I had a fun time playing them. Are you saying I was mistaken? A lot of people like to quantify fun and measure it against the other things but whatever, to me an hour of Sonic Adventure is a fun hour and I'm not gonna waste time stacking it against something else. No one can convince you that you're gonna have a good or bad time with this game, it's worth playing to find out.

Ignoring all the bait, modded SADX is absolutely the best way to play on a PC. The mods do an amazing job at bringing back all that was changed since the DC version, and with all the perks of being on PC.

Of course, they're not perfect, and are still a wip, but short of having a VGA'd Dreamcast, it is the purest way to play, especially when pared with a good CRT.

PC version with mods looks great on my Sony GDM-FW900 CRT monitor, especially at a 16:10 widescreen resolution of 2304x1440p.
It's the best of both worlds: you get the high resolution and widescreen of PC with mods but you also get that CRT feel like plugging in a Dreamcast via. VGA.

Steam version + BetterSADX, literally the most polished and customizable version of the game. You can make it look basically identical to the DC version just in 4K widescreen + HD HUD, including OG models and lighting. OR you can choose to use the Gamecube models for better graphics. Plus you can enable many cool optional mods like Super Sonic being playable in any level after beating the game and collecting 50 rings.

>> No.6576961

PC version with DC Conversion, Lantern Engine, HD GUI 2, Fixes Adds and Beta Restores, Super Sonic, SA Retranslated, Input Mod, Dreamcast Characters w/ Uekawa-Accurate Colors, SADX Fixed Edition, Dreamcast DLCs, and the cheat for shorter Light Speed Dash chargeup time

SA2 was dogshit compared to the first. Dropped the comfy hub world and added shit characters. Giving each character their own stage was stupid too. It was cooler to see areas of a stage that aren't accessible, making it seem larger and giving you a reason to want to explore it with another character. Couldn't even finish it.

SA1 has been on PC since 2003. Meanwhile, PC didn't get SA2 until 2012. I'd imagine that would have something to do with it. That being said, I find it funny that Sega has always done hilariously late PC ports of their games, guess old habits die hard.

You're stupid. Sonic 3D Blast wasn't just licensed by Sega, they were actually plenty involved in development, it's soundtracked by in-house Sega staff, and Traveler's Tales and Sega were very tight back in those times. I think TT was even considered a second party developer for a while. Sega didn't trust many third parties with the Sonic license, but they definitely trusted TT. TT didn't even come up with the idea, Sega went to THEM and pitched THEM the game. Sonic Team themselves also made the special stages for the Saturn version.

Nah fuck off with that noise. SA2 isn't as good as SA1 when it comes to stage design and lacking the hub but the gameplay is still solid and concerning narrative and animations it shits all over SA1. Also there's no way you just called Shadow shit, his running animation alone throws him so far past cool that he makes Sonic look like a fucking nerd.

To make things even more confusing, the original Sonic Adventure was released numerous times on PC, including TWICE on Steam. I was always under the impression that Sonic Adventure PC was older than 2004, I thought it was a 2002 game at the latest.
