I thought CD was unplayable until Taxman remade it. The transitions are still there, but in a game where punishment is breaking your momentum your main gimmick shouldn't feel like a punishment.

I started with Sonic 2 back when it came bundled with my Genesis. Adventure 1 is my favorite 3D game with Generations a distant second. SA2 is third I guess. None of them are close to Sonic 1-3&K or Mania IMO.

Generations had less. It was horseshit how "Modern Sonic" was still 70% 2D.

>Generations had less.
You should replay Colors user. I'm not saying Generations had much 3D but it had more than Colors without a doubt Colors was 90% 2D.

>Most adventure fans also started off with the classics like myself.
I kinda doubt that given how much larger the Modern/Adventure fanbsae is than Classic. I would think that nowadays fans are much more likely to have started with SADX or SA2:B than Sonic 1 or 2.

This is false I think you have been tainted by niggers here. From what ive seen most Classic and Adventure fans are usually in the same boat and generally dislike the newer stuff. There is a subset of absolute underage faggots though whose first game was colors so maybe you are thinking about them.

No, I'm making an educated guess based on the fact that Modern Sonic has been around for much longer than Classic so it follows that it's much more likely that a Sonic fan is going to start with a 3D Sonic game like SA1 or 2. Much in the same way that a Fallout fan is going to start with a Bethesda Fallout than the originals. Not really trying to make a statement for or against these fans or whatever, just saying is all.

>Most adventure fans also started off with the classics like myself
Some, sure. I imagine most of those people that like the Adventure games and also started with the classics are the ones that played the games on the Dreamcast, and there's no fucking way the DC audience for SA1 and SA2 outsize the later ports'. I guarantee most "Adventure fans" hopped onboard with the GameCube.

There are plenty of 3D platformers roughly contemporary to the Adventure games I love, but the Adventure games just don't do anything for me.

You forget there was only seven years in between the very first Sonic game and Adventure 1. Only three years in between S&K and SA1. Many of the classic fans followed the series onto Dreamcast and like the games. The newfags came in with SA2 Battle.

Colors is not superior in any way.

Heres my list, first Sonic game was SA2B

1. Generations

2. Mania

3. Adventure 2

4. 3 and Knuckles

5. Heroes (guilty pleasure desu)

wrong

we got too cocky boost and classicbros... adventureCHADS won again...

No, I don't forget that actually. But I think you are underestimating just how much longer Modern Sonic has been around than Classic Sonic. As I said before, it just makes sense that your average Sonic fan is more likely to have started with a 3D Sonic than Classic 2D game just because of the sheer disparity between the two eras in terms of both time and games. This was just a pedantic thing on my part, not trying to shit on the younglings.

Show me one 3D level in colors that isn't an automated running section and lasts more then 30 seconds

For every one good thing someone says about Generations people follow up with 3 bad ones, how is Generations the most overrated when, if anything, it is an even like to dislike ratio.

Congrats, you just described every boost game along with the one you just posted.

You forgot that it's only what, 9 levels long?

>all modern stages
>10 minutes
Isn't this like one third of the game? The game is 30 minutes long?

>in a game where momentum is the thing you're aiming for, your punishment shouldn't be a decrease in momentum
what?

what what? Are you retarded?

How come Sonic never attempted a sandbox/collectathon style?
There was a time when this was considered the gold standard for 3D platformers but Sonic just skipped past it.

If the entire goal of the game is to build momentum, then a decrease in momentum is a logical fucking punishment.
Are you going to bitch about pits in Mario next

Because the adventure games have a mixed reception at best and is only really defended by hardcore fans nowadays, while Generations is widely regarded as one of the best 3D Sonic games ever made. When it came out I saw people saying it was the best Sonic game since Sonic 3. It's by far the least divisive Sonic game in decades among both fans and the broader gaming community. In fact the boost games as a whole are largely overrated.

Doesn't help 3D in Colors was basically all hallways of enemies to boost your way through or some extremelly pointless curve drift.

Based Yuji Naka knew it was a garbage genre and ignored it.

Classic Sonic Improvement Mod fixes the Classic levels.

Unleashed Project mod fixes the lack of content and offers more enjoyable levels than Vanilla Gens.

I agree that if you're playing this on a PS3 at 20fps it's okay at best.

Iizuka and other level designers decided at some point that 3D Sonic would work best as a more linear spectacle based game, with more open level design relegated to other characters like Knuckles.

In the early version of Windy Valley you can see that it was much more open but I guess they scrapped it because of what I mentioned above or the technology simply wasn't there to support it.

As far as collect-a-thon goes, I mean we kinda got that with Sonic 3D Blast didn't we?

How long will it take for people to finally realize Boostshit was never good to begin with?

As they fucking should. Plenty of better 3D platformers were around at the time.

Like mario 64 and uhhhhh

The problem with CD isn't that it punishes you by halting your momentum, the problem is the game doesn't REWARD skillful play with momentum. The levels are designed to actively hinder any sense of flow and force you to constantly stop and start every few feet, the terrain barely has any slopes to take advantage of, it's musky blocky flat levels with constant obtrusive speed bumps that constantly kill the pacing. And the primary goal in every level is to slowly explore levels that are only ever navigated via basic jumping on square platforms or using artificial springs and other gimmicks to launch yourself higher.

Based pleb taste poster.

Not sure about collectathon but a sandbox style Sonic with larger levels would work great.

This is either a shitpost or you don't play anything but Sonic games.
