sonic fans

[RipperG]

ok this is not a troll or a bait but a genuine question lol
why sonic fans are never happy ?! like each time i see a sonic games coming out i always see fans angry or disappointed and always complain about something

[Renos]

its the typical sonic fandom style
rage about a game at release
then 5 years later it is either suddenly a masterpiece or a horrible game that was never good.
and sonic 2 and 3 are holy titles that have totally 0 flaws and are perfect.

I mean, I guess if they would make a good Sonic game it wouldn't be a problem. lol

Sonic 3, as Tails, in Icecap act 1. Death by slide. Must be having a Hard Time.

This. It doesn't matter if it's a Sonic game or not, Steam users will be unhappy over this.

I wont speak on game play. But this is the perspective from the father of a sonic fan. (My kid LOVES him.)
Id also like to say that Sonic Frontiers was very well received by the community, or at least from my perspective it was.

Firstly;
I genuinely hate Sega's handling of its mascot.
Its just all very cash grabby. (This game is $107NZD, for what it is, that seems extremely steep.)
Not to mention Day one DLC.
For someone like me who looks out for sonic games for his kid, this just aint it fam.
Maybe on a mega sale? idk. But this is the main reason I'm not picking it up.

Lastly;
Sega just has a track record of half-assing things. mainly controls. With older titles I've experienced input lag, miss-mapped buttons, wrong prompts etc.

They're just never up to the standard that SONIC deserves IMO.

Because Sega handles Sonic about as well as Disney handles Star Wars or modern Marvel.

In this specific case, they've botched yet another launch of a Sonic game with denuvo + epic online nonsense, neither of which were properly disclosed, various DLCs were free by accident for a few minutes effectively screwing over anyone who paid money for them, and people redeeming keys for the deluxe edition seem to not be getting all of the deluxe edition content they paid for.
When the first thing that happens when you start your Steam copy of a game is you're asked to login to or create a new Epic account, people are going to rate negatively, and for good reason.

Because that something materially harms the game and impacts our ability to play it, present and certainly future when one of the required services inevitably goes down and locks us out of our purchase forever.

Imagine a food you like. Now imagine the only place that you can buy it from decides they're going to start pouring some absolutely disgusting sauce all over it - and not only that, but they refuse to sell it to you without the sauce. You either have to eat it with the rancid sauce, or stop buying it. That's the problem.

So you're not actually seeing what we mean because you're still acting as if Sonic fans are complaining about the game itself and not precisely how its PC release is handled by Sega. There's a big difference there.

It's just PC players in particular that are complaining right now because of the apparent unnecessary push of creating an account for Steam's direct competitor. That sort of thing gets PC players complaining for any game, not just Sonic. There's no stereotypical Sonic fan nonsense going on, that's just typical PC gamers' annoyance that can happen to any game.
