>>3502354
wait did you play the US version or the Jap/Euro version?

>>3502354
It's alright

Take a chance

'cuz there is no circumstance

that you can't handle

when you use your mind~

"Nothing can survive the will to stay alive"

literally what did they mean by this

>>3502380
If you're determined and confident like Sonic is, you're invincible and you can kill anything.

why do his eyes look like goggles

>>3502384
that seems like a dangerous message to be sending out!

>>3502354
ugh yeah i reblogged a lot of headcanons about how Sonic is probably already dead and the whole game is just Amy's coma dreams trying to cope with the loss of Sonic

>>3502390
Sonic is a dangerous dude with attitude that doesn't play by anyone's rules.

>>3502391
Sonic is harder to kill than Chirico Cuvie, there's no way he's dead

>>3502394

>>3502394
Or that's just how Amy saw him before her coma ;(

>>3502405
it's not that funny, anon

I don't need a video game's help to feel like killing myself.

sonic cd US gives a weird melancholy vibe the end version of sonic boom makes me cryball for some nostalgic rasin

>>3502354
Yeah it's shit. Playing one of 1-S&K should perk you back up.

>>3502362
pretty sure he's saying 'did you have a blast man?' when it says ???

It's Sonic Boom. It has that "we've been through some shit, haven't we?" feeling.

I get the same feels with this game:

>>3502354
never could get warm with the game, tried a few times, gave up, maybe its because the levels are too bland and boring

>>3502354
When I play it? Of course

>>3502530
What the fuck.

This is how the game starts out?

>>3502530
>dragging your pregnant wife by the arm making her run in the rain
>because you wouldn't want her to get wet right?

>>3502354
The US version? Absolutely. It's incredibly melancholic, but weirdly enjoyable as a result. It's nearly all down to the music though, it still amazes me how a soundtrack can change the tone of something that much. The only similar experience I've had to it was watching Metropolis with a different soundtrack each time.

>>3502568

that is every sonic game

>>3502406

>>3502391
Someone redpill me on this theory. I've never heard it before.

>>3502354
It is depressing to think about that people consider it the best 2d Sonic game, when it has the most boring level design out of all the 2d sonic games. The spin dash is awful too, and the game slows down and drops frames all the time.

Other than the music and the FMVs, the game doesn't offer much anything special... and the FMVs can't shine because the Sega CD can't handle that well, and the music got ruined in the USA release.

>>3504481
I like the game because I like the ideas that were in it. But I'm not going to pretend that they were executed as well as they could have been.

I find it unfortunate when people just shit on games because the mechanics didn't exactly work out in stead of enjoying seeing what was being tried by the devs.

>>3502368
He probably played the US version since the Jap/EU version is more upbeat and party like than the more grim soundtrack of the american version.

>nostalgic rasin
You rang?

>>3504814
literally what

>>3502354
You talking US or JAP?

I can't stand the US Ost. Ruins everything cool they did with the music.

As for JAP, I find the whole thing up early and energetic. The ending track is a little depressing, but then in crescendos into the whole "you can do anything part". As someone with little self confidence and a lot of self loathing, it never fails to get to me.

>>3502354
>Does anyone find Sonic CD really depressing? I don't want to live anymore.

If I was anything more than a wannabe janitor I would permanently ban your ass off here for spouting such outrageous blasphemies.

This is literally the most wrong opinion in this universe right now, within every past and future time. Might as well say that 2 + 2 = 5 or that Earth is flat.

This game is not just for your entertainment, or for SEGA's profit. It never was. This game is a gift from God almighty gained through the souls of Japanese people to put us into contact with our inner selves so that we can resonate with nature and the world around us to find our own purpose and not put the time we spend in this plane of existence to waste. It was designed with the sole purpose of making you feel good, beloved and useful to the community.

You act selfishly and want to deprive the world of your talent, your genius, your sensitivity. You're not cool like Sonic is. He knows what's up, what life's about, and how to play the part in his own cycle. You should listen to half the words he has to say.

The game often tries to tell you don't have to give up, you don't have to stop, find a thing you truly believe in and let it never get away from you, let it guide you instead. The art style and choice of instrumentation/music makes you appreciate the good in the world and be wary of the bad in it, where things could go wrong and you don't even realize it because you're too much engulfed to even recognize the glimmers of hope and good left somewhere, waiting to be noticed. Just listening You Can Do Anything alone saved me from a lot of dangerous cliffs my life was going to fall into, the sheer willpower of life breathing through that song is astronomical.

tl;dr Play it again with the JP/EU soundtrack you massive faggot. And make sure songs have the vocals. A good version is the 910 proto, works fine with the US SEGA CD and it's functionally the Japanese release.

these low level espers sometimes haha

>Save Little Planet from all the bad futures and free it from Robotnik's control
>4-2 comes along and says that Bad Futures are canon and ends with it trapped in Eggman's Space Station

>>3502354
No

>>3502362
>because michael jackson is dead?
Wrong game that was Sonic 3

>>3502503
>Yeah it's shit.
No
It's the worst out of the classics but it's still a good game

>>3503972
I dunno the Jap one has that nostalgic vibe too in some parts like the beginning to the ending theme "Cosmic Eternity-Believe in Yourself" or Quartz Quadrant Present/Good Future or Stardust Speedway Good Future

>>3504481
>It is depressing to think about that people consider it the best 2d Sonic game
Nah most people(i.e plebs etc.) consider 2 the best one
Most sonic fans consider 3&K the best one

CD has a big hipster cult following but it doesn't even have as big of a fanbase as crappy games like Sonic Adventure 2

>>3506287
>4-2
Kill yourself please that never happened

>>3506367
Sonic 3&K is a janky ass slidey fucking thing with not-real physics and too many gimmicks to be fun. It's painful to play when you just jump around on this amusement park shit for toddlers.

The only bad stage in Sonic CD on the other hand is wacky workbench holy shit what were they thinking

>>3506434
It's actually pretty clever.

They wanted to invert the difficulty of the higher and lower paths.
But they forgot to remove the deadends from the upper path.
