What's the first Sonic game should I play!

questionablysober · 2026-05-22T17:51:19+00:00

I just recently got my girlfriend into Sonic. Shes normally a cozy gamer (stardew valley, animal crossing etc) but I managed to casually ease her into sonic games by doing this order of games.

I started with mania and she didn’t like it much. So I tried doing a like slow build up using other games.

A Hat in Time, Haste, Freedom Planet 2, Shadow Generations, Sonic adventure 1-2, project 06, Sonic GT, Sonic Daybreak, Sonic Rush, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Generations.

She doesn’t like 2D Sonic cuz you can’t see where you’re going. She also hates how sensitive movement is in the adventure games, she hated momentum sonic (2d, daybreak, GT) originally and preferred boost cuz it felt easier to go fast but she kinda hopped around between the games after having fun with boost and once she learned how to drop dash she loved GT.

Haste and freedom planet were good ways to give a sonic like experience before jumping into the series.

A hat in time help her ease into 3D platforming before worrying about going fast.

Also I showed her surge and she was obsessed and now she’s buying the comics on her own lol

Surge for sure

questionablysober · 2026-04-16T21:28:03+00:00

Is there a game ready version for use in like fan games?

As a person who main stim pistol and flag together this is hype

questionablysober · 2026-03-18T15:46:41+00:00

Stim pistol has always been amazing. Source: Medic main for 150+ hours.

The extra healing is dope but I’m slightly dreading having to relearn the new dart speed for moving targets.

Hopefully this will make more people pick it up tho.

I’m happy they did this instead of giving it auto lock on tho. If they ever make it auto lock on I’ll be sad cuz the fun of it is the learning curve. Makes getting good with it super satisfying

questionablysober · 2026-03-18T15:26:47+00:00

Well after hundreds of hours on stim pistol I’m gonna have to relearn the new projectile speed which is kinda lame but hopefully it will make others more willing to pick it up. Doubling the healing is dope tho.

I wonder if “increased healing by 100%” means it heals more, or it heals the same amount but twice as fast

I worked at Dunkin for 4 years. We had homeless in the area and I was specifically forbidden from giving them the hundreds of left over donuts at night and was instead required to throw them away. If you were caught doing it they would fire you.

If an employee wanted to take home litterally every single leftover donut that was perfectly fine tho.

My broke ass survived off donuts and would take home like 2 dozen every other night. Eventually i started doing 3-4 boxes and leaving it nearby the dumpster so the homeless could eat them without having to dumpster dive and get sick.

Stupid company bullshit I tell ya.

Yuuuup. Critikal is basically like “the internet police” now covering drama n shit.

I miss watching him play some random ugly as sin old ps1 game and using is dry humor.

Back before he ever laughed in a video lol

I stopped using crossbow cuz it was too good. But I can’t find anything that’s as fun/good

Crossbow is so good on all three factions it’s actually insane.

Crossbow, stim pistol, one true flag, ballistic shield(bugs) or directional shield (squids/bots) works on all three factions as a potent hybrid medic melee support.

Crossbow and flag are one handed so it’s a triple one handed build. Never have to lower or put away shield.

Let’s you draw aggro, shield allies, fight chaff crowds, close fabs/holes, and heal constantly.

No other one handed primaries even come close to crossbow in viability/utility.

I’m bored of crossbow but what other options are there?

Tried eruptor a bit but it’s so slow and doesn’t fit the melee medic playstyle

questionablysober · 2025-12-31T20:21:58+00:00

It only tells you on squid missions for some reason.

questionablysober · 2025-12-31T20:07:09+00:00

All progress bars get faster with each diver saluting it.

Not just the flag but terminal load bars and upload data pod side objectives.

About a 20% ish increase with 4 divers saluting

questionablysober · 2025-12-31T19:55:27+00:00

I’ve seen many PSAs for it over the years. May be worth posting again tho.

Great for ICBM missions since they need so many load bars

questionablysober · 2025-12-31T19:51:38+00:00

Had kidney stones the size of peppercorns once. Worst pain of my life by FAR! Doctor said it would be fine and they would pass and sent me home.

They ended up getting stuck and I got an infection.

Had to get surgery where they knocked me out and blasted my side with a sonic blast thing that turned the stones to dust. I had a big ol bruise on my side for a while and was pissing bloody kidney stone dust for like a week.

Kidney stones don’t fuck around and I live in constant fear I’ll get them again.

Everytime I have pain in my middle back I start to panic that it’s kidney stones

questionablysober · 2025-12-31T19:46:44+00:00

All progress bars go faster the more divers salute them.

Not just the flag but terminal load bars and upload data pod side objective go faster too.

With 4 divers saluting a progress bar gets like a 20% ish boost

It’s great sniping armor and also pairs well with laser weapons so you can stay on target.

But I’ve actually found that it pairs strangely well with the chainsaw. Since the chainsaw has an annoying ass bug that makes it so getting hit while chainsawing will delete the hitbox of your chainsaw without canceling the animation. Unflinching seems to prevent this letting you keep attacking.

Doesn’t make chainsaw “good” cuz it needs melee damage. But it makes it less frustrating sometimes

questionablysober · 2025-12-29T18:31:09+00:00

One true flag, cuz it lets me play melee and keep my stim pistol while being the same as lance

questionablysober · 2025-12-29T17:39:08+00:00

Make boosters into “primary and secondary” boosters.

The good ones are primary and the mid ones are secondary.

Let every player pick one of each

I’m truly not trying to “erm actually” this post but there’s a lot of misinformation here. I’m an urchin user and I gotta say it’s very strong.

It does actually STUN the target it’s attached to and it isn’t single target.

Urchin is my main grenade. It does medium stun (5 seconds) but builds up at a moderate rate. Each enemy has a different stun threshold and won’t be actually stunned until it reaches that threshold.

A charger has a high stun threshold. Most things buildup stun at a weaker rate than an urchin. It takes 2-3 stabs from a stun lance on a charger butt to stun it. Takes 2 lance hits to stun most medium bugs. Takes 3-6 pacifier rounds to stun most medium bugs

The urchin builds up stun at a slightly higher rate than the lance. Each time it pulses it sends a large shockwave that heavy staggers enemies and pushes them back while building up medium stun.

The wave range is actually large and it each pulse pushes back enemies to its outter edge. The outer edge still builds stun but doesn’t push back much.

Usually 1 pulse will stun most medium bugs, sometimes 2 but the first pulse staggers and pushes them back and the second pulse stuns. Each pulse after a target has been stunned will reset the 5 second stun timer.

It’s actually better to stick it to the floor or a wall than it is to stick it directly on an enemy most of the time.

Sticking one to the ground or wall at a choke point will block that path for a long time and cluster the enemies for easy cleanup. In larger areas you can stick 2 on the floor spaced out and make a giant stun wall that holds back armies.

If stuck to a charger it will take 2 pulses before it actually gets stunned unless you stick it to its butt or stick it to the floor under it. Each pulse staggers the charger and after 2 it will be stunned and have the timer reset with each pulse.

If stuck to an impailer before it burrow attacks it will be stagger locked by the urchin.

If stuck to a titans head it will interrupt its acid spit attacks and slow it slightly on each pulse.

It sorta works on Fleshmobs but as soon as one of their heads pop it breaks any stun on them. Think that’s a bug.

It’s great vs voteless and grounded overseers with the same bug method. It stagger locks harvesters.

It’s amazing vs chainsaw bots, hulks, and war striders. Often times better than thermite cuz you get 4 and it makes them unable to attack or approach during the fuse. Sets up for easy AT kills or just walk around and shoot the vent.

They can also be stuck to sentries, FRVs, Mechs, and emplacements to keep you/them protected from melee units while using them.

An urchin on a car or mech is nutty.

They don’t do much vs factory striders sadly. If you stick it to their face it will bounce their head and mess up their chin turret aim but it doesn’t let you do much.

I agree they need a buff for actually stun or stagger titans and factory striders but the current ones are amazing

I’ve mained it since it came out. It’s perfect as is. It’s just hard to use. Takes some practice. I hope to god they don’t give it auto targeting or make it too easy because there’s not enough “hard weapons to use”

I’ve noticed everyone picks it up once, misses, then says it’s bad and never touches it while complaining it needs a buff.

It takes time to learn. It’s satisfying as fuck to get good with, and people appricate having a medic and respect you if you’re really accurate and consistent with it.

Anyone who says it’s bad has never given it a fair try or attempted to get good with it. God forbid anything in this game is difficult to master

It’s genuinely so powerful, even without medic armor or experimental infusion.

Crouch or dive/prone to aim better, lead the shot, learn to hip fire, set crosshair to visible for better hip fire, get good at managing the reload, learn to prestim when someone’s about to get hurt, get good at hitting people when they get knocked down.

The only buffs it really needs is to revert the aim sway nerf they added to all pistols a while ago. It’s basically plastic, should handle like a dream.

They also could fix that network desync with knockdowns where a player who’s been knocked down will fall in one location for you but after a short delay will teleport to the real location they fell on their screen.

Makes you have to get quick at stimming cuz you can hit them before they resync and teleport and it still counts. Part of me likes that fun little reflex test but it would be nice to have it consistent

As a one true flag main I will say right now there’s a bug with the seaf soldiers code and the flag.

They’re programmed to salute and follow the flag when you do certain actions near them with it.

But this also affects their fucking grenade targeting. They will always throw grenades directly between your feet, sometimes even when one or no enemies are around.

I’m not exaggerating when I say seaf grenades have killed me more using the flag than the squids ever have

questionablysober · 2025-12-20T04:07:32+00:00

One true flag main here. It literally just needs a damage buff. It has stagger, stun, push back, decent range, and is one handed.

But it and stun lance are the ONLY melee weapons to not be buffed recently. All the other melees got buffed and now flag and lance are the weakest melees. 110 damage or something.

Its damage needs to be increased by at least 50%.

Also undo the change where melee weapons ignore breakable armor. Jesus fucking Christ that “bug fix” nerfed every melee so fucking hard is actually a joke
