But it wasn't developed by Sega, therefore it doesn't count as a bad Sonic game.
Or whatever it was people desperately defending that game were saying.

I like the Sonic Boom show, it's cute and funny, but he can be a lot more than that. I know I'm partially blinded by my love of the Archie Comics canon, but Sonic as strictly a comedic character who just jumps on Eggman's head a lot kinda wastes his potential. He works best as mostly an adventure character who's occasionally funny.
That's why I never agreed with SEGA's "Sonic shouldn't break down" mandate. A little drama allows him to be more relatable.

It's a shame the game sucks, because I quite like the show.

I agree. Doing 20 damage every time you use it is pretty bad except in the early stages of the game.
We're totally talking Pokemon, right?

I thought it meant someone else reminded that Dragon Force is a thing and should totally be the 2nd most famous franchise of all time and we were talking about the first special attack of the King Of Highland, Wein.

Sega need to make/Publish more games with their forgotten properties (Forgotten By them)
- Golden Axe - would make a cool DMC/GOW esque game, Or 2.3D sidescrolling game (Ignore beast rider) - Phantasy Star - Shining Force - Shinobi - Vanquish - Eternal Champions - Fantastic story & Characters/Settings - Jet Set Radio - Crazy Taxi - Panzer Dragoon - Shenmue - Skies of Arcadia - Space Channel 5 - Streets of Rage - Wonder Boy
Seriously SEGA are sitting on some amazing franchises, Hell some could be digital download games.

I remember reading a review someone wrote that called Golden Axe Beast Rider one of the best action games ever made and that it defined a new standard of excellence or something.
I'm pretty sure he was a coke addict.

Which makes it less of a sales flop and more of a fiasco. As well as a critical flop. Haven't even tried the 3DS demo, but the game looks like garbage and only helps in denegrating Sonic to one of those "flash in the pan" characters who had a period of glory, but has fallen on hard times and refuses to take a time out. The sad part is that Sega feels so obligated to change everything up every time that when you stumble upon something that, I don't know, works, it will never be used again. Staleness is one of the worst sins of gaming, but indecision is close to that. I'd make a joke about them not giving in and doing a shooter... except, they did that.

Hey, not many bands put out their best work 35 years after their first album!
Wait, we're not talking about the Kiss record?

Sega infuriate me, they had a good thing in "Generations", fair enough it wasn't amazing but it had a good foundation to build on and all they had to do was create new levels (revamp old ones) in the sequels. Same with "Unleashed" I thought the Daytime segments were Decent and if they hadn't had the damn werehog crap and tightened up the daytime segments then it would have been great. Gimmicks killed the sonic franchise, KEEP IT SIMPLE That's one thing about video games that's truly fascinating. If you have good gameplay and good software, you don't need to be very creative with how things are made. You can just rehash the same basic material over and over again with improved graphics, music and UI and there's not much else that needs doing. They don't reinvent the wheel with CoD. It's by no means one of my favorite series, but it's sold extremely well because there's a certain formula that works and it hasn't been tinkered with. Most RPGs use stock characters and have stock storylines, but the quality of the writing and the gameplay of the big name RPGs has let those flourish as top-tier franchises. Which is funny when you think about it because Square suddenly became inept with marketting and developing their games. They kept trying to retool gameplay that noone was particularly complaining about and pretty much washed their hands of localizing Dragon Quest Games (arguably the most traditional of JRPGs), even though demand was starting to increase for them in the West.

I've been saying this for ages. It annoys the crap out of me that they keep making shitty Sonic games, instead of a Skies of Arcadia sequel, or a new Valkyria Chronicles (that will actually be released in the West).

I've only seen bits of the show and it looks alright. Nothing amazing but it's far from bad.
