Fair? You think running around and hitting eachother with red rings for no reason and doing nothing else except talk sometimes is FAIR? I say it isn't. Neither is it FUN. I mean come on!!! It's just running around and hitting bots and finishing levels just to start over again and lose 100 times like you did before in the last game because you used the startlives cheat to give yourself 99 lives and when you get a game over you do the same thing again it's boring!!!
Hey, everyone has their opinions. I propose to you, that walking around in circles doing nothing in particular whilst talking is quite boring, and can get very old very quickly (hangout). Role playing? A waste of time, and little options to do it with other than recolors and freaking hangout levels. Whether or not you want to admit it, SRB2 is actually a shooting/platform game. Yes, it's a shooter. Now that you know what type of game it is, doesn't the shooting make more sense? Moreover, SRB2 is a game completely modeled after the Doom Legacy engine. Doom Legacy is also a shooting game; as is the rest of the Doom series. Wouldn't it be logical to keep the shooting aspect of the game for multiplay, but add Sonic's classic platform feel in a 3D environment? It may not make sense to you, but I find that it makes a rather great balance between the two. Is is rational to hang out in a shooting game (imagine yourself hanging out in... oh, say, the original DOOM or something like that)? Not really. It's just a waste of time. I mean, why use a game as a medium to socialize with your friends when phoning/instant messaging/real life is a much better way to do that?
Just to correct some errors: If you're stuck playing with bots in SRB2JTE, then you have no friends or are too lazy to netgame with these rules. They aren't going to change, and nothing you say or do is going to change that. If you actually need to use STARTLIVES 99 (which isn't a 'cheat'; it's a console variable) and just end up losing 100 times, then this game isn't for you. The easiest way to beat levels is use Tails, and if you lose even then, just stop playing because it's basically pointless. I mean, no one here is going to say it's extremely difficult to beat any level in SRB2 as Tails (easiest), or any other character. To end: you're not even talking about any other modes except Co-op, which is very depressing. I find I may be talking to a person who not only finds the other modes boring only because they cannot be affiliated with hangout or RP, but hasn't even tried to grasp the true fun of what is available. If you really hate the rules and really have that much difficulty playing the game, then I'm sorry... but you have to find another game.
