    ... I remember playing Sonic at my daycare. When I was like 4. Damn that was a fun game.... I remember being pretty good at it. I regret not paying attention to the name of the game, however.... or... what system it was on.... but hey! I was in daycare!

    I just remember going in circles a lot :-D

    ..... and that is my contribution to my knowledge of Sonic the Hedgehog. Don't judge me for my lack of gaming experience!!! >:O

    If you buy any 3D Sonic game, you're wasting your money.

    Oh, I know. I'm just sick of all the crap SEGA/Sonic Team spew about "going back to the 2D roots" every time they put out one of these crappy 3D games.

    But the Eggman and Tails levels were not two thirds of the game. There was also chaos emerald treasure hunting done by Rouge the bat and Knuckles. There were probably only like 15 Tails and Eggman levels combined. There were more like 30 Sonic and Shadow levels, and like 15 Knuckles and Rouge treasure hunts. At least, it feels like your either sonic or Shadow almost the entire time, and that the other charaters are sort of like high-action mini-games. I agree with you that the newest 3-D games are getting to be the same garbage that has slightly better graphics that the previous titles, but Sonic Adventure 2:Battle was an amazing gmaes with a great storyline, and compelling characters.

    I call shenanigans on these claims. First of all, Shadow only had four stages. FOUR. It hardly feels like you're playing as him for the entire time on the Dark Story. It focuses on Ivo. And as for the Hero Story? Sonic had more stages than Shadow, but still too few (a mere six). By the way, that makes only 10 speed levels, as opposed to the 30 you presented. Tails and Knuckles had five stages each. Then Sonic Team made it worse by spreading out the stages poorly. If I remember correctly, the stages went like this:
    1. Sonic
    2. Knuckles
    3. Tails
    4. Sonic
    5. Sonic
    6. Knuckles
    7. Tails
    8. Knuckles
    9. Tails
    10. Tails
    11. Sonic (finally)
    12. Knuckles
    13. Tails
    14. Knuckles
    15. Sonic
    16. Sonic

    The string in red is the most annoying part of the game, easily. For one reason: WHERE THE HELL IS SONIC?! They could have thrown something in there for Sonic to do so it wasn't all Tails and Knuckles.

    And please, don't even get me started on the story. It's great? Not a chance. It's more full of holes than swiss cheese. Oh, and one more thing: death to Omochao.

    Jeese, looks like Mr Cheese's is the one to beat. I think people are going to have to take it up a notch to beat this one.

    Actually I just thought of something I could try doing. But that also means I will have to find sprites and backgrounds. Bother.

    Yeah, that was pretty cool. It was so awesome. Making them happy was just as fun as making them cry.

    Thank you for not using the "foxes would eat hedgehogs" line, X'o'Lore. I'm totally sick of seeing that used.
  • edited January 2007
    Oh shit! Foxes WOULD eat hedgehogs!

    I'm currently working my way through Sonic and Knuckles Collection to get to the level I need for maximum backgrounds!

    Judging's on Friday, K?

    Right. My PHP script for comic archiving decided to have a hissy fit today, so I'll have to go re-upload everything. But here's my entry. I was going to just rip the different backgrounds, and position the characters the way I wanted so I could put text, but as I was playing, I realized how much I was enjoying not having the characters say stupid shit all the time. No "Damn!" every five seconds. No extremely corny lines about teamwork. No gender-confused foxes. It was great. So I decided to instead just rip the actual screens and leave the text out (editing the images as I needed to, of course). Might seem lazy, but I think it works nicely.

    Always wondered why this never happened in the games.

    EDIT: Archive fixed, so here's the comic from my server so I can save space in my attachments.

    I demand a recount! Plus some of the judges might not have understood who they were voting for!

    Just kidding. Congrats, X'o'Lore!

    Yes. That'll work I suppose.
