For me I think that’s the issue, SEGA in large part, and Sonic Team who use SEGA as a shield for their consistent issues, should be better than this, and yet many continue to let Sonic have a pass for issues in almost any other game we’d riot at because “well it’s Sonic, can we expect better?” Yes.

100% agree, again it’s another example for me of Sonic team making a “good” game, that should be better, but has weird flaws for no reason.
Also I was thinking that same sticker thing, but didn’t want to seem petty🤣 “boy there sure are a lot of sponsored stickers… glad those were needed at launch…”

While I agree for the most part, I think that’s part of my problem though, the rivals system as you say is 1/4 of the game (give or take), and the fact that 1/4 of the game “situationally” doesn’t work should be a bigger issue, especially since again sega used that as the excuse for no extra VA work

According to the internet that’s “so brave” of you🤣

I had a similar grievance with sonic superstars, where they pushed it as “multiplayer sonic!” As the selling point, but when the multiplayer turned out to be broken, and still never fixed, it became “well it’s alright solo…” (debatable imo). I’m tired of giving Sonic team slack for issues like this

It’s wild, and depressingly “SEGA/Sonic Team” for them to do that… I’d be less annoyed if they hadn’t spent so long bragging about the rival system and how “we didn’t voice the dlc characters because we felt we did enough with the Sonic cast”, and then just changing a skin turns half of it off!

I’m pretty positive it’s not a glitch, because its happened to me a few times, and I’ve seen it done to others online as well. I was just to shocked to record it before.

What you don’t see in this clip is I edited out the next 10 seconds of me fumbling with the buttons to hold the record button🤣

I have 1 issue, specifically about festival mode, the team “touch to boost” is great, but unlike Mario kart 8 where it’s a love tap, it’s less fun when you have a race where your teammates “tap” you off the tracks edge 3-4 times in a row because “they need the boost”, and it flings you back to 12th

Thanks, and that’s what I seemed to find when looking into it, so I’ll probably buy some extra ram to slot in!

Shockingly I don’t have any over 500+ hours… but I’m still shocked at some of these over 100 plus (ranging from over 250+ to over 100+)

I could see that being a point worth brining up tbf, but he doesn’t even do that in the review, his whole point is “I hate this franchise, I’ve always hated it, it’s never been good, people who buy this franchise dumb” not “this spinoff branch is same-y”
