Joe Redifer never beat Sonic the Hedgehog

[Emerald Rocker]

yo

[blueraven]

Which one?

[Emerald Rocker]

The first one.

[blueraven]

I heard that shit's true.

[Joe Redifer]

I beat it, but I never beat parts 2 through whatever as I tend to get bored with them.  I beat Sonic Adventure 1 and 2.  But honestly, other than Sonic 1 and 2, I am not a big Sonic fan.

What about Sonic CD?

[Joe Redifer]

Hmmm... I may have beaten it with a level select.  I am pretty pathetic when it comes to Sonic games.  They just aren't my cup o' tea.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Well, I'd have to say that you having already beaten the first one, that Sonic 1 is the most difficult of the original trilogy.  Sonic 3 is easy cause of the save feature, and Sonic 2 is not too difficult.  Sonic and Knuckles is pretty damn tough if I remember correctly.

[Raizen1984]

I may have beaten the first Sonic game; like, a really long time ago.  I can't quite remember, but I used to be able to get a lot farther than I can now.

I never could beat Sonic 3.  I got as far as the Casino Zone and there is always a room you get locked in and I can't figure out how to escape.  Stumped me then, still stumps me now.

When you're on that rotating, red and white platform thingy trapped between two walls, hold down the UP and DOWN buttons to control it. I remember renting Sonic 3 when it first came out and getting stumped at the same part.

[nat]

Me too. I was stuck there for years.

[Tatsujin]

For me as well:

Sonic 1 [x----------------l------------------] all the other Sonics.

[Joe Redifer]

Agree with Tats.

I agree that the save feature in part 3 kind of helps, but I think the main reason I can't beat any of the others is the giant wall of BORING that stands in my way.  I can appreciate the first one and to some degree the second one (the existence of Tails still pisses me off, though).

[termis]

I also gotta say, Sonic as a platformer is simply too gimmicky for my tastes.  You just zoom around missing 80% of the level layout.

[nat]

Sonic overstayed his welcome (ie, all the sequels) but Sonic CD is one of the greatest platformers in existence. Yes, even better than Sonic 1.

[Keranu]

Agree 110%. I like the other ones, but the first was the perfect gaming experience for me. One of Keranu's all time favorites.

[Joe Redifer]

It is impossible to agree more than 100%. I simply will not stand for it.  Please reduce your agreement to 100%.  Thank you.

I never could figure out the whole "past, present, future" thing in Sonic CD. My brain tells me to stop playing that game after about 17 minutes. I hate that because I really am trying to get into it.

Haha my dad pissed off his boss by saying something very similar recently. After the boss mentioned something about giving a 110%, my dad responded, "Well I can only give you 100% at most, and I probably won't even give you that much."

You go into the Past (which is harder than going into the Future) to destroy some weird machine hidden somewhere in the level. You can see it in the Present in its broken-down state, but you can't affect it in the Present. If you destroy them in the first two Acts, the third Act has a different look to it. Destroy all the machines in the game for an alternate ending. Also, it seems that the robot Sonic also hangs out in the Past as a hologram, which you can also destroy. I don't know the meaning of that though.

Cool! Now I can start to get around the confusing stage layouts.

What Rover said.... And that is the whole beauty of the game. Pure genius. It adds...... well, a shitload of replay value.

Stop. Go to Lame Trash Talk thread.

Sonic was fun until Adventure. I loved the Egg-robo story, but otherwise the game was a breeze. The game was great until I kept getting messages from that god forsaken ball of light ( knuckles mom ), about stepping on ground that should have been natural functions. Then you get all these crappy upgrade. In Adventure they kept the upgrades to a minimum but in A2 they just let them hang out.

One thing every Sonic fan knows is that Robotnik is the one who augmented the areas for his robots. That is why those things are all over the place. Which made logic sense in every Sonic game until Adventure.

To make things worst, Sonic 2 on the Genesis is what prevented the Sega CD from thriving. Seriously the Sega CD was not expensive for a parent to buy, and it would have been a game changer. for Sega fans.

I usually have to exert more effort to get this kind of reaction.

[nat]

"yo" is a fightin' word these days

[Mishran]

I actually enjoyed the original trilogy. Sonic and Knuckles, not so much. Sonic 3 and Knuckles... oh baby!

Adventure, I thought was rather good. Got more play in the Chao Garden than the actual game. Adventure 2, well, I feel they tried too hard with that one. Seems to long and drawn out. Owned it since the Dreamcast release, but never got into it enough to wanna beat it.

The games for Gameboy Advance are also fun, but the special stages (even finding them) drive me bat shit crazy!

[Mathius]

The special stages in all the Sonic games drive me bat shit crazy!

Your dad is my hero.

I enjoyed the special stages in Sonic 2. Sonic 1 not so much WORSE BY FAR...

Sonic 2's are the best of the bunch. But even in those levels they can be frustratingly difficult.

LOL Yes i know almost impossible with single player but much easier with 2 players.
