@remlapgamer Sega? Integrity? I don't think that word is in their dictionary after withholding review copies of Aliens: Cononial Marines AND Sonic Boom to try and get some sales in before the games were exposed as garbage by the media.
The truth is that the game isn't being shut down out of integrity, it's because it's not making the money they expected it to. Simple as that.
I'm hardly surprised either. The game is yet another boring, randomly generated endless runner, albeit a rather pretty one. That coupled with a very poor translation to English and more micro transactions than $5 hooker, it's hardly a shock that it flopped.
@Hotfusion yeah. I know. It was a dirty trick that they also pulled when they released Aliens a few years earlier because they knew that was a stinker too. Lol. I've stopped trying to argue though. If people want to live in denial, they aren't hurting anyone. I guess 😂
@Nomad why don't you go back and reread all the comments made by me and the other guy. I've already explained why the game was bad, how Sega deliberately tried to trick people into buying the game and how defending this trash hurts the industry. Don't join a debate without reading the entire thing...
@liveswired so you know my life now eh? I own the f**king game. Lmao. Don't go telling me what I have and haven't played. You have no idea, you silly child. Are you really that stupid that you're going to sit there and tell me what games I have and have not ever played? Do you know how moronic you sound?
As for teenage angst, I'm a 32 year old grown man, who happens to be in the gaming industry.
You however, seem to be defending the game very aggressively to the point where you are making yourself look like a foolish baby. Especially telling people what they have or haven't played. Pathetic.
@rushiosan the only people who defend this trash are people who try to justify their purchase or people too young to know any better.
If they're the latter, then they are too young to understand that defending this kind of dreck actually hurts the industry as a whole by telling lazy developers that rushing games to market is OK as long as there are MORONS willing to pay for (and defend) this kind of half baked garbage.
You can't fool all of the people all of the time. But you can fool some of the people, some of the time, I guess...
@kenrulei mate, idgaf if the game was patched. The truth is, a few patches can't fix something that is inherently poorly made. It can't. You can defend your poor purchase to try and justify the money you invested in it. But that doesn't make it any more than a rushed, poorly designed and cheap piece of junk.
The truth is that even Sega knew it was a pile of garbage when they released it. They deliberately withheld review copies of the game from publications until after the game was already on the shelves so that people would buy it before the reviews could damage sales. This is Sega basically admitting they know a game is bad. It's why they did it with Boom, it's why they did the same dirty, unhanded trick with Aliens a few years ago too.
The truth is, as a Sonic fan, you shouldn't be defending this terrible stinker of a turd. You should expect more than "ok". We should encourage Sega to take Sonic and make him relevant and great again by NOT justifying them rushing a half finished, unplayable mess to market so they can milk an already dying cash cow.
And deep down, I think you know that you and all Sonic fans as well as Sonic himself deserve more than what Boom delivered.
@liveswired how exactly is it a "GOOD" or a "SOLID" game? Seriously, tell us what you liked so much about this brown butt juice of a game. It's got terrible level design, terrible, boring button mashing fighting, ugly graphics that would have looked dated on the GameCube and it's buggier than every Assassins Creed game combined and don't even get me started on the voice "acting"...
It's not good or solid. It's bad and flaccid.
And yes, I have played it. So don't try that one on me.
@liveswired I think you need to go back on your meds buddy. Sonic Boom was not only the worst Sonic game made since Sonic Blast on the Master System but actually the worst game I have ever played. The only people defending this atrocious, shameless, rushed, squatted, runny dump of a game, are those too young to offer a subjective opinion on the quality and what gamers expect.
It was so bad that Sega knew it was going to get terrible reviews so they refused to give out review copies until after it was already released to get a few sales in before people found out it was garbage.
It takes a special kind of awful for a game development company to actually NOT want their product reviewed and getting publicity online prior to release.

@kenrulei yes I watched the video. And no, it doesn't change anything that I said. At all.
