OMG (insert any game ever made) is garbage. Hope This thread trolls people

>>7191960
Pretty edgy take bro, hope someone gets mad at you.

I'm a zoomer and I could never get into it. I tried 1 and Mania and both seemed like shit to me. You move so fast that it turns it into a game of trial and error and memorization more than any sort of motor skill or on the fly reaction. Also, I'm not usually a framerate snob but 60fps is unironically not enough for a game like this. You just move so fucking fast that it's hard to see what's going on.

I feel like Sonic has been a meme since the very start. Its it was designed for the express purpose of showing how fast the Genesis hardware can run and providing a competitor to Mario, not being a fun game. It suffers from what I would call "top down design". They started a bunch of broad, arbitrary criteria like showing off the hardware and competing with Mario, and turned it into a game from the top down. This is the opposite of bottom-up design, which is how a good game should be made; you start by experimenting with the core gameplay loop, and slowly tweak it piece by piece into a game that feels fun to play.

Nobody gives a fuck what you think, zoomer

found the sega apologist

8-bit Mario is still awesome because the levels were designed in such a way that they progressively get harder without being impossible, while Sonic is just messy

memes werent a thing in 1991, kid

>>7191978
Dont care about Sega. Just pointing out how retarded you sound.

>>7191960
Get gud scrub

SONIC IS SUPREME. The ultimate games for the ultimate gamers. No platformer is as action packed, beautiful, and soulful as classic Sonic. Mario? Trite camp bullshit. Donkey Kong? Obnoxious, dated, ugly.

It's a figure of speech gramps.

It's a meme in the sense that people like it because it's a symbol of Sega as a whole and it makes them feel like they're a part of the fanbase, not because the games are well designed.

>>7191991
Nah, peopled liked Sonic games because they were breathtaking action platformers that had mind blowing physics engine never before seen in video games, as if pinball itself became adapted into the platform genre. It's fucking brilliant, on top of the amazing timeless rocking music, great story, beautiful graphics, and loads of character and charm, you're simply a faggot if you don't like Sonic and simply a retard if you don't have a blast playing his classic games. Sonic is way passed cool, and you're way passed being a fucking faggot.

Is this pic supposed to convince me? Top level is a fucking mess. Like some level designer just vomited their unedited thoughts onto a canvas. The bottom is carefully refined to be fun yet accessible and teach you the basics of the game. Sonic just drops you driectly into their confusing rat maze levels.

>>7191978
Are you really implying that Sonic games are hard?

>>7192007
Did you ever play the top level? Can actually describe what you mean using concrete examples and terms and not arbitrary shit like "messy" or "fun yet accessible"?

>>7192005
>>7192007
the sonic garbage looks more like a Lemmings level. what were they thinking?

So, it needs to be acknowledged we're being spammed by some troll faggot. Against the rules.

There were barely a handful of sections between all 3 of Sonic, Sonic 2 and Sonic 3&K that sent you barelling into hazards at high speeds. And Sonic 2's are the only ones that kill you. Start with 3&K if you want to give the series an honest shot, because it's largely a game about choosing paths, and if you fail you just continue playing on a worse route of the stage, not life or death challenge.

>Can't play the game due to having the skills of a blind chimp with no arms - must be the game's fault.

>memorization
yes, that's the point. The genesis game still had an arcade attitude.
If you're new to playing them just going slower will make it work until you get to know the game.

>>7191960
This is your brain after only playing sonic 1

>>7192005
>average Mario level
>first level of the game
Who do you think you're fooling? Anyways labryinthine != good, so even if your image were representative of both games it wouldn't make Sonic better

>>7192824
You have already lost.

Reminder: Mario outsells Zoomhog 5:1.

nincels going full damage control over a blue rodent shows how they let it live rent free in their heads.

>>7195982
At least Sega doesn't go after fangames with C&Ds. Get fucked pumber simp.

>>7196027
Because Sega can't due to Sega being poor developers who blew all their cash on shit hardware.

Keep talking shit and you'll get Gunpei'd.
