Can we admit Sonic the Hedgehog is the thinking man's platformer?

[Anonymous No.8077128]

*ploop, splurt*

that's me taking a shit in your thread, faggot. sage.

[Anonymous No.8077138]

Hold right and sometime press the button. Which button? Doesn't matter, they all do the same thing.

Real thinking man.

What's thoughtful about it? It's a pretty straightforward game

all platformers are so fucking boring i dont see the appeal at all
i never liked mario as a kid and didnt find sonic interesting either. i still dont like mario games even the new one

> just run right as fast as you can

lose your rings from falling into a spike pit and die.
Yeah.

Classic Sonic games aren't all about speed. There's not much thinking in them as well, though.

[Anonymous No.8077404]

>>8077396
as long as you dont lose all rings you cannot die, just press right to win

[Anonymous No.8077405]

Have you ever been able to leap over fences or jump around outside or are you a fat lazy fuck who never ran in PE?

gimmick is the thinking mans platformer, there's a reason so many people are filtered by it

more of an action game than a platformer

I downloaded sonic mania and while the levels are cool looking they don't feel fun or satisfying toat traverse, half the content gets skipped or passes by too fast while I just hold right and jump and win, I don't know Wtf I'm doing but I beat a bunch of levels like this...It's like the casual version of casual baby platformers?

[Anonymous No.8078558]

>>8078548
You're just playing the game casually, it's obvious that you don't think too much of it. Now try to beat a couple levels by staying exclusively on the upper path (aka the non-shitter route) and get back to me.

[Anonymous No.8078578]

>>8078558
So the games are just this casual and easy unless you force some contrived limit on how you beat them?

[Anonymous No.8078590]

>>8078578
If casual and easy means you being a casual who's too stupid to improve and master a game, yes. But don't worry anon, there are plenty of games where you can just play on easy or use God mode cheats or something.

[Anonymous No.8078591]

Not liking genesis sonic is sign of pleb taste.

>play this easy game with one hand to make it interesting!
A game has to hook me with its substance, inherent challenge and mechanics before I consider mastering it lol

[Anonymous No.8078619]

The games beat themselves just hold right and spam jump to win, you get so many coins you're almost immortal

[Anonymous No.8078620]

Ask me how do I know this thread is full of zoomers who never ever played a 16-bit Sonic game.

[Anonymous No.8079051]

>>8077119
Only 8-bit Sonic which doesn't let you pick up rings after taking damage. The 16-bit Sonic games are for casual shitplayers.

[Anonymous No.8079057]

[Anonymous No.8079073]

>>8079051
Honestly think I like this one more (because of the way you find emeralds), but the original 16-bit one still blows me away in a lot of ways like the 3D graphics and special stages, and I started with 16 bit Sonic 2 and 3(&K).

[Anonymous No.8079079]

I thought of the Lost Vikings when I read thinking man's platformer.

"It's cool, we tried the jump once and we made it, so it should be easy, right."

Sonic is indeed the thinking man's platformer. Out running the screen is something Nintendo fans will never experience or understand.
>>8079051
Its been awhile but doesn't 8bit Sonic allow you to pick up at least one ring?

[Anonymous No.8079113]

>>8079050
back in the 1890s when Sonic came out you were probably 9 years old and hypnotized by the graphics, music and colors, not realizing how mechanically bad the platforming actually was.

Nah, in Sonic 1 on the MS the ring you're probably thinking of just falls offcreen, you can't pick it up. In Sonic 2 rings drop as with most games.

[Anonymous No.8079143]

>>8077119
Only the first game, CD and 8-bit games.

[Anonymous No.8079149]

Ah, Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Mega Tabulator. Now that was a game.

[Anonymous No.8079178]

>>8077405
god I wanna leap over fences again so badly

[Anonymous No.8079192]

>>8078578
The game is structurally designed around the idea of organizing difficulty by level height. If you're good enough, you can keep going through the higher, harder, faster paths, and avoid falling down to the longer/slower paths. if you're not that good yet, you take it easy and practice through the lower paths. It's not forcing a contrived limit: the game is evaluating player skill by means of the level design.

[Anonymous No.8079198]

is it painful to be this retarded?

[Anonymous No.8079203]

>>8079079

that's a good point

[Anonymous No.8079779]

sega consoles were for retarded, low iq kids back in the day. sonic's retarded level design appealed strongly to them!
