Why the fuck did they make the game start off with a boss fight? How am I supposed to know how to play

>>6703216
Read the manual.

>>6703216
And over here we can see the reason why modern games overdo handholding and tutorials. Thanks zoomie.

>>6703216
The game plays itself half the time. It's so bad that they had to make random parts of the stage explode in later levels to feign challenge and depth to the game. You could be legit braindead retarded and beat the first game. Just take 1 look at anyone who talks positively about the Dreamcast and tell me I'm wrong.

>>6703216
Because it literally tells you the moment the game starts, zoomer.

>>6703216
there's this concept of figuring out the controls
you see unlike modern games, the developers didn't treat players (including 1-digit year old kids) as dumbasses

great contribution to the thread, anon

Why is the light dash tutorial in the sewer so broken? This game was ezpz until I got literally stuck.

Everything in the game is broken. I enjoy the classic Sonic games, but the SA games (and all 3D Sonic games, really) are a fucking mess.
6/10 at best.

>>6703191
This makes no sense and looks chock full of faggy fan theory.

>>6703191
There is no such thing as terrifying games. Pic unrelated.

>>6703191
>sonic
>terrifying

grow up.

It's just an unfinished glitchy mess that has been memed to death with zoomer creepypasta shit by redditors like yourself

>>6703216
The game literally tells you how to do a homing attack. Come on now anon I beat this game when I was seven years old.

>>6705437
you're slipping pretty far there anon. Stay with us.

>>6705315
But my wife's son said that Sonic Adventure is terrifying.

>>6704936
You're shit at the game. 8 year old me did it first try

Hi DSPGaming

>>6703191
I don't think there's been any game so rushed and thrown together in a few months that's inspired so much retrospective hype and speculation. That's just what a furry fan-community cult will do.

Is it really that bad? I’ve been meaning to try out some 3D Sonic games after having fun with Generations. Also, original or DX?

>>6707723
Original has more soul graphics, DX has much better Chao gardens. For just the main game I'd do original.

>>6707723
DX with DC conversion mod

As annoying as the iceberg images are, I really loved this video explaining the mario 64 one:

I'd love another explaining the sonic adventure one

>>6705769
Genuine question, how? I acknowledge that I’m shit at the game, but it literally tells you (over and over and over again) to stand on the spot, line up with the rings, press and hold until it actually vocally says “ready”, then release. Doing exactly that yields me running full force into the wall. Adding a jump doesn’t seem to help.
And every time I turn around to try again I need to make sure I don’t walk through the broken wall in the tunnel.

Maybe you should face towards the rings instead of standing next to them

>>6707723
It's honestly not, I maintain what I said that it's over-rated for what it is, but I'd say it's worth a playthrough. It's just not in the same league as the original trilogy, Knuckles, or CD.

The trouble is a lot of the experience is discordant, inconsistent, and gimmicky. I would say when it's good, it's really good. The action stages are good but have limited replay value. You just can't take the whole thing too seriously. The soundtrack is fantastic, and while the graphics certainly haven't held up it's still a bright, engaged, and breezy game.

Also, as >>6708276 said if you don't have a Dreamcast play the PC version with the Dreamcast Conversion mod. No other version of the game, such as the original PC, Gamecube, Xbox 360 and PS3 HD ports, should even be on the table. These versions are ported from the PC port, and have all of the same issues. Not only are there a ton of graphical bugs and inconsistencies, the gameplay is severely hampered, many of the bosses have their AI routines broken as just one example.

The DC conversion mod is ridiculously thorough and well-done, and easy to install. It also offers full HD resolution fixes, you simply change your resolution to whatever your monitor's is, though 4:3 is recommended for the authentic experience.

It's free on moddb, and if you really want to learn more about how the "DX" version went wrong and how this mod set things right again, the website dreamcastify dot unreliable dot network is an information hub that extensively breaks this down.

I mean I did, and that video shows nothing on how to actually do what the game wants you to do. But I’m probably still going to waste another half hour tonight trying to do whatever is necessary because getting filtered by a tutorial in a 20 year old game for children is not on my agenda.

>>6703242
cry more

>>6708851
>mfw I know how to do it in mid air
>mfw I know the game will force you to at one point

anon i hate to tell you this but you might actually have some sort of learning disability

Hello game journalist have your drink your cebollitas today

>>6703216
Why do so many people pretend to be retards on this board to get (you)s? I know I'm falling for the bait by replying but seriously, it's so boring and stops real discussion from happening because we're baited into explaining or justifying basic shit to someone pretending to be a dumb toddler.

>>6707705
It actually took about a year to develop. But honestly that just makes the shittiness stick out more.
