Yea, there are too many issues for the asking price right now. Not even the Switch version is worth that.

What issues are there outside of a few music tracks being replaced?

Are people complaining about:

  • new bugs from blind-porting S3 zones into the Retro/Mania Engine without tweaks
  • Old S3/S&K bugs that were never fixed for Origins where Sonic 3 Complete or AIR addressed them
  • Features used in S3 Complete and/or AIR that didn't get added to Origins
  • New bugs that SEGA somehow added to the Retro/Mania Engine or uncovered without fixing before launch
  • Various soundtrack dissatisfaction?

Full disclosure: Stealth and the Headcannon team are disappointed and frustrated as the rest of us are.

Stealth even went so far as to ask SEGA that they make post-release patches and tweaks, but SEGA hasn't gotten back to them on that yet.

Well. This isn't great. I almost wonder if this is why Sonic Origins hasn't gotten a physical release right away. Ah well, when in doubt, we can bully SEGA via social media to let Stealth and Co. fix up Sonic Origins! (Hrrm. Actually, should anyone even joke about this? I only did so because harassing big corporations via social media worked really well when it came to Sonic's movies.)

So, Happy birthday Sonic.

I just celebrated by listening to the music while working, will probably play Sonic 1 later this weekend when I get the time.

Sucks about Origins though.

Pariah talks about Origins. Not even 3 minutes in and he's already less than impressed with how it turned out. Though I'm not sure if I should be surprised by that.

A Sonic reviewer who got a boost in popularity thanks to reviewing the stories of the games based on the Japanese original material, and unlike most Sonictubers out there, is very unbiased and open to call a story garbage. He also reviews the gameplays.

"is very unbiased" is pretty much "shares my opinion" when dealing with reviews.

Because, eeesh, I've seen some reactions to reviews in this thread...

I'm just saying my lad, most Sonictubers I know only go critical mode with 06 and the Pontac titles, and lately they have only done so with the latter while the first became that "misunderstood masterpiece" that I cannot agree at all with.

To have someone be critical to the other games too, where the nostalgia is strong, is a plus for me.

I'm just gonna say the non Pontac games were usually simple at worst, but not offensive. I like Adventure 1 2 Heroes Battle Shadow even Rise of Lyric and 2006 to a degree. I have a high threshold for disliking Sonic titles.

The older games barely have plots so you likely don't hear as much criticism of them. The Pontac games get crap because the plots are generally crap and they became a significant feature.

And its always going to depend on what time you came into the series that determines which plots/games you're fond of. I could be critical of the Pontac games because I started with Sonic 2, and somebody who started with Sonic Colors might be more critical of Sonic 1 through CD.

All of that to say if a Youtube giving the non-Pontac games crap does it for you, great, but its not impossible to find people like that, and the Pontac ones get crap for a lot of reasons.

Also, being more critical and being unbiased are not the same thing.

Especially when being more critical takes the form of "calling a story garbage."

Pariah, however, does a little more research on the matter and dissects the stories in an interesting way, kinda similar (but, imo, not as fair) as Dragon Ball Dissected. And that's interesting to me.

So, do you think that SEGA might be going through a similar situation with Activison (keep in mind though that Activision's situation is way different from what's going on with SEGA) in terms of once all the behind the scenes drama starts getting worse on the internet, will they start changing heads at SEGA once again?

If I had to talk about Pariah....you know how most Sonictubers are mostly millennials who grew up on the 6th generation games and tend to exalt every game between Sonic Adventure-Sonic and the Black Knight and absolutely despise every thing from Colors onwards, but tend to be pretty superficial about it?

Pariah has a more neutral stance and just tends to take the games for what they are regardless of the popular opinion. That means praising the game's strengths where its warranted and calling out its flaws.

That's the most general overview I can give. Judge for yourself how valid his points are.

The worse I have disagreed with is in regards to names.

Bro thinks Eggman is fine, but "Robotnik" is dumb, alongside the name "Knuckles Clan" despite defending Eggman as a cartoony name. Yet, Robotnik and Knuckles Clan are dumb.

Smh, the yellow flag for any Sonic fan for me is when they think either Eggman/Robotnik are dumb names compared with its counterpart. They both dumb.
