User blog:WaterKirby1994/Why Generations Shouldn't Have Been Praised

For almost 7 years Sonic Generations has been overpraised & overrated, when it shouldn't have been. The excess praise for Generations is why Forces has Classic Sonic playable to begin with, so if you don't like how he plays in Forces you should realize the cause was the fanbase itself. Personally I thought Classic fit better in Forces than Generations thanks to the Avatar Hero you could create taking a much larger role throughout the game.

Now for the reasons Generations itself wasn't that good, take a look at the level design & compare each level to the original counterparts. The actual levels chosen weren't the best fit to be mashed up into 1 game & the game itself was too short. Modern City Escape looks much too blurry, not nearly as good as the version appearing in SA2, the Truck itself was over emphasized on both the Classic & Modern versions overall.

The boss fight against Perfect Chaos was poorly done, it doesn't even stay true to the canon, it's as though Perfect Chaos isn't even really trying seeing as he put up a better fight against Super Sonic. Assuming Super Forms are like Super Saiyans from DBZ, Sonic would be 50x stronger in his Super Form. The story of Adventure actually went & said that it would be a hopeless battle to try to fight Chaos without a Superform.

The Story was very poorly done, oh & there were plenty of things that could have been done which weren't. We could have gotten playable characters who weren't Sonic, although we were just given 2 Sonics. Vanilla could have been in the story easily with a minor role by having brought the cake to the party with Cream, Fang could have actually been in the story as a rival. Mighty could have easily taken the place of Classic Sonic, there was more wasted potential in Gens than any other Sonic Game.

Awesome Boss Choices for Generations that aren't in the game would include Mecha Sonic, Egg Viper, Egg Golem, Black Doom, & Egg Wyvern. A more Mania styled game would have been far more enjoyable, we could have gotten Metal Harbor with elements of Huge Crisis thrown in. Fanmade Content is the only thing that makes Gens worth getting, as the levels & character mods that fans release for Gens add far more replayability to a game that would get boring fast normally.

Overall I have to say I actually preferred 06 over Gens, at least 06 had an awesome story. Sonic Forces shouldn't be disrespected by fans who would praise Generations, as Forces has far more replay value & is overall far more enjoyable a game than Generations. Time Eater was lame, Infinite is awesome. Forces really added to the Sonic series & was innovative, while Gens was a poorly made rehash, if you want a better mashup go play Sonic Mania, or the fangame Sonic World. So overall Gens isn't deserving of the praise it gets, & I realize I'm in the minority for not being a blind fan of Generations.
