Sonic Superstars

Sonic Mania was the triumphant Mega Man 9 return, this is Mega Man 11. Built off the old stuff but updated. Edit: Ok, Mike gets it.

As a huge fan of the early games, this is pretty good and I'm into it. Switch version runs quite well, with the only tech issue being minor load times that feel weird in a Genesis style game.

Some kind of "Fast View"

Another quality Sonic product to trigger the bandwagon haters. Good.

@romination: yikes, uh, quick live stream without knowing about the game first and jumping in, maybe not going as deep as a playdate?

Can't load the video on the site. I'm guessing it's the usual giantbomb video on how they finally made a "good" sonic game, and they ignore any they liked in the past. I don't really wanna watch if it's just more bashing about how sonic was never good or so on from people who likely kept the mindset that anytime he slows down it's bad, but also it's bad if you just press forward, but also it's bad if i hit anything just pressing forward because he's moving too fast. I for different opinions just that i heard this take in every sonic quicklook i'd rather they just skip the games and make some blanket claim that the games bad no matter what.

Most people with these takes I honestly feel they don't get past the first hour of any of these games since they always slow down somewhat and aren't just about going forward and pressing straight. When you see that most % of games aren't finished I get it. Why would someone finish or nearly complete a game they hate. I had pals put down sonic mania after the first level cause they said yup just another sonic game and wouldn't take no for an answer when i told them the level they played was the same from the old days on purpose to flip it on its head the next level keep going. Its the discourse i expect at this point from sonic haters and the response is text dumps like this defending it even when i don't think the games are perfect either just think the massive craps these games get is bubsy levels when im playing and like this is fine. Also hate that sega takes all the criticism mostly from the hater section and tries to persuade haters to like their games when at best they 7/10 it (sonic frontiers) or like mania (which is basically sonic 1-4 remix) and finally say it's good. It's been that way for a while you just hated on it. Rant done XD.

Great video -- I love the new GB Plays. It's pretty much a renewed, more thorough Quick Look where you have cameras ON (which is VERY welcome). The more videos on games, the merrier.

I was a little bit torn on Sonic, but looks like I can safely skip it or wait for a sale.

GB East Playdate x Video Review

@tolkoto Looks like he's called Fang the Hunter now.

@topcyclist: I think the only parts of Sonic games that are worse than the hold-to-go-fast-and-hit-things parts are the slow-down-and-do-some-terrible-platforming parts.

lol but then you just explained that you think all of sonic is bad...slow bad...fast bad lol. Fair enough most hate sonic but a bit harsh. I had some fun in last levels of sonic where platforming is harsh but i also get that the fast parts are most fun but it gets old. Not sure how mario does it but doing the same thing in his games for years (besides the same gimmicks most platformers add to spice things up) works. Mario though has some tight controls so maybe its that. Also mario made it apparent early story doesnt matter so dont dock me for that and sonic has a comic etc so they try to push a narrative...just overall hard way up hill. That said i though against all in GB...sonic 1 was more fun and looked better than Mario 1...Allow the hate but i liked them both. Something unique about the graphics for the time and speed. Mario also felt a bit slippery back then...mario 2 on gameboy hate all you want was my fave for a while though. Anyway wont argue against someone who thinks sonic is worst than mario game wise...he won along time ago due to bad management and not keeping with the times. Mario is timeless it seems.
