I'm sure it's better than 1 and 2, but I've played later 2D sonics like the Advance games and couldn't get into them either. (Granted those were DIMPS). Never played the 2d stages in generations more than a couple times either. It's just not really my thing.

Honestly you really can't compare Sonic 3 to the Advance titles, not even the 1st Advance game, or Generation's 2D stages to be blunt here, it's like comparing Apples to Oranges.

Not to mention the game is only $5 on Steam.

I'm so sorry

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1156 on:** September 27, 2016, 12:19:07 AM

Well Advance 1 wishes it was Sonic 3 and Knuckles, 2 does it's own thing and 3 wants to be Knuckles Chaotix, and probably a worse version of that.

Amatiramisu · **Reply #1157 on:** September 27, 2016, 12:19:56 AM

I'm gonna get Mania anyway, so if S3&K is anything like it then I'll contemplate coming back to it.

Phi · **Reply #1158 on:** September 27, 2016, 12:22:48 AM

I'm in the minority that likes Advance 2 the most in the trilogy.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1159 on:** September 27, 2016, 12:26:27 AM

Advance 2 was pretty good, but kind of hard to get used to and getting 100% completion is utterly BS.

Phi · **Reply #1160 on:** September 27, 2016, 12:45:16 AM

I just didn't like Advance 3's partner system.

It was a huge step up from Chaotix, sure, but it was too slow for me.

Yeah but that's work.
And also better reason, I don't have any of my controllers atm. My brother's borrowing them for the time being.

Police Girl · **Reply #1164 on:** September 29, 2016, 08:45:02 AM

The nice thing about Sonic is playing it with a keyboard feels completely natural since its a one button game.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1165 on:** September 29, 2016, 09:03:29 AM

Provided you're good at playing Platformers with a Keyboard.

Also whatever you do don't play as Sonic and Tails together unless you have a second Player, Tails with Sonic can make life difficult........

This is assuming you didn't use that cheat code in Advance 1 to have Sonic and Tails together and give you a taste of how AI Tails can screw with you.

Police Girl · **Reply #1166 on:** September 29, 2016, 10:14:49 AM

AI Tails is only a jerk in Sonic 2 where he can severely hinder one's progress in a special stage.

And while most platformers with a keyboard are hard (especially ones that use more than two buttons to control like Mario World or Megaman X) Sonic is really simple because you only ever need to use A and the arrow keys. If it weren't that simple they'd have never done those excellent mobile ports or those old PC ports back in the day.

Skip to 4:40 for Tails dickery.

Police Girl · **Reply #1168 on:** September 29, 2016, 12:38:33 PM

Oh yeah that's right.

Still the only use for Sonic + Tails is the jump assist, but you can only do that in multiplayer or with the Sonic 3 Complete romhack (which you should play over regular Sonic 3 and Knuckles, lots of nice little fixes and stuff to make the game more fun.)

Introducing a new stage: Mirage Saloon

Police Girl · **Reply #1170 on:** October 27, 2016, 02:15:55 AM

Oh [parasitic bomb] is that an actual [tornado fang]ing desert stage?

Its like they finally get to make this:

that they had to cut from the Sonic CD remake.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1171 on:** October 27, 2016, 07:25:47 AM

It also seems to take inspiration from Dust Hill Zone, the cut level in Sonic 2.

Police Girl · **Reply #1172 on:** October 27, 2016, 08:32:51 AM

Yeah my understanding its taking Dust Hill, Desert Dazzle and some extra Native American/Southwest influences.

Plus the Nack/Bean/Bark posters, the SegaSonic Popcorn Shop, the COPE and CPU on the subway train. Lots of little fun nods to the franchise's old days.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1173 on:** October 27, 2016, 08:36:25 AM

There's also a picture of a redesigned Egg Robo and Egg Robo's hand and gun are a level set piece in Mirage Saloon.

Current year: 2016

Trump is our new president.

Sonic gets the first good game in years.

The game is made by fans from the community and published officially by SEGA.

This is a pretty good year.
