Great !! The Game feel like an Evolution From Sonic Colors and Generations. Great Music, Story, Gameplay and more. And i also like the section between 2D and 3D. i think people only said that Forces is bad because they are jealous how good Sonic Games is. Honestly, much more better then Mario

Finished the game. Story was funny as expected and all the levels are 2 minutes long. Definite rent / steam sale game, but I'll still likely get all the S ranks and red rings.

30 + some amount of extra stages from getting red rings. It's definitely more colors than generations.

Btw I'm playing Mania for the first time and it owns. It says I unlocked the Sonic CD peelout but it won't let me do it, I thought you held up and tapped jump or am I misremembering?

You have to activate it on the secrets menu using a nosave file and you lose the drop dash. I'd rather have the drop dash

Ohhhh ok so I have to start a new game for that stuff? Gotcha . If I finish the game without all the Chaos Emeralds will I have to recollect them all in a single playthrough to get Super Sonic or do they carry over ? I'm pretty sure it's too late for me to grab them all at this point so if finishing with an incomplete amount is pointless I'll just save the bonus stages for next time

After you beat the game all the giant rings respawn and you get level select, so you can just go back and get the Emeralds at your leisure.

I never considered myself a huge Sonic fan but I guess I owned a Genesis and not an SNES growing up .... playing through Mania now and it's crazy how deeply all of the classic Sonic sound effects have sunk their tendrils into my brain. These should have been on the Autism Test I had to take multiple times as a kid instead of questions like "do you have a fascination with building elaborate mousetraps?"

did the same team from generations work on forces? its just so baffling that they would gently caress up every aspect of the game so badly. like the guy who calls the shots is a huge weirdo that thinks Sonic 06 was the most amazing game ever

when they make a sonic thats cutscene heavy and involves all the bizarre 06 characters i think "who in the world did they make this for?" like surely the people that like that stuff are a super tiny cult of idiots while the vast majority just want more generations/mania

Forces was made by a much smaller team than previous games and the design leads were all relative amateurs, aside from the writer/director/producer whose last directed game was 06

the rumour is that there was another cancelled game in between the last game (Lost World) and this one and that Forces' budget/schedule suffered for it

ah thats the perfect person to trust with the big new sonic game lol. i heard lost world didnt exactly do well (hell it was a wiiu exclusive for a good while) so that probably also stung.

well at least mania gave me my sonic fix for a good while

Apparently sonic forces has a comparable budget to super Mario Odyssey lol. Due to years of team shuffling and restructuring and tumultuous business. But still...lmfao

if the rumours are true then it was the cancelled game, Forces and the mobile game Sonic Runners which was doing okay but was allegedly cancelled because they needed the manpower for Forces and the Puyo Tetris Switch port

the level design lead had only worked on one sonic game before and everyone else on the level design team had zero experience. lol

Really watching some of the speedrunners do individual level runs there's the pieces of a good game there. There are a lot of really cool tricks you can do to go fast but the levels are so short that they end before it gets interesting. It's a shame that they felt like they had to include 4 different gameplay styles when 1 would have been preferable (either tag team or just modern) and given them room to come up for unique challenges for those styles. As it stands we just just got 4 shallow fragments of a game plus a oc maker.

I wanna be interested in Forces but it's really hard after watching some gameplay videos and comparing them to the last 70+ hours of Mario Odyssey I just played.
