When is the public going to change their opinions on Sonic and the Secret Rings and realize it was kino?

Fuck the public

Game could be pretty fun on a modern controller.

I will never accept a game with unlockable improved controls as good.

when zoomers start using /v/

Fucking lol is that true? I never knew that about the game and I beat it

>>723762986 (OP)
For me it's black knight, i don't know why people hated it

It was well recieved on released. People are still recovering from 2010s Youtuber mindvirus were everything Sonic = bad.

BK had the best cast and the best character writing for Sonic as a character period. With him fighting to END A WORLD. Something you'd never see other protags do outside of RPGs.

After Black knight gets its flowers, the mechanically and narratively better sequel will open the gate for people to like Secret Rings.

>>723762986 (OP)
Probably when Project Reignition is finished

I always liked Secret Rings, but the public? Never, and for good reason. It takes way too long to get to the point where you can actually have fun. Even though everything aside from the gameplay was awesome, hardly anyone's gonna sit through it without getting bored at the snail's pace Sonic goes early on.

The game doesn't work anytime it tries to be a traditional platformer instead of an autorunner. The controls aren't built for precision or redoing jumps, trying to move backwards is the most unsatisfying feeling ever. It's like they built the stages around SA2 controls, but turned it into an autorunner instead. The boss fights are the best part of the game because they're when the game starts to work as an autorunner. Both of the Erazor fights are probably my favorite bosses in the series. It also has the best soundtrack in any Sonic game.

storybook defenders are not human. you didn't even play the games and just watched cutscenes on youtube. you see sonic more as Saturday morning cartoon series than a video game franchise. you're no better than comic fart sniffers. die.

>>723763217
I never understood the Black Knight hate either, it completely fixed Secret Rings' controls and basically plays like an Adventure game except with exclusively Sonic levels. The bosses are pretty cool, the soundtrack is great, and it has some killer levels too. I am entirely convinced that people only hate Black Knight for the waggle-to-attack (but it's okay when Mario does it) and the "cringe" factor.

I do actually abhor Secret Rings though, it's the only video game I have ever returned to the store. I absolutely cannot handle the controls in that game, even by Wii tilt control standards it handles like fucking ass.

You can call me a nigger, retard, faggot, whatever, but you cannot say that I don't play the games

Me, neither. My only complaints for Black Knight was I wish it was longer and had included the rest of the knights of the round into the story as Galahad (Silver) and Lamorak (Jet) could have been used to extend it, plus I do think having Shadow be the first of the round knights was a mistake especially with him being the strongest as they even said so in story, the optional returning boss fight with him showcases it but still should have been in the plot. I would have swapped in Lamorak as the first knight of the round boss among them for Sonic to defeat.

Controls can never be fixed with the forced input lag, it means even playing it emulated with remapped controls is a chore. Which is a shame because everything else about Black Knight was outstanding, but it is still fundamentally a video game and fails at the game part.
Unless you're playing the party game mode which for some reason is one of the best party games ever made. Insane.

I just fucking despise the railroaded level design.

It’s a really bad game that has a horrible progression with its quests. The music and environments are really good though. The story is nice, I guess it’s a little corny but I mean both of these games portray Sonic really well so I don’t mind. But I don’t want to ever play this game again.

Not every Sonic game needs to be "secretly kino and misunderstood for its time" and turned around in the public image. It's okay to admit some games in a series you like are just bad.

>>723772895
Black Knight isn't incredible but it's certainly not bad.

>>723762986 (OP)
I always liked it. Don’t GAF what faggots think.

>>723762986 (OP)
Neat concept, really bad execution
If they made another storybook game but with like normal regular not total dogshit controls I'd be super down for that
I'd rather they take another crack at an RPG though, it's criminal Dark Brotherhood is all we've ever gotten
