    OR
    Good to see it's doing alright. I kinda figured it would, since Generations was never hated and Shadow is the most polished a Sonic game has been in a really long time. I think more than anything polish is what wins over reviewers.
     
  2. I wasn't expecting it to be rated much higher than the original, but IGN gave that one an 8, so I guess a 9 makes sense.

    It's still kind of fucking with my head...

    Sonic Dream Team IGN - 8/10

    Sonic forces, a game that the fandom freaking hated and blew way out of proportion. IGN? 6.9/10

    Sonic colors and colors ultimate. 8.5/10 and 8/10 respectively. IGN.

    Sonic advance. 9.1/10 IgN

    Sonic advance 2 9/10 IGN

    Sonic advance 3 9/10 ign

    the janky piece of crap that is Sonic heroes. 8/10 IGN

    Sonic adventure. The original at least. 8.6/10 IGN

    Sonic adventure 2 9.5/10 ign

    Sonic and all stars racing 8/10 IGN

    sonic rush 9/10 IGN.

    should I freaking go on?

    Can we stop with this darn narrative that IGN is some sort of hivemind, some sort of sworn enemy of Sonic that is eternally fated to be biased against it or some crap, based on one bad review that came out in 2008 from a guy that doesn’t even work there anymore, on a game that is controversial even among the fandom, and a little segment by just a few people who absolutely do not reflect the views of an entire company?

    This stuff was stupid then. It’s stupid now

  6. Its all because of that really bad Unleashed HD review and that one guy who said Sonic was never good, aside from that I think IGN has generally always been pretty fair to Sonic.

    SxS review scores look nice, its basically a double package of 2 polished games that feature the best reviewing 3D gameplay style so it makes sense itd get high scores.

    Crazy to me that Generations is 13 years old now, I still remember lurking Retro back then following along with the pretty optimistic hype that Gens would finally be a great, no-gimmicks-attached Sonic experience while the nostalgia train Sonic Team was riding was still fresh and new. Got a PS3 for Christmas just so I could play this game after loving Colors and Unleashed on Wii/PS2.

    Glad to see it holds up as well with the general public as I feel it does! I haven't watched anything really of Shadow Generations, so I'm excited to play it when it releases with a fresh mind!

    Found out why some publications are knocking off 2 points.

    Lmao, they toned down Rouge even more, and the worst kind of people are pretending to be angry.

    Still, wow, good for team!
    It seems like they delivered.

    Shout out to Sonic Team for putting a lot of effort into making Shadow Generations a strong title on its own when they could have done the bare minimum and still made a healthy profit.

    I could see this game easily surpassing Frontiers lifetime sales, especially after movie 3 comes out. Feels good to be a Sonic Fan right now.

    Hey, at least weirdly covered back in that cutscene ended up being a model/animation error rather than act of censorship

    All I can say is that if anyone angry was getting anything out of Rouge's character and design, they weren't getting it from the official material (or at least most of it).

    Call me insane but I think it’s probably good to make sure degenerates like that aren’t catered to.

    I'm not looking forward to all the "anti-woke" rage bait youtube shitheads latching onto this. Ah well.

    Nah, degenerates don't care about bat tits at all. They're too busy babysitting Cream instead. :flunked:
     
  18. The joke here is that Rouge's design has been censored for years. Her proportions are way less exaggerated nowadays than in SA2.

    Most of the people complaining are trying to start controversies and outrage bait online. Typical trolling and grifting. Hell a lot of them NEVER discussed Sonic before.
    Some other who have been around for a while however, have other controversies attached to them.
    Eitherway, on principle maybe I am against these decisions, mostly because they were unnecessary, and feels like they're for ratings rather than "the woke agenda".
    But being angry is ridiculous. Rouge the bat's curviness is not essential to anyone's experience.

    SA2 rouge alternate outfit is single-handedly the reason I don’t play the 2 player mode with my younger cousins.

    I mean, NO! How could they do this? How could they nerf Rouge this hard? This is an outrage! They’re not only disrespecting the original intent of Rouge’s character for their own agenda, but they are removing her depth. You see, Rouge’s chest was symbolism of the constant struggle we all face day to day to…

    I….

    I’m not smart enough to be able to continue this joke. Someone else take over. If it wasn’t clear, I do not care at all either way.

    And why should I? Rouge is so low tier. She’s not even the size of an average human mother.
