The reactions here are so much different from NeoGaf. It's almost like a breath of fresh air to see people here willing to give the game a fair chance and be so positve about it.
Somebody should make an image with this and post it there. NeoGAF's opinion on...
New Mario game: innovative, genius, ground breaking, excellent, I can't wait.
New Sonic game: (after a three second trailer) the lighting in the background is way off, Sonic Cycle, it's going to suck, lol Sega, Sega is dead.
There will never be a universally acclaimed Sonic game again. It can be the best game ever, but thanks to people like this and places like Kotaku and IGN, it will never happen. It sucks because it's Sega. Oh my god, they cut content I'll spend 5 minutes with!!! NO BUY
If Sega had a hype machine they'd have a much better image. When I played Call of Duty 4 I was like "Is this it?". However, it was acclaimed everywhere and called game of the year and ...yawn. It's a good game but there are better games. Battlefield BC says hello.
