Sonic Adventure 2 is on par with Mario 64 if we’re being completely honest.

SM64 tries a lot of new things just like SA2 and it’s to varied success. The experimentation alone was worth the retail cost. Two factions, three forms of gameplay in the main story, alternate moves, a sick ass rivalry. The mech gameplay and treasure hunting were a nice break from the most breakneck pace of the hedgehog missions. I loved learning different angles of the story through the supporting cast. I loved raising chaos in the chao garden. It was all so much fun.If you take away the running corridors, crap level design, dumbass plataforming, autistic mecha stages, brain damaging emerald hunting, coldsteel hedgehog story, terrible controls, 2 separate stories with crtl+c gameplays, 3 last stages, stupid voice acting, stupid rival battles, "time limit" stages and rankings, it would probably almost be on par with 64.
I'll give it to you - that first stage is some really top level stuff. A breath of fresh air for the franchise that looks nice, is fun to play, does a good job of demonstrating the new mechanics, and sets the player up with some great expectations for the rest of the game.
the only 3D Sonic game that doesn't require you to learn each level in order to have fun because the camera is actually good here
people keep praising this game but the rubberbanding is so awful the game feels utterly pointless.Yes.
Game is fine and gives you more than enough items to keep first place.people keep praising this game but the rubberbanding is so awful the game feels utterly pointless.

Not an official title, but I finally got around to test Sonic Robo Blast 2 yesterday. Heard about it ages ago and Digital Foundry made a decent video showing off the title. It's an open source fan project based on a modified Doom engine. Sprites are 2D, but you can select 3D models if you want.

Yes, the experience is certified fresh. Not running on-rails and a more open world'ish setting makes it very different.I tried this game right after seeing it in action in this video. The controls could use some tweaks but I was still really impressed especially with the level design and graphics. You really get the feel you're in the same universe as 2D Sonic. The thought put into the levels also feels much more like playing 2D than any official 3D game. The game isn't finished and there's some stuff like wrong button prompts but I played the first 3 zones last night as the freshest Sonic experience since...forever.
I half expected the first zone to be the best/most finished, but then zone 2 was a complete technical challenge I would have expected at the end of a Sonic game, like Scrap Brain or Metropolis Zone, and demands full dexterity with the controls/camera immediately...then Zone 3 was like Labyrinth crossed with Aquatic Ruin, but being in 3D for first time invoked the OOT Water Temple. The palette swap alone made me want to keep playing.
No, there is none. Some people look back at sonic adventure 1 and 2 and remember them as being good. They are wrong. 3D Sonic always sucks. But I'm sure Sonic Frontiers will break the spell.

My only mild irritants is that the game imitates the soapy acceleration of the 2D and other sonic games when moving at walking speed. I would take a page from Mario games and make it more precise and give the player character a slightly larger bounding box to pick up rings.
What a generic reply.No, there is none. Some people look back at sonic adventure 1 and 2 and remember them as being good. They are wrong. 3D Sonic always sucks. But I'm sure Sonic Frontiers will break the spell.
False, I can literally play sonic adventure 1 or 2 now and enjoy it as much as I did at the time. Most people just want to be sheep and hate on sonic games since its the "cool" thing to do.No, there is none. Some people look back at sonic adventure 1 and 2 and remember them as being good.

Must be why i brought mania and origins recently, been playing sonic for years and gave up on the series after heros and 06, not my fault the game is a messGo play another series. Saying this about Generations is just delusional and objectively incorrect. You clearly don't want to play a Sonic game.
Reach the end of each level or complete the objective as fast and efficient as possible, sometimes the gameplay changes to put more emphasis on combat, shooting or exploration and that's what people usually have problems with.Like, don't hate, but... is any Sonic good? Maybe I don't get what Sonic is about, I like platformers, but like, what's the point of these games? You go fast, bounce off shit collect and lose ring, I simply don't get it. Which game should I try to play and see if I like it?
3D Sonic is about learning and mastering a given level until you execute it well enough to obtain the best rank possible.Like, don't hate, but... is any Sonic good?
