why do sonic fans complain about reviewers for doing their fucking job
i’m literally a sonic fan but i almost don’t want to admit it because i don’t want to be associated with these weirdos who are like “waaah, you’re not being objective! you’re just stating your opinion!” that’s what a reviewer is supposed to do???? and it’s hard to be Completely Objective when reviewing a piece of art???
Good game
I really wanted to like this game, because of how long it’s been since the last good Sonic game, but they had to go ahead and blow it.
To me those mindless puzzles are the evidence that this was made by sonic team, since unleashed they have felt the necesity to hold the player's hand and show them exactly what to do and how to. So here we have completely braindead activities and still they tell the player what to do.
This are kids games, but kids aren' idiots, they will figure it out wether you tell them or not.
I think it would have been better if they had less of this but making them a little challenging and unlocking large chunks of the map instead of tiny bits.
If they just fix the pop in that would be enough for me but they had 3 updates and nothing, maybe it's an engine limitation.
Real "Sega, hire this man" energy
Hahaha "Syntax"… Jesus Christ… 😑. This man throwing his big words at us.
For anyone wondering if they fixed this game, they did not. It’s such a chore to play. Adventure 2 is one of my favorite games of all time btw
I understood you reasoning for why this game wasn't actually just a botw coattail rider but then I heard the sound effects and saw the stamina bar and the serena piano in the trailer… nothing against sonic but uh… anyway the world look like it was from a 3d realistic asset pack, why didn't they go for something stylized?
This is def a kids game
It's now 2024 and being a fan of the character, I finally decided to give this game a try.
I had written out a long winded personal review, but realized it's just the same complaints the video and other people have. As a fan of the CHARACTER of Sonic all I'll say is I wish my brain had developed in a way that would have allowed me to enjoy this game, even a little bit. Take that as you will…
(It's not good)
I agree. I love sonic but this is hard to love
7:53 Laughed out loud.
Yea no this game is still sh*t. Don’t buy it guys
5:33 Wow, that's not even an exaggeration!
It's not that it's not recommended. It's just that human beings can never get satisfied
Well 9 months later it not only gave SEGA a reason to increase the budget and team for Sonic Team but it also became the most successful sonic game in the entire series
So… this aged well
The game is also made for young kids you got to remember😅😅😅
This game looks like someone modded in a free asset for an "island with different biomes" into a Sonic game, and then slapped some random pipes and blocks everywhere.
Sonic and the canvas curse
00:52 – Imagine if Sonic Frontiers looked like THIS! Despite its flaws, I probably would buy it if it retained this type of style. As it stands now, if you take Sonic out of the game, the graphics look no different than many modern open world games.
I bought this game the night before it would come out.
This game is NOT worth a 7/10.
This needed a total redo, better writers and more time and effort put into it.
It has good ideas don't get me wrong, but I HATED the characters in this game and it's story. HATED IT.
I played like 2 hours of this game and it just felt like an Alpha. Just an absolutely awful open world. The actual stages are bright and colorful with cool music.
Im playing it right now and every time i try to do any kind of precision platforming the camera just jerks around to some awful fixed angle. I am so frustrated. Also i have nothing to do but wait for the sthpid day night cycle to pass to do the night only crap which is the last stuff left for me to do, hence me killing time here on youtube while my game just sits there. Incredible.
Sonic adventure 2 was imo the last good 3d sonic game. They had it. They had a good working formula and just decided to never use it again. Why? Why cant they just make sonic adventure 3 without all these stupid car-like controls and dumb gimmicks. I cant fathom.
it really says something that a middling 6 or 7 out of 10 open world game is basically an 11/10 sonic game.
Don't you mean I do recommend, this game is just amazing?
People have awful takes, God forbid it isn't a Sony movie game
I still haven't gotten over the fact that they put these ps2 textured characters in a much more realistic environment. It will never not look weird to me.
Haven’t even finished this game and the fact that somebody who has reflects how I feel about it already makes me worried. The world does feel purposeless and thrown together. I can’t compliment the movement in the game either, and that’s like The Thing for platformers. It feels like it fights to be free but always constrained to automation. The layout seems to rarely attempt to promote unique and engaging traversal. The game just gets boring much quicker than its runtime.
I recommend Sonic Frontiers because, even though some people don't see it as that good, it's not bad (unless a perfectionist is playing) . And, I see that Sonic Team put a lot of work into this game. And if nobody bought the game, it would have been a waste of Sonic Team's time and money. So I recommend Sonic Frontiers. They can make this better. And for people who have problems with the combat, DON'T GET THE AUTO COMBO! IT'S THAT SIMPLE!
I do agree with some of the stuff you said though.
I mean… If you rather use more than just one button, just don't get the auto combo from the skill tree.
I'm a pro with the camera.
Idc what people say about this game. Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic game in years. But thanks for the video cuz Sonic Team can take what you don't like and make it better. But you do sound like a perfectionist, though.
It's always awesome watching those Sonic fans lose their shit when reviews for the latest Sonic Team dumpster fire gets reviewed.
Ive always hated the way this and legends arceuses world looks. All the charecters and objects are in a very appealing cartoony style. Whereas the world looks like unreal engine. Itd be so much better if they made the world actually fit the style of the things in that world.
I love how hard-core Sonic fans say that cyberspace is the worst part. While some non-hard-core Sonic fans say that cyberspace is good and one of the best parts of the game.
idk why I wasted my money on this game I deleted the game on the 3rd island💀
Man. I remember seeing the first gameplay of this and thinking “well, that could be good if they worked on the level design”…they seemingly never did outside of the old school levels
5:01 "Lets make a chill sonic game that feels like breath of the wild" tbh the more I look at this game thr more I feel lile that's what sonic team was going for.
To me I think one of the main reasons why this game kinda failed so hard is because sega and sonic team are not being creative, thet spend too much time trying to copy other big games plot, story and ideas when they should just make their own creative sonic content and ideas. This game has a huge lack of good quality gameplay, Sonics model looks shit considering the fact they brought that over from lost world and forces when they could've just make a new model,the story and plot is really underwhelming and shit and the way they execute the story is really lame plus the way sonic and the other characters animations are in the game is really bad plus the gameplay is really lack luster.
3:23 I cant believe sonic team released this game knowing how bad the pop ins are and how half baked this game looks and feels.💀
2:14 Looks like the only thing that made it out ok in this game was the soundtracks😂😂
Bro acctually said the cyberspace levels were fantastic, it's the worst part of the whole game💀
Two words… SONIC UTOPIA
Cyberspace is AMAZING , the rest is pretty mid
hello world
This game feels like a basic unity world pack with sonic game assets thrown around haphazardly
So, there's a potential formula in there… so I guess that means Sonic Team will throw it in the trash and start from scratch again next time.
The game is a 7/10 for me. I know, its nothing compared to the games I've played but I had a fun time with it. It felt more like an experimentation rather than an actual game, tbh. It feels like Sonic Team wanted to gather feedback on global level, so they tried the hell out of literally everything in this game which kinda resulted into somewhat of a mess, but it was an enjoyable experience overall. The open-world is like a playground where you can run around and complete obstacle courses, the boss fights despite being tad easy are truly amazing, cyberspace levels are good, just good. The story wasn't anything crazy but was a relief from all the shitty plotlines in past games. The characterization however was actually amazing here, I gotta say. Ian Flynn definitely was the right choice for this game. The finale is meh, no need to stress that out enough.
Overall, its a fun fun game. Again, 7/10 for me, personally. Its one of the fastest selling Sonic games, Sega hired a Lore Director and is expanding the Sonic Team, bigger budgets are confirmed for next games, Kishimoto's been taking a lot of feedback online. I hope Sega gives Sonic Team the time they want for the next title. The dev team has all the pieces to put together now, to create an incredible experience for the next game.
so sick of "this could be really good next time" excuse for Sonic Team. I'm done assuming they are capable of improving upon their bad-to-mid formulas. They haven't genuinely broke ground since Sonic 3. It's clear the devs simply don't have the necessary skills.
