I've been thinking a lot about this lately, but do you guys think Sonic is overhated? Even though the franchise does deserve its criticism of being inconsistent in terms of gameplay style and quality, people overblow their hate to ridiculous proportions. I may hate a good deal of Sonic games, but the franchise isn't godawful like some people like Egoraptor make it out to be. After the Rise of Lyric situation, we're back to where the franchise was after Sonic 06; people hating Sonic and saying that he's dead. Rise of Lyric was bad, but it's a spin-off game, and Sonic spin-offs have never had the best history.
Let's hope that 25th anniversary game is good so people would shut up about Sonic being "dead."
