See, that shyt right there upset me because the parts of the game as Sonic were dope but then that night time shyt..nah. And Generations is dope too but its gimmick and while it appeals to my nostalgia it's still built around a gimmick as opposed to just being focused on gameplay. I can't speak on Lost World or Colors so I won't front like I can. I just want a straight Sonic game where I can shoot through, not have to worry about switching between this character and that character, old sonic and new sonic, new sonic or scary ugly beast sonic, collect my chaos emeralds and give Robotnik that work

I feel you, but there is an understandable reason they tend to put in gimmicks.

Due to the nature of Sonic, if a game was just Sonic stages then it would end up being extremely short. They could spend weeks and weeks designing a stage for Sonic, but players will just fly through most of them in five minutes. So even if they put in a lot of levels, a game with nothing but pure Sonic stages would end up being short (because you run through them so fast) and people would complain about that. So they end up trying to vary the gameplay so that people can't run through the game so quick. I don't advocate that, but I do understand that it would be hard to make a reasonably long Sonic game otherwise. :ld:

Gang violence...
with all that athletic tape, i am beginning to think sonic is :flabbynsick: from all those years of running at incredible speeds

and forget the scarf, i probably would have given him a headband or something

knuckles is clearly messing with that "stuff"

amy is looking too fragile to be out there

they got tails perfectly, though

This is a popular argument the developers make. The thing is the OG Sonic games were very short too, and no one had a problem with that. People continue to play and replay these games today. Devs gotta get out of the mindset that games have to be 20 hours to be good. If the game is great, length won't matter. People will replay games over and over if it's fun. The new Ratchet and Clank game can be completed in like 4 hours and it stays in my gaming rotation.

A good game is a good game. I felt both of you on that one but I tend to side with you now that you verbalized it better than I could. I think gamers are smart enough to know not every game is going to a 10-20 hour campaign; as long as they have fun with it and it's dope, length shouldn't be an issue. The Sonic team needs to do what they do best. Sonic was never designed to be an epic game

I remember Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast was entertaining. As for this, not feeling the designs. What is up with all that athletic tape, and Knuckles looks retarded, like he literally has retard strength. The gameplay better be good :ld:
