Why does everyone hate Sonic Heroes?

Sonic never fell through the atmosphere, in sonic 2 he was caught by tails.

 

[ST218]

Yes, Tails on an airplane. You know, those things that fly through the air? You know, the atmosphere?

Sonic suffered reentry just like any space ship would, in both Sonic 2, and Sonic and Knuckles-heck, depending on how high you consider the Death Egg to have taken off, he's done it three times-twice in one game if you consider Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles as one.

EDIT: Oh, and as for Shadow, he was not in is Super Form, if I recall. And anyway, the reasoning behind him dying is that he expended all his energy using that big-ass Chaos Control (he makes rather depressing remarks concerning his vitality in the FinalHazard Battle, IIRC). And, anyway, we can be assured that SA2 has a more realistic tone than the Classic Series-after all, look at the Sonic CD ending movie. Sonic takes on lots of most likely heavily armed robots without breaking a sweat, but in SA2 a few measly soldiers can corner him. Not to mention the whole "Gun to Amy's Head" thing, where in the past it was "Lock the guy up in a capsule or robot or jail!". In that frame of mind, you can't survive the burning heat of reentry-even in super form, hence the unseen time limit in the final battle.

blahblahblah sonic sucks etc

I already own, as of last week, virtually every game you listed I should try as opposed to playing Sonic as much as I have been; none of them compare to this (with the possible exception of GoW, but that's... y'know? That's GoW. It's a given, really) so I think I'm quite happy with my purchase. $60? More than worth it.

(Tails does suck, though. I'll give you that much.)

However, Sonic did it AGAIN in the Sonic Advance games. Hell, Sonic did it while holding onto Vanilla in Sonic Advance 2, and before that he was holding the capsule Vanilla was trapped in. As well, in Sonic Rush, you play as Sonic and Blaze (depending on story) fighting Eggman/Eggman NEGA (again, depending on story) on a ship that's falling THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE and has NO cover what-so-ever. At the start of the battle you fucking see the MOON, so it's obvious that you're in outer space.

And the classic games are the same series as the newer ones. Hell, they take place on the same planet!

SH, I've only played the PC demo, but I havn't gotten any bad camera angles or glitches (or cheap deaths), and this is the PC DEMO. If SH really IS as bad as everyone's saying, then that means that SEGA and Sonic Team really do fail.

Now, about Shadow the Hedgehog: I have the PS2 version, and I havn't gotten ANY glitches, bad camera angles OR cheap deaths. As well, the weapons and vehicles in it fit Shadows bad-ass attitude.

Yeah i havent got really any glitchs. I just think some people who say its glitches or team switching is hard, is just not good at either of these games because I get all A ranks on all of them.

If you were referring to my bigass quote, that was directed at StH2K6. Also, Heroes' flaws only truly show themselves when you approach the later levels; the first one's actually pretty tame, and that's all the demo has.

First off, I've heard horror stories of people getting glitches all over the place in the very last stage (the one with the music sounding like Mega Man V's title screen theme, you know the one), including falling through the floor and so on. Skill plays no factor in chance.

Second off, the character changing works, sure, but it's rather clunky, and you frequently have to concentrate on that, so you get the right character, as opposed to concentrating on more important things. It doesn't flow very well, is all.

blahblahblah sonic rocks etc

Sonic 2K6, better than Oblivion?

That's hilarious, Omega, it really is. Thanks for that, but I'm afraid it was so funny, I forgot to laugh. My apologies.

Actually, I was referring to everybody that's bashing Sonic Heroes. I can understand bashing it for the voices, storyline and cheesy lines, but that's it.

 

[BlueZero4]

And what about replay value? That's why I bash it on the head.

 

[TimberWolf]

Replay value, nobody really cares about it. I mean, unlockables are a given in games, who cares how it is you unlock them?

 

[Shuffle]

Linear levels add tons of replay value. </sarcasm>

On the 360 it is. The PC version is another story. Y'know, what with the mods.

 

[Maou-Shin Daioka]

I'm suprised that Sega is even releasing a PC version.
My predictions are it's gonna be buggy. o.O

 

[Omega the Hedgehog]

I was referring to the PC version of Oblivion being vastly superior to the 360 one, actually. The post had nothing to do with Sonic.

 

[Maou-Shin Daioka]

Oops, my bad
But still, a PC version of SONIC The Hedgehog would probally be buggy, right?

 

[Omega the Hedgehog]

Not if it's a port of the PS3 US version, which is supposedly far less glitchy.

 

[Maou-Shin Daioka]

I wouldn't hold it against Sonic Team for them to not port the 360 version.
Let's just hope it's the PS3 version that gets ported (for all of you that plan on buying it.)

 

[Shuffle]

I plan on illegally downloading it and then buying it if and only if it is fun. I'd rather not encourage Sonic Team to make shitty games.

Well one thing u are right about, the major glitches on the last level. Thats the only places I get the glitches at.

If Sonic Team actually took the time to correctly develop their games, maybe they wouldn't suck right now.
