I'm boycotting all Yuji Naka games until Sonic R, the greatest and most underrated Sonic game of all time, finally gets its long-deserved sequel.
Maybe a re-released soundtrack no thanks on the game.

He's just a talented programmer for a system released 30 years ago and never bothered to improve or learn.How is he a fraud? Just because he’s a programmer/director who found their talent outpaced by technology and evolving gaming trends doesn’t make him a fraud. There was a window in which his skill set made some entertaining and dynamic games.
Calling him a fraud implies that he was never good or that his success was somehow an accident. Perhaps I’m being too generous, but I think that’s far too harsh a judgment on Naka. One hit wonder or flash in the pan? Yeah. Fraud? Not so much.He's just a talented programmer for a system released 30 years ago and never bothered to improve or learn.
He's a fraud whose been riding that Sonic train for any notoriety.

I can’t really defend the franchise on its artistic merits, but you can’t say that something has persisted for thirty years by accident, and pretending that it’s only legacy fans who are playing the games and watching the movie is delusional.Of course it was an accident. Sonic was (and still is) a silly novelty that only caught on because it was brilliantly marketed at just the right time. Objectively, its basic formula is completely mediocre and has never evolved in any meaningful way for the last 30 years, because enough weirdos who fell in love with it when they were 10 are still buying rehashed Sonic games now at 40.

Rollie the donutche is the best web comic by Christopher-san.I didn't say it's persisted by accident, I said its initial success was, from a design standpoint, an accident. If Yuji Naka had created a talking donut that rolls down hills very fast, we'd be discussing the merits of Rollie the Donut here instead.
Wow, it really was all just loose in a bag, they couldn't even be bothered to put it in a cardboard box with the logo on it or something.Reminder that the limited edition is not even a box, and just a junk in a bag with another bag in it, an artbook that is more screenshots with thank you from the devs,a (to be fair, good looking) pin, the soundtrack and the game.
FOR 130 DOLLARS.

Hazbin Hotel designs are rejected NiGHTS characters, more accurately.Is it just me or does Balan look like a rejected Hazbin Hotel character design?
I mean... if it was released as a mobile game for $9.99, it would've been reviewed pretty positively. Or maybe as an indie title on Itchio.never played it, looked interesting. Is it really that bad?
The Shenmue guy just blatantly saying he's not interested in following current gaming trends was the funniest shit. I hadn't considered it before but I guess it wouldn't be surprising if that's what happened here too.I am also in the same view that Naka just too far from current gaming trends as it happens to a lot of designers and programmers in gaming.
don't look overly designed and monochrome shadeIs it just me or does Balan look like a rejected Hazbin Hotel character design?
Here I thought it over a Sonic R like soundtrack but its the original sonic riders gameplay.I'm boycotting all Yuji Naka games until Sonic R, the greatest and most underrated Sonic game of all time, finally gets its long-deserved sequel.
