so was this any fun at all? I was thinking about giving it a go for some Cold Steel related laughs but it'd be nice if there was something good buried under all the crap I've heard about it.

It's not worth it anon. The character creator is the only fun thing about it at all. Mods make the game slightly better but if you need mods to make a game better then something is wrong with the game. Literally everything besides character creation is either shit at worst or mediocre at best.

First and foremost, "Infinite" is not some hilarious future fallen hero, just a whiny faggot that Shadow gave an inferiority complex.

The levels are pathetically short and bosses have fucking checkpoints. Stay away and just enjoy Mania.

this, although I usually wait until those games are done being patched and all DLC is released. I always try to pirate them instead as zenimax/bethesda don't deserve money for all the fucked up shit they pull in the industry. every game they've put put since oblivion is worthless without mods.

I would unironically try out Fallout 4 if you weren't locked into being a parent with a murdered spouse and kidnapped child narratively. The alone just obliterates the kind of control and freedom I want over building an original character.

I really feel I'm missing out on the weapon upgrades system and all the entertaining looking building I could spend literally hours on with our even touching the plot.

It was fucking boring, man. Just hours of waiting for the challenge to begin, and none of the concepts are put to good use. It almost felt like the whole thing was a scripted sequence, even when I was very clearly in control. The physics feel half-assed, which is amazing since this is the big debut of their new engine, and the level design is bottom tier. The character creator, while holding great potential, is skeletal, and basically pointless. The Avatar's gameplay doesn't know what it wants to be, and is not fun as a result.

The plot is completely tone deaf. It wants to be semi-serious, like SA2 was, and cover a topic as grim as global war, but it retains the tone of Colors, Generations, and Lost World. I have absolutely no idea how they managed to fuck up that badly, unless they were told by executives partway through that they had to keep the Boost Era tone. This was their chance to reclaim the positive and nostalgic elements of the DC era in the modern era, and it's obvious that's what they were trying to do, given the attempted tone, character creator, and inclusion of Infinite. But it's also obvious that nobody involved in understood what made those games' gameplay and plot so enjoyable despite their severe, horrible, glaring flaws. The soundtrack isn't very good either, despite a few good tracks.

I borrowed this game, so I didn't put any money into it, yet I still felt like I didn't get my investment's worth, and that the value of my time had been disrespected. It feels like a bad fanfiction that Sonic Boom would rip on. I haven't looked into modding, so I don't know what potential is available there, but if you're only planning on playing the game vanilla, just watch the cutscenes on YouTube for the memes, and move on with your life instead.

Pros

>OC maker is fun

>Episode Shadow levels are ok

>Some of the levels with Infinite are cool

>Robotnik finally gets to take over the world

>Sanic is now official Sonic lore

Cons

>Sonic levels are glitchy as fuck and and jumping off the rails in the space level will send you hurdling into space

>Levels are very short and forgettable, most of which can be completed in less than a minute

>Classic Sonic controls like shit and feels like a rehashed idea from a much better game

>Some of the Wispons, namely the whip, sends you crashing into foes and flying off cliffs

>Chaos is teased as a boss and dies in a cutscene

>Quick time events

Sonic Forces was a good idea that was poorly executed. Check it out if you're really curious since the game can be finished in a single sitting, but I wouldn't recommended paying for it. I'd honestly love if Sega did this game again if they fixed all the problems with Forces and gave the player the option to fight for the Eggman Empire.

Farces is some of the most demoralizing shit design I've ever seen in anything in my entire fucking life. I'm scared for videogames more than anything even western AAA retards can do because even feminist employing Insomniac can still make a decent, more polished game and that was even a fucking licensed property. Sonic Team has the most baffling pantsu on head retarded management and development. How the actual fuck did a literally who that has no experience in that area be put in charge of stages over the lead designer for Colors and Generations, Okada Takayuki?

Brownie points I assume. It speaks volumes about Sega's decision making when they're trying to sell a game as being made by the people that made the good games and refused to use the original crew. The ONLY other Sonic game that the lead game designer of Forces worked on was Colors, and he was a fucking planner. I'd say that Sega would be wise to backpedal on their decisions and go back to what worked, but I've been down this road too many times to know that they won't learn a damn thing.

I'd like to play Mania but I think it's been 15 years since I've last played a Sonic game(and the last one I remember playing was Heroes). There are a lot more versions of 2D sonics that I thought. Just emulate the genesis versions?

That's the starting point. You'll hear arguments about whether 2 or 3 is better, I personally prefer 2, but both are good. CD is one that most people like, but it definitely has a different focus, and is much slower than the original games.

If you're really bored, you can try Knuckles' Chaotix, it's a strange gimmick with tiny glimpses of fun but far too many downfalls.

Sonic 4 is shit, both episodes of it.

The Advance games are worth a shot, but they're nowhere near as good as the originals, and some people outright hate them. I didn't find them that good, mainly due to the level design.

Similarly, Rush is worth a try, and they're probably the few Sonic games between 3&K and Colors that most people liked. They have a similar gameplay style to the Boost formula of the later ones, but in 2D. I thought they were okay.

I think there were some PSP games as well, but these are the ones I know.

It's bad. You can see the potential there, but it's not at all realized. Stages are short and the most railroaded they've ever been. Every cool set piece is relegated to a qte. The physics are fucking awful. Modern Sonic's music is samey, Classic Sonic's music sounds like shit. Classic Sonic is completely tacked on. The story can't decide whether it wants to be a bit serious or not, is terribly paced, and amounts to practically nothing. Despite Shadow and Chaos being teased as returning villains, you fight neither of them. Many characters are there just to be there, and have no actual importance whatsoever.

OP, I tried to be optimistic for this game when it was first announced, but any hope I had for this game died off around the 3rd stage.

Every stage is extremely short; you'll be spending about a minute or two average per stage. The 3D sections feel incredibly lazy, and the 2D sections are okay at best. Your OC plays like Sonic but with gimmicks. I actually didn't think the OC's gameplay was too bad, but it wasn't really great either. Classic Sonic is a total downgrade from his Mania incarnation and is the worst part of the game. The first stage alone gives enough of an impression of how mediocre this is gonna be.

When the first stage of a SONIC game is boring, you don't even need to smell the smoke to know there's a fire. In addition to the gameplay, the plot tries to be too ambitious and only manages to make itself look ridiculous and tryhard. The cutscene after Green Hill I GUESS GREEN HILL'S LOOKING MORE LIKE S A N D HILL NOW is cool enough; all the enemies wreck Sonic's shit, Infinite cucks Sonic of his 2fast status, all that jazz. The scene after is a black screen with white text telling you that Eggman successfully enslaved the world, Sonic is gone, and shits fucked. Then it cuts to the main cast huddled together in some make-shit HQ for their rebel group. Commander FUCKING Knuckles gives you the rundown of how things are looking bleak, Tails has apparently "lost it", and they actually, unironically suggest and accept the idea that Sonic is fucking dead. Later, Tails for whatever reason can't repair Omega, and Chaos 0 jumps him, causing Tails to bend over and prepare his asscheeks because he's scared shitless of the water monster he bravely held his own against in SA1. I guess both the writers and developers thought Adventure fans were nonexistent because, not only is this Chaos' only scene, but you don't even get to FIGHT HIM. Mania Sonic saves him via deus ex machina and does nothing of any importance for the entire story. By now you're thinking that the story is at least on SA2 levels of over-the-top and nuts, right? You'll have a whacky, B-movie tier action story to entertain you along with your going fast, right? Fat chance, kiddo. The scene after the OC's stage shows Sonic is actually not in any harm at all, despite being tortured for 6 months, he gets rescued in under 5 minutes, yadda yadda.

Remember the huge villain group that Sega tried to hype people up for? It turns out none of them are actually real! Yeah, they're all just illusions Infinite made with the Phantom Plot-Device! Speaking of Infinite, he doesn't have a cool backstory like being some god from ancient times that ties neatly back into the lore of the older games, nor is he a being created by some madman in an effort to find a cure for his dying daughter(niece? I can't remember), nor does he have some grand motivation or scheme to joining Eggman and conquering the world. Infinite is a fucking loser who's squad of mercs got their asses handed to them by Shadow, himself included, and got so rump rattled that he put on an edgy mask and got a reality altering crystal placed in him just to say "Fuck you"

TL;DR I'm tired, bored, and really hated this game. Shadow, in an ironic twist, proved to be the only saving grace this game had. OC customization is fun but not worth it. The best part of the game is Eggman winning and killing the furries. Fuck the gameplay, fuck the story, fuck Infinite, fuck Sega, fuck Sonic Team, fuck me for being optimistic about this game after Mania's success, I'm going back to playing SA2, call me when Chao Karate comes back

Basically what everyone in this thread is saying, it's not unplayable, but what's the fucking point? It's a watered down version of Generations with piss-easy, borderline automatic levels, fucked-up physics, an unremarkable soundtrack with a few stand-out songs, and a half-baked plot that wants to be SA2 but just isn't fleshed out enough. Really the whole game comes off as unfinished, and I wonder if that's down to a shit-ton of executive meddling how can Forces tie into Mania when the latter didn't even start development until two years after they started the former?, but that's speculation. The only real reason to play it is if you're the kind of person that's so far in that they'll play any Sonic game, regardless of quality.


d8e9af  No.15454094

Honestly it's a solid 7. A lot of people say it's Generations but worse, but it's more like Colors but better. The avatar system is probably the best thing they've done with the series since the Chao Garden (still not as good). The plot is kind of a huge mess, but it's better than having no fucking plot at all imo. The game just feels kind of incomplete, especially near the end (what the heck was with null space?), but it's still fun and it's at a budget price. I had fun with it and I go back to it every now and then.

>>15454094

>colors but better

Colors had some actual content and challenge to it, though. Plus, the music is better, the zones are actually original, the physics aren't fucked like they are in Forces, and Tails isn't a gigantic pussy. Plot in video games is secondary to most everything else. I'd rather have a non-existent story than an offensively bad one.
