Replaying this game is such a chore.
Its level design is easily the worst of the all the 3D Sonic games barring 06, dear god.
It some redeeming values for sure, like solid physics and a stellar soundtrack.
But it's not enough to consider it a good game. You have to be blinded with nostalgia to think that.

Eternal Engine was the final straw. Fuck that shit, only a masochist could possibly like it. There's no way that garbage was playtested.

The level design is easily better than Heroes, Unleashed, and Colours

Cosmic Wall is probably the best 3D level in any sonic game ever

God I love the level design. Easily the best of the 3D Sonics.

>Heroes
Imagine thinking the cramped, asset-flipped level design that is characteristic of SA2 is better than the glorious levels from Heroes.
The gameplay sucked, but its level design was otherwise great.

>>8397058
Like I said, it has its moments. But all the bad aspects balance out the enjoyment that I could have otherwise had from it.

Why are Sonic fans always so fucking butthurt when someone has an opinion?

>> No.8397074

>>8397068
The level design of heroes is more restrictive than SA2 never mind that Heroes doesn't even have the physics. SA2 by virtue of having physics automatically allows the player to interface with the level in dozens of ways

it's better than the first adventure at least. but colors is the best 3d sonic imo, everything else is fanfic tier. music has always been great though.

Nice contradiction, fucktard. You just can't handle criticism.
Oh, and by the way. I never implied that eternal engine was unbeatable. all the BS it had just killed off my desire to play the game further.
whose fucking idea was it to punish the player for shooting in a mech-stage? If an enemy is positioned close to a dynamite it's nearly impossible to destroy it without also locking on the dynamite.

i mean yeah it just doesn't really do anythin offensively bad frankly. the game is fun. and sonic's dialogue isn't cringekino, it's actually kinda funny.

if they tried new shit that wasn't retarded i'd love it. sadly, they don't.

Agreed, OP
I was a card-carrying Sonic autist who didn't draw anything but Sonic shit for YEARS.
Now that I think about it though, SA2 cured me of that autism, so I guess I'm grateful for that at least.khmvw

I don't know how anyone can view Sonic Adventure beyond something that is messy, weird, and something that we've all now accepted as normal. 3D Sonic and the Star Wars Prequels are so similar it's not even funny.

So these games were cringe right? I remember being a suburban 10 year old white kid (the PRIME demographic for these games) and cringing at the dialog in adventure 1/2

yeah, I can't imagine being interested in the story of sonic games unless you're below the age of 12.
furries doing edgy shit is the cringiest thing ever.

Yep, I was 11 when SA2 came out and it was mega cringe. I remember seeing SA1 at my friend’s, and the opening level where you’re chased by the killer whale or something on the dock looked sick but then I tried playing it and thought it was a fucking mess.
Only 5 year olds that grew up playing SA2:DX on their older brother’s GameCube unironically think Sonic Adventure is good.

Why do people keep getting filtered by this game? I've been playing it since I was 10 years old, and while it is quite janky by today's standards, I've never been bothered by the story, dialogue or level design. I hate the jumpscare ghosts though.

>> No.8399012

I believe it's a meme by this point. There were so many Adventure hate/love discussions, it's just became a tradition to post new one every week or so. And each time it gets replies so no wonder they are keep going.

The very idea of adults trying to rank and research plot writing and gameplay value of a game made for 12 year olds doesn't make sense. It's not a fucking War and Peace book, you can't do it with serious intentions.

The thing is, everybody loved Adventure games when I was a teen. Me, my friends, who never were into furry shit, other Sonic fans I've found online. Gaming magazines gave SA2 ten out of fucking ten. It was the coolest thing you can imagine and nobody complained about a single issue.

Years later, Sonic 2006 happened, and yesterday's teens became adults. Suddenly the game is not so good and Sanic is bad cringe.

I wonder what could happen if Sonic didn't slip on that year and 2006 game wasn't a goddamn mess. Could it still be AAA-tier franchise or just last a bit longer before falling down anyway?
