The genesis games were not that fast paced compared to most of their 3D games.

That's not really a fair comparison though. The speed is also pretty spectacular on Genesis if you play right.

What's not fair is when the people worship the genesis games like god, then criticise Lost World and now this game for being slower. That's just hypocritical!

You're talking about the Sonic fanbase here as well, you know? There's so many different opinions on Sonic that it just seems like people contradict their own opinions. It's actually just an illusion because each Sonic fan has its set of opinions but as a whole the fans can't really seem to find what they want together.

That being said, I think Lost World didn't have to be as slow as it is. We're not restricted to 16-bit hardware anymore. Now Sonic Boom gets bashing because it barely tries to be a fast Sonic game.

The Sonic Fanbase can More or less be summarised into the following groups:

Character Obsessed: 

Furries

Sonic Recoolers/Jake The Hedgehog

2D Sonic:

S3K and like platformming

Sonic CD 

Handhelds

3D Sonic:

2.5 D/platformming Generations/Unleashed (Speed)

3D Platforming Adventure Series/ Shadow the hedgehog

 

I myself believe the adventure series had the most potential, and just needed to be faster and less glitchy
