That thread in gaming about Sonic baffled me. It's always been obvious to me: Going consistently fast is your reward for learning the levels and playing well.

Otherwise you go slower and take things more carefully.

Sonic wad never good. Even as a kid I knew Mario was better.

No lies detected. I got a Gensis as a present for suffering through chicken pox and I remember playing Sonic 2 for like a couple hours and then never again. I also borrowed a friend's Sonic & Knuckles and I came nowhere close to finishing that either. It just never clicked with me.

I did buy Sonic Generations for $10 and enjoyed it though. But compared to even the worst mainline Mario games Mario shits all over Sonic.

Sonic Mania is a lot more than a nostalgia cash in. Even the remade stages do completely new things, are super creative and play with your expectations introducing entirely new mechanics.

Mania is all about going back to what made Sonic great. Odyssey is about going back to a tedious collectathon with shitty puzzles.

I do fear that Mario Odyssey will lose a lot of what the 3D games have shine at from Galaxy onwards. Mario is best when it's a linear obstacle course. Never liked the open collectathon bullshit. That's not Mario to me.

With that said the hat gimmick does seem fun so it should be a good time if it doesn't fall too hard in to the open world trap.

When I got my Genesis for Christmas I got 2 games with it, Sonic 2 and Rolling Thunder 2.

I played a lot of Rolling Thunder 2.
 

You're right. Sonic is Lesner in this situation where he's not always there but when he is he's lit. Big Show is Mario in that he's old, slow and always around but never does anything of worth.

Lmao everyone look at WrassleGAF's Corbin

Are you going to be more shook when you see Corbin retain his briefcase because Jinder had his foot under the ropes or when Odyssey bombs on metacritic?
 
Sonic Mania is HBK coming back from injury and being born again in video game form.
The series is gonna have its second wind without the attitude....just ignore that whole Forces thing.

Even if Sonic was good, which it isnt, the fact that the Sonic fanbase exists and is what it is makes me want to throw myself into a woodchipper.

See, I'm a little intrigued by the create-a-character aspect of Sonic Forces, but I know that whatever animal hero I make, someone will have created the exact same one and masturbated about it.

Sega really needs to fire Sonic Team already. They've proven time and time again that they're incompetent. The low of Forces after the high of Mania is gonna sting. But I'll do my best to ignore it.
 
Complain about Sonic and buy the same shitty WWE game every year.

Look, the fact that some people like to watch cartoon hedgehogs and bats fucking is way worse than those who watch and endorse a product who build multiple bad-guys around republican xenophobia and had an audience boo the Indian national anthem after Charlottesville.
