bla bla ba, trolls shut up while I asked questions about the game

in the Town area, can you skip all the side stuff?
do you stay in the town for short periods of time or is it long?
can you just skip town stuff and directly do the Action Stages?
after you complete a stage, is there a mode where you can play stages singularly ?

I really doubt Sega will do much better, ever.

This Sonic game is great. Either you can dis it and run the series into the ground YOURSELVES, or you can actually play the game and enjoy it.

The only 'problem' with this game now is the incredible waves of negativity that come from the media and gamers on the internet.

Yes, you can skip the side missions.

The game starts you in the towns for longer periods. Later on it gets shorter.

You cannot skip ALL the town stuff, just most of it.

Yes, you can reply stages in a separate non-story mode.

1. So Sonic games should be all about running in a straight line and jumping occasionally?

All games evolve.

2. Well, Half Life 2 didn't really use physics for the core gameplay. The Silver levels do.

3. Psi Ops might use physics in gameplay, but it cannot be as complex as this game's. The physics in this game clearly show off the abilities of a next gen console. I'll admit I never played Psi Ops, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the Silver levels.

What? Ok.. you've admitted to not play Psi-Ops(which has physics that would be "next gen" by your standards).. but something tells me you havent even played through the entirety of Half-Life 2. Go play through these to games before coming back here and calling Silver's levels "revolutionary". :lol Hell, even Lego Star Wars' force-building power is as impressive.

No, I played Half Life 2 to it's entirety more than once, as well as Ep. 1

It's obvious you haven't played this game. Just STFU, seriously. You and other idiots like you are killing gaming...

Better than HL2? You're kidding right? My roommate has been playing it for about two hours now and I have seen NOTHING to suggest this game is worth buying. No, platformers do not need a story, but if they insist on having one, they definitely don't need to have the overwrought, stupidly dramatic story this game has. Also, the town sections are horrible. (Sega, this IS a platformer, right?) Honestly, those that buy this game are part of the problem. C'mon, guys! I want to see this franchise restored!

Much like I was dissappointed with 3D Blast on the Saturn, rather than a true sequel.

That was an inherently bad game that failed on almost every basic design level, I agree.

I've already rationalized why I dislike it. You can't go back, can't roll, can't jump properly, it's just not Sonic. You can go left and right and leap.
Click to expand...

This is mostly all you can do in 3D Sonic now. Tails throws ring bombs at enemies like some kind of Bubsy 3D shit. The animations are moving away from spining to slide-kicks and mid-air pose striking.

SEGA could have popped in Ristar and people wouldn't have noticed a difference.
Click to expand...

Ristar never ran into the screen or dropped rings when he took damage. Sonic did both of these things as early as 1992! Do you see? do you see?

Add in Sonic rolling (to gain speed and to kill baddies), jumping like he does in the special stages (like in Sonic 2 and in Rush), able to turn around and go back on the path he was running on previously, multiple paths (both vertical and horizontal) and get rid of those white fuzzballs you have to collect, and I would look forward to it. But no, we get a game on rails, with none of Sonic's traits beside his own visuals.
Click to expand...

Well, you can either give the game a chance on it's own merits (as I intend to) or be all Rain Man about it and never play anthing that doesn't meet your 12-point plan for a better Sonic ever again. If Wildfire is fun, it's your loss.

Oh, really?

THAT is the ONLY problem with the game, huh?

So the camera doesn't suck?

The controls aren't mediocre?

The setting of the game doesn't suck?

It's not the same basic game we've played since 1999 with no improvements on the same problems?

Okay!

You know what the worst part is? You guys are total hypocrites.

A few weeks ago I made some comments about a certain upcoming Zelda game and everyone proceeded to trash me despite my clear comments and reasoning. This is a game that none of you even played.

Now I come on here posting about a game I am enjoying, one that I have actually played, and you idiots are allowed to trash it and anyone who likes it into the ground... WTF seriously.

You guys are scum.

Ok, so I'll ask again. What are you expecting.. or what do you want from a 3D Sonic game? Ususally when people don't like how a game plays they provide examples of what they think might make it better.. something a lot of you trolls havent been doing. And I'm almost repeating myself as much as the whiners, but you guys obviously have not played the final version of the game and thus can't realize that progress is being made. It's not a lot, mind you, but it's enough to be noticeable and still have fun playing it.
Click to expand...

A game that makes some attempt to implement character physics back into the gameplay. Sonic should not stick to things because he is scripted to do so, he should be sticking to things because he is running fast enough to do so. Similarly, there are plenty of great examples of ball-based physics/momentum simulations built into very well-received games (metroid prime?). If it was a case where Sega were willing to treat the title as something with prestige to it, instead of a cash cow, we might have seen some real advancements in the engine by this point.

A game that goes beyond extremely rudimentary multi-path stages suspended above various bottomless pits. Mario 64 did this a long, long time ago. Nintendo moved on. Everyone else moved on. Sonic Team haven't.

A storyline that treats the franchise with a little more respect. Give the characters actual charm and personality instead of shoehorning in overwrought timetravel/demon-reviving/bizarre love interest out of nowhere storylines on an already top-heavy cast.

The setting rocks, I don't know where you got the idea that it doesn't.

The rest, well, you know. I maintain that the number 1 problem is the loading, and it's enough to put a huge damper on EVERYTHING else.

Nintendo moved on. Everyone else moved on. Sonic Team haven't.

Actually, they have (literally). Sonic Team exists in name only.

When did you come here from GameFaqs, exactly?

I haven't seen a Sega/Sonic fanboy this bad in a while. Most kind of gave up by now.

I didn't play the game? So I don't work at EB Games and I didn't take the game out today for 4 days when I went and bought FF3, Trauma Center, Rayman, and Monkey Ball?

Oh, okay.

(It plays exactly the same as SA1.)

from what I gathered on this contested thread is that there are actually only FOUR people who played the retail version so far

3 positives and 1 negative. I listened to the positive and negative input from those Four people who gave their impressions and I will digest it for what it is.

the rest of you trolls who critique and havn't played the game, you all have your heads up your asses.

and Nintendo fans can byte me for all your hypocracies
