What did I do? =(
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;38697877]BUT IT WASN'T AN ACCOMPLISHMENT
look, megaman is challenging
dark souls is challenging
the knuckles and rouge levels aren't challenging
Sometimes the game will go, "Yeah, I'll just put the emeralds in the open" and sometimes it'll go "Yeah, I'll put this one in a dog's anus, this one in Lincoln's nose, and this one out in the open so the player will be tricked into thinking they can win".
It's just fucking random. I once spent forty fucking minutes, [I][B]forty fucking minutes[/B][/I], on pumpkin fucking hill. That shitty rap song is etched into my lower frontal lobe.[/QUOTE]
all the emerald search levels were terrible and hard.
[QUOTE=BrickInHead;38697706]the original sonic games aren't very fun at all[/QUOTE]
I know it's all opinions and all, but what makes sonic 3 & Knuckles not fun?
It's a really good platformer
personal opinion, sonic simply isn't for me. i don't like the restricted view combined with the fast speed

in the modern games where you can get a proper understanding of your surroundings, it's much more fun.
I just want there to be a modding scene for SA2 now that it's on Steam.
All I have ever wanted from Sonic is more SA2 Sonic/Shadow stages.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;38695743]This is like...the same kind of terrible that Superman 64 is. I'm surprised that it hasn't gotten more attention.[/QUOTE]I dunno, this is infamously terrible. It's probably going to get more so as time passes.
one thing i don't like about sonic is how it's all just cut into small levels that feel like minigames. it never feels like an actual game, just a series of short bonus levels, but that's the whole game. it's never translated well to a proper game with an overarching plot or something, sonic 06 being a good example
i just can't relate to it, sonic's barely a character, just your player model. this applies to other games that i like but I guess sonic is just a bigger culprit of it. it never feels like you're accomplishing stuff, the whole level feels like a rube goldberg set up specifically for sonic, you're not traversing unknown terrain.
I have to say, the more recent Sonic games that, while certainly help give more of a "gotta go fast" feeling, end up feeling like I'm just being guided through setpiece and setpiece without much control of what I can do until I reach the end.
The older sonic games tend not to be as guilty as this as the latest ones are, hell, Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog end up really averting this issue, though all the big problems both games suffer still diminish the games as a whole. Meanwhile, Sonic 06 is a clunky piece of shit where the levels feel incomplete and rushed.

you honestly suck then, the game essentially told you where the emeralds were. all you need to know going in is how to put 2 and 2 together. it took me at most 7 minutes each level. they aren't even that big anyway. and its random so its not like "i beat the level once so i know where they are every time!", so yes it also is challenging. lrn2playscrub
its no use

Played both adventure 2 and generations, totally agree.
Sonic is an extremely shallow character, and is not funny enough to make up for it.

After I got the digging powerup the Knuckles and Rouge levels weren't so bad because of the abundance of powerups.
[B]Also, fun fact! [/B] The only times the Speed Up power up appears is on one Eggman level and All Rouge and Knuckles levels (via digging). Sonic and Shadow [I]never use it in actual gameplay.[/I]

I know for a fact there's one in city escape and maybe white jungle.
As well as othe sonic/shadow levels.
[QUOTE=Wormy;38701873]Yeah, I just played the game and found one in city escape.[/QUOTE]
just because thats your experience doesnt mean its a fact then does it?

That's a very understandable view, can't be blamed for it.
[QUOTE=DOG-GY;38697909]fuck pumpkin hill i remember that from when i was a kid
terrible level[/QUOTE]
It's probably the best Knuckles level.. and I quite frankly enjoyed the Knuckles sequences. They were a nice change of pace for me.
[QUOTE=Wormy;38701701]I have actually got the speed up power up when I played as Sonic. I got it when I reached a checkpoint[/QUOTE]
If you have a certain number of rings when you pass through a checkpoint, you get a powerup of varying power based on the rings. So it's feasible you got one with so-and-so rings.

Nope, know for a fact that isn't the case. [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewf5BtXKzWk"]City Escape, just before the grind rails/stairs bit[/URL].
[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsay6ENrC_w"]Look, if you've ever played that stage, you'll know what I mean when you hear the theme[/URL].
