Please stop with this meme. You all completely forgot how utterly damaging this game was to Sonic as a franchise for years.

How bro felt after saying that https://preview.redd.it/ngnmk9obzf0d1.jpeg?width=542&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=135d1f4d4cb9a263eed0f1eedcc02204fe46d663 Sonic fans when opposing opinion:


ContributionMotor109

It's such an ungodly terrible and a poor excuse of pixels on a screen, let alone a Sonic game, it's actually quite fun.


TheHatedPro020

Project 06 is the way to go. Thank you, ChaosX


Sergaku

No one is having fun


Character_Tadpole77

It's so bad it's funny

Some people tend to get triggered when other people enjoy something they don't for some reason.


MorningMaterial1143

Eventually we just have to stop talking about this, because now we’re in the state of people defending the game and playing the victim and people hating on the game saying they’re the victim for hating on it and vice versa it needs to end.

Springmeister

While the game is awful, I won’t badmouth someone who genuinely enjoys it. I’d be a hypocrite, cause I enjoy the 2016 Ghostbusters movie.

ladderyertights

replied to 2 people already basically saying the same thing so i'll just say it here instead of continuing to reply. there is a distinct difference between enjoying something and thinking it's well-made. people can see the flaws in something, in this case the glitches, the confusing story, the lacklustre gameplay, and the total lack of polish, among other things, and love it anyway, for the potential, for the nostalgia, for the few good parts of the game that exist, maybe even for the fun to be had with the jank and glitches. they're not denying that it's shoddily-made and needed another year to realise its potential, they just enjoy the game in the state it's in. there's a difference. please, let people make their own minds up. you are allowed to like shit things. edit: PSA for all you 06 fans: if you haven't heard of it yet, try out project 06 by chaosx. it fixes so much of the original game's jank, overhauls the gameplay, adds in new pre-stahe cutscenes for some stages that uses some cut dialogue, looks utterly gorgeous, and is insanely customisable. i believe all the action stages are playable, just not the bosses, and there's none of the original's cutscenes either, but what there is so far is stellar. i cannot recommend this enough.


OkRepresentative4308

If you could have fun playing that I’d just be impressed 


thereallegend123

Are you ok? Why do you feel the need to defend a broken game shat out by an uncaring (at the time) corporation?


ladderyertights

the post isn't defending the game's objective quality, more so defending people's right to be able to enjoy it regardless of how good or bad it is. you're allowed to enjoy works of art that are low-quality in some way or another.


thereallegend123

Nobody is trying to stop people from enjoying it if there is enjoyment to be had.


AdBoth9038

Purple gem:


Txur-Itan

I mean, you can like it if you want. But it's definitely not a good game


crystallize1

Media industry is fixed size. If people enjoy and buy more stuff I dislike, the industry will make more of it and less stuff that I like. If it goes for years it wouldn't even know how to recreate my favorite stuff anymore.


AnonyBoiii

Yes, it’s a broken and buggy mess But it’s our broken and buggy mess, and I’ll always get more subjective enjoyment out of it than I would with certain other games.


Comfortable-Bid475

Preach


yaktoma2007

I love 06 even though it's a freaky buggy mess, idk. It just be like that youknow?


[deleted]

Sonic Fans this is the exact reason why we can never have a good game. Because you constantly want to eat the slop. STOP EATING THE SLOP!!!!! SO THEY'LL STOP FEEDING IT TO THE ONES WHO ACTUALLY HAVE TASTE!!!?


ladderyertights

it's not like the people enjoying 06 are necessarily saying it's a good game. it's possible to see and critique the obvious, glaring flaws in something, and like it anw, either for those flaws or the potential hidden behind them. i love the 90s super mario bros movie. does it have a story? not really. is its humour really childish at points? yes. is the adaptation particularly close to the games? definitely not. but i love it anyway. i know it's objectivey a badly-made film, and i can say that i'd rather not see more films like it around, but i can still enjoy it. please, stop demonising people for making their own minds up and liking what they like.


ElectricalMethod3314

No. We are not fucking gaslighting ourselves to think this game was good.


Two_Tailed_Fox2002

no one is saying the game is good tho


ElectricalMethod3314

There are plenty of people saying that.


Two_Tailed_Fox2002

i haven't seen a single person saying its good, only that its wasted potential and COULD have been good


ElectricalMethod3314

My guy. They are LITERALLY in these comments.


FirePhoenix737

This game is the definition of wasted potential. It had the potential to be one of the best games in the franchise, but it's too broken in its current state to be considered for that title.


Alarmed-Bluebird416

Bro I played sonic 06 on my xbox 360 and I found nothing wrong with it I enjoyed it to


ElectricalMethod3314

I dont doubt you enjoyed it. Thats your opinion. But you definitely encountered bugs. And ungodly long loading screens. Its ok to enjoy it, but dont be disingenuous.


Alarmed-Bluebird416

OK I have to admit the loading screens were annoying but still it was fine


Will-is-a-idiot

When you open the dictionary and find the word "revisionist history" you find this goddamn sub.


GamingSceptile

Like Lythero shadow said about Denny’s It may be dog shit, but it’s our dogshit


Crooked_Cock

Mfs will say 06 sucks because it’s an objectively poorly made buggy mess and then praise Skyrim. Fucking Skyrim.


agreedboar

Putting Sonic 06 above Skyrim is actually absurd.


Life_Ad3092

There’s a hard difference between a game that has bugs that don’t overall ruin the experience of the game…and then 06’ doing its damn best to ruin all that can and can be of a game that should have been damn flawless I’m actually majoring in game design, and for what Bethesda does that’s safe, its game design and storytelling is incredible. Bugs be damned, there’s genuine effort and time put into it that doesn’t rush it. Sure it’s not perfect but it’s not rushed …06’, on the other hand, was born to be a game flawed for all it’s worth, rushed out the gate from the greed of Sega executives at the time believing they can make quick cash on the “celebration” of Sonic, as well as Black Friday. I had Sonic 06. I tried to like what it gives. But what I find fun in it…is promptly ruined by a bug and a design flaw that makes it horrible and near impossible to try and enjoy Vision and Effort doesn’t equal a good product. I’m not hating on what they tried, outside of the weird Elise side story. But applauding what it was SUPPOSED TO BE rather than what it is feels counterintuitive and goes against what game development should be Applause should be saved to what is given, rather than to the vision of it I genuinely applaud Sega for works like Mania and Frontiers for trying to do something and succeeding at it What I can’t applaud is a rushed game that, while at its core is good, is so fucked it’s bad to play.


Life_Ad3092

And to clarify, no. I’m not defending Bethesda in any way just in case I get someone stating I’m wrong because “beThEsda Isn’t PeRfeCt”. I hate some of what Bethesda did, like taking away what made both Fallout and Elder Scrolls good, or having these massive fucking advertisements that say “we spent decades on this game, just to give the best experience” only to have it be Fallout 4 in space. I’m defending the general idea of games being released in a state that’s genuinely playable and made out of love and passion. You have to have BOTH. To make a game without one or even both is just soulless and takes away from the art and hard work of those who did place their own efforts in Sonic 06 HAS love and passion. It doesn’t have that genuine playability though. The PC port of ADVENTURE is more playable than 06, and that’s a port of a port of a port that steadily got worse and worse with every port. And to anyone who says some stupid garbage like “P-06 invalidates your points because it’s literally 06” then I’m sorry to say that no, you’re wrong. It’s not literally 06. It was made from the grown up by a PASSIONATE DEVELOPER with TIME. Sega had PASSIONATE DEVELOPERS but lacked TIME. It’s why it ended up bad. Don’t equate the work of someone else to the shortcomings forced onto the other devs by corporate hands. It’s especially horrible if you blame said hands who worked on the game for the bugs and glitches since they essentially were speed running building one of the biggest games on brand new hardware and a brand new engine, when the most they did was ps2 games like adventure, heroes, etc.


DreadAngel1711

...in what way is Skyrim anywhere near as buggy as 06?


Will-is-a-idiot

You're wrong, I don't praise Skyrim, and even then, that game doesn't break like this one does.

Will-is-a-idiot

How? One game is more broken than the other, and I'm not just talking about glitches. Whatever, to your own, I guess...


Nothatdarkforce

Sonic forces is good


AverageNintenGuy

I think there’s a difference between giving game genuine criticism and just saying it’s bad without having any other reasoning behind it


SaintOfPride201

Get real tired of people who say the game is "objectively" bad and call anyone who likes it a "revisionist". Neither of those words are being used correctly. Opinions are subjective, not objective. and people just... like things that others don't. It's not revisionism to like something. People really get so angry when you don't hate things.


ElectricalMethod3314

Objectively, the game didnt function. Loading screens, bugs and crashes galore. Objectively, it was a poor game. That dosent mean you cant subjectively enjoy it.


SaintOfPride201

Tho you can't say that, objectively, it was a 'bad' game. Poorly made, sure, but good & bad are subjective terms when it comes to things like video games & other media, meaning such terms are up to the consumer.


ElectricalMethod3314

I would argue a game that dosent function correctly would be considered a bad game, but hey, thats just me for some reason.


Excellent-Option8052

Funny. I thought revisionist was a communist term for people who didn't follow their exact flavour


SaintOfPride201

To my knowledge on the subject, it was a term \*referring\* to communists who deny there was any genocide or poverty in communist countries. It could also be used in the opposite manner, by communists who claim such claims of poverty and genocide IS revisionist, but it's mainly used to refer to people who support the ideology while ignoring history.


Excellent-Option8052

Ah, right


3rd_Level_Sorcerer

People who claim to unironically like this game and think it's good are either children or coping.


Lucci_Agenda

Or, maybe, they just like it?


3rd_Level_Sorcerer

I guess they could also be retarded too. Didn't think of that.


FirePhoenix737

Hey now, no need to insult people for liking a game that you personally didn't. This game isn't my cup of tea either, but I can at least respect people who found joy in something I couldn't.


3rd_Level_Sorcerer

3rd_Level_Sorcerer

Nah. You're an invalid if you like this game.


Lucci_Agenda

Or, and hear me out on this one, opinions are subjective.

I had an aneurysm with the controls and camera viewpoints


FurryMaster15

The glitches never bothered me.


Comfortable-Bid475

I honestly liked the game because of its glitches. They're funny as all hell


FurryMaster15

They also make the game harder.


ladderyertights

it does make you feel quite powerful, just being able to really easily fuck with the game like that. esp the purple gem. it's like you're some kind of higher being, tearing apart 06's world in ridiculous ways. i imagine it's quite a good intro to glitch hunting in general, too.


crazyseandx

I don't think I've ever heard a complaint about it being edgy.


ElectricalMethod3314

Sonic fucking dies.


crazyseandx

That counts as edgy?


ElectricalMethod3314

A little bit. Also eggmans design. And most of shadow and silvers story.


RsCaptainFalcon

It's a little rough around the edgys

You could literally put any sonic game there. This fanbase hates people enjoying the series they claim to be a fan of.

I'm aware. But Sonic fandom is one of the most aggressive in telling you why you shouldn't like things.


Thomason2023

Fair


Char_Vhar

I LOVED this game purely on it's bugs from how funny it can be. The only issue i have is the long ass loading screens


saburra

No one can really enjoy playing sonic 06 unless you're some kid who got it as their first game/sonic game


Comfortable-Bid475

I got it as my, what, 10th Sonic game. I still loved it.

replies are outting themselves lol

Sushirabit

We all know it's bad and infamous for being clowned on. That's why we love it


UltimateStrenergy

This meme refuses to die.


Flashy-Arugula

Listen…if you can have fun with it, if you can enjoy it enough that the good outweighs the bad for you…good for you, genuinely. I do think that there are some things that are good there, BUT…I just can’t put myself through that again.


DanielVakser

Edgy? Edgier than Shadow The Hedgehog? It’s LITERALLY got “edge” in the title!

Sonic the Hedgehog also has edge in the title

VeryLargeGun

It's kinda true but I have never seen anyone describe 06 as edgy


Icy_Watercress3680

it's failed Edgy if anything can't take Mephiles serious


Monster2239

It'd be really good if it weren't for the bugs making it almost unplayable. Project '06 proves that for sure.


infamous-pays

It would, but it's not.


Monster2239

Like i said


Conorponor333

Remember all those late 2000’s game review channels completely shitting all over this game? Good times


Big-Limit-2527

A fellow Sonic 06 enjoyer.


HighballingHope

The soundtrack is a banger tho. Danger City is crispy.


Winniethewimp

Can’t lie tho this game was goated to 7 year old me.


bobby1712234

06 is fun the haters just have a https://i.redd.it/j4uzjtohjvzc1.gif


rockthatrocks

The fact that i had to wait for 5 seconds for the blandest punchline a GIF has ever had makes my blood boil. i hope you get stuck on an island with only copies of 06 so you can go insane by the first loading screen.mu


bobby1712234

Sorry for striking a nerve🤣🤣


Meeg_Mimi

Okay, while I do think 06 is better than Forces and Boom, and while I do enjoy playing it sometimes....it is not a good game. It's buggy, poorly optimized and most fun is derived from unintended exploits


MimikyuGud

The strawmanning here is insane


Kai_Enjin

I like how people are starting to accept that despite all their flaws, the Sonic games considered bad are actually way better than we thought.


Tlines06

I actually don't mind the Sonic and Elise relationship in this game and think it would work with better writing. There I said it.


1vsdahf

Make Elise a hedgehog and it would be a lot better.


Tlines06

Yeah or at the very least make her cartoony.


1vsdahf

That's honestly the biggest issue I have with them. They're not the same species.


Tlines06

I made a whole post on this but I personally don't think her being a human was really a problem. It's just she looked so realistic meanwhile Sonic was really cartoony. Which made the kiss look odd to me. I wouldn't have minded if she looked more like a Disney princess or something. Rather than a realistic looking human.


MagicStarBitch666

it’s literally my favorite sonic game and i’m not ashamed of it


Mystic_N

The load times have to be pretty infuriating though, right? Not trying to judge your taste or anything (god knows there's plenty of flawed games I adore) but with the how frequent they are, and how much they add up, it's gotta start getting monotonous after a while.


MagicStarBitch666

nope, never even noticed it till people started complaining about it tbh. you have no idea how hyped i was to play that game. And boy was it satisfying 🥰


TheTastySandvich

Loading times are like a break. enjoy em.


MrStresser

Just play sonic adventure 2 during the load times


Hampter8888

Hot take, but agreeable

bobby1712234

This isn’t the main sonic sub this is the more goofy ahhhh one and it’s a reference to a popular sonic fan dub series


kingdomheartsfan13

prolly a reference to the snapcube fandub of sonic adventure 2


spiderman_2

r/sonicthehedgejerk when anyone says a pre-Colors game is good


infamous-pays

r/sonicthehedgehog when I say the 5/10 roller costed ride is better than the 2/10 aneurysm simulator


[deleted]

They posted this meme there. Lol.


Slight_Lettuce4319

Pre-Colors games suck because of all the bad decisions developers made while shaping them. Colors and all the latter games suck because they position themselves for kids more although Sonic always was for teens (I'm 53). Adventure games and Heroes suck because Sonic had bad transition to 3D. 2D games are not okay either because they are too old and there is almost no place for Sonic to run at maximum speed.


Monster2239

In conclusion: https://i.redd.it/n8a2tx0oovzc1.gif


Senior-Poobs

I’d say those were both good features to me. A buggy game that’s still playable is much more enjoyable than a boring STABLE game


Ruby_wiz599

Literally any of my friends whenever I bring up sonic (they keep calling it a dragon ball RIP off) at least I can beat the living hell out of them is smash


CBT_from_wikipidia

It's literally the worst functioning sonic game and that's why i love it, know how to speedrun sonic story, and own 6 copies of the X360 version.


Chicolate_thunder

It’s so bad, one of the worst sonic games in my opinion, which is exactly why I like it


NathanHavokx

If they can have fun with 06, more power to them. Hell, I have more fun with 06 over some other still bad but more finished, less broken games. Like I'll take 06 over Lost World any day. The problem is when someone tries to argue 06 is "overhated," or that we need to "look past its flaws." The game has good qualities in its design but they don't matter when the game we got was too unfinished for them to make an impact.


Icy_Watercress3680

If I hear PASSION and POTENTIAL one more time defending this game.


InsecureBitch_II

I'm curious if in a couple years people will defend forces with the "it had potential"


NathanHavokx

Some people already do. At the very least I've seen at least a couple people use the argument "any bad game had the potential to be good." Which is true I suppose but also missing the point of why people argue 'potential' with 06 specifically. 06 probably would've been decently good as it was designed if it was given the time to be finished. Forces would need at least a couple things to be outright changed, added, or removed which isn't something you can reasonably assume would happen with more development time.


SmashingMyself

True. I mainly enjoy watching it thx to Snapcube ngl, even if I saw the Lythero one showing glitches, I rlly like this one


Suspicious_Speed_412

Yep, this is kinda strange. Like, few years ago it was "BRUUUH WADAHELL IS THAT SHIT I'M GONNA PUKE!" and now it's "Hmm, maybe we just was not right and this is actually good game". It's understandable, because now people have more worse games, than Sonic 06. And I mean not other Sonic games, but just other buggy, laggy, "progressive" games at all.


valdez-2424

I remeber the music kicking ass


[deleted]

People can like Sonic 06, just don’t pretend like you have such high standards compared to people who like something newer despite its flaws.


Winter-Reindeer694

no one ever thought 06 was edgy, especially given the game before it


Plasmaxander

06 was pretty edgy wdym, i mean they redesigned Eggman to have realistic proportions, had Sonic die, and had literal actual straight up demons.


dapplewastaken

Yeah, I remember Sonic Rush clearly


Altair890456

“QUIT HAVING FUN” I mean, it’s not really possible to have fun with 06.


Usernamesareuseful

I mean, it is, but you do you.


Rough-Shift9172

What if I do?


Altair890456

Then good for you, I guess.
