    I can't believe people still buy sonic games. Personally I'm not a sonic fan so I don't have a dog in this race, so I'm just talking about stuff I've seen on the internet. At least with pokemon, there's a loud minority complaining about the games getting worse, but a lot of pokemon fans think the games are fine, if not great. Does anyone like sonic games? Who keeps buying them? Like they have to be profitable for the suits to keep making them, right?

        Sonic Mania

        well tbf sonic mania literally just looks like the sega genesis era so I'm not surprised it was acclaimed -- 3D sonic is the problem :angry-hex:

        There's a ton of jank in them and they're definitely not as good as fanboys claim they are, but yeah they're really fun for the most part.

      People oversell how bad the Sonic franchise is as a whole. About 1 in 3 Sonic games are really good (Generations, Mania, Colors), 1/3 have bad parts but are otherwise enjoyable (Unleashed, Adventure 1&2, Black Knight), and 1/3 are terrible throughout ('06, Boom, Lost World).

      I had a dreamcast growing up and it came with that 3D sonic. In the first level, I got suspicious and literally just set the controller down and watched all the little bouncy triggers and booster things guide me to the end of the level.
