[Sonic Lost World] discussion topic

It looks pretty spammable in that speedrun. Partially because of the leveldesign ofcourse. But I would agree that it's not that big of an issue. Especially coming from the previous 3d games. I'd probably complain alot less if you erased the classics from my memories.

Looks pretty good. Shame it's not multiplatform though. That has probably been brought up a lot though. Luckily I have a 3DS in my house so I can just play that version.

I'd wait until seeing speedruns of other levels before judging it. Like in pretty much every other Sonic game, the first level is always easy to speedrun.

Bought it.

7/10.

7/10? Guess the game sucks. FML.

[Radrappy]

Bought it.

7/10.

What would you have scored Colors, Generations?

[CrazyT]

I hear the game is short. I thought I could wait for reviews but this would be even more of dealbreaker. Could you confirm true or false on that timmit?

It's true, one guy who died a lot seems to have completed it in about 6 hours. A better player probably could do it in under 4 hours (I saw the guy stuck on one level for 30 minutes)

It's about as long as Sonic Colours.

Also, having finished it now, revised score is 6/10.

For comparison, I thought Sonic Colours was a 7.5/10 and Sonic Generations an 8/10.

Yikes.  Well, there's always 2015. 

[CrazyT]

Well that's it for me then, pre order cancelled. I can use that extra money for mario 3d world now so that's at least a plus.

Really sucks hearing the bad reception. It seems Sonicteam may have been playing it safe with previous games for a good reason. They'll never learn

[TimmiT]

By 6/10 I mean that it's a decent game with flaws. It's better to save your money for Mario 3D World though.

[CrazyT]

I was getting mario 3d world anyway but was gonna split the money between me and my bro. Now I don't have to bother him anymore lol. It's all good really. I lost all my care for the franchise since sonic 4 episode 1 although a good sonic game could still get my attention. Not the case for this one it seems

[Aki-at]

I always said Sonic X-treme sucked, now here is the evidence.

What won't they learn? How to implement drastic changes to gameplay?

Personally I think they do, at least the current team. But their problem is they take time to develop the idea. It took them three (Or two if you think Colours is better) to get the boosting gameplay to acceptable standards and I feel the same issue prevails here. The system itself seems fine but the level design is lacking and for a group not known to hit the ground running, trying to put in a complex level design was always going to be a big task.

It was the same for say Naughty Dog, compare Uncharted which is very lackluster, to Uncharted 2*

*Note I am not saying Sonic Team is anywhere in terms of quality to Naughty Dog, just some developers take time to grasp new ideas.

The moment I heard the game is almost half 3D and half 2D in it's platforming, any interest I had in this dissipated.

When will they make a proper 3D Sonic game with actual 3D platforming?
