It's a very interesting topic

Idk about you guys but I pretty vividly remember how sonic fans back when I was still in single digits were like, it's why I never joined a sonic community even though its my favourite franchise

It's got a reputation after all

:gandalfwhite:

That's for sure

I find it funny how it was 100% okay to say "adventure is trash because sonic has green eyes" back then

Reading through the thread and there's a Nova there who's a bit of a dick, someone never grew out of that stage it seems

But I'm Xovna

And a nobody is even more of a dick than the original

Do ur best classics fan only impression

Sonic doesn't work in 3D, it's way too easy and the story sucks. The bosses are all crap now, level design is dead. GREEN EYES ruined sonic. Also he should have stayed mute, the voice acting has always been shitty

But the cartoons!

:Dolan:

:gandalfwhite:

They don't count

"There was a recent thread on SSMB about whether Generations and Colours are now considered bad games and the consensus among members there seemed to be that they were never that good to begin with, and that the Adventure series should be the template for 3D Sonic games instead."

I like how the classics fans praise generations and colours for having "Saturday morning cartoon tones"

When the actual Saturday morning sonic cartoon dealt with death, destruction and all that lighthearted stuff

IF ONLY

I've been looking at a lot of SA1 and even 06 videos today, and gosh the series really took a downturn

I used to be a lot more in touch with the sonic community

And being an adventure fan was like ridiculed tbh

Yeah definitely

You got seriously shat on

I avoided participating in it for the most part but I always read discussions etc

Yeah

Discussions hah, more like circlejerks over the mega drive games

I think it's totally fine for us to be angry

I don't get it tbh, because to me the adventure era IS the classic era translated into 3D better than any other

Really we're surprisingly restrained

Ikr

I dunno how you can't see the incredibly close links between S3&K and even sonic CD

Hell, SA1 remakes cutscenes from sonic CD in the new graphics. More than what KH3 did

:gandalfwhite:

It literally expands the lore that's already there
