Can we agree that this is one of the worst sonic games ever?

Planet wisp theme have more soul than the frontiers ones
What happened with this game? It feels like it just showed up and was forgotten about in a 2 day span.
After the hype died down most people seemed to agree thay the game was the definition of mid.
It would have been better for it to have been a complete dumpster fire like 06 rather than a Lost World tier entity. Great boss themes at least.
It is useless to complain on twitter or farm youtube views on something that is mid. It is not polarizing in any way, making it dead in the water for social media.
because it is, in a word, mediocre. It relies on its spectacle when really its just a generic open world game with a very boring story for what its trying to establish in the sonic universe.
Plus sega is doing the thing that nintendo does and releases a half finished game and then patches it to completion, except this time its a mainline game and not some random spinoff like mario party
There's DLC for this? What are they even adding in this?
characters, more islands, story shit. the whole deal
Basically a bunch of small crap that should have been in the game on release to help fill the gap while they work on the story dlc.
>3 fucking seasons
Does SEGA really believe they can stretch out their luck so much? It's no longer the [NEW THING] people don't care anymore
The first two are filler content to keep the game in people's minds as it pops up in sales and the last content will be an hour of story tops.
There's other Sonic stuff planned for this year (e.g. more Prime episodes, Origins Plus, whatever Hardlight is working on, that Knuckles show that was announced and then never talked about), so their plan is to likely drop each content update alongside another piece of Sonic media to keep Frontiers in general awareness, keeping its sales momentum alive.
>an actual finale to the story
I really wish this trend of AAA games releasing in fake early access states stops sometime soon.
Darktide and Halo were totally ruined because of it. Games should really just release when they're ready.
No, I really liked it but I can agree that it peaked at the second island even if I enjoyed the 2D challenges in Chaos Island. I played it recently and after the honeymoon phase was over because holy shit the Wyvern fight was some of the hypest shit I've played in a long time I'd give it a 7 at worst, I had a lot of fun 100%'ing it but by the last island things felt rushed. Also the true final boss was a complete disappointment.
shit taste. Imagine defending this loaded diaper of a game
Nah, it was charmingly jank. Hard to call it objectively good, but fun was had.
The boss music is bangin' though.
>2:02 just as the second half of the fight begins
Wyvern should have been the final boss.
Breath of the Wild killed japanese games.
Now even the japs will just make emoty open world dogshit
Genesis boomers still seething up the ass
Sonic Forces was literally the reason I didn't even buy this game. Sonic Forces was such a let down that I decided to be very critical of the next big title. Not 2 or 3 or 4, BUT 5 GOD DAMN YEARS LATER, we get a game that looks like a game made by 40 year old business people who don't actually understand what a fucking Sonic is. Random floating rails and speed treadmill thingies? Just a pathetic attempt at BOTW like world design (which isn't even good to begin with).
Let's also talk shit about Sonic Forces. Sonic Forces had me thinking Chaos was going to be in the game but instead got bamboozled by the almighty power of clickbait.
Tails became a gay and forgot how to fight. Sonic Unleashed and Generations did the boost formula better than a game 9 to 6 years later!
Fire the SEGA team already and replace them with Sonic Mania developers and talented Sonic Adventure fans. DO NOT HIRE THE FURRY GROUP that SEGA pandered to in Forces!
Literally one of the worst games ever
I don't think it's the worse game ever
But it is the most schizophrenic Sonic game ever.
we can agree to disagree
It's the least replayable sonic game, fun for one playthrough and thats it.
>fun for one playthrough and thats it.
So Sonic has FINALLY made it to be a true, modern gaming experience rivaling that of AAA games. Just like they were hoping for.
>Can we agree that this is one of the worst sonic games ever?
It's not the worst, but it's definitely the most bland. Big shock Frontiers turned out that way when it was apparently focus-tested to hell and back.
It has close to no sense of style whatsoever unless you legitimately like bosses that focus more on spectacle than actual gameplay. Feels like they just dropped Sonic into a slew of maps made for a completely separate IP, then sprinkled a bunch of fan mod-tier platforming sequences all over the place. And it took almost five years to make.
I've seen people call Frontiers a "redemption arc" for Sonic Team, but all I see is them barely keeping their heads above water. They've been at this shit for too long to be making 6/10 games still.
The game sucks because it's yet another boring empty open world game but it's not as bad as the Unleashed - Forces era. When will this stupid empty open world meme end? WHY do people like this crap? "Linear" games feel much more satisfying.
>When will this stupid empty open world meme end?
Never now that you have an entire generation of children who grew up on the open world trend thinking it's the "standard" for videogames.
>more games are going to be empty worlds with an incoherent story told in random parts
Thanks, I hate it
