Generations 3DS Chat - Oh look guys new rules (p.58)

[T-Min]

I think some people are misunderstanding what the term "boost to win" means. It doesn't mean "I spent most of the time holding the boost button", it means "I beat the level/boss by doing very little other than holding the boost button". It's a pejorative statement meant to refer to a lack of skill required to win certain levels and bosses. I.E. Every level and rival battle in the 3DS version.

I still don't know what the big deal with this game is. I understand it's not the absolute best Sonic game of all time, but its not the worst either. The games for a handheld system as well, its not going to be as good as the console version.

[SchemingMinor]

Is there anything the 3DS version adds or differs from the main console version of Generations like Sonic Colors did?

Multiplayer is one.

Different Stages (Besides Green Hill), Two-Player Co-op, Some kind-of profile card, Boss battles (Besides Silver, Shadow, Metal Sonic and Time Eater). That's all I know of.

So nothing different story wise? Rats, I was hoping for one extra layer added onto the plot.

Yes, it made everything worse.

[Burnt Ash]

Yes, it made everything worse.

It has multiplayer, that's something better...I guess.

[Xenos]

Yes, it made everything worse.

Except Time Eater.

And, I guess it gave us multiplayer. And different stages and bosses.

But 50% of it I don't (Opinion) like.

[Aquaslash]

You play as Modern Sonic in the Shadow boss fight. Derp.

But the piece I quoted was talking about Metal Sonic.

Boop boop a doop.

Also I finally got around to watching all of Thigolf's videos (A for effort, that's for sure), and I have two main issues.

Classic looks like Sonic 4. Right down to the boosters and homing attack chains. I don't like that at all.

Every modern level looks like SA2's Green Hill. That means it's a tiny strip of land over a bottomless pit. That's pretty freakin awful IMO. I haven't been following this version at all, so it's probably been discussed to death, but it's something that irritated me in every video. Also it looks like dimps is up to their old "challenge with precision platforming over a bottomless pit at the end of a level" tricks again. I'm sorry, but that got old in Sonic Advance. What was that, 2002? Meaning Dimps has been playing the same card for NINE YEARS. Is that all they know how to do?

At least the level gimmicks were cool, and at least Super Sonic looks right. Honestly though, I really want Dimps to stop making Sonic games and go back to fighting games. Dimps Sonic games are rife with the same bad decisions every single time, and they add worse ones on top of those.

Also the German VAs suck. Just wanted to get that out there.

@Shadz and Doctor MK: ...are we the only three who don't see that big a problem with the 3DS version?

@lolwut: New member blood?

add me to the band wagon

Actually if dimps makes A Sonic fighting game I'll be perfectly fine with that!It's something they can do almost without fail. But that's for another topic.

Compare this to Generations' (the real one) Chemical Plant.

I guarantee you Chemical Plant would look like that in JENURASHUNS.

Cool, but if you consider the HD version the Real one, your posting this on the wrong topic.

I don't know why are you talking about your "JENURASHUNS" fan game on this thread but i think you should get back on topic.

No, that actually looks a bit better than the 3DS version would. I really don't know what Dimps is doing...like I don't get how they look at this product and feel satisfied as developers.

He was referring to the fangame called the 3DS Version of Generations.

[lolwut]

...Mn...pretty sure the 3DS version it's not called "JENURASHUNS" Nor is a fangame.

He still should be talking about his fangame here, though.

[Kuzu]

...Are you guys seriously arguing over this game, really guys? I mean for fuck's sake, its just a fucking game, let it go. I understand this is the topic about the game, but all we've been doing is bitching like children.

SO MUCH WIN.

[McGroose]

So is it legal for me to say I actually Like this version as well?

It's obvious that the HD versions beats this version, but this one looks nice to IMO.

[Sean]

Alright, you know what. I'm locking this topic until [right before] Gen3DS is released. You all just lost the right to talk about this game for three two days.

[Sean]

So I was going to be nice and open the topic a little early today, but I decided, nope.

Instead what I'm going to do now is give you guys something to read to tide you over until tomorrow's NA release date. Don't worry, it's fun, and it can also affect your standing on the forums if you don't listen, so everybody wins.

Here's an example list of some of the dumb shit I do not want to see in this topic once I open it again (the quotes are actual posts I pooled from this thread):

- General rudeness. This should be obvious, and I haven't figured out why people can't seem to pull this off. This includes but is not limited to: "So you prefer holding right on the D-Pad over Generations' 3D gameplay?" or any of its variants in response to somebody who likes the game, initiating or jumping into arguments with the eagerness of rabid dogs, acting pedantic about your opinions, arguing over semantics, etc.

- Sarcasm. God damn it, am I sick of seeing this in this thread. We don't normally have a rule for this, but seeing as how it falls under the rudeness I described above, I am going to keep an open eye for this. Comments such as "you mean boosting in blue color and then boosting in purple? wow. BIG DIFFERENCE." are not allowed here anymore. Word your responses carefully, and don't be a jackass about it.

- Posting macros or video responses in an effort to be clever against the person you're debating. I don't care if you post a "witty" video response and back it up with a three page argument - don't do it anyway. We have a rule against posts that contain nothing but videos/macros, but for this topic, it yet again falls under looking like a general douchebag, so I'm cracking down on any post that contains them and uses them as a means of acting like a jerk to the opposing person, period.

- Complaining about people who don't agree with you. This includes (but again, is not limited to) bitching about other people in this topic who either like or dislike the game, about the fanbase, about the thread... In fact, you know what, just don't bitch about other people, period. Here's an example of what boils my piss: "wow! You people just don't know how to appreciate anything, do you?" It's a fucking video game guys, no one's going to cut off your arms if you don't frantically pound at the keyboard to make some "bold" statement (read: complaint) about people complaining.

In case you haven't gotten a memo, I am issuing free and immediate strikes to anyone who does any of the above. I should have wrote this in my last post so you guys would have aaaaall weekend to check it out, but oh well. Game's released tomorrow and that's when it opens, so damn it you better play nice.
