MegaMan52 | 2,722 Posted February 2, 2024 Share Posted February 2, 2024 Guess I might as well play Sonic 3, but what platform should I choose? Probably Genesis. But maybe Genesis, GameCube, and Switch. 2 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14311-sonic-3s-30th-anniversary/#findComment-395165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,999 Posted February 2, 2024 Share Posted February 2, 2024 (edited) If I have time, I will try to pop it in and play it tonight (most likely the Genesis version on the Mega Sg). I always preferred Sonic 2 over 3, but 3 is still a great game. The other question to ask is, do you play it by itself, or locked on to S&K?

final fight cd | 257 Posted February 2, 2024 Share Posted February 2, 2024 as a sega fan, sonic blows chunks. we should celebrate by playing one of the many better platformers seen on the genesis. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14311-sonic-3s-30th-anniversary/#findComment-395207 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's valid to play through just the Sonic 3 portion if you're in the mood for a quick gaming fix. Snap on the &K for the full course treatment. And, for the REAL degenerates among us, fire up Sonic and Knuckles solo, like the animal you are! 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/14311-sonic-3s-30th-anniversary/#findComment-395340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

koifish | 628 Posted February 6, 2024 Share Posted February 6, 2024 I replayed S3 to completion in 2022. In hindsight, Sonic 3 was ridiculously easy compared to 1, 2, and CD. It was also full of "blast processing"-esque flash over substance moments. It's weird how much Sonic 3 shares in common with the far less favored sequels in the 2000s and onward. If I could name one key difference, it's that Sonic 3 feels more like a 2D action game you have control over, which also happens to have many gratuitous cool moments, whereas some later games might as well be roller coasters. Also, I hate the ending of Launch Base. Riding in eggman's dumb turd floater takes almost a full minute of in-game clock time, which I learned can and will kill you for time over. Just feels like a bad idea, though as we know Sonic 3 had a few bad ideas...

TDIRunner | 2,999 Posted February 6, 2024 Share Posted February 6, 2024 I hate to say it, but playing Sonic 3 the other night just reminded me how much more I prefer Sonic 2 over 3.
