I loved Sonic Adventure 2, without a hint of irony. (lemmy.world)

Yes, I know. Earth-shattering take. But I was only able to play it at my girlfriend's house at the time, and I was in high school then, and she thought it was corny and stupid, so I had to mask my admiration for the game behind a layer of "heh waow"

I had all but forgotten about it until something jogged my memory of it a few days ago, so I did a bit of a vicarious revisit via YouTube and so on.

That game was awesome and I had a blast with it and I don't care if it's uncool. Suck my ass, Bethany, Sonic Adventure 2 (Battle) is fucking cool, The characters are fun, the story is more nuanced, complex, and engaging (dare I say epic) than it seems, and yes, the chao are adorable and the chao garden is great, and "Live and Learn" is a banger.

I am no longer ashamed! ✊🏻😠

I played a lot of it back in the day and thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm certainly not above admitting that it was kind of corny but I can appreciate corniness for its own sake

But I recently picked it back up and it's just not clicking for me anymore.

I feel like it's kind of a skill issue. Years ago I got pretty good at it, and so my memories of it are colored by that. But it's been well over a decade since I've played it, so I've lost all of those skills, and when your memories are of rolling around at the speed of sound, it feels pretty janky to be back at square 1 missing the timing of everything

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
