>Fucking EUROGAMER is praising Sonic Racing: Crossworlds..
I think Crossworlds might actually end up being better than Mario Kart World.

just what sonic fans have been waiting for

>>712522583 (OP)
No question. I like the 3 lap tracks on World but they emphasize the straight line tracks so much that it ruins the whole game

The game sounds cool but it doesn't justify my retarded $500 purchase therefore it's actually bad

>>712522667
Open world ruined Mario Kart.
I'm so glad Crossworlds just focused on making a great racing game without gimmicks that mess up the whole game.

>>712522583 (OP)
That's not really an accomplishment...

Mario Kart 8 is still better then both.

>>712522667
>>712522834
>Mario relying on gimmicks
>meanwhile Sonic is just focusing on making a good game
How the tables have turned.

>>712523063
The base gameplay of mkw is already very polished. Relying on gimmicks is basically the only thing they can still do.

>>712523368
Yeah, they just forgot to make the game fun like the previous Mario Karts.

>>712523063
Mario games were always gimmicky and Sonic the same shit with a few exceptions

>>712523770
>Mario games were always gimmicky
Changing a few power ups doesn't make your game gimmicky.
If you've played one SMB, you've played them all.

>>712523846
>little round planets game
>stealing abilities with the hat
>drawing shit on screen
>super soaker mario
the most gimmicky Sonic game I can think of is Heroes

Will sonic go back to being cool again?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbGrLId1_oI

After seeing this I can say this, I'll destroy /v/ in this game, you all bettered get used to seeing 2nd place and below when I'm in the lobby and get used to a diet of dust trails

>>712523368
Except they allowed the gimmicks to ruin the whole experience while also removing features that MK8D had.

>>712523770
>Sonic the same shit with a few exceptions
Meds one of the biggest complaints about Sonic throughout the years was a lack of direction because they kept changing their formula so often.

>No interaction with collab characters.
Already trash. They cheaped out.

>>712524616
Tom Kenny ain't cheap. Animation/Movie VAs are significantly more expensive than vidya VAs.

>>712524948
It's not that, it's that to have that interaction you have to have a shitload of meetings with the owners and go over damn near every single line of dialogue and interaction with a fine toothed comb wait eons for it to get approved and then impliment it not to mention all the SAG stuff going on in the voice acting industry at the moment thanks to the war between corporations and unions over Ai voice acting and greedy unions trying to force everything to be union only to strong arm independent VAs from getting jobs at all

It's a fucked up situation especially given these are western properties so they can't just use their japanese VAs and have them talk in only those, as for Miku's case it's likely because they don't want the blowback for using Ai voicing in this game for her even through Sega owns Miku and has had her interact with Sonic over decades, I'll be shocked if they don't put that Vtuber in whose always collabing with Sonic

>>712524460
Mogs mario kart world

>>712522583 (OP)
It will be much better and look significantly better but Sega doesn't have journos in their pockets like Nintendo.

>>712522583 (OP)
>I used to have a kart racer...and a franchise that wasn't dead

>>712525386
Sounds like Crossworld will get good reviews based on merit then unlike Mario. Eurogame rated Sonic x Shadow Generations a 60.
Judging from this preview they might give it an 80 or even a 90.

Sonic fans are the most pathetic creatures in the gaming world.
The therm "cucked" is overused but no other fanbase has been cucked so hard and so long than these faggots.
Sonic had "beef" with Mario over 30 years ago! You can argue who had better games on SNES or Genesis but since than
every
single
game
where SOnic is mentioned was far worse than anything Nintendo made.
Sonics Jump to 3D? A disaster
Marios jump to 3D? Gamings legends

Sonic 2D after Geneiss? Brutally bad, cringe and shit
mario 2D after SNES? From good to masterpieces

Yet after 3 decades fucking Sonicautists refuse to drop the ball. Fags you and your blue hedghog lost. Its over Its over since 1996 when Super Mario 64 released.
It was over again when Sonic 06 was released.
Stop comparing these two its like comparing a Ferrari to a 30 old beat down Tata mobile that was used by an Indian asa aTAxi

>>712525558
>mariofag feeling insecure
Shouldn't you be playing your intermission tracks to justify your purchase to yourself?

>>712525395
You know, I'd be ok with that if we'd had CTR on PC.

It still makes me furious that a game that sold 6+ millions unit has no PC version.

Is it actually the only console game that activision didn't bother releasing on pc in recent years?

>>712525395
Maybe if Cuckivision would RELEASE IT ON PC ALREADY FUCK

>>712526469
No because I play games to have fun.

>>712524207
He's almost there - has solid media presence at the moment, just needs consistently decent games now.

>>712526991
Don't forget Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World.
There's very few mainline Sonic games that you can say are similar to one another. The three Adventure games are close, but everything else is way too different.

>>712522583 (OP)
They're not the only journo to state this. We might be in trouble mario bros

>yarkoozer
game looks like total dogshit ass

>>712522667
Shame I bet nuSonc racing will keep removing features the old games like being able to have more than 3 turns or being able to have more than 1 fucking music

>>712525395

I still remember you and your Team Racing, Crash. You had a good game.

>>712527928
>Ahhhh why is the kart racer that thrives on chaos letting me get first easily with my items on the most simple course in the game? AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH I'M GOING INSANE!

>>712525820
CTR is on PC with online, custom characters, custom maps, 60 FPS, much better loading times, no broken item, no glitches, no bugs, no gacha shit or cash shop or always online bullshit, no progress bar battle pass FOMO and it doesn't look like fucking clay.
Only people that actually hate CTR would want to play that godawful remake.

>>712528907
NF has new tracks, velo trials & dev trials, and ring rally. that's enough for me

>>712528882
Except they made bagging even more OP than it was in MK8D.
Do this "strat" and you will make it into at least top 8 every single race. Its fucking stupid.

I hope it's the case because having Sonic fan mocking the shit out of mario fan would be funny to see

>>712529721
Play a course that is not baby park.

>>712522583 (OP)
We won
>>712528656
Crossworlds has all the features of Sega Allstars Racing, Team Sonic Racing and more. There's even an optional team mode in Crossworlds.
Unlike Nintendo they didn't make an incomplete game.

>>712530576
I just need tricks to be failable. They weren't in the beta test.

>>712530576
>Crossworlds has all the features of Sega Allstars Racing,
yea I'm going to need a demo to confirm that, each game have been worse than the one before.
At least the split screen campaign is always nice to have.

>>712531076
I thought Transformed > OG ASR

>>712531163
OG had better graphics, more vehicle variety, more character variety, more all star variety, allowed more than 3 laps, let you pick the music for the race, had more varied mini game, racing tracks didn't have shit boat and plan sections added in them for no reason. Also no meme character like Smash it Sam.

>>712522583 (OP)
its a-joever

>>712524616
>collab characters
I couldn’t say no any faster

>>712531681
yeah but transformed had better gameplay overall so your nipticks are pointless

>>712522583 (OP)
I like MKW and Crossworlds looks cool but Air Riders is gonna BTFO of both so who cares?

>>712522583 (OP)
>giving a shit about what gaming journalist outlets say either for or against shit
lol
lmao
I know anything new and Sonic-related brings in retarded newfags but come on

>>712532194
no it's not nigga sakurai makes games for babies who shit their diapers at the word "competitive" there will be no player agency whatsoever

>>712530790
Considering how high skill this game is and the fact that you can lose rings by hitting the side of the track and hazards I don't think they're gonna make tricks failable as much as I would like them to.

>>712522583 (OP)
Thanks for the heads-up OP, looking forward to playing it on my Switch 2.

>>712526923
>Cups are barely determined by skill
Found the shitter who can't 3 star 150/mirror cup go and knockout tour

>>712532194

found the smelee

>>712532271
Why the fuck do you think someone that likes Kirby Air Ride would give a fuck about a """""competitive"""""" kart racer???

>>712522583 (OP)
I read this as sonic crossdressing. That game would do numbers.

>>712531681
>OG had better graphics
Better lighting, but everything looked plastic.
>more vehicle variety
Yes.
>more character variety
Kinda?
>more all star variety
Yes.
>allowed more than 3 laps
Yes.
>let you pick the music for the race
Yes.
>had more varied mini game
Who in the world cares?
>racing tracks didn't have shit boat and plan sections added in them for no reason
Track quality is way better so I don't agree here.
>Also no meme character like Smash it Sam.
Its been years but I thought you could mod them out.

>>712532478
Sonic did work at a maid cafe and promoted hooters that one time, so it's more likely then you'd think.

>>712532539
I love a lot of tracks in Transformed but the boats should get the fuck out of After Burner and Outrun.

So what's so mechanically rich about Crossworlds? Didn't play the demo.

they really need to reduce the character chatter, good lord
too much noise

How's the speed looking? Any chance you'll be able to go Wipeout fast?

Sonicfags are getting too cocky, can't wait for the reality check when the game releases and gets forgotten in a week.

>>712532728
you can see it here >>712524460
I dunno if that's the fastest mode, but apparently it has mario kart cc-style equivalents

I loved all stars racing so I'm looking forward to this. Haven't got really into a cart racer since.
Also I want to fuck NiGHTS.

>>712532806
the fastest mode is unlocked after beating all the cups + you get super sonic
there has been no footage of it yet

>>712532806
That's why I'm asking, I loved SASRT and that game had different speed modes. Just hoping there's already footage of it.

>>712522583 (OP)
lol that will never be true since ring racers is a thing but if eurogamer of all people are giving props to crossworld then it might be actually decent

Eurogamer fucking HATES Nintendo, this isn't surprising

>>712524460
man crossworld just looks swaggy

>>712532194
>Sakurai game
No its not.

>>712532359
More like Switch Poo

>>712532747
You sound scared. Go bag some more in MKW online to calm your nerves.

>>712533821
An incredible cope that only a Smashfag could acquire

It's a shame everyone is tribalfagging this. It's an incredible year to be a kart racer fan.
>MKW
>Air Riders
>Crossworlds
Great fucking times.

>>712532461
KINO!

>>712534518
Its partially because supporting MKW is inherently political cus game prices.

>>712534562
I'd bet over 90% of the people that have it right now paid $50 or less for it.

troonic sloppers are so pathetic

>>712532626
Sure, some track should have dropped a form, but I think overall track quality made up for it. Afterburner has the second best boat section in the game imo.

>>712534627
I can smell your fear tendie.

>>712534013
Scared of what? Sonic? Lmao

good to know

>>712534797
Cope

>>712534727
Honestly CTR and DKR did it fine, just have the level hub there that connects for atmosphere, I don’t need a massive open world with nothing in it, this isn’t GTA

>>712522583 (OP)
they're paid to do that. Also they're literally owned by the same company as Ign.

>>712535023
CTR's open world sucks what the fuck are you talking about

>>712535020
>c-c-cope
>*braaaapppps diaper*

>>712535289
Because it’s not an open world it’s a level hub which is fine

>shitty gay hub with nothing to do is BAD!
>shitty BIG gay hub with nothing to do is GOOD!
lmao

>>712522583 (OP)
that's not hard.
all it has to do is not be open world and allow you to actually race 3 laps on the track you selected.
Front running is viable in sonic racing games too so yeah.. MKW is probably fucked.

The fact that there is a containment board for butthurt pirate tendies every time there is a new game proves this point.

>>712525395
>BOOOOHOOOO Crash lost it's so unfair!! My remakes!!!
good riddance

>>712524207
No because the core fanbase is too cringe and autistic

>>712535579
they deserve their fate for not giving Pasadena O' Based more skins.

>>712534562
It's not like Crossworlds is dirt cheap, even the base version is 70 bucks.
MKW is actually cheaper in the console bundle.

cant wait for all the 3rd party racers so i can play it without actually having to look at a sonic character

>>712535490
>MKW is probably fucked.
In terms of quality yes but MKW will still sell well and Nintendo will learn nothing leading to further stagnation in Nintendo's IPs.

>>712535498
All-Stars Racing Transformed featuring Danica Patrick is unironically better than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

>>712536247
>leading to further stagnation in Nintendo's IPs
for those uninitiated this is codeword for people over age 24 malding over children's games

>>712523063
>focusing
Right, focusing. Doesn't meant that it'll be a good one.

>>712522583 (OP)
Transformed was better than 8 (Beofre the DLC) so its not surprising

>>712522583 (OP)
Don't they have the arcade sega racing team working on this? That was kind of interesting till I looked at the game at it reminded me of some ancient racing game from 30 years ago.

>>712536873
Delusional.

>>712532194
>slop sequel to a flop made by a hack nobody cares about anymore
lol, lmao even

>>712534518

I'm not tribalfagging, Crossworlds just wasn't very fun in beta and I doubt they changed much. But I might be biased because SART is probably my favorite kart racer and any Sonic racer that isn't just a remaster of that will never impress me.

>>712522583 (OP)
cool can't wait to play it on my switch 2

I want Crossworlds more just because I think the track designs look far more interesting and they do more with the flight and water sections than the straight line shit in MKW

>>712522583 (OP)
I could care less if it's better than MKW or not, we got some nice kart games coming up so it's just going to be a really fun time with them this year in general.

>>712537427
Good thing the game is crossplay

>>712535918
You have to buy a whole console

>>712523770
Mainline sonic games constantly reinvent the wheel for no reason. I think the only two 3D sonics that are iterate in any capacity are SA1 and 2.

>>712535579
Still waiting on ShadPS4 to emulate this so it's not just a bloodborne emulator.

>>712522583 (OP)
I think kart racing games are fucking gay but the sega racing team being involved has my attention. It this an actual racing game or is it a mariokart clone like the other shitty sonic kart racers?

Also does it have wheel support? The racing game devs at sega seem to love wheels

>>712538254
The game is already on yuzu since ages

>>712537991
Anon we've been stuck in the boost era for years now.

>>712537991
>I think the only two 3D sonics that are iterate in any capacity are SA1 and 2.
I'm also approaching my 30's. How do you think I should kms?

Sonic Rush is better than every 2D Mario game combined

>>712524460
What do the rings do

>kart racer
What in the Christ fuck does this even mean and why are there fifty-thousand pronouns for genres now? It's just a fucking racing game. Mary Mother of Joseph I am checked the fuck out.

>>712538504
I'm not playing that ugly downgraded shit.
I want the real graphics.

>>712538867
damn nigger it's not that hard to distinguish Mario Kart and Crash Racing from Forza and F1 shit.

>>712522834
The wall riding and rail gimmicks are cool. drifting got nerfed into the ground though which helps the new mechanics have relevance in some courses but in the ones that don't have it theres a lot of just driving without drifting which isn't fun

>>712538507
Yeah but the boost games play pretty differently from one another.

>>712538965
Exactly, so why the fuck do we need a label for it?

>>712538867
Kart racer is a very specific style of racing game with item powerups and shit.

>>712538854
Rings increase your overall speed

>>712522583 (OP)
but can it top Sonic R in soul?

>>712539153
Need For Speed Underground is my favorite kart racer, no doubt

SEGA fucked up revealing the game too early or not releasing the game sooner (whichever way you look at it). The "Let's prop up to fight of le bad Nintendo" will be over by the time that September rolls around. The Switch 2 will become a universal praised system by September too (already seeing people backtracking or claiming that they were never mad all along). Not to mention that Nintendo will definitely between this game Prime 4, Air Ride, and Pokémon Z-A (Sonic games sell the most on Nintendo platforms.) Had Sonic Crossworlds released a few weeks before the Switch 2 or like in the next few weeks, then anti-Nintendo fags may have gaslit themselves into fully supporting the game and artificially make it a critical and commercial success.

>>712541337
>"Let's prop Sonic up to fight off le bad nintendo"
ftfm <3

>>712539034
The wallriding and rail grinding would be cool if it wasn't slower than racing normally 90% of the time.

>>712539640
No.

>>712541337
Actually releasing the game after MKW is good. Especially since the MKW honey moon phase is almost over.

so does anyone know if you need to get the season pass to get the extra tracks coming into the game we know minecraft/tmnt/spongebob are all getting tracks but will the sega reps get their own tracks as well

>>712524460
Can't see shit when there's the acceleration

>Actually releasing the game after MKW is good. Especially since the MKW honey moon phase is almost over.
Not all the way through the end of September, though. July would have the sweet spot, August would be cutting it way too close. Unless SEGA can genuinely deliver a real 85-90+ game, which I really do hope that they can (not astroturfed by reviewers who hate Nintendo and people like Fadel), I don't see this game doing anything but getting eaten alive by MKW, Kirby Air Ride, Prime 4, and Pokémon.
>>712541743
>There's more and more dislike for Mario Kart World and the Switch 2 every day anon.
Go outside, there is none. Switch 2 is getting more and more love every day now that fags aren't obligated to pretend to be offended that the cheapest console on the market (outside the Series S) is too expensive in fair of getting trampled to death.

>>712542058

Because not only is it riding off the honeymoon phrase running out, but also using it's crossover announcements to it's advantage. Gamescom in august will be another refresher in the public conscious that the game exists and will definitely show another announcement. Combine that with the MKW burnout hitting around the 3 month mark, they've got a solid gameplan

The more you faggots try to spin Crossworlds as the Mario kart killer, the more you're setting it up to fail.
Did you leaen nothing from all the Smash killers?

>>712522583 (OP)
>I think Crossworlds might actually end up being better than Mario Kart World.
Not saying much to be desu

This hasn't meant anything in the past 10 years except that Sega's check cleared.

>>712525395

>>712544701
please understand, the teenage newfags in the thread care quite a lot about gaming journalist opinions/their favorite literally who

>>712538947
The difference is barely noticeable, especially when going fast.

>>712539098
Because there's a noticeable distinction between them?

>>712545106
Does anyone still take about the PC port of the first 3 remake? Or the PC decomp of CTR? No? That's right Port Cucks only care because they don't have it, the instant it gets a port is the instant they'll forget it exist.

>>712526923
Nigga you bought Mario Kart, a party game for children, not a racing sim

>>712525395
>STILL NO PC PORT
I don't care.

>>712540186
It's not frame perfect. In mk8, you had about 4 frames to do it and in mk world it's even easier.

>>712524460
This looks like the map layouts I see in Mario Kart World. You people are such disingenuous faggots.

>>712548352
>>712540186
And it's not a glitch, the blue shell has "dodge frames" which is why you can dodge the blue shell with a mushroom and not other hazards.

>>712536984
Nah.

>>712547870
>Does anyone still take about the PC port of the first 3 remake?
Yes? Off and on, but I do still see discussions about it on /v/.
>Or the PC decomp of CTR?
It isn't even finished yet. I'll definitely talk about it once it's done.

Bros... i'm actually scared right now?

>>712549734
DizzyLizzy is right, even if they are probably an ESL.

It looks.better than MK Worlds..
8 Deluxe fan here

>>712541515
When it's good, it's really fucking good, but I get it. I don't envy the people designing Mario Kart, because they have to skirt the line of being so casual your grandma could win a couple races and being skill based enough that the better player usually wins. In the end World pushes both extremes a bit by giving you ridiculous shortcuts at certain segments but also increasing the chaos. They don't want to have a mechanic you're always doing at every opportunity, which is why charge jumping isn't something you spam on straightaways. The idea that everything has a purpose, even just driving straight has a purpose and you have to recognize when it's a good idea to go for the crazy shit and when to play normally. It doesn't always work out though especially in the tamer straighaways where there's no obstacles like traffic. You end up with ridiculous extremes like the train course you're actually taking advantage of every single mechanic, then Rosalina's course which is boring as fuck.

I'm not a fan of how its animated, makes the game look weightless.

You could always dodge a blue shell with a shroom. It's just so much easier in World that you see it all the time.

>>712522583 (OP)
After playing MK Wii and getting good at it I can't enjoy any new Mario kart. MK8 felt insulting to play especially.

Journos are coping hard because they desperately need a win since Nintendo blew all their backs out with the most successful launch of any console ever, they're boosting this but it'll be a meh release and they'll quietly shove it under the rug.

>>712541515
it really depends on the track, but I agree it fucking sucks when there's a bunch of stuff to interact with but driving straight is the fastest option. if it a rail or wall ride on a turn then its is the fastest option though

>>712532461
This is the second time I've seen an anon post this trick but every single time I've tried to replicate it I either never get the tools to make the attempt or get struck by lightning and lost the tools I was holding to try it before I can take 1st place. At the end of the day people can post cool tricks like this all the time, while its cool to see other ways to avoid the blue shell other than just breaking or the horn, but all of these tricks are still beholden to specific item drops you need to be lucky to get, and need to be lucky enough to actually get the chance to use them against a blue shell before you either get a red shell tossed at you, or lightning struck randomly losing all of your items, or a random boo coming in to steal your held tools before you get the chance to use them.

These tricks are cool, I'd love to try them, but the fact remains there are so many random variables operating in the background outside of the player's control that these tricks don't absolve the issue when it's still RNG that you'll even get the chance to actually use them no matter how much you try to meta-game the process to better control your luck.

>>712522583 (OP)
It legit looks more fun than World, like a proper sequel to Sonic Racing Transformed

Didnt knew Sonic was so popular among kids of this generation. Guess sega is doing a good job?

>>712559196
Sega is HUGE with gen alpha. My little nephew is arguably more obsessed with sonic than he is mario. It's mostly due to sonics prevalence in secondary media. The 3 movies sold like crazy, with kids shows like prime and boom as well.

>>712559518
I'm sure even at the time people knew Team Sonic Racing wasnt going to be as good as Racing Transformed

No one ever said any of this, literally never. You couldn't even find one person who unironically said any of this even if you tried.

>>712560703
Nta but I do remember people comparing Forces and Odyssey a lot and I'm sure there were people saying the former would be better.

>>712559957
TSR was blown the fuck out by CTR:NF which also btf out of mk8d too honestly. if they released a new CTR that was basically more NF with better loadtimes I would probably just ignore mkw and sonic.

>>712527928
Holy Kek

Transformed was better than any Mario Kart, so not a big surprise.

>>712561697
I was hoping CTR would get a boost on the Switch 2, but from what I've heard the game is locked at 30 fps on all systems, which is fucking retarded.

Death to journalists.

>>712566289
not sure what to think of it then, it might work

Reminder one of the leakers hinted at something Black Knight being in the game before they were assassinated by Sega Shinobis.

>>712566471
You're right. As a long time Sonic fan, this game isn't for me.

>>712524460
looks exactly like mario kart but with nothing happening, just driving forward

>>712566421
I'm fully expecting something Initial D to be slided somewhere in this game since it's being worked on be the Initial D Arcade devs.

Hey that's cool and all but can I get a Sonic racing game where you run since Sonic characters all run fast including Eggman?

>>712527928

Ah yes, Sonic riding a hoverboard. Totally different. Not at all a hat on a hat like Sonic driving a car.

>>712567447
I'm glad you're satisfied with your hoverboard. Personally I'd like to see the Sonic do what makes him Sonic, and for Sega to stop being pussies about making a real Sonic racer just because a shit developer tried and failed roughly thirty years ago.

Can we just go back a general Sega all-stars racing game?

Just the fact that Sonic will be an arcade-style racer made by Initial D devs compared to Mario being open world slop is more then enough to sell me on CrossWorlds that matter.

And you know, one’s got SpongeBob, Yakuza etc and the other has a dumb reddit cow.

>>712568891
That's what this is

>>712569346
No it fucking isn't.

>>712527928
So what's the excuse for this

Still bit too much straight roads. Kart racing needs to have corners and curves.

Literally whomstdvdeve? (hypothetical question, nobody cares)

>>712572391
Half of KW’s roster is babyslop picks and generic background, Mario does the bare minimum, there’s no Diddy, Dixie, Funky, King K Rool, Fawful, Geno, E.Gadd, Captain Syrup etc.

I agree that Sonic doesn’t bother to expand on its own series either but the last time SEGA tried to do a Sonic only racer, it bombed and was dead on arrival, they might as well steal the opportunity for a crossover racer with various SEGA IPs like in the past because Nintendo never bothered to despite some fans begging for a Smash/Nintendo Kart.

>>712574514
NTA but I'll answer anyway. She's, Surge the most popular IDW character by a mile.

>>712574239
We have no real proof whisper is in, just a board styled like her.

>>712574630
Tangle and Whisper are already leaked to be in.
And Surge is too popular to not include, also Kit will be there cus they're a package deal.
Also Surge & Kit are getting official merch at Comic Con.

>>712573018
I have played both and transformed is definitely worse than 8dx.

So you don't even know, I'll tell you because I was actually alive back then. Forces was shat on ever since the first 5 seconds of gameplay footage was shown and it got mogged hard by Mania. Forcesfags were too busy trying to cope with a fan game outclassing the next big 3D entry to be worried about Mario.

That's a low bar then because your jump physics feel really stiff and unresponsive, you lose all speed when you release the left stick, jumping into enemies feels awful, using the homing attack feels really bad and interacting with all the platforming gimmicks is unfun.
>multiple enemy varieties with different defense= multiple ways to attack
not really. you just hold the parry and then spam the stomp attack
>When does it do that?
when you enter the ""obstacle"" courses scattered all across the islands and in the cyberspace levels
>The super sonic boss fights are more engaging than previous bosses simply because you don't fly to point a to point b and automatically deal damge
That's a low bar. Most action games have better bosses than this

that's another weak excuse for the ripped stages
>pinball was fun
it was mediocre i guess? it still doesn't excuse all the other minigames that waste your time
>obviously you would dislike puzzles if it takes you a long time to figure it out
I dislike them because they are braindead easy, low quality and because they don't fit Sonic
>Sonic has had puzzles in its gameplay since 1
pushing blocks in Marble Zone was not a puzzle. There was nothing to solve.

we won

>>712573328
Expect it in the Cyperspace stages in Frontiers 2. Radical Highway being easier to justify re-using assets from is why I think we got that in Shadow Generations but no Black Comet.
