Why do we pretend to hate this again?
>>747689569Because meta era bad
roller coaster levels that nearly play themselves are boring.
Last soulful Sonic game releasedThe hype leading up to this was fun
>>747689569I liked this game when it released. I played it on Shadow Generations and it didn't live up to my nostalgia.
Now that boost era is over we all know Unleashed was the best one out of it and we can stop thinking each new release "broke the Sonic cycle" when all of it was mediocre.
>>747690543Generations was the better boost game for having actual platforming, and not having 60% of the game be hack n slash crap Generations>Unleashed>Colors>(Storybook Games)> the rest genuinely don't fucking matter from 2008-2022
>>747689569Sonic was never good
The 3D levels are alrightThe 2D ones range from bad to goodThe bosses are fucking shit, especially silver and dragoon
>>747690775IGN...
It represents a failure of Sega to unify their visions for the character and that all they have to rely on is nostalgiaslop. This game was the point at which they openly gave up.
>>747690885Silver's piss easy thoAnd Egg Dragoon would've been a good boss if they got rid of the trash 2D Sections and didn't restrict the movement to lanes in 3D. Don't even get me started on Time Eater
>>747689569It controls like crap compared to the shadow campaign.
>>747690943NopeTHIS was the game that represents that failure and reliance on nostalgia slop
>>747691002>A 2024 game controls better than a 2011 game That's a dumb complaint ngl
>>747691025I do not even acknowledge this thing's existence as part of Sonic canon
>>747689569the final boss
>>747691054Nah, anon. Frontiers's cyber levels control worse than base generations
>>747689961I bought the Shadow version cheap and that was 6 hours of kino. I didn't re-touch the Sonic stuff. I played Generations a year or 2 ago and it was okay. Shadow's story was very fun, the only segment I didn't like so much was the form he takes to swim in purple goo.
>>747691510And that's validThe criticism should always be "This newer game doesn't control as good as the old one" not "the old game doesn't control as good at the new one"
3D stages sucked ass compared to Unleashed, Rush or even Colors. 2D stages sucked due to Sonic himself being absolute ass to control.
>>747693731I'll never get why people say the 3D stages were worse than UnleashedUnleashed is literally just hold X to win. The platforming sections are shit. Generations at least makes an attempt to make them fun
