Sonic Cycle = broken 2010-11-09 12:31:38


IGN = 8.5/10
Gamesradar = 7/10

And the haters can now suck it. ;)

Too bad Sonic is, and always will be a shit series.

The videos look good and all, I guess I'll buy it in the next couple o' days.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

I don't care if he's "back" or not, I just want to play a good Sonic game for once.


And that's perception.

Play any of the games and realize how terrible they are.

Combination of reviewers to whom Sega paid no money and malcontented fantards who are caught in a vicious cycle.

He was caught in a situation in which all of the talent that made all the early classics left, but he was still too profitable to not get games. Hence, a relatively large number of mediocre at best titles, with only the occasional gem. In contrast, his former rival, Mario, hasn't been this popular since the NES era, with three platforming games on the Wii alone, including the two best rated exclusives this gen.

Never trusted IGN.

Gamesradar = 7/10

Never even heard of Gamesradar. But a 7 is average at best.

And the haters can now suck it. ;)

I wouldn't say haters I'd say just disappointed. As far as reviews go I'm going have to go with the GameTrailers review with a score of 6.4 out of 10.

I've played the first few levels of the game.

I think it's quite fun. It's quite a spectacle.

Everything after Sonic Heroes has and always will be terrible. No matter how much they try to get it right with Sonic 4, the price tag makes it worthless.

Some friend of mine played the leak, confirmed the game was good. a lot of topics in /v/ also confirm this.

This game is good and that's that.

Said the jackass who posted the Sonic Cycle pic in every single thread with Sonic in the title, condemning Sonic as a shit series.

Just because I posted the Sonic Cycle didn't necessarily meant I believed it. I was just paying you people a service by posting it before someone else.

The problem being that both of those websites are retarded.

Who isn't retarded these days? Everybody's too scared to piss off their advertisement money, with the possible exception of Destructoid. And their review system is so different, people hate them for it.

We all listen to reviewers input about video games before buying, that's the main purpose of a reviewer, to help you make a smart decision. However some reviewers just sell out (Game Informer with Game Stop).

We're just bitching about the reviews for Sonic Colors from what I've seen and read (thanks again to narf for introducing me to the world of Metacritic) I actually might pick up.

Actually, after playing a bit more of the game I'm seeing where the negative reviews are coming from.

The actual platforming is kinda floaty and when you're in the 3D parts, it's incredibly difficult to control Sonic. The only way you can really navigate is using the targeting system.

After the spectacle of flying all over the stage like you do wears off, what you're left with is an okay platformer with good graphics (for the Wii), and less than perfect physics. The powers you get don't really add much to the game.

The game's fine, but it's not what I would call 'good'.

You answered your own question. What makes Destructoid's review system so different is that it actually makes fucking sense.

And the difference between whiny fanboys and most reviewers is.....

Yahtzee?

Sure. At least he's an actual critic.

I don't know about "above-par," but these are certainly indicative of what people mean by "so different."

It's not Action Button Dot Net, but it's honest, legitimate criticism that maintains its independence despite being digestible for a mainstream audience. Which to me is pretty admirable.
