Sonic Generations: surprisingly good.
« on: November 28, 2011, 02:11:36 PM »
 Seriously, this is the first console Sonic game I managed to enjoy in years. Ever since Sonic Adventure.

 It's not perfect of course, and very very short, but still well worth it. for an idea: I beat the game and am now replaying it! for fun! You know how long has it been since I played a game without caring to advance plot, just to have fun with it? a long, long time.

Also good Lord, the OST is AMAZING

It's alright, the story however, is crap.

The OST though is indeed, amazing.

Interesting.  I do have a soft spot for sonic.

It's hardly my spending priority right now though, I have so little money :p

I've heard "surprisingly good" used to describe fairly awful Sonic games for years. The bar is excruciatingly low now. That poor series and its fans have been dragged through the mud that any game that's remotely playable gets disproportionate praise for its quality... at least, at first.

Looked decent in the gameplay videos I saw, haven't had the chance to play it though.

I think all modern Sonic games are ****ing ****. However, this one has really caught my eye!

Pfft who CARES about the plot.

Mario has no plot FOR YEARS and NOBODY COMPLAINS.

Except GameFAQs people but they'd complain if a bag of gold came with every game.

Meh. I don't care about the music. I'm half deaf anyway.

Gameplay is what I need. It seems alright, but my PC can't get any close to running this so it won't really matter.

Weren't you colorblind as well?

Well, rent it first then. At least give it a try. For this puppy.

Hey, if they can afford to give money away like that, they could at least stop charging me $60 for a god damn game. That, and they could have used the money to make the game better, instead of trying to bribe me for higher review scores.

Sonic tries to have a crappy plot every game.

I heard it was slightly disappointing. That the 2d parts were great but 3d was terrible.

Seriously. Is it just economically impossible to make a good 2D game anymore? Cuz those were pretty rad.

I've heard that the entire game is like a picture o the entire series.
Awesome at the start, but then it just devolves into awful.
