I think the new stages (Studiopolis, Mirage Saloon etc.) might not have minibosses, Studiopolis Act 1 ends with you passing a signpost traditionally and there's unique behavior for it (it flies up into the air after you run past it, so you can juggle it like after you clear a miniboss). This fits with the Heavies being bigger boss encounters.

Back when the first gameplay was revealed they mentioned that the signpost at the end of Studiopolis act 1 was a placeholder. Each act is getting a boss!

People are saying there are issues with Sonic Forces with the FPS on the Switch version being cut in 1/2 and I respond with something along the lines as..... just who is looking forward to Sonic Forces? You sit here and tell me that the framerate is cut in 1/2 with the Switch version compared to the PS4/Xbox version and then go along the ride stating that you can't wait for Sonic Mania? Which is it? How can you attack one game that is not "powerful enough" yet still be glad (and excited) to see the 16 bit version of Sonic return? I honestly cannot understand it and yes it it quite sickening.

Big the Cat does not give a gently caress.
If the world was ending and demons were rising from hell, Big the Cat would continue to fish and relax the days away with Froggy. He has no gently caress to give because the only gently caress he was given is for Froggy. If Froggy were to be kidnapped, Big would topple empires, destroy a thousand year old civilization devoted to the rebirth of the ultimate evil, brave every frontier and face down against anything that would stand in his way. Because Big only has one gently caress to give, and buddy, you aint Froggy.

100 words exactly.

Does the Werehog count as a Sonic Friend? Because Werehog hate is totally overblown- *jazz trumpets drown out my post* - and furthermore, I think that Sonic Unleashed would have been a better-received game if instead of turning into the Werehog, Sonic just turned into stone at night or some poo poo and you played a Knuckles during the night levels instead. Regardless, I think the beat-em-up mechanics worked competently and if the game had just done a better job framing it it would have gone a long way towards making Sonic Unleashed universally viewed as a good game instead of only viewed as a good game by Intelligent Sonic Fans, a group to which I definitely belong.

Basically Sonic Unleashed was good, gently caress haters get sun tokens

Hell, same. Or rather, I bought "The Complete Collection" on Steam (or Amazon maybe I can't recall) and went ahead and added it to my library because why not?

I played it for like 30 minutes and was like "...huh", and then proceeded to never touch it again.

Your favorite character is the best character.

I just recorded a semi-let's play thing with a friend to try and settle a longstanding argument that Sonic CD is a good game. I dunno how good my argument is gonna be though because I got stuck in a spring thing in Stardust Speedway twice lol. I wonder if it's because I was playing it on a romhack that added a Sonic 2 spindash or something.

The one mission I remember in DX was the one I could never complete. It involved doing some sort of special high jump off a ramp during the snow boarding sequence. I tried for hours but could never get the timing down to pull it off. Whatever that last Game Gear game was I never got the chance to play it.

It's part of Sonic Generations 3DS, I picked it up since it was on sale last week. It doesn't compare to the HD version but it was a lot better than I expected it to be.

If they unlocked without using play coins or playing for hours on end, I would. As for the other thing I tried but no one is playing this 2011 3DS game online any more unfortunately

Sonic CD has been off the store for a while now. Hopefully Christian Whitehead has just been too busy with Sonic Mania to update it. I really hope it's not going to get roped into the Sega Forever scheme but they've already slapped an ad layer over Sonic 1 so I'm not optimistic.

What's the best 3DS Sonic game? Everybody talks bad about the Sonic Boom games, Lost World looks terrible, and I already have completely exhausted Sonic Generations on PC. Is the 3DS one a different game, or just the same game with trimmed down content?

Evil Eagle

It's a completely different game, the only shared stage is Green Hill and even it has different stage layouts. It's very short but it's not too bad.

Lost World 3DS is ok but the real version is way better.

Sonic Generations 3ds is basically Sonic Rush 4, with Colors ds being Sonic Rush 3. Take that as you will. It's rendered in 3d, and Modern Sonic moves into and out of the Z plane, but never under your direct control.

Fire & Ice is the only Sonic Boom game that's even halfway decent in my opinion (though that's not saying much). Mostly because it's the only one that actually tries to be a Sonic game. Shattered Crystal has levels that go on way too long even when you're going through them normally and it forces you to hunt through them for collectables in order to progress and Rise of Lyric is a crappy attempt at an adventure style game that somehow makes Sonic 06 look fun by comparison.

Fire & Ice on the other hand, is just a standard (though a bit barren) platformer where aside from a few levels early on you don't have to use the character switching mechanic at all and collectibles are only useful for unlocking stuff in the multiplayer mode, which kind of makes it the best game in the series by default.
