Thats your opinion, doesnt make it a fact now does it, the world doesn't revolve around you, just cos you dont like it doesn't mean other people dont.

Are you getting the 3DS version ?


was planning on it, since it wasnt going to be that much different than the Wii U version. But now...i dont know. Ill wait to see if there is a demo and check it out. If there isnt. Ill wait for a price drop


Well, I've only played the demos, had no issues with the controls and thought it was pretty good personally. I think a lot of the reviewers just expected something different.

people really will bend over backwards to find an excuse to like something that sucks.

Sonic was poorly made with shitty controls and poor level design, which is why it was 'hard', not an intentional decision. it's just bad. Sometimes, you gotta accept that and move on.


I'll give my 2 cents after finishing the game, DKCR also had a lot of parts that you had to memorize but people didn't seem to mind that nor did I and the game got good reviews anyways because it's DKC lol.

well most would do that, if they spent 50 bucks and many hours of their lives hyping it. They dont want to look or feel like theyve beeen had.

 

hell i was guitly of this myself with KOF 12 i gave the same reasons and excuses people have always given. Reviewers didnt get it, they hate Japanese games. etc. But after a week i realized no this game just sucked and i should have gotten Blazblue. For me at least overall reviews are more accurate than not

It's kinda sad seeing reviews like this one so low:
http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/sonic-lost-world-wii-u

1/5....that's just beyond bad. I'm pretty sure the game isn't this bad.


Yeah reviews like this and others like the one that gave Halo 4 a 20% are just ridiculous. It would have to imply the game is totally unplayable possibily scaring to look at and no amount of possible fun to be had. Reviews like that are just trying to get attention.

people didnt mind because it had tight controls and great level design, and great gameplay overall. 

ill wait for the demo on eshop before i make my final decision on Sonic

the game is averaging 62 on metracritic and people still defend it, at least it it was in the 70s, and 20 out of the 38 reviews are below 7s

Exactly.

Gamespot's review is even worse as the reviewer also tries to demonstrate the idea that the game is difficult by showing clips where he intentionally die (or maybe he's just extremely bad at the game, not sure).

The game is most likely not great, but that Gamespot's review is really a joke, I can't believe one of the biggest site in the industry can be so unprofessionnal. 

The day I ceased to perceive video game media reviews as credible sources.

"Unprofessional?"

How So?

It's either one of those two reasons (only the reviewer knows the truth as he made the review):

1) Showing clips where he intentionally dies to falsely prove his stance that the game is too difficult (It could be too difficult, but why not really show why?)

2) Letting a reviewer who is either a) incapable of playing the game at a skill level achieved by 95% of the players who showed their playthrough or b) simply didn't spend nearly enough time playing the game before reviewing it (hence how much he sucks).

And for those who say ''How dare people defend this game'': for me at least, it's not about defending the game or trying to prove that it's good, the problem here is that some reviewers clearly did an extremely poor or dishonest work of reviewing this game.
