Wait... Did people think that "DX" meant "Director's Cut"?
As a 13 year old I knew it was wrong but I still questioned it, like when Japanese marketing geniuses think "X" means "crossover" when two companies collaborate.
As for the topic at hand, I feel like Sonic Adventure is one of those pieces of media that has aged horribly, not because its a bad game but because its flaws were forgivable when there wasn't anything to compare it to. Sonic Adventure 2 resolved a lot of the flaws, tightened up the gameplay slightly, still had issues of its own but feels more polished than the first game. Don't get me wrong, I still play both Adventure games once a year or so, but I don't think any kid today is gonna pick up Sonic Adventure and be as blown away as we were when it launched.
