I had a horrible time with Sonic at first and thought the damn game was broken. 32 years old, playing for the first time. Said fuck it and kept trying. You just have to figure it out. Love the game now. If you can't figure it out watch out "let's play" Ya dummies.

Not the OP, but IMO it feels really bad when you lose momentum in sonic, which the game forces you to do. If you try to clear the level fast in Mario you usually don't have to stop, of course you have to make adjustments and obviously be very precise, but the feeling of speeding through the level is still there.

[Anonymous No.3747697]

Consider perhaps acquiring proficiency.

[Anonymous No.3747706]

The problem is honestly a mix of marketing and Sonic 2 being extremely easy most of the way through. You can just brute force 2/3 of the stages in that game and quickly at that, and it's the best seller of Sonic's 2D games, so people thought of the outlier as the norm.

1 is more about teaching you mechanics and structure while CD and 3K focus on different forms of exploration. Going super fast was part of the learning curve and a reward for understanding sections and concepts.

[Anonymous No.3747709]

There are plenty of parts in the game that move fast. The purpose was to show off the Genesis' DMA to developers, which was significantly faster than the SNES' DMA, meaning that you were able to update more screen tiles every frame.

A lot of first party titles are just tech demos to sell the console to 3rd party developers.

It's an arcade game. You are supposed to figure out the levels, to learn how to avoid getting punished. Also, going fast is not the goal, it's just a reward if you are good enough, plus bonus eye candy.

>>3747709
>The purpose was to show off the Genesis' DMA to developers, which was significantly faster than the SNES' DMA, meaning that you were able to update more screen tiles every frame.

Sonic doesn't even do DMA, other than once per level when it switches out the title card font to badniks, and once again in the end to switch out badniks to the score tally screen and the robot egg you bust open. The actual levels themselves all run entirely out of RAM.

What Sonic did showcase was
- colourful and detailed graphics (remember, most people at the time had a NES)
- multiple layers of parallax
- shitload of sprites on screen, like when you lose rings or when you get invincibility and leave a trail of stars
- gigantic levels
- and on top of all that, you had the ability to speed around so fast that no console before could.

And the series peaked at Sonic 2. CD and 3K had levels so huge that they became boring, since they all took a long time to finish but offered near zero challenge. 2 had smaller levels and they were filled with more action.

[Anonymous No.3748529]

>>3747625
You don't get punished for going fast. You get punished for being unable to memorize the locations of enemies. You get rewarded for going slow if you collect every fucking ring and find all the alternate paths with secrets. It's smart to do this and rack up lives in the first few easy levels so you can get a lot of practice with the later ones and learn not to fuck up on them.

Anyway all this recent Sonic hate is annoying. I want to think it's Nintendrones but someone mentioned youtubers so I'm guessing a /v/illage is missing it's idiots. You fucking children need to get off my board.

Yeah, that's kind of the problem with the original Sonic games. You often get punished for going fast. He has slow acceleration too. So on average Sonic moves slower than Mario. You have to play levels several times and commit everything to memory to find opportunities to go fast.

We can say for sure they weren't alive in 1991. Given what video games looked like back then, you cannot forget the awe you felt the first time you saw Green Hill Zone. The first time you lost your rings. The first time you had to fight Robotnik with his giant ball. The speed. The colors. The music. It felt like a work of art from another planet that instantly turned the other platformers into negligible, tedious, ugly little things.

That's what crybabies who started video games with their Wii can't understand.

>The actual levels themselves all run entirely out of RAM.

That statement literally doesn't make sense and I don't think you know what DMA is. DMA is a method of rapidly transferring data from ROM/RAM to VRAM, and it's used extensively to fill out the scroll plane tables in Sonic and virtually every other scrolling game on the console (hell, DMA is used in virtually every game on every console). You can't run the plane table "out of RAM", that's not how the hardware works, it's by definition stored in VRAM and is required to be updated regularly, unless you're claiming a level is only 128 tiles wide.

As far as I'm aware Sonic doesn't use DMA to transfer tile pattern data during gameplay if that's what you're talking about, but neither do most games (with the exception of some animation techniques). Tile data is far from the only thing that Genesis stores in VRAM, though.

In racing you can see turns coming. With Sonic the screen is too small to know when it's safe to go fast. You have commit an entire stage to memory in order to get the most use out of Sonic's high speed gimmick. This is like playing a racing game that only let's you see 30ft in front of you.

[Anonymous No.3749693]

>>3749673
You must have some godawful reflexes.

Do you know how you go fast in Sonic? Practice. You have to learn the levels.

Do you think that a race driver who drives on a circuit he's never done before will get a record lap the first time, just because "he can see the turns coming"? No, the first time he'll be moving A LOT slower, learning the lines and braking points for each corner. Then, after a lot of practice, he can move through the course at a constantly high speed. This is exactly how Sonic works.

This trend of, "Sonic sucks because you can't just go fast with no effort" is coming from incompetent, whiny players that refuse to even consider that their skills are lacking, and then scramble to blame anything and everything for their awful playing. That's pretty fucking sad considering this is the easiest platformer series after Kirby.

Your first lap will certainly not be a record breaker, but you CAN see quite a distance in front of you. So even on your first lap you can generally tell where you should accelerate and decelerate. The same cannot be said about Sonic. You would need a 15 foot wide screen for this to apply to Sonic.

>This trend of, "Sonic sucks...
I never said Sonic sucks. I'm just pointing out what I perceive to be a significant flaw.

>whiny players that refuse to even consider that their skills are lacking, and then scramble to blame anything and everything for their awful playing.
Stop projecting. I've beaten the original games. They're solid games. I and many other players just find it tedious to have to memorize the stages in order to get good use out of Sonic's high speed.

Nearly all Sonic levels have several long, open paths where you CAN go fast without any trouble. Also, most of the stuff that break your momentum are just ledges or item boxes that don't damage you.

Even if you do run into enemies or spikes suddenly (which I don't remember happening often even when I first played Sonic), you can easily regain your lost rings. I don't get how any of this is tedious or unpleasant.

>Nearly all Sonic levels have several long, open paths where you CAN go fast without any trouble.
Yeah but you still need to develop a strong familiarity with the stages to know which paths are safe to do so, which is the entire point I am trying to get at.

>Also, most of the stuff that break your momentum are just ledges or item boxes that don't damage you.
Perhaps on some early stages, but not so much on the later ones.

>Even if you do run into enemies or spikes suddenly (which I don't remember happening often even when I first played Sonic), you can easily regain your lost rings. I don't get how any of this is tedious or unpleasant.
If you're new to the game you must farm for lives in order to increase your odds of beating the game. In order to do this you have to collect a hundred coins so getting hit and losing them is a big deal (they could have fixed this problem by allowing coins to be carried over to the next level). This means you often have to avoid the high risk of moving fast.
If you're not new to the game, you don't have to farm for lives since you've already played through the game and went through the process of trial & error and you pretty much know everything that's in store for you. Thus you can afford to lose coins &, in addition, you generally know which spots are safe for high speed.

the entire point of the ring system is to make it hard for the player to die out of nowhere because they didn't know what was coming, since you only need one ring
there is no need to farm lives in Sonic in any way, it's hard to die in the Genesis trilogy to anything other than bottomless pits, which are placed strictly in slower-paced sections of the stage

>>3749796
>Yeah but you still need to develop a strong familiarity with the stages to know which paths are safe to do so
in any game with any actual stage design, you need this anyway, you can't just rush ahead and expect to win without knowing, and Sonic still provides opportunities for speed even without having seen the stages
the layouts don't discourage the player from running ahead since they usually slow the unaware player down before major danger (while providing a visible way to avoid the slow down so when you come back, you can zip past the area)

This is true, when Sonic is going full speed any stop is a skid to sudden halt and then it takes a good 10 seconds of running to gain any real speed again. Thanks to the level design you're usually on a hill and then you end up going back and forth like a pendulum, the Spin Dash rectifies this but it's still horrible to lose your speed and have to spin back up every 2 seconds.

The only halfway tricky thing Sonic did was the mid screen palette change for the water effect (not a big deal), some linescrolling on the background (also not a big deal), and maybe the ripple effects in Labyrinth Zone (JP version only).

Sonic wasn't some demo for developers. It just had very colourful graphics, quite advanced physics for its time well suited for running around, and the ring-damage system that made it very fun to play.

>the Sonic games, especially 3, just throw lives at you.

I once played Sonic & Knuckles (no Sonic 3) explicitly for getting as high score and lives as possible, I think I got something around 120 by the end. Had 5-600 rings on average per stage, WITH Supersonic.

This was without Sonic 3, which gives you 6 more stages worth of signposts to play bonus games on.

A younger target audience would have far less expectations regarding quality and features, so yes, quality IS related to target audience.

I'm saying that he's whining about a children's game being too difficult, you dense cumguzzling faggot. As in literal children can clear Sonic games without much trouble.

The retards that push the "ur supposed to go fast but u get hit!!!" horseshit apparently can't match the skill and reflexes of a fucking five year old, and their brainpower seems to be lagging behind that level as well.

I'm honestly shocked that its common nowadays for people to complain about sonic games punishing you.

They were the easiest fucking platformers after Kirby for crying out loud.

OP are you baiting or are you really this much of a casual?

Do you think taking damage in beat em ups is "punishment" as well?

What is the punishment that you're talking about? Running into walls, pits, and robots?

Going fast was just a marketing scheme to differentiate Sonic from Mario and other platformers.

Green Hill Zone is really the only section that allows you to carelessly "go fast". Sonic is still a fun platformer, despite it.

I agree with this. I grew up with Sonic but I only really liked it when we got a Sonic & Knuckles because Knuckles lets you go sort of fast without losing your momentum all the time.

I much preferred playing Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Super Mario World. Looking back and revisiting those titles I see it's because they have much less dissonance in their game design. It's not about difficulty (zombies gets hard as fuck) but the fun parts of those games don't contradict each other nearly as much as in the 2D Sonic's.

If you like memorizing games like you're playing an instrument I can see how it would be fun though.

I can't believe that you are actually claiming it takes hours of practice to beat a fucking Sonic game. You're saying that there is dissonance in the game design, but the dissonance disappears if you learn how to respond to threats and figure out how to maintain Sonic's momentum by paying attention to how the character moves off of hills, slopes, and jumps.

Again: It is a game for small children. If you claim you are constantly running into shit, if you claim it takes rigorous effort to not die, you have failed to clear the skill floor of a children's game.
