>they build a successful career around it
>they rewrite history and teach kids to hate games they never played

>>4797757
This applies so much to Sonic that it's actually started to affect the games.

>>4797764
>he thinks kids give a fuck about toy history

>>4797774
Only the 3D ones. The Genesis games are still held in high regard.

>>4797779
Wrongly might I add since they're no better than Bubsy with infinite health. Sonic never did anything special as far as gameplay goes, even the physics system was much better implemented by games like Pugsy.

>>4797764
He uncucked himself years ago MIKE.

>>4797779
Classic Sonic punish you for going fast xdddddd

>>4797807
It doesn't punish you enough with that ring system that basically gives you infinite health.

>>4797764
>>4797805
Mike is actually kind of the one who does this. James sucks at Sonic, but that's because he's clearly never played it or hardly played it, but he likes it...Mike is the one who makes comments about how it sucks expecting James to chime in, but he never does.

>>4797807
>Classic Sonic punish you for going fast xdddddd
And this is the reason.
>Hurrr muh obstacles, y they put them there if im sposed 2 go fast

>>4797807
Every time someone mentions the phrase "Gotta go fast" when discussing Sonic, you can safely disregard their opinion.

>>4797797
Name a better platformer.

>>4797828
I just did, Pugsy is a better physics platformer.

>>4797829
>literal Psygnosis Amiga trash

>>4797840
It's developed by an American company, Traveler Tales. Psygnosis was only a publisher not that it matters since even the worst Amiga platformer is still better than Shitsonic.

Egoraptor general?

>>4797846
Traveler's Tales is British.

>>4797862
>Traveler's Tales is British.

>>4797864
Different anon here. It fucking is British you meme-posting moron.

>>4797864
Yes, it is.

>>4797764
>>4797818
Its not just Sanic they suck at.

>>4797893
>dying at Sanic
Literally impossible as long as you grab 1 ring.

>>4797764
>>they rewrite history and teach kids to hate games they never played

I see this as a good thing, less competition and less money for resellers.

>>4797916
It's not that they die, it's that they don't know how to play.
>have close to a hundred rings and run past rings to the end of the level without getting the extra life while questioning the purpose of rings
>struggle to get up ramps because can't figure out how spindash works

>>4797797
Bubsy's sticky feet and one hit K.O. are not fun.

What if I told you Sonic games are actually good?

>>4797864
What a fucking retard.

lol

why all the hate to James?, hate Mike if you want, but Rolfe is pure

>>4798073
Memekids and Mike.

>>4798073
Even with how impatient James Rolfe is with games, I don't have it in myself to hate him. He just seems like a nice guy who can be a bit dopey.

>>4798128
same

>>4797757
>watching some retard on jewtube suck at a game they have never played
>cant grasp basic game mechanics and keep dying
>cant get past the first level and give up after 5 min
>WOW THIS GAME SUCKS mario for super nintendo is a much better game

>>4798152
As much as I hate to admit....that's right on point.

>>4797764
It's not his fault if kiddies don't get it. The original videos were all exaggerated rage at flaws in games he appreciated.

WHAT A SHITLOAD OF FUCK

I'D RATHER DRINK A BUFFALO'S DIARRHEA JUICE

>>4797757
>playing the game right
What are you a boomer?

Said every casual playing killer7 ever

>>4797807
As someone who's played a bit of Sonic and is somewhat bad at it, doesn't it punish you for going fast? Even if it's considered easy regardless, that doesn't mean that it doesn't punish you for going fast.

>>4798537
Speed being the main mechanic of the game doesn't mean you have to go fast 100% of the time with no control. Mario is about jumping, but if you jump all over the place like a retard you're most likely going to get killed by a goomba or fall into a pit. By that retarded logic, Mario punishes you for jumping.

How
>le sonic is about going fast but the game punishes you for doing so what a piece of shit xd
crowd can't get this is beyond me.

AAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

>>4798024
What if i told you WHAT THE FUCK IS A SONIC

>>4798537
Sonic is like racing. The parts people complain "punish" you are the corners. If you accelerate into a corner carelessly, you will crash. Just like racing, the key to playing Sonic well is learning how to slow down just enough when you need to, then blast back up to top speed as soon as you can.

>>4798152
Watching them suck at Doom 64 and then shit on it was awful.
