Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode: II

[TGE]

It is believed that Sonic Colors was a filler game. That would make perfect sense since Generations must have taken lots of time.

[Cobalt Blue]

I guess I find it weird that they would plan so far ahead for an anniversary game with new and old gameplay when they hadn't even settled on something good and well done in the first place. But it's possible I guess, development times for big companies like Sega are bizarre sometimes.

its called trial and error. it aplies to basically everything.

[Sengir]

I've never really played much of a Sonic game, is the StH4 series any good at all?

I only played 1 when visiting my uncle's house, and most of the time we'd play the Dreamcast instead.
I also rented Sonic Heroes for like a week but I don't remember much.

[Vipershark]

no

edit- there are some people who like it, but in no way does it even get close to comparing to the original titles

[Sengir]

Are the originals any good? I got bored with the first Sonic pretty fast

[Vipershark]

Sonic 2 is my personal best game of all time, but nostalgia aside, yes.

I personally don't like Sonic 1 as much (though it's still a good game) but Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles are great.

[Kriven]

Sengi~: I personally like StH4 a lot. It seems to be a hit or miss title, so you're probably going to have to try it out for yourself.

but in no way does it even get close to comparing to the original titles

That wasn't the question o-O

[Cobalt Blue]

its a sequel, its implied that you have to make a comparision with the previous titles.

[Kriven]

No... it's not. That's really just complete supposition on your part.

[Vipershark]

it really is

sega specifically said that sonic 4 happens after s3k, making it canon part of the original series
therefore, it gets compared to the rest of the original series.

[Kriven]

Right, but that wasn't even the question. The question was "Is it good?" not "Is it good in comparison to the other ones?" They're two entirely different statements, and they don't need to go hand-in-hand.

[TGE]

In theory, they are. The physics weren't that bad. You got used to it fast. It's just that some people like it, and others don't.
I do, actually, I loved Ep 1 and I'm sure that will be the same with EP 2

[Vipershark]

Right, but that wasn't even the question. The question was "Is it good?" not "Is it good in comparison to the other ones?" They're two entirely different statements, and they don't need to go hand-in-hand.

but

i answered that
it clearly says no there

i was just adding onto it

"I didn't notice it, so the problem doesn't exist!"

"Even though most people say that it's shit, I don't think it is, so it isn't!"

[Cobalt Blue]

its a matter of taste, carry on.
