Seriously why. Sonic and the Black Knight was the last one and it was also the last time you could beat the final boss to a kickaas buttrock theme song. Why don't we have this anymore?

Sonic and the Black Knight was the last one

I'm assuming you've memory-holed Sonic Forces. Sonic Frontiers' music fits too, it was a different genre, but 100% the same soul.

But I do miss Crush 40. Apparantly there's a lawsuit between them and Sega and accusations of being underpaid, so that relationship doesn't seem to have ended well.

    I played like five hours of Forces, and per my other comment

    The corollary to this is that all of the vocal themes for the games of the 2010s are almost universally bad......... Sega why...

    I keep hearing about Frontiers but it's not a 2010s Sonic game and also doesn't have a kickass intro. I'm ready for it to be cool though. I recall the lawsuit, I thought it got settled at some point but yea we're never getting Johnny Gioeli again are we

    Oh, so you beat the game!

    Bit of an aside but "make your deviantart sonic oc real" is such a slam dunk great idea and I still can't believe sonic team fucked it up as badly as they did.

    Yea...........

    To me Forces is the end of a trilogy comprised of it, Colours and also Lost World, which, there are game elements of Lost World I like but holy shit why are these games so drained of charm??? Like what happened to the studio that used to make Shadow the Hedgehog and stuff??
