Why are people pretending this game is good nowadays?

Its not so bad its good. Its just straight up shitty and only humorous to someone watching the game rather than playing it. The game itself is almost literally unplayable and is incredibly frustrating.

This

even though I thought Color and L**t W****d were actually kind of fun, nobody will be talking about them in 10 years, 06 is a landmark in gaming history

The soundtrack was pretty okay.

Because the Sonic fanbase is retarded and recent games got them into a "LIGHTHEARTED BAD, GRIMDARK GOOD" phase

some people actually grew playing this game, or it got bashed so much it's getting the opposite view now out of contrarianism.
But besides that, some frustration coming out of Modern Sonic. New games lack the sheer ambition 06 carried as much as it failed horribly in the final product. It's the case of "remember when Sega put effort in Sonic? Yeah it didn't work but at least they were trying unlike nowadays"

06's game design is conceptually sound.
It encompasses the Adventure staples; speed, rhythm, and exploration.

What good is trying if you end up failing anyway? I'm sure a lot of surgeons who had their patients dying on them tried their hardest, but that doesn't mean much in the end. Might as well just praise something like SA2, which had a lot of effort put into it and actually succeeded.

The soundtrack is better than 99% of games

Just fuck off adventurefag. You insecure cucks literally get defensive whenever appreciation for a sonic game is uttered that isn’t adventure

Someone post the image explaining the Sonic fan cycle which goes over how every game is specifically made to target kids and these kids eventually grow up to dislike the franchise because 'It's not the "true" Sonic" which essentially created the era wars we see today.

I really fucking hate that Jab video that gets shilled to no end. I like Adventure and he makes some good point but the entire thesis is basically 45 minutes of him going "It's not the Sonic I grew up with so it's wrong".

Not really, I like the Genesis games, Unleashed, Generations and Mania as well. I just don't see what's the point in praising something that went wrong just because they "tried" with it.

this, sonic 06 has good music and from what I heard a not so bad plot, but the gameplay sucks so much ass, fans have to fix it to make it playable

>Be me in 1999
>Sonic Adventure comes out
>Everyone hates it
>Be me in 2001
>Sonic Adventure 2 comes out
>Everyone hates it and now likes Sonic Adventure 1
>Be me in 2003
>Sonic Heroes comes out
>Everyone hates it and now likes Sonic Adventure 2
>Be me in 2006
>Sonic 06 comes out
>Everyone hates it and now likes Sonic Heroes
>Be me in 2020
>Everyone now likes Sonic 06

>from what I heard a not so bad plot
The Shadow plot was good, everything else was either a nonsensical mess with weird retcons or just plain dumb.

I don't remember people hating SA, SA2 and Heroes when they came out

3 felt unfinished, that's why most people combine 3 and knuckles, but that wasn't available on the tier list maker

I feel obligated to play cd now because you posted chunky

Except even in the Demo it just played like an even clunkier and shittier version of the speed adventure stages

>I don't remember people hating SA, SA2 and Heroes when they came out
Either you were a really, really young child who didn't lurk the internet yet or you're a liar pretending you grew up in that era.

From the very beginning SA and future 3D titles fractured fans.

Time heals all wounds. Its been so long that people dont take this game personally anymore. Also Lost World and Forces might be more technically competent games, but because they are so boring and because they miss the point of sonic so much, they make this game look better in hindsight. At least Sonic 06 was interesting.

In fact, Sonic 06 was SO interesting that it left a big impression on everyone who played it. It will be a long time before people finally stop discussing it.

A part of me can't wait to see the reactions when 10 years from now people will start claiming Forces and Lost World are "misunderstood games" just to see the reactions of older fans.

We've come full circle where Adventure and Dark Era who used to claim Classicfags are old weirdo's shaking their canes at the young people have now become the very thing they criticized.

Because the game could of been great if the development team didn't disband mid production

Probably a mix of hipsters and kids who grew up with it. You see a lot of that over time. For instance the law system in FFTA has plenty of defenders now.

Because it's better than most of the games that followed it
