Actually, looking back at it, Sonic Wii U could be our Sonic '06.
No, not even. Rise of Lyric is bad, but not 06 bad. The gameplay itself dos function well when it's not glitching out and the story alone saves it from 06 status and puts it above Shadow the Hedgehog. (Speaking of which, he's such a ****ing tool in these games. Terribly written. Not even slightly enjoyable like he is in the main series where he was once one of my top favorites.)Actually, looking back at it, Sonic Wii U could be our Sonic '06.
And the game that's very different in tone and art could be Sonic 3DS, as it does have somewhat of a Metroidvania concept to it, something the other Sonic games have not done yet (apart from Tails' Adventure).
Creepy when they meet themselves but with their eyes closed.
You mean half-a grump and friends?The Game Grumps are doing it again : Sonic '06 2.0 aka Sonic Boom :
I'm very gald that the show is pretty good. (So far)At least the show is good and the comic has promise, though.
Still, I can't wait to see just how well we can break it.No, not even. Rise of Lyric is bad, but not 06 bad.

And Shattered Crystal is an okay game. Not great, but terrible, but just okay. It does function well enough is it still plays pretty much like a Sonic game with a slower and more controlled boost. I can easily enjoy it. It just needed to do more things with it's levels and bosses instead of being so samey everywhere until the final boss which is still lackluster anyway.
You and me both, man. XDCreepy when they meet themselves but with their eyes closed.
And sorry for laughing, but I almost died at the 'Finally! I'm tired going around in circles.'
People seeing the game flop was something practically everyone saw coming, even from dedicated Sonic fans that tend to be "tricked" by the Sonic Cycle effect. For me I knew something was up when E3 rolled around and I noticed that the quality dropped between that and the first reveal.
...I'm just gonna copypasta what I said at Sonic Stadium. Ahem...
...Okay, no. That's it. I give up. I'm done.
I've been willing to defend this game for the potential fun it has when it functions correctly, but THIS? This is where I draw the line.
I'm sorry, but that's just...terrible.
At the very least, rather than being the second coming of 06, this game is the second coming of Shadow the Hedgehog. Sort of akin to this little chart right here from earlier in the thread.
Seriously though, just...ugh. At least Shattered Crystal functions properly, though it doesn't do very much aside from that in actuality. Plus...you all saw the 100% vid. I get that they're doing The Robot and it calls back to the scene with Sonic and Shadow, but for that to be the final reward? Meh.
I really wanted to love the Boom games, but all of this stuff and everyone's negativity have just killed any possibility of me doing so. At least the show is good and the comic has promise, though.
I guess every muscle-head-I-lift-things-up-and-put-them-down has to be dumb......did they really make Knuckles THAT dumb? I mean, holy jeez.
Well I mean, he is the strong man of the group......did they really make Knuckles THAT dumb? I mean, holy jeez.
Guys, you know that Sonic '06 killed the franchise right ? Ironicly, Sonic dies in this game too.
And in the intro of Sonic Boom, Sonic is getting destroyed right in the begining. Everything links perfectly.
Go to Preferences and there's gonna be Post Background option.I guess every muscle-head-I-lift-things-up-and-put-them-down has to be dumb.

Hey Dromader, how do get that character theme to appear by my posts?
All we need is Time Travel.Guys, you know that Sonic '06 killed the franchise right ? Ironicly, Sonic dies in this game too.

It causes lifelong traumas.I don't know though, Sonic '06 had bestiality, what does Sonic Boom Wii U have?
Well you know what? I was stupidly optimistic and now I'm paying for it. I wanna say "Lost World was bad enough", but at least they patched the glitches in that game. Hell, I see now that Lost World isn't nearly as bad as I made it out to be in comparison to Sonic Boom. It often takes something worse to make you see how good something else is. I'm 100% willing to give Lost World Wii U a full chance now.People seeing the game flop was something practically everyone saw coming, even from dedicated Sonic fans that tend to be "tricked" by the Sonic Cycle effect.

Needs a bit more of an oomph to it.It causes lifelong traumas.
You mean something like vore or scat fetish? Because I don't know if something like that is in the game.Needs a bit more of an oomph to it.
No, that's kept for the Internet, we need to go deeper. Something that could not only tick off Sonic fans, but be hopeful enough to have fangirls defend it.You mean something like vore or scat fetish?
What wrong with that?You mean something like vore or scat fetish?
YeaPeople actually expected Sonic Boom to be good?
We are talking about a game that is adapted from a show that took a video game franchise to exist. I'm sorry, but it was predictable that this was going to be a piece of crap. It's like a game from a movie, it's pratically always baaaaaaaad. This Sonic, while still being original, had no f*cking way to be good.Well you know what?

****ing hell. I haven't been this pissed off at a Sonic game since Secret Rings.
When I saw Metal in Boom I was like "OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD"The story is pointless.
Knuckles is stupid.
Shadow is irrelevant.
Metal sonic is scrappable.
The way the game introduce the new characters is very bad.
The main villain has stupid plans of a robotic world.
And we have time travel that makes no sense at all...
I dunno, to me it looked pretty bad from the first trailer (these plastic-fantastic models ware so ugly, plus they already ware spreading themselves too thin gameplay wise). Hell, people started to go "uh-oh" as soon as we saw how Knucks and Sonic looked like. I guess it took longer for others to lose hope, but eventually, everyone saw this ship sinking loooong in advance.People seeing the game flop was something practically everyone saw coming, even from dedicated Sonic fans that tend to be "tricked" by the Sonic Cycle effect.

Wish there was more musclehead characters that weren't jocks/dumbasses.I guess every muscle-head-I-lift-things-up-and-put-them-down has to be dumb.

Alright. You can go ahead and host
Rotations?Alright. You can go ahead and host
Maybe it's the signature?
I'm glad you posted this; I was thinking of getting Sonic Boom but I think I'll probably just rent it.
