I beat Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze's main story in a day, dying around 30 times, whereas it'll have taken me two days to beat Sonic Lost World's main story, and I've died over 70 times with 2 gameovers, this before even beating the final level. Does this mean Sonic is actually the harder game despite what I had heard people saying about the difficulty in Tropical Freeze? Or does this mean Sonic is unbalanced n broken? The whole "everything insta kills you" in the later half of the game could be seen as unfair, but also as just a sharper difficulty spike. I dob't know, what are yal's thoughts on this!?


Maybe you just suck at Sonic.....

 

(This is humor intended, don't get offended) :P

lol definitely not at Sonic in general, maybe just this game specifically.

I would say factors such as control, enemy placement, checkpoints, mechanics, etc.

For example, in Tropical Freeze, the controls are very precise and everything is very polished so whenever I fuck up I feel like it's my fault. In Sonic Lost World, the control is very finicky and hard to predict, so I feel like the game is to blame for a lot of my deaths.


But the game still doesn't control Sonic, you do! He wont jump if you don't press the jump button, wont run if you don't press the run button, etc.!

So you ask a qustion.. and when people give you an answer you don't like.. you go into "you are not right" mode.. ?

Ontopic.. DCTF is AAA from Nintendo.. SLW is (in best case) AA from Sega..


Whut? I have no stakes in whether Sonic is unfair or not. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of what makes something unfair instead of difficult. So far all the reasons given as to why Sonic is unfair can also be said for why it's difficult and I was just pointing that out.
