    I don’t buy Mario games anymore, I only have them if given as gifts, so I’ll still play them a bit. Why? Eh, I just don’t have much fun, it’s a subjective thing. See how easy that is to say? Why did the guy need to spend an entire video trying to make him not having fun in a game an objective thing, if you don’t like a game that’s fine. And him complaining that he wasting his money on a game he knew he wouldn’t like is just straight up infuriating, “I don’t like pistachio ice cream, so lemme just buy some and complain that I wasted my money!” See how stupid that sounds?

      A good thing from the classic games that mania also has is that being fast isn't the only way to have fun with the game. If you learn the level design, you'll know where all the best rewards are, be it shields, rings or lifes. Eventually letting you have like 60 lifes by the end of the game

      I find 2D Sonic games generally superior, even though my top 2 favorites are Frontiers and Unleashed respectively, with 2 being my favorite 2D game.

    This guy just completely misses the point of these modern sonic games. A lot of people like these games because of the ability to just go as fast as you want and be as stylish as you want. He's using his subjecting preference for "playing as other characters" and framing it as like a general benchmark a sonic game needs to have in order to be objectively good when inr reality it just is completely unnecessary for a lot of other fans.

    18:58 he was clickbited in to thinking it was going to be only levels from the classic games, since he doesn’t care about levels from sonic game from 2006 or sonic game from 200? Since he can’t remember them because he never played them in the first place. I find it funny that the experience gets worse as he goes on, considering he loves the classic games, probably played sa1 and 2 and heroes, didn’t like that and realised the games weren’t for him anymore and then 06 unleashed and colours he didn’t play at all. It’s kind of like he only enjoyed the game because it was a case of look they did the thing or look it’s the place from the game I remember!

    I've heard this thing somewhere about the experimentalist ( or something similar) and simulationist. One wants to expierience games as that an experience, emersing themselves in the world ,while the other want to experience the game as a game , where the only thing that matters is the end goal, being as efficient as possible in a metric that can be measured, like score or time. the boomer is basically an experimentalist that feels he can't emerse themselves into the sonic franchise , witch is fair since recent games appeal to the simulationist, with the ranking and it being more time based, but you don't gotta be a hater about it. Personaly I emerse myself by being in the action (becoming the character and thinking of what they would do, in this case, shadow hurrying since he has to stop black doom),rather than the place, unlike the boomer.

    2D? - Superstars is fully 2D.
    Can play as Sonic’s friends? - Superstars has 4 playable characters besides from Sonic.
    No Ranks? - Superstars has no ranking system or even a time limit. So you can explore the stages at your own pace.

While Sonic isn't just about speed per se, it is a major factor of gameplay given that momentum is usually the key mechanic for the series.
    Unrelated but Sonic Advance 3, while not liked by many and being a handheld game, handled other playable characters pretty well in my opinion. Each character had their own unique traits within their movesets that changed how you play the game. And while I would like to say that Sonic Rush also handled Blaze pretty well as another playable character, I am aware that there were only 3 or 4 things that made her different from Sonic.
    With his point of liking playing as Sonic's friends I think that Sonic is the closest to the kind of game that he wants. Sounds like he want's something faster than Mario but slower than Sonic, something with multiple playable characters, some 3D platforming, something casual... He should just play Kirby... that's 3/4 of what he's looking for it seems.
    I definitely see that he grew out of the Sonic franchise and I too have my gripes with the current direction of the series but I think his video should have been prefaced as a discussion video where he goes over his perspective and why he doesn't like the franchise anymore... Even though some of his points will still make him look silly.

    Look im a new gen sonic fan who just turned out to play the most hardest sonic game when he was fucking 5 (sonic unleashed)
    And I can say that boost is more for me than the adventure formula...
    I dont like PRECISE movement with speed building. But i know people out there who enjoy it. (AHM AHM SA2, P-06, etc)
    Then I go to the boost games, which I grew up with. And comfortable with. AKA probably most of adventure formula fans are.
    I just like maintaining my speed and precise TIMING and not movement. Since I personally suck at anything related to precise movement with any controller.
    Which is why I prefer playing sonic generations A LITTLE BIT more than shadow generations.
    Because shadow goes for the frontiers style of movements where he can make turns as if hes automatically drifting.
    I like how sonic was controlled like a car when it comes to that aspect. Since you wont have to react with the left stick and just move it slightest bit to the left. And all of a sudden you didnt even hit the spring or whatever you were trying to run into. Which is my main problem with adventure games. And a little bit with shadow, but I found how versatile his "side step" (idk whats it called since it barely resembles side step) can be held to make it go to different distances. So, as much as a light push to the buttons and itll do the job for me.
    Hey, without the adventure games though, I wouldnt be here to enjoy boost games. Hopefully those games get remastered, probably improved for people like me and leave a legacy setting like sonic/shadow generations.

    Everything after the first game is trash for things that...that first game also had
    One example would be "The same gameplay all the time" or "the gameplay has only got worse" gen 1 is incredibly barebones and from gen 1 to 4 there were so many changes to battle mechanics it's a completely different games, just like how sonic one is very barebones and the franchise gets more complex while not making the gameplay any more difficult to understand, there's just more to master. What matter here isn' the gameplay style, but how it is implemented into the game
    Also, let me point out that completely idiotic and outright braindead "going as fast as you can" argument

    Also Shadow Generations was actually amazing. I don't think it's the best Sonic game, but it's up there. If the gameplay and level design was more like Shadow Gens, I wouldn't actually mind more boost titles.

    I missed the original Generations, but heard nothing but praise for it for YEARS, so I always wanted to experience it, it now that SoXSh Gen is in my console I am severely disappointed, and I'm simply not enjoying the game, despite forcing myself to come back to it every few days to try to finish.
    (Sonic Generations) The first section of stages are just okay, nothing too offensive until Sky Sanctuary, which I think was awful. The second section of stages were a drastic improvement as far as level design goes, and I'm up to the 06-Colors section, having finished Modern Sonic's portion, and Crisis City is actually FANTASTIC as far as level design goes. Rooftop whatever is pretty good too! The Colors stage was inoffensive, but felt like it overstayed its welcome a bit. I haven't played Classic of this section of the game yet.
    On the whole the level design ranges from mid to pretty damn good, but what has completely ruined the experience for me, and makes this game unenjoyable, are the physics. I've discussed this elsewhere, but both Modern and Classic Sonic are so damn heavy and stiff. Their turning speed is horrible, and jumps just don't clear as much distance as someone accustomed to Sonic games would expect. I did some research, and apparently the physics are pretty identical to the original, and luckily I'm not the only person who feels the game controls badly. Dated, is the kindest description I've read from others critical of the physics. Finally, the inclusion of the Drop Dash is, as always, fantastic, but having jump, homing attack, AND drop dash all mapped to a single button is obnoxious as fuck.
    All of this is ironic because I disliked Superstars for the exact opposite reason. Its stage design was HORRENDOUS, but the physics are like PEAK 2D Sonic, and all characters feel and play EXACTLY like a veteren of the series would expect (save for Super Trip, her hitbox, for want of a better word, is a little awkward, but it's also a super form, so there's no harm at the end of the day...) and if the state design was better (and the emerald powers gimmick was dropped--a different conversation), and it wasn't trying to be New Super Mario Bros. but much worse, Superstars could have been Mania 2.
    As for Shadow Generations I've only played up to the first boss, and while he plays much better than Sonic(s), the experience so far has been just okay, and I'm unsure when I'll return to finish it. I do have to agree that Shadow's hub world is pretty underwhelming, which is a shame because I'm a HUGE Adventure stan, and I will defend its hub worlds to my last breath.
    It's important to point out what I think is obvious, a game can feature an element you like and still be bad. Multiple characters and hub worlds, for example. Some games implement them well, others not so much, but I think those points are glossed over in this video, and rather disingenuously, despite it being a pretty on-point analysis.

They are 2 different things with their own mechanics and different concepts and while one is always joked around being unfinished, P0-6 is literally unfinished missing alot from the original, then people who think they are the same thing only play P-06 and pretend like base 06 is the best thing ever solely forming their opinion from the remake.
      I don't have anything against P0-6, but if you really don't have one of the consoles to play 06 on and have a PC that can run P0-6, may aswell just sail the seven seas to play the original via emulation. At least you won't be getting that biased of an perspective from how the original was, bad or not (even though it actually has some more glitches that way), and P0-6 is technically not much different from pirating the original, since they are basically just 06 levels floating in internet, but obviously im not fully trying to retcon what i said about the 2 being different.
