First of all, no it's not. Give me a reason why.Quote:
PC Kid is extremely over rated, Wonderboy 3, Parasol Stars and DDD rip it a new one.
Second, DDD and Parasol Stars are single screen platformers, so comparing them to PC Kid doesn't make any sense at all. Never played Wonderboy 3.
And Sonic still sucks. If I wanted my character to control like he's on ice at all times, I'd play a hockey game.
There, he just said what I want tosay, more or less. Sonic has some brilliant level design, and used the (relatively) sophisticated physics engine wonderfully.Quote:

The Waterfall zone has some great chain enemy jumps, that can only be accomplished with a perfect jump, while moving at a blazing speed. Once you've mastered a level, you can fly through it and take out a lot of enemies, with perfect timing. It's really an ingenious design and very original.
Take his word and mine, it kicks Bonk's ass.Quote:

Sonic's control is very, very precise. It does not have the drifty-floaty controls of early platformers. I don't know how you could even say that. The momentum physics are the best part of the game, it's all about using your momentum, not fighting it.Quote:

the thing that really irritates me about sonic games is that despite all of the interesting level design, the damn camera is zoomed in much too close to your character. getting decent times is more an exercise in memorization than reflexes.
Name a game of a similar nature where getting a good time doesn't require memorizing the level.Quote:

You know, in many ways, I feel that the spin dash was a bad addition to the sonic game. It made life easier, but doing well in Sonic 1 demanded more because you couldn't just stand at the bottom of a hill and dash. Maintaining your speed took more skill and planning.
But the dash didn't ruin that aspect or anything, but it was definately a dumbing down of the game.
i suspected that someone would say that, so i changed "good" to "decent". :sweat: while i agree with you, i still feel that sonic moves much too fast to have the camera zoomed in so close. i have a similar complaint with nights, but it doesn't bother me nearly as much in that game.Quote:

Ok I finally give in, this thread title made me laugh a few times and since it's seems to still hang around like a bad fart I might as well post in it ;)
Just to point out how hypocritical this is of course… you say you can understand backlash so that would mean that you know not everyone agrees on or likes the same games and people generally find faults in different places or not at all, but then you say you can’t understand why some people would give a game a bad rating or find fault with it because they didn’t like it or parts of it (example in this case: Donkey Kong Country), so you don’t agree with them but yet you understand… but you don’t understand… ok my head hurts now, way to much thinking and not enough reason :p :)

I don't get it either....
I still enjoy Super Mario Bros 1 and 3.
Mario 64 is so much better than NiGHTS. Words can't express how much better it is. I can't even think of an argument. Not that NiGHTS is a bad game... there's just not that much there. And yes, I have played it, extensively. There was a time when it was the only Saturn game I had, and I kept playing it and showing it to friends to prove how "worth it" the Saturn purchase was. But NiGHTS is pretty far down my list of best games ever made, and Mario 64 is not.
Nights is definately overrated, though I love it very much. But frankly, so is Mario 64. I dunno which I'd favor, really. But Nights is very much its own thing. NiGHTs is about playing for score. Mario is about... finding all the crap, and farting around I guess.
They're both good games, but I think I'd favor NiGHTs, just because I still like to give it a spin every now and then, just to relax and topple an old score, and I never really play Mario 64 any more.
Crazy talk. Pure dementia.Quote:
