What about Sonic Forces ?

Hi guys ^^ !

Who pre-ordered Sonic Forces on PC too ? Are you disappointed ?

Personnally, I've managed to avoid any kind of spoil just like Sonic Mania when it came out but...

Omg, this game has so much defects that I don't know where to start.

Ennemies AI is non-existant ! Robots just wait for you to kill them and just stand there ><... WHY ? How the heck did Eggman conquered the world with such stupid minions ???

Stages... 30 seconds... or 1 minute to complete them... why so short ?

Gameplay is horrible, (using a XBOX controller !) it's a press X to Win... BOOOOOOOOOST ! The characters are so heavy that you feel really uncertain that you're handing a controller ! The scripted parts are just taking 80 % of the game ! YOU DO NOTHING ! NOTHING !!!!! Fuck you ! I wanna play bitch ! Not watching a movie !!!!

Red rings... similar to rings, you get them without really searching, they appear out of nowhere and are very badly placed... No challenges.

Bosses are ridiculous... Oh gosh... See by yourself, but the time where there were challenges is over.

Avatar section... Meh... For a game where the avatar takes a very important place, I REALLY hope there will be tons of mods to fix that !

Pleasure in game is almost non-existant. I was just holding my controller, waiting for the end of the level. But when I reached stage 10, I left...
It's the very first time that I'm so disgusted of a Sonic game...

I left the game after 1 hour !!! I LEFT the GAME after 1 HOUR, holy shit !! I planned to play the game during all night and... No ! Heck no !!!

And about the scenario... It looks great and all but...

[ SPOILER ALERT ]

Is it me ? Or did Infinite (Zavok) just triggered his own end by releasing Sonic after six month when they were about to win ???

[ SPOILER DONE ]

Tsk !

Please dear fans ! If you love Sonic like I do ! MOD IT !! MOD that piece of shit !! New species, new stuff, new levels !!! Or, just take Sonic Generations Engine and redo the entire game !

I'm sorry SEGA but after such a great game as Sonic Mania, you proved once again, that you don't make any efforts for your mascot.

/!\ Please guys ! Give your own critics ! I need to read what you think of it ! Tell me ! Maybe I missed something... Tell me ! /!\

OwO I don't know about you. But I find the game enjoyable. I like the story they going with and it a Major plus to add character creation. The Gameplay seem fine not bad or good. But decent. It a game where you play and have some fun while enjoying the cut screen at the same time. I would sometime go back to the other stages and replay them with a different character and I gotten love the music always. To me the game seem in between good or bad. I didn't have any problem with the red rings if I spot one I grab it. But trust me you will die a few times till you adapt to the game. I can't count how many times I run into a robot in high speed forgetting to boost or when the air bots blast me with their laser because I was not in a rush. To me personally I find this game really fun. aka I beat the game and playing it on the switch just to show my love for the Nintendo and Sega.

I agree with the Prof. I don't see anything wrong with the game itself. plus. Infinite is the second best dark sonic villain compared to Mephiles. I even get a good idea on which OC's I could create in the future.

This feels like the game was rushed. I don't have it but it feels they shouldn't have released it for this years holidays.

Got it for PS4, not disappointed at all. Especially after the abomination that Lost World was

It's also pretty sad that the game seems to be quite short, I already saw 2 ppl beat it under 3 hours~
Did you had the problem as well that the game crashed after the second stage? Kinda ridiculous that the game releases with the DRM bug (u had to go to offline mode to play the game normally)~

Maybe, as DarkSonic250 already said, they did the 06 thing all over again and released it before christmas... totally unfinished and short.

I cannot say more to the stages etc. at all, need to play the game first to expand my impressions to it ^^"

Just completed the game, I think it is perfectly okay... sadly nothing more or nothing less. It’s a shame because I had very low expectations, playing the game was fun at first but it became more grading as I played more and more.

I felt the character customisation was good, whilst limited it felt enjoyable creating my own character and clothing it, I liked the wispons but they where very overpowered and felt like the enemies where way to weak to go up against the wispons. Stage backdrops where brilliant and felt epic especially with the great soundtrack accompanying it, exploration in some stages was fun but often felt like you needed another wispon just to go their which makes replaying it get boring after awhile. The story is mixed for me, it felt silly but enjoyable, not as silly but enjoyable as Adventure 2’s story but what I feel that let me down is the mixed tones of the game and how little they actually explained most things and lack of any real pay off.

Aside from that where do I start on the bad... Classic Sonic felt like an after thought, his stages are just okay to me and I feel like it wasn’t needed other than “it worked for Generations so why not put it in Forces?”, at least with the Avatar stages they felt part of the experience and offered more in terms of replay ability. I hate to compare Forces to Mania but comparing the classic stages to Mania’s stages feels like a let down, I understand they where both two different teams and aiming for different structures but Classic stages where my least favourite to come to and relied way to much on platforming challenges. Modern stages feel way to reliant on cheap hazards to bring you to a halt, whilst I appreciate the set pieces like in Metropolis where the phantom ruby was distorting the city and the QTE’s where appreciated in certain situations the game really lacked I. Quality stages, out of all the modern and avatar stages I can think of like 5 which where enjoyable overal.

I could go on for longer but I don’t really think that’s necessary atm, overal I like Forces but I could not recommend it to anyone other than Sonic fans but even that’s stretching it. I hope Sonic Team do come back to Forces and do more with it and improve on it, I don’t think it’s a bad game by any means it really don’t think it’s dissapointing either, it’s just “okay” and I think that’s the problem. Forces needed to be aiming for Good or Great rather than Okay because I feel like a Sonic Team really need to get the 3D games on track, I do think they poured their all into this game and really tried, I can appreciate their efforts but I don’t think in the end the game really will outshine it’s predecessors.

I don’t think modding it will solve the problem but I do think giving feedback to Sonic Team could help in the future, I don’t think this is the end of the 3D Sonic games (if we got by 06 and Boom, we will live) and I hope the team take feedback onboard and out it to use on the next title.

I'm so happy I avoid this. Might pick it up when t drops down in price but I'll go back to playing AC origins instead. Thanks for letting me know it's that bad

I have heard that it is a poor side of average.
Like 6/10 which does seem fair.

I found the game enjoyable for the short amount of time that I spent to beat it. The story was a bit lack luster, but being a person who's friends with Mike Pollock himself, I was actually surprised to see they made Eggman more darker than usual. (Which of course Mike Pollock did a wonderful job voicing as always.) Even still, I would have hoped the Shadow DLC would have give more on Infinate, or made it to where you got more story tie ins with the two, than just 3 small episodes, its like, FINALLY I get to play as Shadow, BUT it was more of a TEASE than anything else.

Honestly if it wasn't for the Comics giving some clarification to Infinite, we wouldn't know NOTHING about WHY he joined with Eggman in the first place.

*SPOILER*

He's a Bounty hunter who is a Jackal, who just randomly was tired of his life after Eggman had put him into submission, and was like Fuck it, I'll join ya and ruin the world. (That's the basics of it.)

Game Play wise I found it a bit annoying myself, especially during the water slide stage, cause I died so many times, with just trying to control the character, who'd just FLY right off the stage with little effort on my part.

Even still it was fairly good, so I say I'd probably give it a 6 or so out of 10, I guess just cause of my knowing of a few of the VAs and stuff in there. At least for their sake I do.

Well, this is the end of Modern Sonic, it seems.

Well 2 be honest I think it Okay 2 me and I'm an Sonic fan. But I can understand how some of the people who waited 4 this will be an bit disappoint, but let me ask you guys did you have fun playing it? I mean as long as you have fun with it does it matter how good or bad the game is?

I'll give it an 8/10 cause of the boss battle, background music, Episode Shadow (which finally someone made the long version of Biolizard Remix) and the custom character (which is okay).

*Don't hate me 4 this*

But I think they should have spent more time with Sonic and Classic Sonic more cause they taken some of the moves from the others game like Sonic Unleashed and throw them away replacing they with (beep) moves that don't work.

Classic Sonic is no better but they at least try. I mean the only reason why Classic was in cause of the good ending you get after beating Sonic Mania (which is awesome) But they try.

So ya Sonic Forces It's okay 4 the true Sonic Fans out there, But 4 others it's an step down again. My Thoughts at least also dark but not that much.

my gameplay on the Switch isn't so bad. hell, I got this game hours before it released at 9 p.m. Monday. but unlike most players, I didn't do the norm like they did and fall for the gimmick of the avatar from the second trailer. most of my friends did that and they were stupid. I personally like how this game answers the elusive question, "What would happen if Eggman actually conqured the world?"

Mods would really help this game a lot to add variety or even fun species and such.

Sadly the pc version of sonic forces comes with Denuvo, so it is very unlikely we will see any mods at least for now, I played 3 stages and then went to play something else, but I still plan to finish it

Voilà pourquoi je déteste le fandom de Sonic, toujours en train de se plaindre des jeux Sonic ! Ça me frustre de voir les Sonic classiques fanboys en train de basher les jeux modernes de Sonic. C'est vraiment triste. Pour moi, Sonic Forces à du potentiel même si je n'ai pas la Switch ou PS4 ou Stream pour y jouer. Juste de regarder le gameplay me donne envie de l'acheter, en plus d'avoir la switch.

Et voilà pourquoi j'ai quitté DeviantArt... oui je me plains et tu n'as pas à me l'interdire. J'en ai ras-le-bol de cette politique de merde qui oblige à choisir pour ou contre. J'ai ma liberté d'expression aussi ^_^.

On voit clairement que tu n'as jamais pu mettre la main sur la manette et te laisser complètement guider par le jeu. Si tu as envie de jouer à un jeu qui se finit en moins de 3h pour un bon Sonic Player, alors ce jeu est fait pour toi. La seule grande qualité que je lui donnerai et que je ne reprocherait jamais à Sega, ce sont ses graphismes somptueux ! C'est vraiment très beau mais... comme je dis toujours une fille canon ne signifie pas forcément qu'elle est bonne au lit. Je ne me fais pas avoir avec des petits graphismes.

Tu le constateras par toi-même mais par rapport à générations et Unleashed... ce jeu n'a aucune saveur. Je ne me suis pas amusé, j'ai déjà fini le jeu et je n'ai vraiment pas envie d'y retourner sauf pour récupérer les ring rouge.

Il ne faut pas en vouloir à la communauté des fans de sonic d'être comme ça mais plutôt à sega de toujours changer sa politique chaque année et de transformer sonic comme ils l'entendent. (SATBK SU SC SLW...

Mais vois-tu... vu que je suis fan de sonic je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de l'acheter et de le finir. Ce jeu à 80 % de défaut et 20 pourcents de bonheur... et même si il n'y a que 20 % je suis toujours là rien que pour ce petit plaisir de revoir Sonic courir.

Fais-toi ton idée du jeu dès que tu le pourras.

Je n'ai jamais dit que tu ne pouvais pas exprimer ton opinion. J'ai juste dit que j'en ai marre qu'on se plaigne pour presque la totalité des jeux Sonic.

Je préfère être positive envers ces jeux et de leur donner une chance au lieu de leur cracher dessus pour la simple raison qu'ils sont pas selon mes "standards"

Je sais que les fans ont des espérances pour des jeux mais comme on dit: On ne peut pas satisfaire tout le monde.

Désolée si mon commentaire précédent t'a semblé agressif. Je m'en excuse.

Tbh, I felt that you were being a bit too harsh on the game.  It doesn’t deserve to be called one of the best, but it doesn’t deserve to be called one of the worst either.

Something happened during development.  Either it was them making a brand new engine, Sonic Team moving development back to America, the 3 game deal with Nintendo extending its hindrance resulting in budget cuts (which would explain the lack of level designers), or maybe all three... who knows?

On a side note, could you link me to your commission rules?  I might be interested considering that I’ve seen your work before.
