For the first time, I've finished Sonic Heroes. Fucking chaos emeralds kept me from completing it 9 years ago.

It's better than Colors.

Son, you need to replay Colours.

I had an ideeeea ♪

(What's the idea?)

Let's play more Sonic oh-six ♫

Perhaps the best thing that came out of Game Grumps.

Stop talking about games you've never played.

I thought this was brilliant, at least.

I'd greatly appreciate it if SA2 would stop making my Chao trip three times in a race that I'd normally win otherwise. Jesus christ.

It's your fault for raising a clumsy chao!

I'll have you know that my Chao is a cry baby, NOT Clumsy!

128 Emblems down.

better than melee

 

[ViewtifulJC]

better than Majora's Mask(as are most things)

 

[Emitan]

I can't handle all this wrong.

 

[Anth0ny]

so I've been making my way through all the Sonic platformers since maybe Generations' debut trailer, just for fun. gonna sum up my findings here so far...

Better than Sonic Colors:

Sonic 1
Sonic 2
Sonic 3K
Sonic CD
Sonic Adventure
Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic 06
Sonic Advance
Sonic Generations
all Master System/Game Gear Sonics
Sonic Jump
Sonic Heroes

Worse Than Sonic Colors:

Chaotix
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic 4
Sonic Rush/Rush Adventure/Colors DS
ViewtifulJC's favorite game
Astrosanity's favorite game

Still need to (re)play:

Advance 2
Advance 3
Sonic Battle
Sonic 3D Blast
Shadow the Hedgehog
Black Knight (lol fuck)
Sonic and the Secret Rings

Shadow is next. I'll be making a LTTP on that one. Expecting it to be really, really bad. Probably worse than Colors.

 

[Noi]

I don't see Colors on that list of games to replay.

 

[Anth0ny]

I don't see Colors on that list of games to replay.

I'd like to play every game at least once before returning to a title. I know you guys want me to give Colors a second chance... I'll see what I can do.

I did just upgrade my PC... Colors on Dolphin perhaps? It's a pretty game, I'll give it that.

 

[Dark Schala]

better than Majora's Mask(as are most things)

Wrong.

I thought this was brilliant, at least.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omLve_vezbA

Every episode should be like this.

 

[Emitan]

I don't see Colors on that list of games to replay.

Because he hasn't played it.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Because he hasn't played it.

this is a new low in SonicGAF history.

at least tigerkiddo plays games before he forms his (bad) opinions

 

[DICKS AHOY]

But what if my favorite game is Melee? WHAT THEN ANTHONY

Spoiler

It's probably Yoshi's Island, DKC2, HL2 or TF2 or some shit

 

[BlackJace]

06 is a fundamentally broken game. The design is offensive, its technical issues are rampant.

It is objectively worse than Colors simply by the fact that Colors is a complete, actually-competent title.

There are actual gameplay elements missing from 06 that were skipped due to the rush to stores. The game was barely (if at all) playtested. The game was so embarrassing to the franchise that they retconned the entire events of its abortion of a story in the ending sequences. In addition, SEGA ordered that copies of the game be removed from the store so that no other unfortunate soul would have to endure its incompetence.

Either you are trolling, or you have no concept of what video game design means, as well as the inability to spot an unfinished product from another.

You may not like Colors, you may not like its story, gameplay, sound, design, WHATEVER. But to say that 06 provides a better experience than Colors is nothing short of incomprehensible.

Fuck, there, I said it.

 

[Dark Schala]

He only likes it because it "The Room'd" him.

[Emitan]

Trolling

 

[Dark Schala]

What does this mean?

His excitement is fuelled by the fact that it's so bad.

I think Shadow's better than Sonic 2006.

I think Sonic 2006 essentially The Room'd Anth0ny's brain. Look at how much fun we have watching other people suffer through the game. We could watch pokecapn's LP countless times because the team playing is fun to listen to. We can watch two people like Sega1991 and ShockingAlberto run through it for charity for hours. We love seeing mods like the Beloved Dog and the Pigeon in action. We can even make a Sonic 2006 LTTP thread several pages long because of discussion with regards to how bad/hilarious it is. We can even watch 2D remakes of the damn thing in action.

Like it or not, Sonic 2006 is an utterly captivating game. It may not be fun to play (I don't think it's fun to play at all, even while intoxicated), but it's exciting to watch.

I get that he likes it, but man I don't get the whole "it's better than Colours and Unleashed" part.

 

[qq more]

do you honestly have a burning hatred for BOOST gameplay or something enough to prefer 06? not to mention colors was not even a HOLD BOOST TO WIN game

 

[Emitan]

Colors barely had boosting. You were rarely boosting and it wasn't even the mach speed inducing boost from Unleashed and Generations.

Might as well hate spindashing with that logic. OMG YOU CAN MOVE FASTER

I could never dislike spindashing.

I could never dislike spindashing.

He used to come on IRC. I miss him.

 

[BlackJace]

What happened to him?

 

[Anth0ny]

its good to watch

not good to play

I thought it was fun to play

dodging glitches and all the fucked up shit was thrilling

unlike sonic "shitty physics and bad 2d segments" colors

are you saying colors has worse physics than sonic 06

 

[tiggerkiddo]

What is so great about Colors?

 

[Emitan]

What is so great about Colors?

It's a fun game that I streamed for SonicGAF.

 

[Anth0ny]

are you saying colors has worse physics than sonic 06

adventure physics>broken 06 adventure physics>boost physics

What is so great about Colors?

it's pretty and has great music

what the fuck?


ok im out

peace

 

[Emitan]

You are calling a broken game superior. I am done falling for your trolling.

 

[Pietepiet]

Jesus Christ. Can't we drop this shit already?

 

[Dark Schala]

We're tearing this thread apart.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Who cares about 06. There are plenty of other Sonic related stuff to talk about.

I think you guys secretly love 06!

 

[Emitan]

Are you saying we are tsundere?

 

[Professor Beef]

I'M SHUTTING DOWN THE STUDIO

 

[Dark Schala]

Yeah, you guys, I'm listening to a few soundtracks I feel like handing awards out to for the sake of handing awards out to, but the 2012 soundtrack uploaded for Sonic Before the Sequel is really fucking good.

Downpour - For Hilltop Heights Act 2 is one that caught my ear and I love the instrument samples used in this. I've talked about Invisible Realm - For Lost Levels Act 1 before, and man... I just can't help but to be incredibly impressed with this soundtrack.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

Colors barely had boosting. You were rarely boosting and it wasn't even the mach speed inducing boost from Unleashed and Generations.

Might as well hate spindashing with that logic. OMG YOU CAN MOVE FASTER

But what if I do dislike both boosting and spindash?

 

[Emitan]

But what if I do dislike both boosting and spindash?

 

[Nert]

But what if I do dislike both boosting and spindash?

That would mean that you dislike the core mechanics of just about every game in the series after the first one, I guess.
