Well here's a few of the recurring posts in most Sonic threads to get the ball rolling.
- "why wont Sega just kill the franchise already?"
- posting of the Sonic cycle whether it fits or not
- Shitty Friends
- claims that Sonic games were in fact never good
- mention of creepy fanbase leading to....
- the posting of awful fanart
Though I'm not sure how I'd structure such a thing, maybe it's more like the Sonic checklist or perhaps Sonic Thread Bingo Highway.

you can also add the whole kissing humans/06 in general. Would complaining about unlocalized SEGA titles instead of making Sonic games also count?

Don't know if anyone posted this-- but if any of you PC game, humble bundle has a SEGA Bundle going and the latest tier just unlocked Sonic Generations $3.77 (as well as a few other games)

I'm a fan of the bingo card idea.
Those are just two awful bosses and a glitch. Hardly the degree of missing polish like LW's missing, blank, and/or boring transitions.

I think just regular 3x3 bingo would work.
There's a new PA comic (which isn't even clever), that may replace the Shitty Friends one in use.
Edit: Maybe a quote from Bingo Highway of Sonic Heroes on the card?

Well, I mean, Time Eater clearly isn't done.
Honestly I don't think Sonic Lost World is missing a lot of polish. To me it just feels like the natural conclusion to a lot of bad ideas.
I dont think a lot of the bosses in generations were done, the bosses were the weakest links in that game.
The ideas were the strongest part of the game, it was awful execution and lack of proper motivation to do shit that held it back.
Although on that note when has the Super Sonic secret ever been legitimately well balanced? It always feels like a janky mess to play lately.
Am I missing something or is that the joke?
Sonic 2, Sonic 3, and maybe Sonic R if your definition of "balanced" is "fun". The real benefit to the form was that it let you completely ignore everything you'd learned about momentum, and that doesn't exist in games that don't have a concept of momentum. Even the invincibility's lost its luster in the boost era.

I particularly hated the fact that the insta-kill walls and bomb-mine cars still killed you despite being Super Sonic.

I forgot about that. They added two pieces of level DLC, yet still never fixed that.
Maybe it was supposed to be what ended up as the preorder DLC, and they yanked it out last-minute.

Would people say Planet Wisp was undone? Or just plain bad level design?
I feel like the ending of the game was just unfinished.

It was obviously rushed.
I really liked Planet Wisp. I didn't have any problems with the modern act, and the classic act was essentially Scrap Brain Zone with the Planet Wisp aesthetics which was pretty cool.

I think it was an issue of trying to make a final stage out of something with the wrong aesthetic for an end-game Sonic level. Also, it went on WAY too long, and relied on some finicky mechanics.
I thought Generations 3DS using TR as a finale stage was kinda neat, considering it creates book-ends with Colors DS.
I barely remember Planet Wisp.

I see what you both mean.
I would have loved Planet Wisp if it had more of the beautiful, and lush environment though.
But Modern's shift into an industrial hell, and most of the level being in 2D just felt like it ruined what could have been the most beautiful-looking stage.
I guess it was to make it feel more final level-esque.

I actually quite liked Planet Wisp in the Colors though I would have liked either Starlight Carnival or Aquarium Park as a level choice for Generations, but yea, this part especially.
and yea, that too.
Also, I did not like the music for Classic's stage.

As I've said before, I think they should've made the stage shorter, and budgeted for a "Clockwork Zone" that mish-mashes various level elements together, into what would feel like a proper final stage. It would've tied into the final boss better (who has chunks of various zones floating through the time tunnel, that's the stuff you smash into).
Other than setting up some box platforms, I think Action Master did a decent job of it? I don't mind that there's construction equipment in it, actually, it's that you end up dwelling in that part of the stage for much longer, since lots of the fiddly bits are there.

Yeah, that's the major thing that bothered me about Classic Sonic's physics too. It feels much better when the angle of Sonic's jump is affected by the terrain too. This ain't Mario, a major point of the game's concept is terrain going in all sorts of crazy inclinations including loops. Having a jump that completely changes with it makes the game more unique and requires more skill (not by itself a good thing, but welcome for such a straightforward game with sort of a time-attack focus).

That chat's been dead for months, honestly. qq more doesn't even go there anymore, and he was, like, always there, so...
Actually, he started a new chat where he goes now. You can find the channel name in the topic of #SonicGAF.

Sonic Boom helpfully provided a new birthday cake this week:
There's a lot more stuff I want to screencap from this episode, but it'd spoil all the fun.
Gotta go to a clinic early tomorrow (7ish hour sleep woooooo :V), but I will catch up once I get back, this cartoon has been delivering it for the most part.

Here's some cool Sonic Boom (not so) viral marketing. Go to 8:24.

I thought the last episode was pretty great, but it annoyed me that
If only all this care was put into the game.
they didn't even spare a line to say why they were turning Eggman back, they just did. Seems to be a theme with the show, you really aren't supposed to think about it too hard.
If only all this care was put into the game.
Just finished Bayonetta for the first time.
Holy SHIT. I think I have a new member in my "top 5 games of last gen" list. Fucking phenomenal game. Based Kamiya. My only issue is the cutscenes were a bit too long. I feel like, for the amount of story they were telling, they could have been trimmed down quite a bit. This is especially a problem because the gameplay is fucking SUBLIME. Best character action game I've ever played, with ease. I just want to play, damn it. No cutscenes needed. Every moment I'm sitting here watching a cutscene could have been spent performing another combo.
Usually after I finish a certain game or genre, I feel kinda burned out. Usually want to try something else. I can't play JRPGs back to back. I wouldn't want to play two Resident Evils in a row.
But fuck. I've never been so ready to jump into the sequel to a game. Starting up Bayonetta 2 right now.

So supposedly Boom Wii U only did 25k. And the 3DS version did even less than that.
Yeah, was really smart of them to rush it to go with the cartoon...

God DAMN, 25k? Not even Anth0ny would play that.
Seriously? Any source on that?
:lol
I wish the mods cared, it would put an end to the blatant thread shitting in those threads. There's no way to have a discussion in those threads because those same people won't shut the fuck about how much better they are for not being a fan of anything having to do with Sonic.
Somehow the non Sonic fans are always the first ones in those threads to remind the world that they don't like Sonic or whatever. Ain't that something.
Meanwhile, you say one bad thing about a fucking unfinished Zelda demo...
I'm waiting for it to pop up at my local library. They have games there for some reason. Surprisingly recent games, too. They have the other Wii U Sanic.
