I Don't Think Sonic Lost World Should Get So Much Hate

Posted

I really don't get all the hate that the game is getting (Okay, I can understand the hate on the 3DS version but not the Wii U version). Just because it isn't fast doesn't mean it's, in any way, terrible. Now I know that Sonic games are meant to have fast paced gameplay but I honestly don't see what's so wrong with trying be innovative with the franchise. People say that the game is a "Super Mario galaxy rip-off" just because of the anti gravity stuff but a lot of fans are forgetting that this idea was originally going to be in the now cancelled Sonic Extreme. And people who say that the game is not fast must really not know that you can just hold on to ZR and make sonic spin dash all the way to the goal. If you do that than the levels will feel like they're fast paced. Heck, Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 weren't all about speed yet they get so much praise. Why is it that when Nintendo tries to be innovative they get a free pass but when SEGA tries it with the Sonic games it's such a bad thing? The thing I love about Lost World is the fact that you can take alternate routes to get to the goal. The only 3 things I hate about Lost World is that the bosses were ridiculously easy, the game felt too short, and that SEGA tries a bit too hard to make the series go a humorous route (which is what they're currently doing with Sonic Boom). other than that, I can't really complain about anything else. Sonic Lost World may not be my favorite game in the Sonic series but I honestly don't think it deserves all the hate it gets.  People really seem to treat it like it's as bad as 06.

I didn't even know people didn't like it that much. All of the reviews I've seen for it have been usually 8/10 (For the Wii U Version)

I loved the game for Wii U, Pretty fun.

You should read all the YouTube comments. A lot of comments really talk about how it's bad all because it isn't fast and whatnot. And you should really see IGN and GameSpot's review of the game. They both gave it a low score because it wasn't fast  Which is kinda ironic.

Well, that's kinda silly. I mean, sure, Sonic is known for speed, but what's wrong with trying something new every now and then? People need to look at the game as a single title, not as part of a series. The problem is they compare something to a previous title, and expect more of the same. Nope, that's why it's a NEW title.

The game is really fun, though I was the 25% of people who said its just Super Mario Galaxy X Sonic Colours.

The gameplay was very fun, and the controls were surprising tight. Thought I would fall off the stages a lot. The only thing that frustrates me is how it's complicated getting S rank but that's just it... Oh as the VA's ALWAYS the va's...

 

But I still do miss the Unleashed Gameplay, now that was AWESOME!

Just really, really hate Sonic Boom

YOU CALL THAT A CHARACTER DESIGN CHANGE SEGA!!?? WDF!!

Exactly, too many people expect it to play like the previous games in the series. There's nothing wrong at all with being innovative every once in a while. Nintendo does it, Square Enix does it, so why can't SEGA? It never hurts to experiment new things.

Not amazing, not terrible. Lost World was a playable game and it had some fun levels but also some bad levels. I hope they take all the good stuff and expand on it for the next game.

I haven't played it but if it's main gripe is that it isn't super fast I'm more than likely gonna prefer it.  I feel like everything in most Sonic games just whiz's past me and as a treasure hunter it feels painful to go past so many collectibles or secrets.  That's probably just me though, since most like Sonic games for it's speed.

Well, in my personal opinion. Sonic Lost Worlds deserves all the hate it gets. Horrible level design in a lot of places, Horribly easy and terribly made bosses, no sense of speed and a copy, pasted remake of Mario Galaxy with Sonic's face taped on it,

Thanks for giving me more reason to buy this game xP

Sonic Lost World controls are awkward,the spindash is weird, it was much better in the Adventure games,the level design feels more like it belongs to a Mario game(and I'm not talking about the Super Mario Galaxy stuff),they even made Sonic run slower to fit the levels and overall the game is not that fun to play.Its not a terrible game,but from what I've played, I don't know,I just don't really like it.

It's not very fun at all. I didn't even want to finish it.

sonic 06 was terrible
