Worst Sonic game because it isn't aimed at mainline Sonic fans nor is a mainline Sonic game?

Anyone crying about Sonic Boom for being what it is is a man child, an idiot, ignorant and foolish individual. Developers them self said that it isn't aimed at mainline/core Sonic fans and they won't cater to them yet these Sonic fans are bunch of idiots crying about Sonic Boom when they have no right so as developers them self said again that it isn't aimed for them so how these fans have a right to complain about something that really has nothing to do with them except it is Sonic game that isn't for them, they use Sonic characters but does that mean that developers should cater to them and turn it into a mainline sonic game? No.

Also, should they really sacrifice platforming for speed and go away from what a Sonic game should be? Platforming and not speed as some want to believe, Sonic's speed is an illusion and it really wasn't about speed to begin with when Sonic franchise started. It was only used in marketing like that blast processing yet people as people are, they are stupid and can't understand simple explanations that are painfully obvious.

Now I am playing the role of mister obvious yet I can't because people can't see something so obvious that it is in front of them, its on their forehead yet they are stupid, borderline tarded. Bunch of wankers...

Also I laugh how people complained about Sonic Lost World being slow in 3D when it was the same speed as in 2D sections, people are just too stupid. Guess people nowadays have sub human inteligence compared to 10 years ago or more. At least people did some research versus nowadays. Painful.

kettle meet pot, if you actual read what he said the issue was with the controls. Dont know where you are getting this mainstream Sonic thing from. Doesnt matter who the game is aimed it if the controls suck, the game sucks.

It's hated_individual. Sonic Boom is exclusive to a Nintendo console, so even if he didn't play a single bit of the game unlike the guy in the OP, it doesn't and can't suck.

yeah, it makes no sense to me, none of us no better than the person who actually has hands on time. This reminds of Epic Mickey, played it at comiccon prior to it coming out, said the camera angle wasnt great, people flipped, served alot of crow later.

@Oniyide

Same shit about controls sucking was with Sonic Lost World when reviewers complained yet it wasn't anything like that from people I talked too... Some reviewers didn't even use run button... -_-"

Anyway reason Sonic Lost World didn't sell that much because of install base and reviewers that skewed the view of the game and projected factually wrong image of it and then issue that 3D levels are slow while actually it is the same speed as in 2D levels, its change of perception. :P

He isn't called "hated_individual" for nothing.

How does Sonic revive himself from the dead after Sonic 06 with Unleashed, Colors, 4 and Generations and fall back in this slop? Lost World disrupted the successful formula and Boom is a cash in. The series acts like it doesn't know how to keep a successful formula and has identity crisis

Lost World disrupted nothing, and was prey mostly to the Wii U's weak install base and a few baffling structural changes (like how 100 rings no longer meant a 1-up, which, combined with how quickly you get killed in Lost World, threw the difficulty curve off a cliff). It's still got the 2D-3D hybrid gameplay, just now with 3D levels that don't suck like Unleashed/Colors/Generations.


yes it did, reception and sales, you can blame WIi U all you want. People didnt like the game, so they didnt buy it. If it was actually good it would have legs. 3ds did better but not much and that has a much better install base. excuses

But the key is Lost World did nothing different in terms of game mechanics, aside from those points i cited (and a few others, pre-patch. Like mandatory tilt controls for some of the Wisps). It had 3D and 2D sections, and the 3D sections allowed for free movement, not forward auto-run. It's really hard to suggest that the game was just that much worse. Heck, most of the art-style was cribbed from Generations (and the game comes off very well for it).

The super-generic villains weren't much of a help, but that's neither here nor there.

Dimps. Tell them to make what is Sonic Advance 2, but in 3D.


I loved the Advance trilogy. To me it was Sonic 4-6 as brilliant continuation of Genesis games.  Shame the Rush games on DS didn't feel quite the same, nor did the actual Sonic 4 for that matter

Sonic 4 looked, sounded and played like a damn fan-made game! It's not worthy of being a sequel to the amazing Sonic 3 & Knuckles!

I don't listen to reviews or other opinions. Sonic Lost World was great and had terrible reviews,
Many games with amazing reviews are underwhelming.
Sonic Boom looks fun to me, and if it looks fun, I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

This is just one fella's opinion, right? LostWorld has an even split with people either loving it or hating it. Perhaps this is the same case.
