Sonic Lost World has terrible level design and it's barely a Sonic game. You're welcome
11:00 the sneak diss on a game you like is FOUL
Do people think Sonic 4 is Mania? Only way to explain it 😂
Insert braindead comment about how a 7/10 is a 10/10 to a Sonic fan.
At least it's not the Zelda fandom where an 8.8 is seen as sacrilege and the reviewer should be marched through the streets having tomatoes thrown at them.
Tbh I’d rather play sonic 06 than play sonic 4 episode 1
I was waiting for sonic heroes insult . . . smh
Why should we not have laughed if it's gonna be at least 70% that doesn't review mind if we just say it's at least 69 percent? *Laughing out loud * get it because it's the funny number?
0:50 buddy, the thing you need to realize about game critics is that they are not just some people apart of some fun group that gets together and shares their opinions on some of their favorite and least favorite video games. These guys are professional journalists. When they play these video games, they’re not doing it to have a good time. They are literally conducting an investigation of what each game does right, does wrong, why fans would enjoy, why others would not enjoy it, and based on that information they have gathered, they (ideally) should write a completely unbiased review, which communicates their findings with people who are looking into buying the game, and based off of their findings give a score that will be publicly displayed, and also be aggregated on metacritic (which is where most people are going to get that information).
Once again, these are professionals and not just some people apart of some club. They’re getting paid to write articles and reviews, so I think it is entirely fair to hold these people accountable when they don’t give good reviews.
I'm the only one who likes sonic 4 and sonic forces
Don't forget about Sonic Free Riders, which barely isn't the lowest rated Sonic game of all time, being only 1 point higher than Sonic 06. That game is physically painful to play, it should be lower if you ask me
i'm just watching the college dropout album in background lmao
Funny how you said if sonic 4 is your first game you’ll become evil but I’m a pretty nice guy and sonic 4 was my first game and my favorite back then idk why well after playing 4 pt2, generations, forces, frontiers, the og sonic games, the goated adventure games, heroes and more I can say that Sonic 4 is bad but if I combine it with episode 2 I honestly like the game,
I think review scores matter at least a little bit because they do still get reactions out of everybody. Like if the game I really loved got an underwhelming score sure it’s not gonna change how I feel about it but a little part of me would still be bummed that everyone else didn’t feel the same way.
Sonic peaked with mania. They won't top that because they can't focus on what made it good
Sonic 4 looks good but the gameplay is a letdown. Sonic Mainia is the real Sonic 4.
Yall are extremely harsh on sonic 4. I mean, as a game, its enjoyable and reliable, you can play it and feel like it was enjoyable and time well wasted. I mean its no masterpiece ofc, but its a good 6/10. Its like a good nutella sandwich. Easy to prepare, safe, reliable, and still tasty.
Honestly in an ironic twist the "bad reviews" of Sonic games made me learn not to take any reviews of the franchise whether positive or negative seriously. At this point I've learned it's just better to play the games themselves cause if there is another thing I've learned is that neither Sega or the fandom seems to know what it wants in order for a Sonic game to be good.
Frontiers isn't perfect, but I love that there is finally ambition, and I do believe its updates helped.
You're right about Sonic Lost World.
We'll just have to wait until the rest of the world catches up on that one.
SPINDASH INTO THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON RN
7:37 sonic lost world should be at a 70, no more no less. It’s not a bad game but it’s not overwhelmingly good either, in my opinion it’s just solid
And what about Sonic Origins? Critics gave good scores despite the glitches,Sonic 3's music being replaced in some stages and in lesser,the DLC.
It could be the later updates like in Sonic Origins Plus
I don't understand why people care about review scores. Game critics are not experts. Seriously, why do people think having a journalism degree makes you an expert in breaking down and critiquing game design? Critics have proven repeatedly that they really have no special knowledge or expertise, they consistently overlook or outright ignore key design elements, will criticize games for good design and praise them for bad design, etc. etc.
People, gamers in particular, are just insecure and need a source of outside validation they can point to and say "See look! I have good taste because the critics say so!"
the first riders game got done so dirty, the score for that game shouldve at least been in the 80s
metacritic should've just tell us how many people rate the score and remove the total score, Like imagine a scenario where there is a game that have total score of 74 but it has most reviewer giving green score while only few giving red score. Metacritic is already flawed with user score but review score can affect the reception more effectively than it should be just because that damn review score number is big enough to caught everyone attention and not bothering reading the reviews.
How the hell is Sonic 4 above Sonic Frontiers,Colors,Generations,Unleashed and even Adventures
Like what
Gamespot’s review of Sonic Unleashed for 360 and PS3 is honestly one of the most stupid and unfair I’ve ever seen in my life. A 3.5 for Unresponsive controls, bad graphics and a wonky camera, Really? Have you ever actually played the game properly mate?
The SoS
Pocket Champs? More like CHAO RACE!
Honestly, I've never taken reviews' scores for videogames too seriously for any game whatsoever. Even if they dislike Sonic, I don't care that much.
My biggest problem, however, is that a game critic's opinion isn't inconsecuential like the opinion of the average gamer, their sole opinion can elevate or destroy the reputation of a franchise, and this can be seen very clearly with Sonic. I'm the first one to admit Sonic has many BAD games, but there are tons of others that are awesome or at least super enjoyable that get mediocre scores and that deters many from trying them.
Many people outside of the fandom see that even awesome games like Frontiers or Unleashed can't even reach an 8, so of course they don't give Sonic games a chance.
At the end of the day, I get that expressing their opinion is their job, so I can't hate them. It's just a shame that it damages a franchise whose reputation isn't that great to begin with.
How do I get the rewards from using your link?
While the Werehog is controversial and the Homing Attack and Boost Button the same button, I feel the story, cutscenes, and Final Boss Fight are really cool. Unleashed kinda gets unfairly treated by Sonic Fans and Critics in my opinion just because of the Werehog. I just find it funny that they whine about the Werehog Levels being too long and needing you to be skilled to go as fast as possible and only want the Daytime Levels, but then Sonic Forces comes out and all you have to do as Modern Sonic is just hold boost to win and for the entire game he has only like 10 Minutes of Gameplay, and Sonic Fans whine about that. Like what do you want? You can’t be a picky eater. The Classic Games have already done Skill=Speed Reward.
Then again. Like any Fanbase, there’s gonna be people who can never be happy with anything!
I like Sonic 4, but I understand that a lot of people don't
Sonic has been in a similar situation as the anime "Sword Art Online" where it just became a meme to clown on it.
Only reason I hate the review for unleashed is cuz the guy was clearly just not great at the game and didn’t know how to play or what he was doing and easy like “THIS IS BAD GAME DESIGN🤬”
May not be metacritic but are we gonna talk about how IGN gave sonic pocket adventure a 10/10-
