Why is Sonic doomed to be inferior to Mario in everything?

Shit character.
But enough about mario
not doing something someone else did doesnt make you inferior
my mother didnt drink while pregnant but that doesn't make her worse than yours
This comparison would only make sense if a Sonic RPG had never been attempted. It was, though. And it was so shit that the sequel was quietly cancelled despite a huge sequel bait ending.
I thought it was cancelled because the sonic comic guy started suing because they stole his OC donut steels.
Chronicles actually released. Penders attempted to sue for it repeatedly but was thrown out on multiple occasions.
The anon you replied to was talking about the sequel. And while nothing was ever confirmed, it's reasonable to think that Penders may have been part of it never happening since Sega washed their hands of the whole shitshow with Archie. Of course there was also the matter of Bioware being sold to EA and the first game likely not being very successful.
Sneednic has always been mid
furhomosexualry ruined it like it does everything.
it's weird, because bioware's best work is when they are working on someone else's license
it's when they go on their own that you get dogshit
this game is an anomaly
The game itself was pretty fun, and the story was interesting enough. What screwed it over what screwed it over was Ken Penders and his lawsuits, which led to us not getting any sequels.
Same people who think Sonic 06 was an underrated gem that people only hate because of Youtubers btw.
I unironically liked this game
Dumb motherfrickers went with Bioware. You ever played a Bioware game? They're terrible. People jerk off Mass Effect and Dragon Age because the games media told them they were big deals. They're shit games. Bioware has never made anything good. Games media didn't hype up the shit ass Sonic RPG so it was actually recognized as being the same quality as every single other Bioware title.
What was even wrong with Sonic Chronicles anyway?
I know there was a shitshow *afterwards* with the Pendering, but what was wrong with the game itself?
some people didn't like that one music track so they hate the game
>God awful gameplay
>God awful music
>Touch screen controls for everything, including basic walking around. Even Nintendo despite being obsessed with touchscreen gimmicks didn't force Alphadream to make the DS M&Ls that gimmicky
>Lackluster graphics
>A bad story that's no better than your average Archie story
Inconsistent visuals with ugly 3D models, unfitting 2D artstyle for the original characters and unprofessional "animated" cutscenes, hilariously atrocious music, repetitive and unbalanced combat, too little substance to the gameplay loop and nothing about it that's faithful to Sonic, story entirely written for the sequelbait ending.
the only good thing is the character writing courtesy of pre-ea bioware, but the game itself is liquid diarrhea, especially the ost.
the gameplay is also pretty bad because it does not understand what makes mario rpg games work. Same as yiik, it's not the minigames, it's the fact they are super quick, crunchy and intuitive.
Literally unfinished. Things fell apart and Bioware released a game full of clashing assets and shitty placeholders. Also, stylus controls are mixed, one chao becomes a huge exploit with cream, and Bioware released with a cliffhanger and a "about the devs" epilogue on something they knew was doa.
Great example of the "people music" meme from rick and morty

Sonic adventure battle 2 is and will always be my favourite game. So long as i can have a shitshack in the woods with my gamecube and sonic... ill be okay.
They should have another go, the concept is sound, but I don't trust anyone within Sega to get it right and I don't know who they could outsource to
They have Atlus, you know.
It's blessed with the best soundtrack though.
doctors AND game makers? no way!
this motherfricking game was literally a mobile game on ds, frick that shit
>they will never touch gizoids again outside of gemerl in the comics because of this game properly
Good thing Unleashed came out right afterwards, because this game was so low effort.
You know a game is bad when Clement hates it.

Alright, Ganker, if you're so smart, how would YOU make a Sonic RPG?
I actually feel sorry for Sonic Team with this game. They went to one of the best studios for RPGs at the time and BioWare just stole 9/10ths of the money SEGA gave them and put it in to the endless moneypit that was Dragon Age: Origins, shat out a mediocre game and landed them in legal trouble with an autistic writer.
Sonic Chronicles had all the music made for it a month before release, then SEGA said they wouldn't allow for the remixes of Sonic 3 in, so they made most of the music a week before launch. It's why shit like this exists
