A-at least the sonic l-levels are good though

Guys, how come we never see Gamma anymore? It's not like he's dead, he's just a bird with a bird wife and a bird son.

They already made a game where you play as a Flicky, it wasn't that fun

I love the Sonic stages and the treasure hunting stages. I like the mech stages, but if they played closer to the Gamma stages I'd love them. The car stages are fun for a minigame, and I've never actually done the Chao raising but everyone loves those. The multiplayer is great too and the extra characters like Metal Sonic and Chaos were cool. I can not think of any reason someone would hate SA2 except they are ungodly bad at it or they are just hating it retroactively because of Sonic's reputation after Shadow and 06.

>The car stages are fun for a minigame,
I fucking hated these stages so much as a kid, I HATED them, but on my latest playthrough I finally realized how to actually play them, to drift by rocking the stick back and forth. They're actually not bad. I mean it's just a sidegame, it's no Mario Kart, but it controls pretty decently if you actually know what you're doing, plus there's that glitch you can do that lets you go incredibly fast which is pretty fun.

Leave Amy to me

CAN YOU FEEEEEEEL LIFE
MOVIN’ THROUGH YOUR MIND

I mainly like Sonic Adventure 2 for the story that keeps me playing. The gameplay may not be the most stellar but it isn't awful either and the game does a well job of engaging the player in the stakes at risk.

Game would be much better if all the stages had goal ring objectives and were designed like this.

SA2 isn't that edgy. And the dark elements are never lingered on for too long, we mostly only see the impacts of those events on the character. You're just a pussy that needs big bright colors and shitty stories that don't matter here nor there. Furthermore, Sonic stories have not been edgy in over 10 years.

Sonic & Shadow Levels - Good except Crazy Gadget
Tails & Eggman Levels - Good for the most part, especially Cosmic Wall.
Knuckles & Rouge Levels - Good and would be better than Adventure 1's levels if the Emerald system worked like in Adventure 1.

>no, they really aren't.
Yes, they really are. As are the shooting and hunting stages.

lol wat flicky is an amazing arcade game better than the overrated mappy

>The story does stray to the "edgy"
Name literally one time this happens.

i don't know why people shit on amy so much, i thought her gameplay was a nice change of pace and learning to go fast with hammer jumps was fun

I agree with you that her gameplay is overhated, she only has three levels and the hammer jump IS pretty fun. The thing is she's still intolerably, interminably slow. You probably spend more time running around the Adventure Field between levels than you do actually playing her levels.

No.

Why are you like this, OP?

Every once in a while I make a thread for a vidya I liked growing up. Some shitposting occurs, but mostly the thread is made up of likeminded anons who want to talk about the game. We talk about the game and discuss memories, post stupid OC, and we have a good time. We don't pretend like our game is perfect, but you know what? We also don't really care. The game is precious to us, and the fact that we can even have a discussion with anons from across the world who share the same feelings for it is, well.

That is honestly nothing short of amazing and plenty reason why this godforsaken Taiwanese basket weaving board still is worth visiting.

That's why inflammatory posts like yours are among the worst kind of shitposting. You don't like the game, but you aren't providing any arguments why you think the game is bad. You aren't asking someone to explain the appeal of it for you. You don't even have the common fucking courtesy to post coomer bait. You are simply broadcasting that you don't like thing and leaving it at that. You don't want discussion, you don't want to change your mind, and you certainly don't appear to want to discuss vidya.

I don't even fucking like SA2 but even I can tell you are a faggot. Fuck off and please make a better thread next time.

adventure 1, unleashed, colors and generations are the only good 3d sonic games.

This, knuckles/rouge levels are way more interesting to explore than in Adventure 1

>SA1 but not SA2 which is basically the same
>colors
Huh?

Mappy and Flicky are both great games, fuck off.

Probably because that style of gameplay is perfected in Sonic Advance, where it's actually a lot of fun.

I agree. Too many people are hyper focused on the gimped radar. The fact is the levels in SA2 are much, much better, having actually been designed for characters with Knuckles abilities. Pumpkin Hill blows any of his SA1 stages out of the water. And if the gimped radar really is SUCH a dealbreaker for you then you can easily fix it on PC

Her problem isn't that she's slow. Its her acceleration is completely fucked. She can only do shit like her hammer jump at top speed but they fucked it up for her for some reason when all the other characters accelerate fine. She should accelerate like she does in SA2

Desperate and seething

>Tails & Eggman Levels - Good for the most part
Seemed like a lot of "I'm holding down the button to target a lot of enemies at the same time and release it to kill them, and the combo counter at the top is telling me I am having fun right now"

Honestly I think meme culture, such as it is, is partially responsible for the sense of emptiness we find on the modern internet. Look at what happened to Wojak, for example. The image initially had a resigned, somewhat forlorn expression and was used to express one particular sentiment. Over time the resigned, forlorn expression became used to express other relatively complex sentiments, in association with posts expressing forlorn resignation, including posts regarding political or economic subjects. But the Wojaks people make today tend to have exaggerated, enormously overstated emotions instead of the comparatively listless Wojak. Wojaks today are usually crying streaming rivers, sometimes of blood. They're screaming, they're wailing, they're gnashing their teeth, they're expressing paroxysmal emotional attacks of one kind or another. One is worse than the other even though both are used to visually convey sentiment, because the latter distances the user and the viewer from any possible sympathy. The image poster takes on the role of eiron, mocking and attempting to convey personal superiority over the very sentiment expressed. This in turn diminishes the willingness of anyone to express anything of a similar nature. So Wojak, once used to partially express a human sentiment, becomes a method of dehumanizing the sentimental. This was inevitable, as a property of meme culture being the mutation of simple signals in order to produce something entertaining. The product becomes weaponized against the production base. We only call Fatlink by that name because he hates it. The pursuit of entertainment value, trying to get a gotcha or a snap or an ice burn or a BTFO, destroys common bonds and devalues communication.

That's fine

Even at the start of the process people would not attempt to convey their human emotions, the very act of using Wojak to communicate already separates the post from the poster, the poster is wearing a mask, it is simply not yet a mask in the ironic mode. The sense of community that develops from relating to Wojak would develop out of relating to the mask, not to the man behind it. To intentionally attempt to create a communal meme is to intentionally attempt to create a theater performance or similar, to assign a role and hope to force a relationship to it. Some memes can stand this and help build communities, ones that are simply hollow stamps of identification and recognition, the secret handshakes of secret societies, such as RC Cola or SomethingAwful's own "do you have stairs in your house," which do not attempt to assign a role or particular relationship beyond mutual recognition. But the communal theater memes, the type that go further, such as Zig Forums's chicken tendies and good boy points bullshit, or politically themed online roleplaying, are doomed right from the start, unless the community has an exceptionally good sense of humor (it doesn't and nearly nobody is ever as funny as they think they are). Wojak was destined from the start to eventually fall down the path to Pink Wojak crying rivers of blood, because the entertainment value of the reversal and subversion is infinitely higher than the entertainment value of the communal role relationship.

People naturally want to be the eiron and to avoid becoming the alazon, except for some who are so narcissistic and socially focused that even the kind of attention given to the alazon is considered desirable. Because in meme culture people reduce the need to have native wit to appear witty, the role of eiron becomes even more valuable, destabilizing the balance between man and mask. The meme becomes less and less suitable for self-expression and more suitable as a jab until it can no longer express, only attack. The community becomes anti-communal through the pursuit of entertainment at the expense of commonality. This happened with much of the SomethingAwful internet diaspora through their communal holiness spiral into the batshit insanity of "Callout Culture" and it is happening with imageboards through an equal if opposite purity spiral of batshit insanity, but I don't think it has to be inherently political.
