I genuinely fail to see how Sonic Adventure is worse than Spyro which is lauded as 'one of the greatest gen 5 platformers'. For some reason you are simply not allowed to like SA on the internet

>>9900790
because it's a fun game, and if it's fun then it's also good

Because it isn't.

Because lying is a sin

>>9900810
Nice try Sonictard

>>9900790
it's fun but the english translation was insultingly lazy. games like crash bandicoot 2 had better lip syncing and voice acting

>>9900790

It's not bad. It's not good. It's average. (Which compared to the later 3D Sonic games is saying something).

>>9900790
Because it's not a bad game.

>>9900790
its ok, I'll give it 6/10

>>9900790
>people whine about American Sonic media like the Satam cartoon and the comics not being real Sonic
>okay
>Sega shits out these 3D sonic games that have a crappy "realistic" look instead of the style from the earlier games, also with fully voice acted stories about emo furries
>OH WOW BASED yummy yummy zoomslop

>>9900904
>a crappy "realistic" look
Sonic Adventure looks like anime, what are you talking about? What fucking zoomerslop this is a Dreamcast game jesus christ

>>9900790
because its a good game unlike the sony platformers of the era like spyro and specially naughty dog slop

Imagine buying a game that looks like a shitty fan project with textures and models that look even more like stock library garbage than fucking mario 64 instead of something actually good like Crazy Taxi.

>>9900790
Why would I have to admit that a good game is bad THOUGH

>>9900790
I don't get it. What exactly is unsure about this? What is the game doing wrong here?
Sonic turns really nicely, his acceleration is really satisfying, jumping feels great, and the levels are spacious and filled with plenty of clever opportunities to utilise the physics.

>>9900916
The fuck are you smoking, SA is one of the most aesthetically pleasing games from the 90s

>>9900926
*unfun about this

>>9900927
It looks like rancid dogshit covered in vomit, then again that's what you like the most by the looks of it.

>>9900927
kino
>>9900932
You should write Irate Gamer or Game Dude reviews

>>9900932
What 3D game from the 90s doesn't look like rancid dogshit covered in vomit?

>>9900790
It's the equivalent of a B movie, not a bad game.

>>9900931
Niggers played the shitty ports with more bugs and worse controlls and they naturally assume the game is shittier than it is.

>>9900790
It's not bad. I won't admit it. It had very fun parts I still remember to this day.

>>9900989
I never noticed the ports controlling badly. I haven't come across glitches in these ports either, but I admit that might be because I played the Dreamcast version to death and so might approach the game in a way that happens to avoid DX-specific glitches

>>9900790
it is a bad game it's stretched out garbage (you know this is why they had you play through it with a billion different characters). Anyways I love all the sonic levels, and chaos.

>>9900790
I recently played through the original on Sonic's levels and I have to say that it is a buggy mess. The movement gets screwed up every time the camera angle changes because the devs didn't compensate for it. The collision is buggy in some places so you get hung up on objects in unexpected places. Great aesthetics though

>>9900790
>a good game can't be flawed
fuck off.

>>9900790
could've used more stages like windy valley, that level is great.
overall i'd place the game somewhere between mediocre and good.

>>9900790
Who is saying this? Sonic or Tails?

>>9900793
Spyro does what it does well. Sonic does 5 things ok to bad.

>>9900790
>Why can't you just admit the sky is green, it's not that fucking hard

>A B movie or B film is a low-budget commercial motion picture. In its original usage, during the Golden Age of Hollywood, the term more precisely identified films intended for distribution as the less-publicized bottom half of a double feature (akin to B-sides for recorded music).

How exactly does that make it look good? Reality check: B movies aren't made by multibillion dollar companies. SA1 was one of the most expensive games ever made on release, and intended to be a launch title for a next gen console - that isn't a B movie.

>>9901017
I know that the turning is kinda fucked in the ps3 version but I never noticied any signicant bugs besides that infamous emerald coast one.

Why is sonic so popular with ESL folks?

>>9900916
To be fair, the textures are from photos they took to their trip to Peru for research.

>>9901371
Mega Drive was more popular than Super Nintendo in pretty much every country except the US and Japan. But Sonic's biggest fanbase is still in America though

>>9901360
Just shows how much more effort they put into SA1 compared to Mario 64. The latter's bland and empty levels, deviating from traditional Mario gameplay, clearly demonstrate a lack of commitment.
