Is he turned off by 2D gaming? I remember when I was his age and 3D games were all the rage. When I had my N64, I was always annoyed when I saw that a game played out in 2D, because my logic was- it's the N64, why can't they do it in 3D? Now I'm older and I know better, though.Shoggoth2588 said:
no i'm going by sales and reviews. and when did i mention not owning a wii? stick to the topic. this about sonic games. don't try to turn it into a console flame war.leet_x1337 said:
This. Over here at the Escapist, many of us are Elder Scrolls and Zelda fans. I'm definitely more of a Sonic fan than the former two, but I'm not too vocal about it since it ends up as everyone shouting at me that Sonic is a bad franchise and should just die.lobster1077 said:
okay i usally don't bother getting into fan wars but...shadow a badass? really? *sigh* we want to make sonic "edgy" lets make him black, and give him a gun...thats not just lazy, its borderline racist. plus he has no personality. he just acts like he's bored.arc1991 said:
Indeed sir.tofulove said:
Yep, all terrible. That's why Sonic Adventure 2: Battle was the most popular answer on the thread asking for people's favourite Sonic game.sketch_zeppelin said:
I had nothing but fun with Sonic Adventure 2. People say the treasure hunting was aweful, but I feel it took a slight step up from Adventure 1 and more polish would have made it great. The shooting... was awful. But playing as Robotnik for a change was pretty cool. And the Sonic/Shadow stages were all fun as well. I know few people (that I've met) who will say they hated SA2.sketch_zeppelin said:
Well considering how Adventure 2 was originally released on the Dreamcast and got pretty good scores then since the Dreamcast died and it was ported over to the Gamecube as adventure 2 battle it did get lower scores because of that. but it still doesnt make it a bad game.sketch_zeppelin said:
...the good guy and bad guy campaigns are the same game with diffrent cut scenes (sonic and shadow, rouge and kunckles, and robotnick and tails all controled the same). i kinda liked rouge but shadow is a horrible character that becomes a borderline racist sterotype in the shadow the hedgehog game (he's "evil" sonic, he's black, has an uzi and drives around in a suv with dub wheels)...i had fun with the frist sonic adventure game but with the exception of the super sonic/super shadow finale, i found the game lazy and annoying.Krion_Vark said:
2 things I have to point out.sketch_zeppelin said:
1) i wasn't saying he was in adventure 1. i was saying i liked that game better than adventure 2.Krion_Vark said:
The reviews all said both versions of Colours were good. The only bad review of the Wii version was by Jim Trolling of Destructoid. Also, the game sold 1.85 million copies[sup][sup][1][/sup][/sup] and got 78 and 8.4 from Metacritic. Tell me, how is that bad sales and reviews by any stretch?sketch_zeppelin said:
What [http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/sonic-generations] were [http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/sonic-generations] you looking at? [http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/sonic-generations] Because it clearly wasn't any of the Sonic Generations Metacritic scores. (I can't put the 3DS score up yet on account of there only being one review at the moment (70/100), but handheld Sonic games rarely get anything below a 75 or so)xXxJessicaxXx said:
I checked it earlier this month and it was 60 and all the reviews said it was mediocre so I didn't bother.PhunkyPhazon said:
I'm seriously starting to wonder if the people still hating on the franchise have even bothered playing a single one of them since Sonic 2006. Heck, just yesterday I saw a guy bashing the franchise...and then he went on to say that he had never played a single Sonic game in his life.Palademon said:
Come off your high horse; it's getting rheumatic! If you say that you want Sonic to give up everything good he's done in the last few years (and yes, he HAS had good games in the last few years) just to go with YOUR personal vision of the franchise...get some money, buy Sega and then you can do it. For now, if you actually were a fan of Sonic, you'd be grateful he exists at all rather than complaining ad nauseam that the new game isn't Sonic 2.5. If there's one thing I hate, it's people blinded by nostalgia - especially in Sonic's case.sketch_zeppelin said:
