Be honest, what review scores do you see this game getting when it comes out?

here's my honesty
*unzips dick*

Your dick has a zipper? Far out, man.

7.5

>unzips dick
>another dick comes out

8/10

Some criticism for doing remastered zones at all and saying they should've went all the way with new levels.

7.0 "Too Retro,"
-IGN

"Wtf it's just a romhack" 6/10

I'd say around 8 from most reviews.
Though the game looks a bit over animated

I see most of the reviewers giving in a generally nice score somewhere in the 7-8 range, and will call out some nonsense like "the old classics were never good to begin with" or "there's too much familiar stuff here".

You'll probably have that one reviewer give it a 5 and say "you could've just played the original games".

Really these, 7 - 8. It's not because its good either but because it's a sonic game. a retro sonic game. Nothing hit's below 5 anyways and to add if you follow game reviewers you're a fucking idiot.

over animated is a bad thing???
you know... i'm not going to bother with you. don't reply to me.

9/10- IGN

IGN, Gamestop, Polygon, Destructoid, Shitaku, etc.: anywhere between 1 and 6 (out of 10), mostly 4s and 5s

Any decentely reputable "freelance"/youtube reviewer: 7.5 will be the worst, with most being 8s and 9s
(Beta64, Gamexplain, Caddicarus, Haedox, MatthewMatosis, Hyperbithero, MLiG, ProJared)

I'm betting 6 at the worst, 8 at best. Fully expect a 7/10 though, and I'm ok with that.

10's across the board, games become good again, AAA scum get BTFO forever

6/10

"Finally, a good Sonic game."

Oh, and the "professional" journalists arent going to give the game credit for being well-designed even if they give it a 6, they're going to just say its nostalgia factor is strong or it gets carried by nostalgia or something. Because Sonic cant be good, its all nostalgia

5.6

"It's better than nothing."

I'm expecting shit like this:

>Sonic Mania's devotion to the the 16-bit era only serves to show that the original Genesis games you loved as a child were never that good to begin with.

>Though having a few moments of brilliance, all Sonic Mania does is highlight the inherent flaws Sonic has had from his inception

These were made up by Sup Forumsirgins but they sound scarily accurate to what these idiots would write.

low 70s, isnt it basically just a re-release compilation?

6.5 out of 10 - IGN

The review will start out by mentioning how Sonic's had a "tough time" since turning 3D, some kind of mention of a few other failed Sonic games like 06 and Sonic 4, and maybe a reference to the dark DeviantArt side of the fanbase.

Blah blah blah review filler, it ends with them saying the game is a fun little romp but doesn't do enough new things, and how the game brings up the flaws Sonic has had since the beginning - something about how Sonic was never that good in the first place when you stop and think about it.

Cue other review sites following suit, and Game Grumps jumping in on the bandwagon for funsies too. The game does decently but meme reviews from people who never gave it a chance in the first place ensure that Sonic Mania 2 never gets made.

Reminder that if you are above the age of 14 and still like sonic you are autistic.

Literally the other way round m8, if you're under 21 then you were probably never even alive to experience the few good Sonic games there have been, so you're probably just in it for the autistic furry side of things.

Honestly? I envision 7-8 with some 9s, because it's a good Sonic game but, even if it's a perfect successor to the Genesis titles, it's a "rehash" and thus not as good as it could have been if it tried to be a schizophrenic mess like the modern Sonic titles are and chase after new things regardless of the risk.

This is what happened to Lost World honestly. The people who bitch about it are usually 1 of 3

1. Sonic was always bad memecucks. No explanation needed, some review site said it was Sonic 06 episode 2 so its shit to them.

2. People who didnt bother to learn the controls. Honestly... People bitching about parkour usually dont know what theyre talking about and expect it to just be like Generations wall-running where you just boost and thats it. You're supposed to run up the side, and you can jump back and forth while going forward to extended your time on it, or use the spindash momentarily to extend your running and speed up. If you hold away completely like you're going to walljump well guess what... Sonic will do a wall jump away from the wall you're running on.
And also for spindashing... You have to press the crouch button and then mash jump. Just like every 2D sonic ever. I get that its never been applied like that to 3D Sonic but still, thats no excuse. People seem to think its adventure style and then bitch you dont go fast and it runs out easily, when you can fully charge it to get fast and then extend it basically infinitely

or 3. People who actually beat it and learnd the controls. Usually their main complaints are about the total lack of momentum, awful standing jump, and the level design, all valid complaints

I think they could easily push the angle that "it's not just a good Sonic game, it's a good game"

that is, if sega has enough money to pay everyone off

Well it's not not a linear AAA game devoid of gameplay, so there is no chance of it getting higher than a 9 from any major publication. Probably a 7.5 - 8 assuming they don't rush it out the door before bug testing.

Sega isn't rushing either of the new games out the door, otherwise they would force them to have them out by the end of 2016 like they did with previous anniversaries.

They're wising up.

7-8 merely due to the fact that it's a new 2D Sonic, probably a complaint about length, complements of the gameplay and some jargen about how it doesn't fill the void for "muh sonic adventure" and doesn't have enough "new things" in it for them

7.5 from ign, like with doom.
Good but not for newest generations of gamers, more involved by trend of the month or latest minecraft clone.
