Well I think the nature of the game meant that reviewers would destroy it for not "being a sonic game" anyway. Still this is very worrying, I was hoping it would at least be a competent enough platformer as it's really the only one coming out all year. since DK anyway.


You should try Shovel Knight. Its awesome

Oh yeah. Was going to buy that when I saw it but put it on the back burner and completely forgot about it. Maybe if Nintendo had a way to advertise games on the start up dashboard then I wouldn't have.

My bet it they ran out of time/money, shipped an incomplete, buggy, unoptimised build, and withheld review copies in an attempt to control the damage.


This is Colonial Marines levels of shit, but at least they didn't out right lie to the consumer this time.



I'll just sit here and wonder what would EAD do with Sonic oh well...

Sega should just give Sonic to Nintendo



Could be because pre-patch reviews were what killed Lost World (i got the game at Christmas after the patch and found it enjoyable, if marred by a kind of "oops, you're dead!" difficulty). Perhaps they intend to patch it post-release



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Watch as Sega uses the poor sales of this game to justify no further Wii U support.

Cos it must be the audience's fault of course, it couldn't be that the game is shit...

It wasn't even made by sega, it looked and sounded terrible since day 1


Not being developed by Sega should have benefitted the game.

This, Sega have produced enough awful Sonic games that a different developer was actually a promising prospect.

What the heck is going on with this game xDDDD

That should have been their stratedgy with Aliens: Colonial Marines :D lmao.



 

Holy bejeezus, this game is horrendous!

This is just the first hour of the game... just look at how piss poor it is!  See how many bugs / glitches you can spot... might top Sonic '06 as the worst Sonic game ever.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
