You talking about the Zero Punctuation reviews? It's a stylistic choice for him, hence the title of his series. And even at his frantic pace I can understand Yahtzee far better than this guy. It's about enunciation, not just speed.

PLEASE, GameExplain, get a better narrator. I have to physically strain to try to understand what he's saying. S L O W D O W N. And enunciate. Sheesh.

...and yet he's the one that is consistently chosen to narrate these videos. If he's the public voice then yes, we can criticize if we don't like it. I find his voice incredibly hard to understand, and he speaks far too quickly. It's a common complaint for him, and if he was better at his job he'd try to improve…

But that's why I liked Sonic 2 because I don't feel like there was a level that was nearly as annoying as Carnival Night or Sandopolis. The closest to that kind of annoyance comes in Metropolis, with the evil, evil praying mantises who could throw their 'claws' (and were on the edge of every single platform!), and…

I will admit, the elemental shields (especially the electric shield) were awesome.

LOL, consider that suggestion to be good ol' internet hyperbole more than anything. But I'm still not a fan of what Sonic Team's done lately.

LOL I only wish I had that kind of power! I might have been too harsh in my first post. There are parts of the Adventure series I like, but the problems I have with the games far outweigh them.

I've played all three, actually. I really liked Colors and thought it was the most successful of the new Sonic games. Generations is a game that relies heavily on nostalgia goggles anyway because it's a remake of old levels. And I would have liked SA2 much more without the gem-hunting and Tails/Eggman mecha levels,…

Hey, thanks for the first unnecessary insult. All my conversations on here about Sonic were being oddly civil until now. It felt unnatural.

You wouldn't be the first ;)

The only problem I had with the half-pipe stages was that if Tails was tagging along, he'd ALWAYS get hit by the bombs. I would actively work to make sure Tails didn't collect any rings so that he wouldn't lose them before the checkpoint :)

I remember playing Sonic 3 before Sonic & Knuckles came out, absolutely confused by some of those areas that you could see but never access. The rock wall in Angel Island that you couldn't break, the underwater section of Launch Base that you could see but couldn't get to. Apparently Sonic 3 & Knuckles was always…

Oh, and even though they were both REALLY hard, I always preferred the half-pipe special stages in Sonic 2 over the Blue Sphere challenges of 3 &Knuckles. I would have literal heart palpitations when the sphere levels would speed up, even more so than when hearing the 'running out of air' underwater music!

Yeah, but it wasn't so much a level as it was just a big room. I remember seeing the title, "Hidden Palace Zone" for the first time when playing it and getting excited, and then being like, "oh. That's it?"

I know, right? An actual civilized discussion between Sonic fans on their favorite game? We should mark this day, I don't think it's happened before and it may never happen again! :)

Can't fault you for that. In terms of sheer size, content, and story, you can't beat Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The save system was nice too (no such thing on Sonic 2). There's a bit of nostalgia that has biased my decision too: Sonic 2 was the first game I ever pre-ordered, and I made my mom drive an hour to pick it up,…

I liked Generations but some of the later levels became much more frustrating than fun in my opinion. And I hated every single one of the boss fights.

LOL, yeah, I could play any of the 2D Sonic games and have a good time. I just think the Sonic 2 levels flowed better. The only level I thought could have been left out was Aquatic Ruin. Such short levels, and it was weird to have a water level where, if you did it right, Sonic never actually had to go underwater!

Nope. Buy yourself a Genesis and some Sonic games and give it a try :) And if you locked on the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge with most other Genesis games, you'd get a randomized level of the dreaded Blue Sphere special stage from Sonic 3.

I think the problem is, there's a new generation of Sonic players who grew up on the Adventure series and actually think that these games are good, despite the horrible camera & control problems. Sonic Team's new technique has been to try to appease the 2D and 3D fans at the same time with disastrous results. The…
