@hypnotoad honestly Sonic hasn't gotten anything good since SLW which sucks, Sega sucks on time crunching and being too strict with the direction of their IPs doomed '06, Boom, Forces and now the Colors remaster. Here's hoping for a good Sonic since "the dark age" was never the "dark age". Also yeah I'm excited for the two Metroid games coming out, especially Dread.
@hypnotoad yea it doesn't sound like you love Sega since everything you said so far is about Sonic games being boring and uncharming and just plainly being about speed with no "finnesse". There are slower paced Sonic games that are slower than some Mario games. it's the concept that matters and how well it is executed. Not some biased "oh yeah one of them has a few games where there are ingame cutscenes while the other game doesn't have cutscenes" (spoiler alert: it does, and so does SMW in the beginning of levels and the end of castles). You also called someone's opinion "wrong" for liking Rayman Origins more. We both know you're a Nintendo fanboy.
@hypnotoad I 100%ed SMW when I was 5, one of the easiest games I know. Also one of the best. Age doesn't come into this, I don't care if you're 5, 27, or 100 years old. If you can't make good arguments, you're failing.
@hypnotoad I can smell the hypocrisy from all the way in outerspace. Mario games have their fair share of mid-level or beginning-of-the-level cutscenes where you can't play and have to watch the character move as you lose control of them. The only difference being Mario games are slow and peaceful, while you need fast reaction times and inputs for Sonic games so the few second breaks you get inbetween levels to introduce someone or just show you a cool rail grinding segment are just to give your hands the little rest they deserve. Growing up with both franchises, from an unbiased POV, I would like to say both franchises are good and have charm in their both way. They are seperate and can be enjoyed on their own. Let's put the passive-aggressive fighting aside and just agree any fun is good fun with fair criticism, not random points that can go for both sides being sent into one side.
