Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 65403, member: 6930"] When it comes to fangames sadly most suffers from the "it will never be finished" syndrome, even Robo Blast 2 (a great one with semi infinite modding capabilities) is still technically unfinished so I understand why some people prefers to play the official MD games + Mania. I do wish Plus added more than two characters and a new game mode that is basically an Arrange Mode (we got the first half of Angel Island Act 1 and that's it). Shame that Sega and the Sonic Team, by hubris and jealousy, didn't let Whitehead to make a sequel to Mania (even 50/50 old/new levels would've been sufficient for me, especially if they ended up adding Starlight Zone and probably Ice Cap despite the music copyright issue if they let Tee Lopes making a new composition for it). Chemical Plant is still great in Generations and Mania's respective second act (yes, I think that CPZ in boost form easily equals most of Unleashed's Day levels in term of level design) but I do agree that Green Hills got overused. Bosses are hit or miss in Sonic regardless of 2D and 3D. Egg Beetle is a great boost boss, Egg Golem a great Adventure Style one and perhaps the pillar boss from Sonic 2 was interesting. They're more akin to puzzle games than proper bosses in 2D. I feel that while nostalgia is a huge factor for Sega I think it's a moot point when it's also the case for many other games (like Mario Odyssey using 2D NES style sections). Also the presence of bad games does not mean it will be automatically good either, if the game is good it's good regardless if the next one is worse. I think that while people miss the early to mid 00's edginess we also got overfed but I don't understand why mainstream entertainment made a 180°. I don't mind seeing a semi-return of edgy stuff (like Strangers in Paradise) but a good equilibrium of dark and light moments is better. [/QUOTE]
