Does anyone ever play through Sonic Adventure and think "cor blimey this speed is tearing my retinas to shreds, I better dive into some Big the Cat fishing to unwind and chill out before tackling the next fun stage"? they'd die if they played Sonic 2.
Not only do we have the field areas but there's other characters with some lighter gameplay anyway, Big is just one big "why?", were Sega testing out fishing mechanics for their upcoming Sega Bass Fishing 2?

I have never beaten Ruby or Emerals, I got a gold chocobo the legit way.
I thought it was fun personally.
Also fuck Joe and Teioh.

Getting all emblems in SA1 feels like much less of a pain than SA2.
I just don't like SA2 nearly as much as I used to.
Yeah, though it kinda sucked when it didn't unlock anything in the DC version.

Never played it enough to form an opinion, but what I've seen hasn't exactly instilled me with confidence.
Eh, I didn't really start feeling disappointed in the series until Heroes. Maybe Shuffle, I hated that game, but I liked Adventure 2 immediately following, so eh.
I can't say as Drift or Drift 2 really do anything for me. I recall really really wanting Drift 2 as a kid, but I never ended up getting it. Just as well; it's kind of like an impotent Outrun kind of game, all things considered. Sorry, but I can't see circuits with that kind of game, I just see myself driving endlessly forward, with some twists in the road. Mario Kart it ain't.
I love the concept of SkyPatrol, but the only time I played through it was a save-scumming experience of the highest order. It's just kinda eh. Interesting how they opted to use a bunch of original characters as the villains instead of Eggman. I mean, Witchcart? I won't say it's genius (it's kinda dumb actually), but I find the idea amusing as heck. Same goes for Tails Adventure with the Battlekukku Army, I suppose, but they're not as bizarre as seriously going with a witch for a big bad. A witch. On a cart.
The Saturn/PC version do look wonderful! Sonic's the right shade of blue and everything (unlike that ugly cyan-ish shade the Genesis version has him at). Really good-looking for a game entirely using pre-rendered art assets.
Probably because you're not being ranked against your score, which resets to 0 the instant you die and often times demands perfect play in order to achieve that A rank. You just have to fulfill the requirements: beat the stage, beat it with 50 rings, beat it within X amount of time. Not easy, but a lot less esoteric.

I actually do have a soft spot for Drift 2, but that's more because I have fond memories of playing it on car trips as a little kid. I fully acknowledge it as a bad game, though.

A Sonic RPG done by the same folks who do the Mario and Luigi games would be PERFECT.

I'm still holding out for my Chronicles sequel, it ended on a cliffhanger guys!
A very poor cliffhanger but a cliffhanger none the less.
Imagine a sequel to the soundtrack of the generation, maybe Sonic 4 tracks done in the unique Sonic Chronicles style.

You know you wouldn't be able to resist.
I think what I valued the most about the Genesis/CD Sonic games were the vibrant colour palette and the level design being on a 2D plane. So when 3D Blast kind of went away from that (and I didn't like how 3D Blast looked very much either), I felt disappointed with where the series was going.Shadow Hog said:

Did ANYBODY beat that first boss of Sonic 2 GG when they were a kid, or did I just suck ass
also, read that Five Pillars of Final Fantasy article for a laugh, apparently FF was pretty ugly until blocky lego people in FFVII

I remember a "leak" about a Gamestop inventory console having "Sonic RPG2: Reign of Lord Robotnik" or something. Thought it sounded legit considering (Chronicles spoiler)
when the gang returns, Eggman had already taken over everything

I am embarassed to say I never even got past the second stage of Sonic 2 or S3&K so I can't talk.
Man I was bad at video games as a kid.
Or it was more like I was too busy doing whatever the hell I wanted rather than play the game properly.

I was honestly terrible at it when I was really young and playing it within the first year of getting it.
That article pissed me the fuck off.
Just... ugh, I'm irritated with their fucking ignorance. Saying something like that is a slap in the face to every single person working on art design/dungeon design/cutscene direction in the 2D games. They need to get their heads out of their asses and stop being so fucking pretentious.

Don't touch 4 treasure chests and you're good...pretty simple to me! I think trying to get the Danjuro dagger or getting a level 99 Chocobo to spawn was much much harder

"Summoning" is an odd choice. It's only been a major plot point in FF6, 8, 9, 10, and 13, unless I'm forgetting something.
As for "refinement," I don't really know. All of these games have battle systems that, if you understand them well enough, break easily, and FF13's didn't seem "refined" to me at all when my characters automatically and uncontrollably ran into explosions during battle.

Guys stop fretting about Squeenix. Once they release Versus, you all will be kissing up to them anyways!
All of you. Every single living one of you. Every fiber of your being, every bit of your soul, all of it will be crying out tears of gladness, joy and amazement at what Versus will be. Angels singing on high will be nothing compared to that exploding cry of ecstasy from gamers everywhere.

We can relate this to Sonic right? Look how ugly the 2D Sonic games are.
Disgusting.
I couldn't stand that. It's awful that you couldn't customize character positioning in FF13.
I don't care about Versus at all outside of possibly the art assets for the areas, and the details that it uses KH-like combat isn't enticing in the least. I think I was interested in the game for 3 months after the DK Sigma trailer and after that, I stopped caring.tiggerkiddo said:

I saw that as more of an Easter egg than an actual plot reference. There's too many mysteries surrounding the presence of those ghosts to link them to Chrono Trigger's ending.

Nope, but spritework should never be a part of this world. That's why Mega Man is dead. These were the end of him:
Fixed. Chrono Cross was a reimagining of Radical Dreamers.
Eh, its not that Cross is a bad game (it's not), but it's not Chrono Trigger 2. Not at all.

I started appreciating Cross more once I learned to look at it as a game that takes place in the world of CT but isn't necessarily a direct sequel. It's... a lot easier to stomach when you don't try to tie it with CT. >_>

Chrono Cross has wonderful Honne background art (Honne is amazing), and CC and Xenogears were the peak of Mitsuda's musical career.

and that annoys me now, if only for petty reasons. Friend used to run a Video Game Music contest on another website every year, eventually we just had to retire Time's Scar because it winning too often and it made it boring. Every year boiled down to "who get's to lose to Time's Scar this time around"
but I don't care about final fantasy!

No.
I think Sonic CD is one of the better looking 2D games, simply for the sake of how vibrant it is. Someone like qq (lol, and he just pops into the thread) might be able to have better input on this, I think.
