Some of them are cool for like 10 minutes, but I'm obviously not wasting my time buying or renting them just for that.

Sonic doesn't work in 3D for me. I feel more comfortable seeing him fly past a wall of repetitive jungles. Just saying, I haven't really liked any of the 3D Sonic games.

Poor Sales + Good Reviews = Underrated classic
Good Sales + Poor Reviews = Cult Classic

Poor Sales + Poor Reviews = A sonic game (after the 90s) but that's just my opinion.

No Sega. You are ignoring reviewers, fans and general sales.

The games are not fun
They are glitchy
Have terribly made hub words
Unlikable characters that really are annoying abominations
Werehog sections
Terrible controls
Pointless collections
Shit boss battles
Repitive music
Poor graphics
Dull generic enemies

So what bit don't I understand? Is it that I have standards?

I can only wait for sonic fanboys to see this thread before they all start to rage...

I don't think it's us not understanding them... I think it's the fact that the controls are all over the places. Hey, same art style, same 3D just controlled like the old 2D sonic games and yes... You have a good game there. Sonic just doesn't work in a 3D space... He's all over the show.

Though I would like to add how humorous I find it to see a grown man act like a school child.

NO SEGA. I loved Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, and I thought Sonic Heroes was a good game that turned sour part way through. However I hate some of the rubbish they have been turning out, like Sonic the Hedgehog '06, Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Unleashed. You CAN make good Sonic games in 3D, as you have already shown us, Sega. You simply choose to do otherwise. No more gimmicks, just a good Sonic game please.

Sonic games suck because of the extra crap that is uncalled for. Sonic and the Secret Rings was so good if not for half of the useless features.

I noticed they didn't try to defend 2006. I dare them to try.
Quite frankly, I've made my criticisms enough times here and I can't be bothered to repeat them. But for Sega to say to the critics "you're wrong, our games are actually good", that's witnessing people not trying to please anyone.

I think it's combination of both. You can't release a game like Sonic 2006 and claim the bad reviews are just because the fans don't understand it. But you can't write out the "fans" that ***** about extremely trivial things and never even give Sonic a chance, either.

Besides, they seem to be getting back on track. A new 2D Sonic and a follow-up to the daytime levels of Unleashed? (Which garnered mostly positive reception, I might add. Why is everyone ignoring this?) Yes please.

Well, I noticed that the sonic games started getting bad once they renamed "Dr. Robotnik" to "Eggman." So maybe Sega should go ahead and rectify that first. =D

Edit: Yes I know this isn't the reason why the games suck, and I know he was originally "Eggman" in Japan. Was just joking around.

Hit the nail on the head.

The 3D games SUCK...except the Adventure series...those were actually pretty good...but after that they JUST PLAIN SUCKED.

Sorry Sega. You are not fooling anyone here.

Sonic games did get bad because they renamed robotnik, they got bad when they decided to do all of these pointless gimmicks.

Im just tired of people ALWAYS saying that >:/

I literally laughed when I read when Sega Says "Sonic 3D hasn't been rated good because it wasn't 2D". They should know that their 3D sonic games just suck, excluding the Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes. They shouldn't lie to themselves like that.

Yes. The fanbase is incompetent for entirely different reasons

Amen to that. The majority of the Sonic fanbase is a complete and utter joke.
