Wow, for a moment there in your post I actually thought you gave a ****
I don't know if you even READ what I wrote. I did in fact say Sonic06 was a bad game, so I don't know what you're arguing about in the first part lol

As for the rest,
"PROFESSIONAL GAME REVIEWERS WHO **** PLAY GAMES FOR A LIVING AND SHOULD KNOW MORE ABOUT GAMES THAN YOU EVER **** THOUGHT ABOUT"

Either you are a "professional" game reviewer and as so I don't know why the **** you are here.
Or you aren't and I don't know what the **** you're complaining about.

You see, I don't give two **** about what these "professionals" say. I play the games. After I play them, I then get MY OWN conclusions.

Your post made me further believe that you have played recent Sonic games with a already preconceived idea and didn't even bother trying to like it, or that you haven't played them AT ALL and are just basing your arguments on the "professionals".

"But having fun has a general standard, and that's what gaming reviews generally try to achieve."
Unfortunately, that's what they SHOULD try to achieve. As we all know, reviewers these days pay waaaay too much attention to tech stuff than the actual experience itself.

"And dammit, you can eat a plate of **** and think it's good, but it'll still be ****"
I think that metaphor is curious. Who gets to name whatever is on the plate as **** The "professionals"? If so, I still don't give a ****, cause it's some delicious '****'.
I rather eat **** that tastes like lobster than a lobster that tastes like **** Catch my drift? And I **** love lobster.

How much points do I get in "Pictionary" for a big old **** YOU'? ;)

Don't even bother replying if you're not going to express you own opinion on the subject. If I'd want to ear your jibba jabba **** I'd go to some "professional" website.
