So that pretty much rules out Sonic 2 & Knuckles as anything other than a one-shot? Makes sense.raocow wrote: ↑4 years ago I thought it having to be an officially developed or licences game by sega was a given, but if it's not clear I'll say it here upfront: it has to be an official game of some kind. Otherwise this could go on forever.
Games where changing the character changes the level or gameplay in a *significant* way get multiple playthrough. Would I play Sonic 3 with Tails only? No. Would I play it with Knuckles only? Yes. Because there are significant differences.

I guess that means we'll never see the glory that is Super Tails (and his Super Flickies)

Re: All The Animal Friends - Flicky - A Certain... Ornithological Piece
Is it wrong for me to consider you would pull a fast one? We assumed that AtMM meant specifically video games, an assumption made incorrect by The Megaman Board Game.
And here you just say "game" Twice without specifying "video game." Does that mean Sonic Crash Course is on the table?

I guess you aren't wrong, and strictly speaking atmm was SUPPOSED to be video game, haha
Assume video games, and assume official. Like my thesis wasn't scripted so I haven't considered every nuance of my words.

Expect to receive some truly ridiculous Sonic paraphernalia and physical games come next ACT :)
Re: All The Animal Friends - Flicky - A Certain... Ornithological Piece
My hot take is that Sonic Adventure 2 is the best Sonic game by a mile (and a pretty good game in general), but only if you take the time to learn every stage to the point of being able to time/score attack them. Which no sane person is going to do, so... Fantastic soundtrack either way though!
For the 2D games, I think Sonic 2 has the most generally purposeful and coherent level design. I predict it will be raocow's favorite of the Genesis/Megadrive titles... well, maybe not if he goes for 100%, since the minigame really kinda sucks.

Sonic 2 is fine except the entire ending stretch is real bad and ruins my enjoyment of the rest tbh

Re: All The Animal Friends - Flicky - A Certain... Ornithological Piece
^ basically my opinion, too. oil ocean is visually busy and super winding, metropolis goes on for too long and is such a slog, sky chase gets boring, and wing fortress... i just never enjoy myself in sonic levels that are 1-2 layers of level above bottomless pits

Metropolis and Wing Fortress music though, my jams <3 and Sky Chase is a super chill breather level after the exhaustion of Metropolis before the home stretch.

i have a lot of complex opinions on the 3d games and i was gonna give my opinions on all the platformers but i thought just the 3d games themselves would make for an intersting post so here.

Since Sonic CD came out in Japan first, that means we're getting the JP soundtrack, right? Get funky.

Re: All The Animal Friends - Flicky - A Certain... Ornithological Piece
US soundtrack is superior tho
Also sky chase is a boring autoscroller that plays nothing like the rest of the game and is basically filler. Mania's Mirage Saloon act 1 is worse though so ehh
I don't actually mind Oil Ocean though it's nothing special either

This is setting the tone for 90% of this project. We're all gonna take turns playing different arguing roles: I'm already signed up as Sega Historian #4, Classic Appreciator, CD Cynic and Generations Fanboy.

Yeah, that there's going to be a looot of disagreements is just gonna end up being a thing for this. We're literally beginning to reflect the fanbase with just a dozen or so of us, just on a more passive tone right now.

Re: All The Animal Friends - Flicky - A Certain... Ornithological Piece
it's 2009 youtube comments all over again
i think it's funny to see how KobaBeach's perspective on 3D sonic games is so different from my own. totally aware that that's just kind of The Way Sonic Games Are, but it's still super interesting to see how far that divergence goes:
Re: All The Animal Friends - Flicky - A Certain... Ornithological Piece
Since it's non-negotiable. I'm going to voice my complaint here.
I don't think people have realized this yet. But because of the format choice, a significant chunk of the videos in the Sonics will be sub three minute boss fights.
In fact, about 20-25% of the videos will be solely dedicated to usually short boss fights. Just doing the good 2-D sonics would end up being over 270 videos. This assumes that special stages are counted as being in the same act of course.
SA2 would end up taking over a month of a half just for the main game. Not including the parenting simulator.
Since bosses are their own acts and hub worlds are their own acts We'll end up with videos where you start in the hub and enter the actual level leaving you with a 40 second video. SA1 will be absurdly bloated, like almost half the videos will just be short videos involving the hub.
The primary upshot of this video strategy is that it'd take around a year of videos to get to Sonic 06, By that time I'm fairly certain that the Xenia Emulator will have the game working better than the original nonsense.

Re: All The Animal Friends - Flicky - A Certain... Ornithological Piece
Fun Sonic Facts!
Rad Mobile is indeed the first ever appearance of Sonic The Hedgehog, and is also the first game made with Sega's System 32 Arcade Board. It also is one of the first racers to include police pursuit! If you manage to get caught, you’ll get pulled over and admonished by an officer, who’ll angrily pound on your car hood before letting you go. However, only for the first few levels. Later on, he'll instead take out his gun and put a few rounds through your windshield, a slightly harsh punishment for reckless driving. None of these will cause a “game over” though, it just sidelines your car for a few seconds. If you get the best ending, the cop explodes like a balloon, revealing a sexy race queen underneath.
