I could watch play through the entire game.

Also, the game didn't look that bad. Probably because I wasn't in control but it looked like an average platformer. It's clearly a spin-off so I don't get why people need speed speed speed.

This also makes me with there were more 3D platformers on the PS4 and in geral.

Really? It was pretty clear to me that the platforming controls were sub par.
 
It baffles me the unpolished, amatuer platformer design mistakes they made with both this game and Lost World
different teams, different directions.

i don't even think lost world's team were even core sonic team crew, the b-staff/storybook title guys probably.

some consistency would be nice, but sonic boom was always going to be trash.
 
LOL, Dan just figured out that "Amiibo" is a play on the word "amoeba".

I'm pretty sure it isn't. It's apparently a pun in Japanese on word "aibo(u)" (meaning mate? I know zero Japanese, correct me if you can), and for whatever reason Nintendo decided to use it everywhere (like with New 3ds, unlike Pullblox and Dark Moon). It also works in Spanish... sort of...

It's without a doubt based on the word amigo, the Spanish word for friend.
 
Holy shit Knuckles looks gross

The gradual evolution of Knuckles into more of his own character, rather than "Sonic but he can climb and glide", is inevitable and necessary, but god damn is the "duhhh he's called Knuckles so he obviously punches shit and is buff and stuff!" direction lazy.
