On this day 24 years ago, sonic peaked.

>>713110559 (OP)
This is true. After SA2 Sonic's reputation and games just got steadily worse.

There will never be a game like SA2 ever again.

SA1 was better

>>713110559 (OP)
No caps told OP
>>713111378
Cap lil bro

>>713110721
Sonic would never smoke. It would damage his lungs and he wouldn't run fast no more.

>>713110559 (OP)
How did the soundtrack turn out so great?

>>713111378
They both have their own appeal. I love the adventure areas in SA1, but having dedicated stages for the different playstyles is a lot more fun in SA2.

>>713110559 (OP)
Mega downgrade from sonic adventure 1

>>713111378
Yeah, but that doesn't change much.

>>713110559 (OP)
Honestly best parts were sonic and shadow stages the rest was kinda ass. I was replaying it recently and holy shit rouge and eggman stages are soo booty.

I know eggman is supposed to just be tails but his stages are so much fucking worse for some reason. Not that tails and knuckles stages are any better but they are slightly less ass. That one part where rouge is looking for the chaos emeralds and eggman tells her "set the time to 15" and she says "hah i only need 5!" made me hate her so fucking much. No bitch you don't only need 5 why put yourself in that situation?

>>713110559 (OP)
yes

>>713112162
her pits turn me on more

>>713111909
that's the problem with these people defending this game, they don't even mention 2/3'ds of the game
especially when you go the dark route because shadow only has 4 stages, and the pumpkin hill one is very short

>>713111909
It's kind of easy to misunderstand but eggman is saying the island will blow up in 15 minutes. So rouge is giving herself 5 minutes to get the emeralds, and 10 to escape.
It's why shadows level, white jungle, is 10 minutes long.
What actually makes no sense is why GUN doesn't just give rouge the emeralds, since she is working for them and clearly don't care that she 'stole' them and let an island get blown up after this.

>>713110559 (OP)
Man I loved that game on the Dreamcast, 100% the thing, literally played it day in and day out. Decades later I see it for sale on Steam and decide to get it and relive fond childhood memories. Wish I hadn't.

>>713112321
The other 2/3rds of the game are fine, people just throw a fit because it's not all sonic stages. The only truly bad stages are mad space and eternal engine. Every other non speed stage ranges from enjoyable to okay.

>>713110721
Sega got lazy once they went third party.

>>713112701
Death Chamber and Egg Quarters suck dick too but just like every other bad level the music fucking carries them.

>>713114516
Death chamber is annoying, but egg quarters is the sane version. Since you can actually just run between different chambers.

Still the best Sonic voice.

>>713116503
SA2 has the best iterations of all the voices. I have disliked every rouge voice following the original. Her VA is also who voiced omochao, which is funny.

>>713112162
She needs to be the new rouge actor

That female VA did a lot of sega shit apparently

This but unironically. Sonic was always supposed to end with SA2

>>713117402
Reminds me of that one anon who cucked his girlfriend with Rouge

>>713121067

>>713110559 (OP)
This is one of those games I absolutely loved as a kid, 100% complete it, but I watch people play it for the first time nowadays and they make the game look unplayable. How did 10-year old me have zero issues with this game but adults 20 years later keep killing themselves over and over again? Am I a fucking idiot savant?

It's like when people complain about the "bad camera" in games like Super Mario 64, Kingdom Hearts and Dark Souls. I get pretty suspicious when you claim some of the greatest games ever made all have this "major flaw" that I somehow didn't notice as a child - and it also somehow didn't stop them from becoming commercially and critically successful. I suppose they would've been better if they had a "good camera" like those other 3D action games...which they never name.

>>713122558
Gen Z gets really hard filtered by older games for some reason. Even gen alpha has an easier time if you hand them super mario 64 and let them just run around.

>>713123282
Honestly, I think it's usually millennials I see struggling the most, they just didn't play the game as a kid.

I can't play NES games for the life of me so I'm always in awe watching people like Mike Matei jerk them off as if video games peaked in the 80s, so maybe there's a similar phenomenon happening here.

For me, its:

>>713121994
I don’t have the screenshot but some anon once went on about how he loved Rouge as a kid and had a Rouge plushie that his parents threw away because he kept cumming on it. Fast forward several years later, he accidentally called his girlfriend “Rouge” during sex and she broke up with him because she thought he was cheating on her with a woman called Rouge

>>713123470
I can't do most NES games. They're usually too primitive, and the ones that aren't are usually done better by the SNES either way. Still, there's some decent ones that are worth a 30 minute emulation

>>713123470
>video games peaked in the 80s,
The early 90s, but yes. They did.

>>713123887
lol, lmao

>>713123470
I'm a millennial and never had an issue. A lot of NES games are shovelware, but the popular ones are still worth checking out.

is there a game with a more polarizing set of levels? some levels are great, some are ok, some are bad, some are absolute dogshit

>>713128680
Its definitely a game people either really love or hate the stages on I've noticed. Usually you don't get that level of back and forth until you start comparing different entries in a franchise.

Why can't anyone make an Adventure clone? It's always modern boost shit

>>713129503
Not even sonic team themselves can make an adventure clone. The closest you'll get is spark 3. It's basically just the speed levels from SA2.

A lot of the shit that would eventually ruin the franchise's reputation began here.

>>713129503
By the time the Adventure games were rereleased on GameCube, the industry had evolved to the point that what the Adventure games offered was laughable.

>>713129503
At least we're getting this:

>want to play
>remember the eggman/tails levels
>dont

is there a way to mod in skipping these in story mode please? spoonfeed me

>>713130581
I don't know of a mod that straight removes them, but there are some that adjust the controls and mechanics:

This one is more speed hack tier, but might be better, if less balanced:

>>713130938
any chance to just skip or teleport to the end?

>>713130581
>hating eggman/tails more than the treasure hunting
i don't get this. at least the shooting levels are over in a few minutes. the treasure hunting levels can last forever if one of the emeralds is in a retarded spot

>>713131270
i like em. esp the knucles stages the rap music

>>713130581
They are fun. I'd rather do them than Knuckle and Rouge levels.

>>713111575

>>713112379
Rouge is not working for GUN. She is working solely for the President. SA2 implied some sort of power struggle between those factions that even the later games didn’t remember.

>>713111517
>Actually, sonic adventure 2 is bad
Shut the fuck up, dweeb

>>713131909
Yeah in SA2, GUN is clearly supposed to be the U.N. but later games make them the U.S. military

>>713111378
>haha have your 3 minutes of fun, then it’s back to the gay empty overworld for you, fucker!

Post music from the Adventure games you love.

/v/ list your fav SA2BATTLE stages. for me its the space rail sonic stages

>>713131260
Not that I could find, I'd try that second mod and it should be fine. The mech stages are the worst ones, but even still they are overhated. Eternal engine is the only truly rage inducing one.

>>713129503
I think SRB2 is the only fangame I played that played similarly enough to Sonic's action stages in the Adventure games. Obviously it's not the same, level design is more expansive and the looser controls can take a bit to get used to, it was enough to satisfy my desire for another game like it.
There's also an Adventure Sonic mod that feels nice to play

>>713132749
Things that annoy me about SRB2
>camera is always a fixed height and distance (cuz it's Doom engine)
>billboard sprites
>distinct lack of slopes and rolling (there are inclines but you'll never get stuff like running on walls or half-pipes)
>physics feel very slippery
I know mods can fix some of this stuff but at some point you may as well make a new game from scratch. It's okay if you like SRB2 but it's not for me. It is closer to classic Sonic because it tries to be a platformer rather than a mach 5 rollercoaster show.

>>713123887
i love how it's such a typical prostitute name too

>>713133861
You can switch to models in the settings brah.

>>713133861
>camera, sprites
you can literally change those in the menu tho. no mods required.
>lack of slopes
not sure what you mean, there are definitely slopes, selections in the menu related to slopes, and momentum you can gain from launching from them. you're right about wall running i guess
>slippery
yeah

>>713111575
Sonic's lungs are too powerful to be damaged by cigarette smoke.

>>713134223
>>713134345
The player has a model, but does everything else? Enemies? flowers? checkpoints? item boxes? trees? spikey balls?

Also another thing that bothers me is how angular the map is. Everything is built with like 20,45,or 60 degree turns. I don't think I've seen a smooth curve. It almost feels like I'm in minecraft.

And I'm kinda sick of how pixelated everything is. But it's not just that. Even Sonic Jam looked cooler because of the freedom the geometry had and the terrain had shadow mapping and vertex coloring. SRB2 looks rigid and lifeless.

>>713135315
