Why all the hate for Sonic Adventure?

Hello Escapists,

I'm a Sonic fan (the older stuff AND NOT anything new anyway). And I honestly haven't played a Sonic game I liked in 3D aside from Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. I consider Sonic: Heroes to be the death of the Sonic series, but I really love the Sonic Adventure games. They're very dear to me and some of my favorite games ever; I still play through them.

So if possible I'd like to know why exactly everyone hates Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 so much.

You know your game isn't that fun when players spend more time in the bloody Chao Gardens!

Seriously, my Chao were awesome, they should just make a game around those little things.

Also, the garden music was catchy as fuck!

It's clearly worse than Sonic 1,2, 3/ S&K. It's clearly better than Heroes, 2k6, Unleashed.

Colors is better, Sonic 4 is worse.

I have no hate for the Adventures, but I also have no love for them either.

"I nothing it."

It is the most mediocre part of Sonic, in my opinion.
It was the beginning of the decline into terrible for me, but the reboot with Colors was great, so I still have hope for Sonic as a whole.

I think Sonic Adventure was some of the best 3D Sonic games.

Of course that's not saying much... that's like saying the Bubonic plague was the best of the plagues.

But I did quite enjoy it myself, even though the camera hated you and the 3D platforming shows obvious cracks.

The fuck are you talking about? I adored Sonic Adventure.

I see you're relatively new here, so protip: avoid asking why "everyone" hates something. Also asking if you're the only one, that'll be met with scorn. But no, I thought Sonic Adventure was pretty well received?

They aged badly I had good memories of sonic adventure on the dreamcast and but when I played the gamecube and Xbox 360 ports things have went downhill.
It was just good for it's time but it doesn't stand up today

I only liked the first Adventure, and even then they are some parts I just hated. (What the fuck do you mean head to the forest near the ship. What the hell am I supposed to look for?!)

I loved both Sonic Adventure games

and my only true gripe was with the first one, I thought it should have kept the gameplay as Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, instead of all the fucking rest, but all that doesnt even get to MATCH Big the Fatass



SERIOUSLY

A CAT

FISHING

IN A SONIC GAME

QUI LE FUCK

1 aged terribly. 2 actually aged pretty well. It isn't as good as it was compared to a few years ago, but it's still fun. Plus, some of the music still is awesome. Case in point:
I don't care what anyone say. THIS is Eggman's/Robotnik's theme song!

You know? I'll say it here. I enjoyed Shadow the Hedgehog. I don't understand the hate for it. Was it simply due to the break in the gameplay being able to use weaponry?

I dunno. It seems like a lot of people I've spoken to really hate the game, and I was curious why exactly. And thanks for the tips, I'll try to word things more wisely in the future.

Sonic adventure 2 is the pinnacle of the sonic series, atleast to me and it still remains one of my favourite games.

I agree with both, Sonic Adventure 2 had the best gameplay of all the 3D Sonics, excellent soundtrack and also CHAO GARDENS, it was sad when they died...

I like Sonic Adventure, but I think Sonic Adventure 2 is kind of boring. The only decent levels are the Sonic/Shadow ones. The Knuckles/Rouge and Tails/Eggman levels are boring as hell.

Sonic Adventure 2 is and shall always be my favorite Sonic game.

My brother and I must have 200+++ hours clocked in on that game, raising Chao and collecting emblems.

That game was part of our childhoods, really.

The thing about the Sonic Adventure games is that they were good, but have aged really, really badly. I still like Sonic Adventure 2, but Sonic Adventure 1 is...bleh.

Both still have kickass music though.

Adventure 1&2 had their fair share of problems: the stories where lame, bugs occasionally slowed you down, the cutscenes where badly done, and they had a bad habit of giving you a gameplay mode you didn't want to play like fishing or cart racing that you had to do to play the Super Sonic part. But overall they where ok, when you got to play as Sonic or Shadow.

I hear Soinc Colors is good. I got it for Christmas but I haven't played it yet because I'm scared it'll let me down.

Sonic adventure defiantly sits somewhere in my top 20 games of all time. Something about it just really clicked with me and I still play it even to this day. My favourite thing to do is trying to beat my 1 minute 45 second record on emerald beach (that game is brilliant for speed runs).

Sonic adventure 2 is good, but it had some really average moments and wasn't as much of a thrill as the first one. Plus the sonic/shadow levels where the only good ones in that.
