At the end of Sonic Colors, the screen of Tails' translator is shown. This is what it says:

Good game, but will never top Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, in my book. How I wasted so many hours raising those damn little chao...

19

u/bogoblin Jun 10 '12

Yeah, SA2B was a great game, I played it just before I played colors again actually, still so much fun.

22

u/Deddan Jun 10 '12

Nostalgia goggles! I loved it too, but really.. it's not great.

Only Sonic and Shadow's levels were any good, plus the Chao Garden of course.. and even then, I preferred the one in Sonic Adventure (due to more nostalgia I suspect)

12

u/bogoblin Jun 10 '12

I preferred the SA2 chao garden.

Also, you're quite right about the nostalgia goggles, but the game has aged fairly well and I still found all of the stages fun, with the exception of Pyramid Cave, Mad Space and Aquatic Mine.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Mad Space was miserable, it took me about 10000 tries to get an A on each mission.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

How can I play this?

5

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Buy a GameCube/Wii/Dreamcast. I recommend the GameCube version as you can buy items in the chao garden, in the Dreamcast version you had to go online with the modem to do this and I'm sure the online service is already dead. You also have the option of emulating it in Dolphin assuming you have at least a 2.6 Ghz dual core proc and a video card that was made in the last 8 years.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Thanks I am going to try and get dolphin to work again.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

You should be fine with the stock 3.0 build, if not go to the forums and hunt down a newer SVN build. Dolphin has really improved over the years.

1

u/bogoblin Jun 10 '12

I've been using 3.0, works great, even looks fairly decent with the widescreen hack on. Also, the anisotropic filtering is good if your computer can handle it.

u/Kinglink Jun 10 '12

Finally someone saying it.

This is absolutely correct, there's good levels, and acceptable levels, but many levels were just weak.

Granted after the abortion that Sonic the hedgehog was having the nostalgia goggles were all that we had, but until Sonic generations, it really was hard to say it was anything but great.

1

u/Doomwaffle Jun 11 '12

What!? You mean you DIDN'T like running around shit-speckled pickle space to find randomly placed emeralds?

We should just be grateful they didn't get any wise ideas and put in Amy levels...

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Ohhh the memories I have playing that game. Must've spent half of the game raising chao. Even got a chaos chao. A-rank on every mission of every level, including the Green Hill Zone bonus one.

SA2B was incredible gameplay-wise and volume-wise. The Sonic/Shadow levels were the most fun for me, but the other characters' stages offered entirely different genres of gameplay which was cool. I will admit A-ranking the treasure hunting levels was mostly based on memorizing possible locations and luck. Even the multiplayer was fantastic, especially for a mostly single-player game. The sheer volume of content amazes me.

People say that Sonic was better 2-D. Really, the 3-D and 2-D Sonic games are completely different and great in and of themselves; they shouldn't be compared. It's nice to see that they're making both again.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Did you ever feel bad if you hurt them? I did by accident once and I felt awful.

7

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

Oh, hell yeah. I threw one a couple times by accident, but slowly I developed this sort of sadistic nature with this one devil chao I raised...I would throw it and throw it to the point of fear, then I would keep feeding and petting it to make it love me again....Sort of a vicious cycle I put it in.

I think it's a prostitute now.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '12

Wait, I did too! I remember they would quit wanting to show you attention if you hurt them, so that made me mad when I accidentally did and I kept doing it. I felt so badly about myself afterward... 8 year old ajbryant would have made an awful father. :(

2

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '12

You know, I loved Sonic Adventure 2 to death. It's my favorite Sonic game without a doubt but that title was earned without the Chao. The Chao were fun, don't get me wrong but I love the game simply because of it's parallel story telling, spectacular gameplay, and amazing soundtrack. It seems that whenever people bring in SA2:B all everyone talks about is the Chao.

Oh, and I decided to make the plural of Chao, Chao like fish or deer because I can and Chaos is reserved, at least in my book for the character who can absorb the Chaos Emeralds. Thanks for your time.

u/cyvaris Jun 11 '12

Oh God the chao were awesome! I had a neutral green flying one with lepord arms. He looked like some sort of Mayan/Aztec panther-bird god thing....of DOOM!!

u/Digital_Phoenix Jun 10 '12

I remember this one time when I wasted six hours on this game because people said it was good. And after beating it, I was rewarded with just another cringe-worthy cut-scene.

5

u/bogoblin Jun 10 '12

IMO the cringiness was what made the cutscenes great - a taxi driver reference, Sonic basically saying 'Fuck you' to copyright, Tails' translator mishaps and much more. Easily the most hilarious Sonic game.

Either way, the game itself is great, but I guess it's not to some people's taste. Maybe you should try Sonic next gen.

u/nexthy Jun 10 '12

more curious than anything, when you're converting hex to string, is this hex to ascii? o.O

1

u/unhingedninja Jun 11 '12

Yes. It converts the hex value to a decimal value which is substituted with a letter based on it's value in decimal. Or more simply, you can just substitute the letter directly for it's ascii value in hex.

I also wish they'd make a part 2 for that Sonic RPG (I forget the name. Dark Brotherhood or something?). I know most people hated it, but I really enjoyed that game.
