Sonic the Hedgehog Thread

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR...and this might just be complete chance...millions of fans and video game players alike have scorned Sonic Teams ever continuing fuck ups and repeatedly trying to cover up bad game play with a gimick or the cluster fuck of excessively bad plot lines (even by anime standards) and characters.

Mario isn't trying to hide anything with his gimicks. He uses the gimick for purpose and executes it well, I'm not even a mario fan or a Nintendo fan for that matter and I can't find fault with the out of work plumber (I have yet to see him fix a pipe).

Also...and this is the one where your panties might hopefully retract from your rectum...I might be going for that humor angle based of mild annoyances after stating valid points in a coherent manner and seeking a more enjoyable post. Really...whens the last time "fucking fuck" was used to state a point successfully? Lol, internets people.
 
I like a lot of the 2D sonic games, and a few of the 3D ones too. But I'll post my favorites later. But on quick note. I wish 3D epople would stop complaining about 3D sonic. I honsetly don't see the point why we bitch and moan about this guy.

Firstly, No one is denying that Sega is fucking up and continuing to do so.

Secondly, Sega does not try to "cover up" bad gameplay with gimmicks. They simply present those gimmicks and fuck up on the development resulting in a shitty game. I'm simply tired of people blaming the gimmicks as if even in the hands of skillful developers, the project still wouldn't have worked because that is NOT the case (Look at Dimps and BioWare for an easy example).

I'll bet you all the money in the world that if Sega had paid Insomniac to develop Shadow the Hedgehog, it would have actually been a good game.
 
Ok strip away the gimicks. Whats the evolution of sonic 3d games? Not much. We still see the same formula. On rails traversing, homing attack on slow parts, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...?

I say they hide behind the gimicks because they put much more time into the gimick than fixing the core issues unrelated to the gimick. I literally think their meetings go like this:

Bob from accounting - "Hey the kids aren't liking our games, maybe we should listen to our fans and fix what they've been complaining about in the mechanics"

Boss - "Bill that's a stupid idea, what we need is an extreme makeover. Grab the last sonic game, research what animals are all the craze in the furry circle, and find a way to make sonic...ummm...EXTREME!"

Bob from accounting - "Make him what?"

Boss - "EXTREME Bill-"

Bob from accounting - "It's Bob"

Boss - "Whatever...Give him a sword and a cat friend or something and just repackage the last game we made...oooooh and can we do this one underwater?"

Bob from accounting - "Why? Wont that slow him down?"

Boss - "Ooooh and he can grind on water skiis....kids are gonna love it"

Bob from accounting - "I hate you..."

*BTW all voice acting done by that boss from Spiderman for the Daily Bugle. Bob wishes to one day design and save sonic...
 
How many of you actually played through Sonic Unleashed? If you honestly think that game wasn't good then you more than likely have a huge bias or are a retard. Unleashed was actually a good game. You don't like the werehog levels? Oh well, they were still platforming fun (because you know, every single sonic game was you going fast right?) though I did prefer the day time levels. The day levels were amazing and encompassed a lot of what I wanted in a Sonic game. They even are starting to release DLC with revamped stages that are harder, have more obstacles and some all new stages as well.

Old school sonic is good, but of the newer gen sonics Unleashed actually gets a lot right. Stop going into blind hate mode and actually look into a game instead of assuming it's crap.

[edit] Goes to show more ignorance, Ivyfanboys rant mentions lots of things that Unleashed does right. GASP A PERSON TALKING SHIT WHO HASN"T ACTUALLY PLAYED THE GAME? IMPOSSIBLE!

-Sonic is the only character you play
-Robotnik is the villain and you don't team up with him
-Tails helps out but you don't actually play him
-Sonic is extremely fast and you are rewarded for 'bouncing' off enemies and such to get to different platforms / areas. When you fight enemies that are not in the air you never have to even stop most of the time in day time stages.
-There is a boost button, so even if you come to a stop you can start a break neak speed right away.
-Each level has multiple pathways.
-Werehog is actually entertaining imo. Like I said I prefer daytime, but the night stages have some fun platforming.
-Story was ... well it's a Sonic story. Cheesy but enjoyable.
-Bosses are fun.
