Well, they're bastards, but they said it to our faces. Right. Sonic Team must burn! I remember the good old days with SA and SA2:B on the GC. Good times, good times. |

Marketing purely to kids used to work for video games, but now enough time has passed that older gamers are now parents themselves. The "Penny Arcade" guys have procreated, for fuck's sake. If you're pissing off the gamers, why would they buy your products for their kids? 3) I'm just amazed enough people bought the last game that the "werehog"-concept was deemed worthy of sequel-age. I'd love to know just where they're getting these ideas that their products aren't monstrous piles of poo. For the record, I haven't bought a Sonic game since "Sonic Adventure" (Big the Cat can F.O.A.D. for all I care) and I refuse to buy one until I see them make a game worthy of a purchase. |

I had to look up those acronyms, lol, I feel so lame. I actually missed the Dream Cast (wich is too bad, I wanted "Typing of the Dead") so consequently missed those Sonic games. How were they, any good? I was skeptical of the games with the whole teams thing (Team Sonic and Team Dark and stuff). Did they have Dr. Robotnik by chance? |

I actually haven't played Sonic Adventure much, but I loved SA2. It was basically play as good or play as evil. Robotnik was on the evil side, but his and Rouge's stages kind of sucked. I actually liked Tails' and Robotnik's stages, but Sonic's and Shadow's were the best. If you want the last example of good Sonic 3D platforming, look to those stages. Fun as hell. I'm getting ahead of myself. In case you don't know, Rouge and Knuckles had treasure-hunting stages. Kind of annoying, but could be fun. Tails and Robotnik had "lock-on to and shoot all enemies stages." Sonic and Shadow had the classic stages. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1099 Joined: 31 Mar 2008     | You cold make the werehog cooler by not calling him a "werehog", making him run fast, stop making his arms stretch, and not ripping of God of War. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 719 Joined: 21 Feb 2008 |
Basically, eliminating him. I like that plan. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4970 Joined: 10 Jan 2009   | Good lord. I've seen some incredible crap, but it really takes balls to NOT ADMIT that almost everyone who played your game disliked that part of it. Thanks Sonic Team. Now I can continue to not buy your games, because you continue to exploit the poor hog to the extreme. Next up: Shadow 2, with more guns and silly plotline! We know, we thought it was impossible too! |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2849 Joined: 8 Jul 2008   | Thank you SEGA, you've finally killed your mascot. After all these years your hard work has payed off. Thank you Thank you ... No how about f*ck you. Give Sonic some dignity and let Nintendo but him for f*cks sake... |
Muckraker  Posts: 266 Joined: 21 Jan 2009  | The werehog will be back... Fuck yahtzee, don't put both barrels into sonic, put em into all members of Sonic Team. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 731 Joined: 12 Dec 2007    | This has been said already, but not in so many words. But here's what you can do with the werehog: 1. Retcon it out of existence in the next game. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2627 Joined: 27 Aug 2008    | So I guess Sonic Team isn't listening to the critics. I'm not normally one to follow Yatzhee blindly but the words 'pants on head' and 'retarded' spring to mind. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2905 Joined: 3 Jan 2008    | oh you KNOW your all going to buy the next game JUST to bitch about it. You allways do, and if you didn't you wouldn't have a right to bitch. Face it your either buying there games, giving them money and complaining. Or your renting or playing at a friends house, you get the idea. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 768 Joined: 23 Nov 2008    | ...FFS Sega. (Okay then by this I mean, Sonic Team) Come on. @ Above, nope didn't, played a demo in the shop, made my judgement from that 20 minutes. Sega has freakin lost the plot as far as Sonic, and they're right in a way, theres no going back. EA did the impossible. Sega have to rearrange the Cosmos. |

Just wanted to add the PS2 Shinobi game to that list, along with Skies of Arcadia. Oh, and Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution. Actually, the more I think about it, the more it seems like Sega sucks the most when they stick with the franchises that made them famous (like Sonic). Wait... But then there's that Shinobi game, which was awesome... Eh, I guess it's just Sonic. Sort of like Nintendo and the Mario sports games that aren't Tennis. |

It took you this long to find out? ;P We're more bitching about how SEGA (Or Sonic Team if you want to get specific) aren't listening to anyone and continuing with something that nobody liked (generalization, of course). They're not paying attention to anyone, not the critics, fans, internet, consumers, or god! You'd think after so many low scores they'd notice that Sonic is dead, no?
Actually, Sonic and the Black Knights come to mind, though that was made by Bioware of all people to work on a Sonic game. Though I think that game was average at best and piece of crap at worst. EDIT: So I guess we're all in agreement? We all hate the Sonic Team right now. |

That is beyond terrible... At any rate, you want Sega to stop making these games? STOP BUYING THEM. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 874 Joined: 21 Feb 2009   | Is it me, or does anybody else find it hilarious that the best recent incarnation of Sonic was done by NINTENDO? Load up Brawl, go to Subspace Emissary, pick Sonic, and tell me that that isn't better than Unleashed and Secret Rings combined. (And yes I know that HAL is the actual company behind Brawl, but Brawl is published by Nintendo, and HAL is a Nintendo second party) |

There's a thin line between terrible and awesome. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 64 Joined: 25 Feb 2009    | My totally disdain for Sonic Team cannot be described. They've taken the game series that I started with and turned him into this. Seriously what will it take for them to get this through their incredibly thick skulls. Sonic Team you have not come up with a single decent idea in all this time. Then you say you don't care about the people who originally gave you the money to make Sonic 2 and the rest. They may be the most unintelligent people on this planet how can they not understand that these games are bad. It's amazing how much damage can be done in 10 years. Sonic you were my first video game friend but...I can no longer speak to you. ....end rant |

And I quote:
...In my world the line between terrible and awesome is HUGE... Big enough to see from space... Considering they're polar opposites and all. |

actually yes they can. sonic rivals on the PSP was horrible. the boards were glitchy, all the special attacks were gay and the story was more embarrassing than watching the first season of naruto in english.
now sonic rush however was a really nice game for a varity of reasons one can find even in user reviews on gamefaqs. the boards were large and rich in color, the music was addictive, the story, although equally embarrassing was atleast kept short.
you wanna know why the difference is so big?
Ask Dimps studio's on how they kept sonic team away from there work on the DS.
