Sonic Lost World Review RAGE

Okay, first things first, the title is misleading. I haven't played Sonic Lost World yet and I'm not talking bad about the game. What I am raging about is the critic reviews this game seems to be getting. According to gaming critics, Sonic Lost World has good mechanics and wonderful designs and everything. However, the second half of the game is frustrating, enemies keep slowing you down, and the walls get pretty annoying.... So let me get this straight. You're saying the game is bad because it's A SONIC GAME?! For the love of god how stupid can you get?! Of course the second half will probably get frustrating. GAMES GET HARDER OVER TIME!! That's happen in...I don't know...EVERY GAME IN EXISTENCE!!!! The whole thing about enemies slowing you down, that's happened in EVERY SONIC GAME!!!! Even the spawn of satan game that is Sonic '06. That's the purpose of the enemies and traps; TO TRY TO SLOW YOU DOWN!! And it is the job of the gamer to get the fastest time possible with these obstacles in your way. And of course what pisses me off the most is their complaints on the walls. I get it; the main purpose of sonic is to go as fast as you can to clear the stage. Um... do you people (the critics not you guys) not also remember that...oh I don't know...EVERY SONIC GAME IS CLASSIFIED AS A PLATFORMER!!!! Of course there are going to be walls that you have to climb over and stuff to progress. Hell, they added the parkour in an attempt to make that process faster. There are going to be platforming puzzles. THEY'VE BEEN IN EVERY SONIC GAME TO DATE!! I've also heard some people say that the parkour  gets repetitive. HELLO?! A PLATFORMER!!! (In all honesty the reason this isn't a video is because I feel like I'll get kicked off youtube because I will be shouting every swear word in the book and I don't need angry parents on my ass). They even complained about the story, but in all honesty, I don't think a lot of gamers play sonic games for the story. It's been the same in every game: Eggman or some other villian is trying to take over the world with an army of some kind (mostly a robotic army) and it's up to Sonic to stop them. Ever since Sonic '06 came out, which we can all agree was a dark time for the world of video games, critics have given sonic nothing but grief. Here's some advice. STOP COMPARING FUTURE SONIC GAMES TO GAMES OF THE PAST LIKE ADVENTURE AND ADVENTURE 2. THESE ARE NOT THOSE GAMES!!! Every Sonic game is different, which is why I love the series (Hell Sonic is what got me into video games in the first place). So some of the games will not be as good as the games from the past, but that does not mean that you give it such a bad review. I can't wait to get my hands on Sonic Lost world for myself so I can give my own opinion on it.  I will see for myself if the game is bad or not. I'm not writing this because I'm a Sonic fan that's angry that a sonic game got a bad review. I know when a game is pure shit. I admit there are some pretty bad sonic games,  but the stuff they are complaining about makes no damn sense.  Phew...I need to calm down. I think I've raged enough for today.

Pokemon X and Y.....So beautiful

As all of you know, Pokemon X and Y just came out yesterday. This pokemon game introduces new graphics for the series, new pokemon (of course), and a new pokemon type and I must say....this game is pure BEAUTY!!! The graphics look amazing!! I know a couple of people were nervous about the 3D graphics in a pokemon game, but Game Freak knew what they were doing and the game looks absolutely beautiful. Now I want to talk about our protagonist....you.... The fact you can now customize your character just amazes me every time. For years now we were stuck with the same sprite in every game now matter what. Everyone's was the same. Now we can create our own character and I must say I have a lot of fun with it. Now another I want to mention is a lot of throw backs in the game. You will come across certain situations that will remind you of the first generation pokemon games. And the rumors are true people, in this game you pick two starters!! After a while in your journey, you will meet up with the professor in the came and after some events, you are offered to pick one out of the FIRST GEN STARTERS!!! Veterans of the game are sure to love this. Now, I don't want to spoil every new feature in the game, especially one that happens after you beat the first gym, so you're going to have to find that out on your own ;). Now I want to get to the main starters of the game. I picked Feniken because it just looked so freakin awesome and I know that Froakie (srry if I'm misspelling the names guys DX) got a lot of grief because of how it looked when the game was announced, but I'm telling you the evolved forms make up for that in a big way. I also encourage everyone that before january, pick up your free torchick!! It holds a Megastone and you will eventually get Mega Blazeikin. (God I suck at spelling Pokemon names). Speaking of which, I have yet to see a Mega Evolution, so I can't say anything about that yet. I also have a warning for you guys. This game is LONG!! I mean longer than usual for a pokemon game. You see....I think I went by six towns before I reached the second gym. It took me FOREVER to get there. Right now I'm basically at the third gym which did take me a short amount of time but seriously I'm at the third gym and I'm almost a level 30 for some of my pokemon and 40 for others. Anyway wrapping things up, Pokemon X and Y is an amazing game. For Veterans, you'll love all of the throw back and how the game has evolved over the years. For newcomers, this is a great place to start you adventure and experience what those who played the first pokemon games experienced....speaking of which I still need to watch Pokemon origins... Anyway, those are my thoughts. Voice of a Gamer signing out.
