I didn't have a Genesis growing up so I figured I didn't like the Genesis Sonic games for that reason. However, I really liked Sonic Adventure 1 when the Dreamcast came out, even though I was still a kid (teen). I think I liked walking around the hotels and towns before each stage for some reason. I never played Sonic Adventure 2 though. From what I heard, Sonic for the XBox 360 is supposed to be one of the worst games of all time. There's been one or two 1st party Mario games that were deemed "not the greatest" (Mario Sunshine, Yoshi's Island DS), but actually having a game considered one of the worst of all time when it was your main franchise is pretty lol Sonic Generations was fun and I have no personal nostalgia towards Sonic, so there's that. But yeah, way more stinkers than gems in that series.

they took the already limited mk fighter moveset and cut it down to a beat-em-up moveset instead of giving fighting game caliber enemies to fight with a full moveset; not using fighting game characters anymore also its mk and therefor sucks

Seaside Loafer posted:I'm curious as to why as a self proclaimed 30 something you care so much about the relative merits of sonic the hedgehog vs super mario, both 20 year old console games for children. I'm not having a go at you, everyone needs a hobby, and I have fond memories of them both, but I wonder if your adult mind might be better served by engaging in something else. Chess perhaps, or maybe learning a foreign language, Spanish is supposed to be on of the easier ones. Like Chess, some games stay a classic even in adulthood. Some don't. My adult mind has engaged in plenty, and I usually never have time for video games, although I wish I could play many that have come out in the last 15 years. The Whole Internet posted:in fairness, this principle has been tried before successfully in videogames. commander keen is basically mario with a gun, for instance. Did you know that Super Mario Bros was originally designed to have Mario shoot a gun? hosed up, but true. Ramsus posted:In fact Ristar ruled and was very good. I should give this another try. I got bored with it and never played it again. Pesmerga posted:Streets of Rage.2. The music in this game is incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFcdQObbT8o You had to have the big Sega Genesis to experience this properly, because without stereo outputs, listening to this was shameful in comparison. Zombies' Downfall posted:like the saturn is good but too little, too late, for gaming's failingest rear end company of all time... sega. I think this is the only game system that rendered it's 3D graphics using quads instead of triangles.

What should be mentioned to replace those is Yoshi's Story for N64. Great graphics, but the gameplay is broken because you can just skip through the game or something. I forget. I rented it once, and I was really embarrassed by the cutesy intro music and baby noises.

You can't win arguments like this with the SNES crew, because when you try to tout Genesis gems like Decap Attack you usually get a blank stare in return.

agreed with most of the criticism of sonic itt but sonic 2 plays really well as an iphone game. the widescreen format and better framerate helps with not having to stop running and scout for cheap deaths every 5 seconds and the special stages don't look and run like hot garbage. the touchscreen controls are a bit goofy but you get used to them quick

LP0 ON FIRE posted:I'm a 30 something now, and although I really liked Sonic The Hedgehog games as a kid/teenager, they don't seem that great anymore. Actually they are pretty much poo poo. At least the old ones, but I've heard bad things about the new ones too. As somebody who never liked Sonic that much, I think the idea wasn't to complete the levels (ala Mario) despite being constantly held against Mario, but rather, to do it as quickly as possible by memorizing paths and shortcuts, like some kind of timed racing platformer. Every time I played it, I played it like it was Mario, methodically moving forwards with caution because of all the random bullshit that happens when you're going too fast. It was many years before I realized "Oh, so you're supposed to figure out where it all is and then do it quickly." Still, I'd rather player Super Mario Bros 1 or 3 again over Sonic any day of the week. Or better yet, Super Mario Crossover: http://explodingrabbit.com/pages/super-mario-bros-crossover/ IzzyFnStradlin posted:gensis had gore. snes was too kiddy for blood, so in Mortal Kombat the characters "bled" sweat and the fatalities loving sucked. The Genesis was odd because the system itself was good and I supposed Sega's willingness to buck censorship Nintendo was so keen on. What I think ultimately makes it a sub-par console to me (and why the SNES is the far more kindly remembered system) is the controller. 3 buttons loving sucks. If you ever play a straight port from the SNES you'll cry at all the combination buttons the Genesis makes you do because they designed an awful controller.
