Is it time for Sega to put Sonic down?

he can only go up from here at this point. 14 29.17%
 
he deserves one more chance 8 16.67%
 
R.I.P Sanic 26 54.17%
 
Total:48

This is one of those "who the hell in their right minds thought this was a good idea?" games.

I don't think any option applies, so I voted RIP Sanic.

However, the way I see it is, Sega should just take a moment to think about all the crap they've done to this series and realize why people liked it in the beginning - then hire some talented people and make some good games. No one needs yearly Sonic games, even if they're good - let alone if they're terrible.

Sega no longer needs Sonic to sell consoles, so at this point they're just milking the franchise for all it's worth.  They're not going to invest resources into Sonic, especially after this disaster.

Sighh, Sega, please get some quality control... How can you not care this much about your main mascot that was once a competitor to Mario? This is just sad, it was funny at one time but this is just so, so sad

I guess that makes Sonic the only series that is managing to hit virtually every "10th" score there is loll. From 3x to 9x


seriously Sonic 06 was the funny kind of bad while Boom looks like the awkward kind of bad.


One of the things I'd hoped for when Sega bought Atlus was that Sega would let Atlus handle some localizations of other Sega properties like Shining Resonance, Phantasy Star Nova, or Yakuza. Thankfully I kept those expectations pretty low.



This is what happens when you give a good franchise to a bad company.....this is almost the same situation with colonial marines.



Man Nintendo might be a bit annoyed that they spent money on poor quality games. Then again with the cartoon it might still sell, guess we'll have to wait and see.

Im still going to try the game as I doubt it could be worse than sonic 06. Honestly I think this game is being underscored by reviewers who don't like that it's not "sonic". Not that im saying it's a good game, just that theyre being extra harsh.

I miss the days of good Sonic games...

Sonic 3 on the Genesis (Megadrive) is still one of my favorite games to this day! And that game is older than me!

Sonic Adventure 2 was the best 3D Sonic game.

Ugh... just by watching Boom's gameplay, Sonic 06 is already better. Let's compare:

Wave Ocean (best level in Sonic 06, in my opinion) > Sonic Boom

'Nuff said.



   

But I thought everybody on Miiverse is having fun with it and prasing the game to heaven... What's wrong with reviewers??



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

I wish they'd throw this much marketing support behind something other than Sonic.

I know right... Watch, Persona 5 is going to come out and it isn't even going to get marketed very well...

Atlus knows how to market...in Japan.

Hopefully, Sony will market it for Sega well cause well you know

Agreed 100%

Despite the Plot Holes, terrible sound mixing (GC), Glitches (Although still very playable), and bad camera, it had the most important thing a Sonic game should have Speed/Fun.

SA3 bring back british shadow, touch up graphics to like 720 60 fps, stablize the camera like what the have on mario 3d games, improve the story a tad bit (doesn't need to be serious, this is Sonic after all) instant GOTY
