Autism Sonic the Hedgehog

[KingofTheRing]

Other than that, what else is there to say? The game controls... fine, I hate that Shadow has a double jump (double jumps are for gay fat retards like Mario, air dashes are cooler anyway) and I feel that Shadow could be a bit slippery to move around especially in White Space where there's all of these tiny platforms you have to land on but moving Shadow around wasn't too much of a struggle. Doom Surf is an exception to this thoughever especially in 3D places like White Space. I still think Generations and Unleashed are more aesthetically pleasing and I hate that fugly jumpball and boost aura they've been obsessed with since Forces but I wouldn't say this game looks bad, you can see a lot of graphical improvements even comparing the Forces and Shadow Generations versions of Sunset Heights together. All in all I had a good time with this game but I feel that it's sorely overrated. The fact that people are happily and easily saying this surpasses Sonic Generations in quality baffles me, the game falls short of Sonic Generations in almost every category outside of story and even the story I feel is lacking. I know Sonic Generations has a nothingburger of a story but it works there because there's no need for it to have one, this game does yet at the same time never really reaches its full potential. I can't wait for some of the hype to die down and for people to realize that this game isn't the second coming of Jesus.

I haven't beaten SxSG due to performance issues but after reading a majoirty of your message, I might jump back in and give it a proper go-around as I've been putting it off in favor of replaying the previous titles ever since release and I couldn't agree more with your points quoted above albeit (from what I've played), especially those pertaining to the graphics and controls.

from episode 3, knuckles will destroy all goyim

I keep forgetting how fucking odd that episode was, I pirated the series the day of release and binged it in one sitting and God that episode stuck out like a sore thumb.
I remember the leakage that episode caused on Xitter, Paramount really shot themselves in the foot releasing that episode at the peak of "muh free palpatine" trend.
I still have my old rankings of the Knuckles show episodes saved on my notes app, as I ranked them as I went along and apparently I gave Episode 3 a "3.4/10" compared to the highest "8.8/10" being Episode 1 as I actually quite enjoyed the Knuckles series and by-extension, able to bear the Bowling main-plot.
I really enjoyed the intro to the Knuckles show now that I think about it, and I still remember it well an entire 9 months after the release of the show.
The CD jewel case being the setting for the intro with the animation happening on the Discs themselves was super fucking neat, even if the animation really did not represent the show well at all.
