Oh and they've thus far yet to bother explaining the Wisps' presence. Again.

Or Classic's presence, beyond 'oh hey, you're that Sonic from another dimension!' (actual dialogue)

Christ.

Well, it's a retcon so I didn't expect them to explain it. But.. he doesn't just show up, right? Like.. there's a portal he comes out of? Or he just freakin' runs up out of nowhere.

Tries to fix Omega

"I'm sorry I'm not smart enough"

Then cowers before Chaos 0 while screaming for Sonic

This is the worst Tails

What was that about Tails fighting Chaos, or something?

There's a portal.

I still can't get over the fact that Sonic gets tortured. This is one of the stupidest fucking things I've heard in relation to the series and it's not the kind of thing that fits Sonic at all.

My disinterest in the game has pretty much solidified at this point. I'm not going to play Forces. I'm just happy I can save my 40 bucks, and that I can avoid this game like I avoided Shadow and Sonic 2006 and save myself the second-hand embarrassment. Mania gave me what I wanted out of Sonic, which this game is certain to not do, so I'll just wait for Sega to greenlight another game from Taxman.

I mean to be fair, Shadow saw folks get shot up, and then was locked in a government basement for half a century , had his memories manipulated and had the only next of kin he had , cluthulu dragon monsters from space that eat planets and their inhabitants.

I don't like it either

But it ain't the first , 2nd, 3rd or 4th fucked up thing to happen to a character

Yeah, but it fucks up another character (Eggman) to make it happen.

Eggman would kill Sonic in an instant to get him out of his hair (so to speak), but he's not some edgy sadist who'd torture him for months and months just to see him suffer. That's not Eggman's style. He's a pragmatist, through and through, who hurts people as a means to an end, not the end itself.

This game's even ruining Eggman, I can't believe how awful this story is.

No, they explained it. But it makes even less sense.

Also, turns out that the villians, such as Shadow and Zavok, may not be real.

Actually no Zavok is real he even has dialogue later on.

Tails is getting all pretentious and mawkish about not being able to fix Omega - who is just inexplicably lying there in the scene with no explanation and is not addressed at all after this - and then Chaos comes up behind him, he goes 'oh no, Chaos! Help!' (actual dialogue) and then a random portal opens up and Classic comes running out and bops Chaos once, at which point he dissolves.

It's SO bad. The game's complete disinterest in explaining anything or treating these classic villains we're supposed to take seriously with any sort of respect is maddening.

For anyone who is interested in this game, excited for it, or pleased with what's there: cool. But this just ain't for me.

I'm with you. =[ Got very mixed feelings about and not all of it is very positive. Looks like the story isn't all it's meant to be either. Shit.

Will buy preowned from CeX down the line. Four years man, four years. What a waste.

Does he fade away after you battle him, though?

Didn't he save Sonic in the classics at the end of a boss fight IIRC?

No he falls down a hole after Sonic defeats him and even comments "No how can I lose to you again?!"

Yeah well this is Sonic the Hedgehog we're talking about. An iconic character that's been around for over two decades and is adored by children and ex-children alike. You don't fucking add a line like "Eggman tortured Sonic for months" like it's nothing. It doesn't fit the series itself and it sure as hell doesn't fit from any sort of meta perspective.

BUT IT'S SO DARK AND EDGY AND EGGMAN KREWL.

Well shit, step away from the computer for a while and I miss everything. Can someone give me a quick rundown of what got shown off? There's a fight with Zavok, some edgy bullshit, and apparently Tails sucks hardcore, and...?

Yeah alright

So, my favorite thing so far is Sonic's dialogue. On point and funny. Best interpretation.

My least favorite thing is Tails. I'd take whiny Lost World Tails over this.

Eh, I don't know. If shadow is the real shadow, or a copy shadow, he has to have the real shadow locked up somewhere or mind controlled. Which is torture, unless infinites powers are so fast it doesn't matter where the original is, he can just make copies. And if he could do that, why not the plot be about infinite making false copies of other characters instigating shit. Then again that could be his powers because sega and local story telling are like oil and water. 

Also in shadows game, he was ready to convince the real shadow he was an android to convince him to serve under his command, so yeah that's also fucked up. And while not exactly torture, that's mental abuse

He also created robots that ran on animals as power sources, which is torture

He also creating robots to hunt down and capture specific people, which if you look at it from a certain angle is torture

He does fade away in the cutscene immediately following the fight. Sonic shrugs it off.

At the very least, they got Sonic down at least. Him and Knuckles are on point so far, which makes me happy.

I don't really see an issue with Tails feeling bad about not being able to fix Omega...?

Him not fighting and the fear of Chaos is silly as hell and I don't like it either, but that's nothing new for post-'06 Tails, lol.

Tails is a bitch, Sonic saves him. Infinite kicks his ass, gets captured. Tails bitches some more, Classic shows up and saves him. Eggman's  takeover is show through text boxes. Avatar saves Sonic from Space station. Zavok boss fight, then Infinite boss fight.
