You are the only person who doesn’t like Sonic CD. If the time travel part was to complicated for you, I’m sorry.
But pure Sonic as in presentation, Sonic CD is what Sega intended for Sonic to look in all aspects.
Knuckles knows martial arts, he is not Hulk, he’s more like an Iron Fist.
hell no he is not like Iron Fist, AT ALL.
The even funnier thing here is you proposing the idea that the Hulk is stupid.
Sonic CD is trash by the way.
If I may chip into this kinda silly argument. There isn’t really anything in the games that indicate that Knuckles knows anything besides just basically punching stuff when it comes to combat. In the comics, you could argue that he’s trained, but it seems like this whole time we’re only discussing main games so it doesn’t really count.
Even if he is more popular in America, That won’t stop the Japanese branch of Sega from ignoring it unless what I said above happens.
As much as I dislike some of their aesthetic decisions with this game, it’s being done by ex Naughty Dog devs…I believe we should give them more of a benefit of a doubt and wait till the game gets released before really shitting on it but thats my opinion.
I’m not saying Hulk is stupid, I’m speaking in terms of fighting style and strength to size.
Knuckles’ design charm came from him being so small yet powerful enough to break boulders with ease, you can tell he was a fighter by his boxing gloves already. His small size is similar to Iron Fist being so small yet so powerful as well. He doesn’t need to look like Hulk to show he’s strong.
He runs up a wall and throws a kick in Sonic X when he is fighting E-9, it was fucking awesome. He’s thrown a few other kicks to here and there but that’s the BIG one I remember.
I always thought Knuckles looked kinda dumb with these HUGE ass hands on string bean arms. I really don’t mind his new look for Sonic Boom, and it in no way indicates that he is a moron either.
Well he has a slightly bigger chest than Sonic too, and he stands in a more upright position. I’m sure you always thought that man.
There are no less than three reasons this post is monstrously stupid. Do I really feel like listing them?
/sigh
Yeah. Yeah I do.
Hey shithead, I thought you said the time travel component was “optional.” Ignoring that I totally explained how it isn’t, since you think it’s optional (in quotes, implying you don’t think it’s important) AND that I explained why it fails as a mechanic anyway (Future signs are useless), which requires that I’d know about how it works, what in the fucking hell were you thinking passively-aggressively assuming I don’t understand it? To clarify, it’s not that you took a shot at me that upsets me – I deal with imbeciles like you all the time – it’s that you honestly believe that was clever, and that offends me as a copywriter.
As for me disliking it: I’m not the only person, not that it matters. I could be the only gamer alive who thinks it’s shitty, and guess what: I can explain why I think that. Maybe you don’t think it’s shitty, which is cool and all, but so far you’ve backed that up with “it’s a pure Sonic game,” which is about as valid an explanation as the sweat on my cock is a tasty beverage.
Here, I’ll even help you out. Take the following and touch it up per your tastes, and post it right here in response. I promise I won’t call you out on it.
ahem
“The reason Sonic CD is awesome is because Sonic had to ‘earn’ his speed. In games like Sonic 2 and 3&K, the levels sort of let you go fast for minimal effort; Sonic CD required me to memorize the level to get the same effect, and that’s why I’ll always love it.”
Trust me: that’s not something I can counter with anything other than “different folks, different strokes.”
Back to why you’re dumb:
“Sonic CD is what Sega intended for Sonic to look in all aspects.” What the fuck does this even mean. Has Sega claimed this? If so, citation needed. If not, protip: shut the fuck up kid, because you’re clueless and adults are talking. Yeah Sonic CD sure is how Sonic should look, given they use the same sprite from Sonic 1, lift a mechanic from a superior game (spin dashing) and fail to implement it properly, and put the game on the Sega CD which can’t even handle the color depth of a fucking Genesis cartridge. Yeah, sure lines up with that amazing vision Sega had, doesn’t it?
TLDR version: don’t be stupid. Thanks.
Boy, I didn’t mean to get your panties all in a bunch.
You have alot of anger towards Sonic CD, you could never get the good future huh?
Lol, and how were the endings different? There is no reason to do the extra little time quest.
You’re an idiot.
No, I just didn’t respond the way you wanted.
What’s your problem with Boom? Wanting something to fail will only hurt the brand not make it better.
The whole project is nothing more than trying to appeal to the young American audience, since Sega is now trying to turn their appeal to iPhone wielding 6 year olds, things get dumbed down and lose their charm. I have literally explained why Sonic Boom is just an all around terrible idea and just doesn’t work. This is Crash Bandicoot with Sega characters, this is not Sonic. Boom is not the direction the series should have taken at all.
That’s another thing. I don’t know how the reaction would be, I’m not Sega. But this all crashing and burning might actually result in something worse than it catching on. I don’t want it to be cynical about it, but I fear the possibility of being overtly optimistic, so I’ll probably just assume that the game will be okay, and the show, while not being for me, will still entertain. Dunno about the comics though, I feel like I read them more for nostalgia and comfort than anything else so I’ll probably try reading them too.
I agree but again, it’s just an alternative take. It’s never going to be the norm, if it does end up being the norm and taking over then I’d worry more.
“Being developed by Ex- Naughtydog Developers” So this must be where they got the brilliant idea for Knuckles. Case and point.
That’s the point. It’s a slapstick comedy geared towards children. What’s getting dumbed down exactly? As far as we seen the characters are still essentially the same as their main series counterparts. The game taking the parts of Naughty Dog platformers and Sonic signatures thrown in. I’m not seeing anything wrong here. Boom is a subseries doing it’s own thing. The main series is still around if you still want that Sonic. No reason why the two can’t co-exist.
The popularity of Sonic X caused alot of change in the Sonic game universe.
Sonic Boom’s popularity can lead to even more changes, worse changes.
Fucking watch the gameplay footage, look how hard their trying to push Knuckles as “THE idiot”. Sonic has never annoyed me with his cockiness before, EVER, hearing his constant banter in Boom makes me cringe. Tail’s is not Donatello.
I see RenyNoise doesn’t know what “literally” means.
Um…Sonic was always designed to appeal to a young America audience. It’s why he’s Red White and Blue…If this is a point against Boom, then it’s a point against Sonic as a whole.
Edit: He also doesn’t know what dumbed down means.
