>Can choose campaigns, so that way you can just do all the Sonic levels in a row, and forget the other shit, or at least leave the worst for last, such as Big The Cat
>HUB world makes the game feel like an adventure
>Better lighting
>Basically Classic Sonic aesthetic but just in 3D
>Spin dash is fun to exploit
>Speed levels are not just narrow hallways
>Knuckles emerald hunting is more tolerable
>Tails levels are based on platforming and not mindless mech mash shoot to win spam shit
>Only women and kids care about Chao garden, so it doesn’t matter that SA2 added onto this
>Game looks better. SA2 looks ugly as fuck for a Sonic game
>My friend owned SA2. He got beat by his dad
>SA1 is a longer game
SA2 has better cutscenes and story, but it’s about the gameplay with this franchise

Was the added drama based or cringe in retrospect for what is ostensibly a children's furry animal mascot platformer?

Why is it acceptable for half the game to be shit when it's a Sonic game?
>Sonic is the only gameplay style that's legitimately good, Knuckles and Gamma are fine but underdeveloped
>Tails feels utterly pointless because he flies over everything or just uses repurposed minigames from Sonic's story, only his last level is any good
>Amy's levels are boring
>Big's levels are pointless walk to a place and do a minigame: the gameplay style
>the cutscenes are often weak even for their time
>the voice acting is just plain not good, you can find it charming or whatever though if you want
>majority of non-Sonic levels in the game are obviously just repurposed Sonic levels, usually the stages aren't designed specifically around the current gameplay style and just slap shit on top, see basically every Knuckles stage
>literally repeated cutscenes
>literally repeated bosses
>Dreamcast version is easily the best but you can't skip cutscenes, the only saving grace of the ports
>Chao Garden isn't even good in this game, any version of SA2 has a better Chao Garden of any version of SA1, raising Chao is definitely more of a chore
>story isn't anything special and definitely doesn't deserve the "varying viewpoints" treatment since it does little to nothing with it, Gamma's story, while the best, is oddly irrelevant to the overall game's plot and could be cut entirely with only a couple minor changes
And this is just talking about the Dreamcast version.

itt: shitty games you still kind of enjoy somehow

Thoughts on this game?

Another thread about it, but this game. I loved it as a kid. Feels clunky as shit now

They needed to reinstate the cool factor of sonic, and the Genesis Era of Sonic wasn't going to cut it. Look at pic related for example, Classic Sonic could not pull off this iconic pose as well as Modern Sonic does.

What were Sega thinking? the gameplay is downright atrocious. It's barely controllable.

Even if Sonic Adventure was janky mess, would you say you had fun with it? How old were you when you played it? I was 10 and fuck, even if now I recognize it for all of its flaws, I would be lying if I said I didn't fucking love it at the time. The music still gets me fucking pumped

I CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER

I don't give a fuck what anyone says. The original Dreamcast version of SA1 is still my favorite Sonic game.

About to try this on DEmul. What im in for?

This is the worst game I’ve ever played.

I had more fun with Sonic Adventure than any mario game.

All jokery aside, is Sonic Adventure a good game?

even though this was the beginning of his downfall

What went wrong with Sonic's transition to 3D?

Was it overrated on release? Like, perhaps because of the for-the-time good graphics and the "holy shit Sonic is back" factor?

How come the DX version which was only released a few years later got absolutely slammed in reviews?

Why Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are still acclaimed has masterpiece when they're objectively really bad games?

Colours and Generation are really superior and awesome games but nobody calls it "masterpiece" or "the last good Sonic games"

C'mon, even Secret rings, Black knight and Unleashed are better games!!!

So why!!!

I remember loving the shit out of that game. Like that was one of my favorite games, I just thought it was the fucking bomb diggity, but at the same time I was also like 10 when I played it.

Does it actually hold up? Is it at all as good as I remember it? Because I've heard a lot of people on the Internet call it unplayable shit.

Good to see that people on this board actually read the thread's premise instead of derailing it.

So, I've been playing Sonic Adventure recently and I'm wondering...

What the fuck is going on with the lyrics for the character themes?

>He reminds me of parsley when he's standing there all alone
>Ok all you have to do is sit up, look left, right, up, and down
>Streaking lights, loud sounds, and instincts are the elements that keep me going

The phrasing and song structure is really fucking weird. I assume they were written someone who didn't know english, and then just given to the singer?

Also, just for fun
