Sonic Forces

Last edited:
The demo for the game is out. Three levels are available, one for each character. How's the demo? Well...


What kind of demo doesn't let you play more than a minute of levels that aren't even that long to begin with? Thankfully, a certain YouTuber has the skills to circumvent this bizarre constraint:



 
How the fuck does anyone in charge expect this game to sell well when you can only play 60 seconds of anything? That's so fucking stupid. This game (in terms of everything that matters) doesn't even look too bad, otherwise, but it's pretty clear this game ain't gonna sell too well, thanks to this shite.
 
I tried the demo and wow is it bad. Like horribly bad.

I retried everything a few times but I didn't find myself having fun once. Good show Sonic Team.
If Sonic Forces turns out to be just as bad as Sonic 06 and Boom, people are gonna call for their blood since Mania showed that good Sonic games can be done...WITHOUT the official team being the devs.

I'd say it's more of a Heroes in that it's not offensively bad or glitchy, but it's just not fun to play at all. It feels like Sonic Team wanted to work on anything else but Sonic during development.

so just merely decent, or average at best?
Still not looking good for them given how high Mania set the bar for future Sonic games.

I'm expecting a fanbase meltdown (possibly a new thread in salt mine?) if Forces isn't very good.

It's mediocre. Absolutely nothing you haven't seen before done better.

Well, to be brutally fucking honest with myself, I fucking hate Sonic Heroes (the music is OK, but everything else sucks, IMHO...). So, I pretty much feel it's safe for me to chalk this up as another failure for Sonic Team... In fact, Sonic Team NOT working on Mania just about explains why Mania turned out so fucking awesome, as it is, honestly.
 
Sonic Boom still sold well over a half a million copies even though everyone knew it was a festering pile of horseshit. I wonder if they've realized that and just scaled back the budget for this to be a profitable game with sales in that range. Not like the quality can really take a hit with the bar Sonic has set.

well, boom had some unintentionally fun moments with all of its glitches. this game doesn't even have those, it's just boring.

so people are getting their hands on this game a week before it officially comes out and livestreaming it, and holy shit I was right, this game is fucking awful
Man, I'm not even a fan of Sonic and I feel bad for the non autistic/sperg fans.
They get the awesome Sonic Mania game...and then they get this.

Sega and Sonic Team never really learn, do they? I'm surprised with the amount of fuckups this series had, that it isn't dead yet. Then again, considering the nature of a good chunk of the Sonic fanbase (read: :autism: ) it's not that big of a surprise I guess.
 
Watching some levels on yt and everything is 2 minutes long, while half of it is an automated grind section.
Spergs in the comments "look it's not linear, see?"
Always hilarious when shit kids, try to look like game design experts.
Fucking hell, this is suppoosed to be the best stage in the game, according to the spergs. This game is gonna bomb hard.
