What was worse for Sonic, the 2000s or the 2010s?
The 2010s, how is that even a debate
2010s, the 2000s were great except for 06
2010s
Not even because the quality of the games but the fact we only got 5 mainline games and a small handful of spinoffs
>Heroes
>Advance 3
>Shadow
>Secret Rings
>Black Knight
>Great
Test
The only good games in the 2010s was Generations and Mania, and they were purely nostalgiabait titles. At least in the 2000s, you had some cool spin-offs like Battle and Riders, and the Advance trilogy were pretty good. And as mediocre and jank Heroes and SA1 and 2 were, they are eons better than the tepid shit of Forces, Lost World and Colors.
Here he is, i found the son of a bitch!
2000's had worse overall games but it had the Advance and Rush games which were decent for the most part so I can see a "glass half full argument being made".
Except no, because in the 2000's we got Sonic 06', Shadow the Hedgehog and Dark Brotherhood. So fuck you even as shit Sonic still is now it still doesn't match the utter horror show that was the 2000's. As shit Forces and Lost World were they still weren't half as shit as the three games I've mentioned.
Cope and seethe. Shadow Hedgehog is the best sonic game.
2000s.
It's basically a quality over quantity deal. I mean look at this trash
06
Chronicles
Heroes
Secret rings
Shadow
Advance 2
Black Knight
GBA anniversary
Rivals
The 2000s had:
>Sonic Adventure 2
>Sonic Advance 1-3
>Sonic Heroes
>Sonic Battle
>Shadow The Hedgehog
>Sonic Rush
>Sonic Riders
>Sonic 06
>Sonic Rush Adventure
>Sonic Rivals 1 and 2
>Sonic and the Secret Rings
>Sonic Unleashed
>Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
>Sonic and The Black Knight
Compared to the 2010s, which had:
>Sonic 4: Episodes 1 and 2
>Sonic Colors
>Sonic Free Riders
>Sonic Generations
>Sonic Lost World
>Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
>Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal
>Sonic Boom: Ice and Fire
>Sonic Mania
>Sonic Forces
So you tell me which one was worse.
Combined with these I'm addition to sonic X and The Pendering in 2009?
I'd say the choice is clear.
Sonic X is okay if you avoid the 4kids version.
This but unironically
Not really. 4kids didn’t even change that much aside from butchering the music and cutting out a dirty joke with Rouge and Topaz. All of Sonic X’s plot problems are still there in Japanese.
All this thread has shown is that Sonic truly hasn't been good for over 2 decades.
At this point it's less "which was worse" and more "which flavor of shit you'd like diarrhea or extra chunky"?
I think dividing Sonic eras by english voice cast seems to line up more with the type of games they put out.
Where you've got the "Adventure Era" with games between Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes (& some other 2D games games that came out on the GBA)
Then you go into the "Dark Age" where they stared using the Sonic X voice cast between Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic & The Black Knight
And now from Sonic Colors onward we're in the "Modern" era
No.
I love how the best fully original Sonic game is aggressively mediocre (and like 45 minutes long)
2000s since it led to the 2010s
Really it comes down to Adventure DX and 2 vs Generations and Mania... the rest is either shit or varying levels of okay.
2000s had jankier games, but 2010s did irreparable damage to the brand as a whole.
The 2000s had Sonic 06 so there's that.
fpwp
>4kids didn’t even change that much
this is from a single episode
and I said it was "okay" not "good"
Yes
Sonic boom on Wii u was seemingly as glitchy and bad as 06 but sonic was already irrelevant by that time so it wasn't a big deal
Really?
It really did more damage than 06' now?
Are we just going to pretend that whole "Sonic was never good" phase the whole industry and vidya community had for a while in the mid and late 2000's?
I mean if you remove the good games you get
>The 2000s had:
>>Sonic Advance 2
>>Sonic Heroes
>>Shadow The Hedgehog
>>Sonic Riders
>>Sonic 06
>>Sonic Rivals 1 and 2
>>Sonic and the Secret Rings
>>Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity
>>Sonic and The Black Knight
>Compared to the 2010s, which had:

Sonic has never had a bad game, but frontiers is where I draw the line
Frankly calling Adventure 2 good is pushing it.
>not liking heroes or ESPECIALLY Riders
absolute dogshit taste
>2000s: shit games as a direct result of Sonic Team
>2010s: shit games from outsourced nobodies
2000s is the bigger offense
>and I said it was "okay" not "good"
It can't even be considered okay.
By 4kids standards that’s absolutely nothing. Their edits usually drastically change the story. I’m floored that they kept in Maria, Gerald, and Cosmo dying. If it were any other show that they were dubbing they would have put in some bullshit like “Shadow watches Maria get arrested by the military”.
BOOM is far worse than 06. Just because it was on a Wii U which nobody had or 06 came first doesnt cover up its failure
