The nigga is jumping the gun. A couple of glitch gifs appear on the internet and now Boom is worse than 06 because reasons.
After seeing one of the Sonic Boom commercials while babysitting kids, iām absolutely sure they just let it all the glitches slide because theyāre full on targeting the age 6-12 demographic.
Much of those 8 year olds whoās gaming experience consists of tablet games or other games advertised via cartoon network or what not arenāt all going to go on some forum to rant about glitches and what not.
and even if the game gets terrible reception, iām assuming Sega is thinking it wonāt really matter when thereās a shit load of parents would just impulse buy this game without ever caring to see if its a quality game for their kids aside from āoh its a new sonic game, the kids would love this for Christmasā. Or their kids would nag the fuck out of their parents to buy it and parents wonāt give a crap if it turns out to be a bad game.
āA couple of glitch gifsā would imply that theyāre some rare, innocuous oddities, not things like unlimited double jumping, rolling through spike traps unharmed, and passing through walls in multiple areas.
Honestly, the glitches are just the icing on the cake. Even if the game was perfect on a technical level, it would be a completely mediocre platformer at best.
REALLY? Hmmā¦ Oh, wow. In order, my top 3 are Sonic 3, Sonic 2 and Generations.
I was explaining this on a YouTube comment on one of Cobiās vids. It seems like they excel when focusing on ONE gameplay style (i.e. Generations, Colors, the Genesis titles and maybe the Advance series). Every other Sonic game seems to be either mediocre like the Adventure titles and Lost World or just BAD like Sonic Heroes, Unleashed and '06.
Look at Mario. Nothingās changed. Same controls, same plot. Maybe thereās a new cap/suit here and there, but itās the same old thing with a fresh coat of paint each time. People criticize Mario and have been for a while, but his games have been consistently GOOD all these years. Yeah, itās the same old shtick, but with great level design, fun to use power ups and a centered, FOCUSED play style, Mario games always WORK. I just got Super Mario 3D Land for 3DS and Iāve been having a blast. Iāll check out Super Mario 3D WORLD ASAP.
While I commend Sega for trying new things like the Wisps in Sonic Colors, the shudders Werehog, or even what they decided to do with Sonic Boom, too much is too much. Focus on ONE play style like you did a few years back and Sonic can go back to his glory days. 'Til then, I guess beating Sonic 2 for the hundredth time will have to do.
More from DSS during his casual playthrough before he started actively looking for glitches.
Mediocre was the minimum I was expecting. I still want to get my hands on this.
the battered housewife of SRKā¦
Damn I really wanted this game to be good.
During the evolution of mankind, you were the caveman who kept touching the fire.
Yeah man this situation sucks about Sonic Boom yo. But i mean growing up I know that games targeted at me when i was a kid, were pretty shit from a technical standpoint, but when youāre a kid all youāre trying to do play. So you wonāt really flip due to a glitch or complain.
I think Sega can still make a good Sonic, this case just seems like some incomplete shit. Sonic can be fun in 2d and 3d. Boom wouldnāt have been a āsonic gameā in style. But couldāve been a fun 3d adventure/platformer. Like Sonic is always gonna be targeted at kids, but Sega also needs to know that thereās an adult fanbase who stll play these games and donāt tolerate shitty products.
I mean āpokemon is for kidsā but you see that beyong beating the elite 4 thereās lots of shit and a metagame that allows compettiveness which obviously attracts the older crowd. So Sega shouldnāt have thought they could get away with this. But Im legit let down because this was gonna be essentialy a āps2-eraā type platfomer but they failed
Uhhhhh.
I still need to pick up Lost World. Game seems up my alley.
Of course I thought Sonic Adventure was awesome when it came out(was legit mind blown at the time), and I revisted that on the 360 andā¦yeesh. To be fair Segaās games donāt emulate well, unless itās M2 doing it.
Generations was cool and still havenāt played Colors. They do have different developers on the game at any given time, so thatās why the quality is always fluctuating. Itād be nice if this was the wake up cool to stop annualizing Sonic and just make sure that Sonic Team and Sumo are making Sonic games. The real tragedy is this will still outsell all of Segaās better games, that itās not even close.
Jesus almighty, sonic and co take damage for going into knee deep water but can run on it no problem
playing the game and randomly fall through the floor and not to mention invisible boss battles, and no I am not looking for glitches this is a normal play through
no wonder they didnāt give any reviewers any copies, shit looks like a late ps2 early 360 game
just got to shadow and I need a drinkā¦brb
The only bad thing about that comic up there is that its about 10 years too lateā¦we all did that after SA2.
Well, does the game at least have good music? I mean, itās called Sonic Boom after all.
Does Boom manage to make Shadow not suck?
Shadow barely appears at all and from what can be seen of him, nothingās been changed about him.
