I had a smile on my face the whole hour. Would like to see Dan at least try a Silver-episode level.

That fucking Play Magazine review is what convinced me to buy this piece of trash. The editor, Dave Halverson, had tastes similar to mine, so when he was the lone voice of positivity while the rest of the world was shitting all over Sonic 2k6, I trusted that he would not lead me astray. I was absolutely stunned by how terrible this game is. It's like Sonic Team sold their alpha code as a retail product. I never read Play Magazine again.

I don't know if I need this bit/series to continue. I think that the staff has seen what they need to see and should move on with their lives. The game doesn't deserve any more attention.

I had to do a search on the guy and wow, just from this twitter thread he seems like an insane boss from a sitcom or something: https://twitter.com/kidfenris/status/1204199592998449152

I've seen this played before several times, but I don't think I have ever seen any of the cutscenes or at least this many of them and holy shit these are terrible. The mishmash of realistic looking characters with a kinda serious seeming story and cartoony Sonic is just...quite something.

I'm just here for the RPG elements and rampant diversity.

I love this. Wow. I used to rent this piece of shit from Blockbuster all the time when I was a freshman in high school. I think i had bad taste.

Wait, there are no camera controls? Then what's inverted, moving the character?
