Same problem as Fallout 2.

A sequel that didn't have to be made. It's just a longer, slightly more polished game with the same premise, nothing new was said and done that wasn't already in the original.

Besides, they lost the superior "enter a haunted church and explore it as it warps into hell itself, and kill the literal devil inside" for some bullshit contrived plotline with two new marysue villains.

Yes it is. The game is a fucking collectathon that encourages exploration but has you move so uncontrollably fast like your supposed to play it like a normal sonic game.

The game looks so muddy and the lockon is so busted you'll often attack your allies by mistake. Not to mention the horrible camera.

And then you just have the story and shadow as a character being fucking stupid even for a series about cartoon animals fighting a fat man in a hovercraft.

If Sonic 06 hadn't taken the cake for the worst game in the series, this probably would be the lowest point in the series.

Honestly, while it's much more dignified and presentable in terms of story and tone, Sonic and the Secret Rings was much less fun to play than Shadow

Good game muddled by bugs and glitches because vivendi wanted to rush that shit out the door. Real shame, it had a lot of promise.

My favourite part of the game was where you could take a wrong turn at a level and lose hours of progress when it dumps you back to an earlier part of the game.

Although I do agree Gen 5 was the epitome of Pokemon. People are way too quick to talk shit on Gen 6, whilst no post game content is truly unforgivable the PSS was one of the best steps forward we've had in the series as well as other steps to streamline competitive play. Megas also aren't that bad, they just need a bit more ironing out and more of them on the whole.

if you don't play online, then yeah, utter fucking shit

ff8 was fun and had some great design elements and some great story elements.

ff9 attempted to retread earlier FFs and failed, nobody played it and nobody remembers it, its design is a mishmash of wannabe shit and it just doesn't work. it's a failure for different reasons than the recent games in the series

ff10 is the full descent of the genre into jappy shit, losing the original fantasy heritage and becoming a game about jpop.
