think I might have enjoyed the series more.

I take it you were a Mario guy growing up, then? I certainly was. I guess it comes down to action-platforming versus exploration-platforming.

Yeah, definitely. SMW is still up there with my all-time favourites. Same with the first two DKC games.

CD needs more love here tbqh. Just remember to play it with the JPN soundtrack, a million times better.

And yeah, DKC series is great. 2 is probably the best platformer ever honestly; great mix of action and exploration

I just think CD feels really bad to play. Super clunky. Too much **** lying around.

Just popping in to say that I really enjoyed Chronicles, and am incredibly sad that there probably wont be another one.

3+k > 2 > Generations > the rest

great series

2 > 3&K > 1 > CD, but the parameters neglect other good and really good Sonic games; the former category including Sonic 3D Blast, The Sonic Chronicles and most of the handhelds, the latter including Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 and Generations.

If the Earth were a sandwich, we'd get along so well,
And we could feed everybody, with a piece of ourselves.

Hell, you can ignore my parameters entirely if you feel there are other, better Sonic games. I know many people consider Advance 3 Genesis-quality, for example.

Not really a fan of 2D Sonics. Then again, Colors is almost entirely in 2d.

HD Unleashed underrated.

Heroes bottom tier.

Yeah, that's all I got.

Also, forgot to include CD in my inequality. Put it in front of SA1.

Music: Never really paid enough attention to music to properly rank anything. CD Bias probably causes me to rank it's American soundtrack best, but I'd have to actually listen to things to properly rank them and I'm too lazy to do so.

Also too lazy to rank everything. Generations > All, that's good enough.

That should do it, not really sure about how I would rank the GG sonic games though.

Generations would fall behind 2 from what I've played, so far.

- Genesis games are good, but not stupid god tier
- Sonic 3 & Knuckles definitely the best of them
- Sonic Adventure was a shoddy mess, but SA2 was fantastic
- Heroes wasn't that bad
- Shadow the Hedgehog was bad, but not worst game ever material.
- Sonic 2006 was Sonic 2006.
- Unleashed suffered because 2006 and Shadow hurt reputation too badly.

Haven't played Colors or Generations yet.

City Escape is one level, and really not that bad.

The music on every level is completely customizable so if you don't want to listen to Crush 40, you don't have to.

None of those missions are mandatory.

I mean, if those are your main concerns, there's really nothing to worry about.

I also don't think the SA, Heroes, 2K6, and Colours levels look that great in 3d. Those are just the most egregious offenders.

Well, Planet Wisp is definitely not as good as it is in Colors, but the others are fine.

But I understand that 3-D Sonic isn't for everyone though, so yeah.

"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

Sonic CD question for those more in the loop (lol get it):

So there's the bad ending when you don't get all the Time Stones, and then there's the good ending when you get all the Time Stones + good futures. But what if you only got all the Time Stones and not the good futures, or vice-versa? Is it still the bad ending? Some middle-ending? Google and GameFAQs are being surprisingly unhelpful here.

Overall: 3&K >> 2 > 1

Sonic Adventure is pretty terrible.
Sonic Adventure 2 ranges from "okay" to "blah."
Sonic Advance 3 is decent-ish, but I've heard a lot of people call it great. Hmm.
Sonic 2006 is so bad that it's funny.
Sonic Unleashed HD ranges from "really damn fun" to "kind-of-tedious-but-still-better-than-the-weaker-bits-in-the-Adventure-games." It's not spectacular, but it gets a bad rap. It's also one of maybe two or three games this generation I've bothered 100%ing.
Sonic Generations is ace from what I've played so far.

Never played CD, Advance 1 or 2, Heroes (other than the demo), Shadow, Unleashed SD, 4, or Colors.

holy **** guys sonic cd, 1, and 2 are all on iphone

gonna download cd and play it, impressions incoming

"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

Just played through the first world of Sonic CD on my iPhone. Impressions:

It's actually much better than I was expecting. Controls work well given the limited interface, and the bonus stages look and play great. What really makes this the extras: both the Japanese and US soundtracks are included, Tails is apparently playable, and there are four save slots! Really worth the five bucks for those who haven't played it yet.
