History YMMV / SonicGenerations

** ...You know what? Just print out a copy of the playlist and throw a dart at it.

* ''[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome The music]]''

** [[spoiler:The reveal that Robotnik and Eggman are in control of the Time Eater brought much rejoicing among the fans.]]

* BaseBreaker: The confirmation that [[TheBusCameBack a large number of the supporting cast will return]]. There are the people complaining about it and saying it'll ruin the game ([[FanDumb despite the confirmation that they'll just be NPCs coming at the same time]]), the people [[JustifiedTrope pointing out that it makes sense]], the people complaining that are [[CompletelyMissingThePoint forgetting that the game is]] [[MilestoneCelebration celebrating 20 years of the]] [[LongRunner Sonic franchise]], and [[AndTheFandomRejoiced the people that have been waiting for those characters to make a reappearance in a main Sonic title]].

*** Not to mention that, unlike the original, it actively DESTROYS an entire building while chasing Modern Sonic!

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRkL2vCUP6c Modern Rooftop Run... Just... Modern Rooftop Run.]][[hottip:*: It starts at 3:05]]

** It's often joked or speculated that the Time Eater is the personification of the [[UnreleasableFanbase Sonic]] [[BrokenBase Fan]][[FanDumb base.]]

** Now it's revealed that the Sonic Advance stages won't be included in this game, either.

* RuinedFOREVER: In the 3DS version at least, [[FanDumb Classic Sonic having the homing attack as an optional upgrade (through skill customization) has caused many outcries of this.]]

*** The reveals of Shadow and especially Silver as boss battles in the main version has caused people to complain too. Considering that Shadow is a BaseBreaker and Silver is seen by many as TheScrappy to begin with...
*** The footage of the Death Egg Robot from Sonic 2 has caused many to say ItsEasySoItSucks, [[FanDumb ignoring the fact that]] [[FridgeBrilliance the Robot isn't even the final boss in this game.]]
**** Also, there's a Hard Mode version of the boss anyway.

* GameBreaker: The Spin Dash for Classic Sonic. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4E2EbU0GGg See for yourself]].

* BaseBreaker: The confirmation that [[TheBusCameBack a large number of the supporting cast will return]]. There's the people complaining about it & saying it'll ruin the game ([[FanDumb Despite the confirmation that they'll just be NPCs coming at the same time]]), and the people [[JustifiedTrope pointing out that it makes sense]] & the people complaining are [[CompletelyMissingThePoint forgetting that the game is]] [[MilestoneCelebration celebrating 20 years of the]] [[LongRunner Sonic franchise]].

* The fact that Sonic faces [[spoiler:Perfect Chaos without the Emeralds could be seen as this]].

*** The footage of the Death Egg Robot from Sonic 2 has caused many to say ItsEasySoItSucks.

** Another meta-example that can also count as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: ''All 3 of Sonic's original creators'', [[http://www.siliconera.com/2011/06/11/sonic-the-hedgehogs-estranged-creators-at-last-reunited-with-segas-icon/ Yuji Naka, Hirokazu Yasuhara, and Naoto Oshima, appearing in the Sonic Boom event of E3 2011]], for one, big, happy reunion between Sega, Sonic Team, and Sonic himself as a part of the franchise's [[MilestoneCelebration 20th anniversary]].

* MemeticMutation: On the Sonic Stadium Message Boards, [[SonicUnleashed Rooftop Run]] has recieved [[SarcasmMode some flak]] for having a tree on its rooftop, meant to mock the sentiments that the FanDumb usually have. [[http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8532/25888010150212137766673.jpg A tree on a rooftop!?]] RuinedForever!

** If a Motorbug charges at Sonic and hits him, it flies a couple feet backward from the impact.
