Still doesn't beat the interview where Izuka implied that we're only criticizing Frontiers and comparing it to other open world games because we "just don't understand it yet".

I feel like people take that interview out of context, tbf

All he said was that fans shouldn't make definite judgements about the game when seeing a small portion of the game and playing it in its entirety are different things.

 

[MooMew64]

I just realized I have no idea how much Forces sold.

Maybe it did well enough to make developers think it made at least a decent part of the fans happy? shrug

They never released numbers. Fan guesses are maybe a few million, like, maybe 2 or so.

FWIW, plenty of people actually did like it, event content creators: Jirad the Completionist, Project SNT, and Peter Knetter all liked it. It definitely had its audience.

Sonic's a dog**** franchise. Don't become a fan.

 

[MooMew64]

Lost World is good.

I’m still gutted over the revelation that Sonic won’t kiss a human princess again.

/s obviously. Weirdo.

It's not like he ever did

Lost World is good.

Impossible.

It was on the Wii U.

To be fair

Elise kissed him while he was straight up dead, sooooooo

Yeah, technically, Sonic himself never kissed a human. Elise kissed a hedgehog.

A dead hedgehog.

She’s a whole freak, yo.

Wii U had Woolly World, there were some exceptions

Parkour good

I like to imagine that the event left Sonic low-key traumatized and it’s why he never visits Soleanna.

The summoner happens to overhear a conversation between the members of the latest Harmonized Hero pairing. They sure seem to be getting along well! What could they be discussing? Listen in and find out! #FEHeroes #FireEmblem pic.twitter.com/WNiDLBlLC7

I thought it was because 06 more or less retconned itself.

depends on if you take the Twitter takeovers canon

Obviously it was just a fun gag response, but like, I just really like the idea that no, Sonic remembers all of it, but desperately wishes he didn’t lol

At the least, if Sonic Team's gonna acknowledge Mephiles, I hope they also throw a bone to Elise.

I wanna know what's going on with these censors if the phrase "chub pup" is somehow too hot for them.

TheMightyP @Hat N' Clogs Lamperouge Noipoi

new Izuka interview, he was asked how hard it is to appeal to new and old fans, especially when hardcore fans have a very specific minset tor what they want from the series:






lol

I mean, when Forces was first announced alongside Mania, people were really happy about there heing both 2D and 3D games which I feel is Iizuka's point.

Also I played Forces on Tuesday and bruh people straight up lie about this game. It's got one of the coolest original stages I've seen in a 3D Sonic game for a looooong time, the game doesn't tell you to just "go with the flow" as in "Let go of your controller", score is actually a pretty challenging thing to get done, Boost is actually harder to maintain as rings only refill Double Boost and the game is at worst just mediocre rather than a blight on the face of the earth. Sonic fans need to play an ACTUAL unplayable mess smh

 

[PeridotGX]

the silver lining is that she's being created after Ultimate, and there's probably going to be another FE game between now and Smash 6. Pepsi-Woman won't be in in Smash.

actually wait never mind that sucks

Implying they won't drop her and the newer protagonist at the same time

You underestimate their power.

People act like this game is bottom three video games ever made and bruh, it ain’t even close. TBH it actually has some dope ideas.

It’s like…At worst sometimes boring? IDK, like, I think it’s alright. It’s just kind of mid. The worst part is Classic Sonic IMO.

And the boost to win argument is literally only supported from two cherry picked moments.

Sonic fans dead up think everything that isn’t exactly what they want is another Boom or 06.

they then throw in Shez and those blonde ****ers from FE Warriors just to make sure there’s more swordfighters for people to love and worship

She deserves it after unfunny people pretended like she's the worst part of the game for over a decade.

I ain’t gonna say she was the worst part but I honestly don’t see any reason why she deserves to return

 

[ZephyrZ]

Today is one of those days where my brain and body both decided that I'm just going to be miserable all day.

Random body aches and intense fatigue for no discernable reason, horaaaaay.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Okay I changed my mind- Sonic Forces has good writing actually.

There was a problem fetching the tweet
