Sonic Boom (The Game)

I still think 06 and Shadow the hedgehog are far more embarrassing games.
 
I don't know what y'all talking about, this game is glorious. It could be our Planet 9 from Outer Space, the cult classic for just how hilariously terrible it is.

I guess one way to put it is that Sonic Boom, by having already distanced itself from the main canon as soon it was revealed, doesn't crap on Sonic's legacy on any level, while Sonic 06 on the other hand was intended to be an anniversary celebration (by rebooting the franchise, effing amazing logic).

Now that I think about it Sonic Boom was only originally announced as a TV series, so that effectively makes the Sonic Boom games the Sonic equivalent of Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game, especially since the games are structured a lot like a typical movie game.

people are considering this as part of the main console lineup because it did get the same level of buildup as one.

But away from the main canon or not, this is still going to give people negative feelings for the future of series because of how SEGA let this happen.
 
This game's been criticized for having bad jokes. Could someone give me an example of one?
 
From what I've seen the only really cringe-worthy dialogue stems from Knuckles being a total idiot.

"There are presents?!"

oh and insert character here going on forever about rings/bounce pads
 
Yeah there's some cringeworthy dialouge and/or rather dumb characterization in the Cutscenes. (They made Knuckles pretty much the big idiot, and Shadow is pretty unnecessary and he literally fights Sonic just because he's a dick xD He literally says that Sonic is weak and pathetic for having friends before Shadow just comes up and fights Sonic. With no explanation as to what Shadow is even like in Sonic Boom giving this is a different universe from the main one.)

Though regarding the annoying dialouge when collecting Rings or bouncing on pads. You can actually turn off the constant chatter, they give you the option to turn that off. It does also remove some of the more helpful dialouge, but when the game's already too easy enough. I think it's good if you really do want to figure things out on your own rather then let Sonic and his friends be Captain Obvious all the time.

I actually liked Chronicles.

I thought it was ok. Not a giant fan but I never really disliked it. Same for Shadow the Hedgehog, for that matter.

Think I'll be skipping this one, though.
