Stop blaming the fandom for SONIC 2006

Oh yes, the favorite excuse of the typical SONIC The Hedgehog 2006 defender/white-knighter; Blaming the fans for SOMEHOW putting stress on SEGA to release the game earlier. Utilizing the Sonic fandom's chew toy status in order to shift culpability from the real culprits behind the game turning out the way it did.

Entirely 100% pure unadulterated bullshit of course.

The only ones to blame for the way the game turned out are SEGA. It was proven that they fired the bug testers before any substantial degree of bug testing had been performed and that the game was rushed out in the interests of generating christmas sales.

The funny thing is though, even if the fans WERE culpable for '06's sheer badness (Which I'll reiterate that they aren't), this is a hilariously pathetic attempt at glossing-over the game's shortcomings because practically everything about this game is horrible. From the plothole-filled mess that is the plot to the extremely ugly visuals and character models to the absolutely awful level design and gameplay to the poor excuse of a main villain (Mephiles) and the way that Sonic himself was turned into an incompetent buttmonkey of a non-entity who has no true relevance to the story except to be used as Silver's whipping boy and expendable catalyst. Do I even need to state the copious bugs and glitches and the removed features, some of which even being elaborated-upon in the game's manual and which were stated before release?

About the only good things in the game that feel intentional and not just “so bad it’s good” are Blaze’s levels and the soundtrack. I especially like White Acropolis’s theme.
