Sonic Megathread

In general! I like mario kart but I just like the heavier physics and the boost mechanics and less impactful items of ctr more; plus I just liked crash more than mario in general :p

I see.

But I think Mario Kart has always aimed at being a party racing game. CRT's boost system seems nice though.

I'm curious to hear it!

It makes it just that little more technical!
For similar reasons I prefer the gameplay of double dash over wii and 8's (though those two have the better track selection)

I loved DS mostly out of nostalgia (but those destroyed d-pads thanks to the snaking technique).

Wii had some technicality but mostly from that infamous Funky Kong + that one Bowser Bike. It feels a bit like how Meta Knight had his own gameplay from the rest of Brawl.

Sadly even for casual play I kinda find MK Double Dash and Wii a bit too chaotical because of the amount of items (twice for DD + the special items that are overpowered like the giant shell) and how Wii had many items that affects everyone like the POW Block and the Mega Mushroom being an even more busted Starman. I still loved the bikes in that entry.

MK8 Deluxe almost felt too easy on the other hand.


But for the technicality I'd say that MK isn't the right franchise. I'd even tell people that if they want a really hard and technical racing game they should try F-zero instead.

i'm guessing the boosting part of it i guess... i tried to play online and i needed to learn how to boost. so i could not get use to it.... i really don't recall other then that.

I remembered when ClementJ64 played the entire Series at that point. That was how (Besides my cousin having a copy of Sonic Rush, I played Mega Collection Plus at a hotel one time, and watching the Western Cartoons and 4kids Sonic X) I was introduced to the series.

Playing Sonic 3 A.I.R and Sonic Robo Blast 2 on mobile thanks to a gamepad with a built-in stand feels nice.

I forgot to edit it but I could legitimately forfeit the rest of the franchise in favour of those two.

PS: is there any native port for SA1 outside of emulation?

I think the recommended way to play is steam with a million mods to undo the changes away from the dreamcast these days

Is there a good way to be able to play Steam SADX without requiring Steam to be activated?

Mostly certain it uses steam as drm but I can test tomorrow for you. Will report back!

 

[JellyjamLu]

if it helps i could post my mod order list or offer recommendation mods for Steam SADX, either way that's how I play too. (need to check out Sonic 3 AIR)

I really dislike DRM for games that are over a decade and a half old.

DRM for the latest AAA is understandable not for a Dreamcast game being ported five times.
