      Tbh I'm not a fan of the characterizations in this game since I've seen fans that do skits do a more satisfying job of showing who they can be, but I'm not going to gripe over it since it is better than anything in the 2010's. Who knew it took a good writer to nail down comedy/toning the moment appropriately with what the scene needed? Looking at you Pontac and Graff.

      @@novelty_thief The thing is, critics set out to critique the various *aspects* of the game. And there's a lot of individual parts of Sonic Frontiers that suck in a vacuum. But if you actually just sit back and experience it, the game is simply incredibly enjoyable to play. You can list 50 flaws with the game and make a convincing argument that it sucks on paper, but that's the case for EVERY sonic game, except perhaps S3&K. What makes the difference is how the pieces fit together, what's the moment-to-moment gameplay, does the game have soul, and does my face hurt from smiling after playing it for an evening. And Frontiers ticks all those boxes. Aside from SMT Strange Journey it's the most fun I've had with a game all year. And I'm a Xenoblade fan.

Although I still have Unleashed as my top 1 Sonic game, I'm definitely confident in saying that this right here...this is cathartic.

    After Frontiers, I don't know if i can go back to the older titles. Even Cyberspace has a huge skill ceiling because of the new cancel stuff they gave sonic. Frontiers makes you feel like sonic and super soniic. I hope all super fights are like the titan fights from now on even if they drop combat after frontiers. I want super sonic fights with a combat system from now on. Frontiers is the best sonic game in the franchise imo.

      I feel they should release some patches for this game - it can be perfect if they do some of the following:
      - fixed the pop-in... I have a feeling this is not gonna be as hard as people say... because the issue is less about pop-in and more about assets loading in an incorrect order... for instance, in most cases, you will observe an object that is further away already fully loaded in, and a nearby object not loaded in yet... and it loads in when you move closer - not getting into programming details, but it feels as if the render pipeline is just filling in the objects that have to rendered in an incorrect order... it seems like an issue that can be fixed in a few weeks at most.
      - Fixed the odd bad collision bugs people have faced - again, should not be hard at all...
      - Remove unbearable camera-hijacking in certain sections where the player loses camera control.
      - Lower the score required for pinball boss.
      - And like you say - Added Super-Sonic in Open World when you beat the game on Hard.

      ​@@KnucklesWTD How about just ADMIT you want piecemeal short-form content. What is so magical about 5 years that it makes the 70% score game a good deal? Why not TEN years, anything less is anti-consumer, but the caveat being they need to churn out free DLC for two years. WHY NOT just lifetime subscription and you get what you get, pleb.
      What people seem to ASK FOR, regardless what you say you want, is to skim as much money as possible every 5 years from people who might not otherwise buy ALL the games, for being "low on content", and AFTER enough people bite the bullet you get to sit the devs down to make DLC for NO extra profit, just off-disc content they can delete when the next webshop goes offline.
      Because you already got them the money, out of the "just buy the game to support it, it's only every 5 years" people. Can't decide if you want to until AFTER you churn out $60. Assuming this game even gets half the sales as the most watched video crying about the bad hype in the IGN trailer.

    This wasn't a step in the right direction, it was a *MOON JUMP*. It's clear there's passion in this game and it's also clear that they wanted to innovate. I think there's some room for improvement IMO (Namely the final boss and combos. The final boss was epic in story, but the gameplay wasn't what I hoped for. The combos are amazing, I just wanted to use them more).
    With that said, I could see a Sonic Adventure remake using this games engine and physics. Make the homing attacks a little more snappy and you got the basis for an adventure style game. I could also see them making a sequel or something like that to further the open zone gameplay, in matter of fact I really would like open zone to be the formula for a while.

    If 4 to 5 years is going to be the new normal for a mainline Sonic game,then they need to fill in the time for fans by working on 1 or 2 spinoff games. Not asking for the dozens of spinoff games they used to do in the Dark Age,but Sonic as franchise has a lot of potential that's being left on the table game wise. Like why not the bring back the Riders series? It's core gameplay was different enough from Sonic ASR that it wouldn't overlap.Another try at a fighting game,maybe in a 2d animated style, a DMC like action game,or Action RPG? And just outsource of all these to different studios suited for the job so it doesn't strain the main Sonic Team.

    man something i keep thinking about in all of this is that kishimoto had to fight tooth and nail for a year delay and when i imagine the game this would have been a year ago i feel so miserably sad. it needed that year so badly and without it, i fully believe we would have had another crash and burn, ESPECIALLY when we're lucky enough that the switch port runs pretty stable. that would not have been true a year ago. ian flynn is getting his rightful recognition for what his writing did for this game, but i dont think enough people realize the impact kishimoto had by being willing to double down on needing that time in the oven and i'm genuinely really grateful. i really hope that if nothing else, this shows sega that that time was NECESSARY and that they need to trust the creatives making these products more to know what is needed to make them good. for all the hate kishimoto gets, it cannot be understated the impact i think that decision had on the end product.

They also made Tails cool again. Not relying on sonic much but also learns to do things by himself and showing that he's growing up and is no longer a little kid but into a man. Amy and knuckles also got the justice they needed since generations and maina.
    Amy's not a simp when she sees sonic and knuckles is not becoming much of a meme anymore. Frontiers is showing Pontiac and Graff that they really tried to mess up the franchise and told them it's time for sega and sonic team to get into more different ways to make the sonic content more and more popular and ways it hasn't happened before.
