All I can say is that the gameplay is a step up from SC, but that's it, the content still sucks given this is the garbage Boom universe. I'll wait to see what the sells were.

Considering how the Boom games are the worst selling Sonic games and most of the shit going against TMNT has nothing to do quality but the damn FPS, I doubt it. Even if the hype was turned off for TMNT, AFTER it's release, NOBODY but a select group of Sonic fanboys were ever hyped for Boom, so it's not even possible to go the other way around, like, not by a long shot.

Also, despite that Out of the Shadows was better received, like MiM, it also got mixed reviews, most of the negative reviews being about the online features, not the entire package itself. Overall both TMNT games had far less going against them then Boom did.

I heard some news from E3 2016 that prefectly sane and rational people who disliked or outright HATED the original Sonic Boom game were okay with Fire and Ice. And after all, it's a Sonic game. Even if it wasn't Boom of course people would be antagonistic to it.

People alos like Shattered Crystal more then Rise of Lyric and SC still flopped harder then any recent Sonic game, so what people like and dislike holds little water if nobody is buying the game in question. While I don't know how the TMNT games sold, most people's issues with them were pretty minor, which I already brought up what the complaints were before.

Thankfully, even if this game isn't too successful (which isn't too big of a loss since it's a licensed game), the cartoon was still successful in its first season due to surprisingly high ratings across televisions worldwide (not just the US) and attracting both children and adult fans who love the show genuinely and unironically.

Sorry but I never saw any proof that Sonic Boom was doing well, it's only, again, someone saying it is and not providing any numbers. I looked up the ratings for the new TMNT cartoon and it said right on it's wiki it got over 3 million views on it's premier, yet with Sonic Boom, we only got a numbers on adults, they never said anything about children, and claims of ratings going up only after the show started airing in other countries. What numbers that were shown on were changing from high to low, and only one time did the numbers actually seem decent.

Unless Sonic Boom got anywhere close to TMNT on it's premier, it can't be called a success, especially if you have to account for the entire season in comparison to just a premier.

You know that less and less people watch TV nowadays due to digital media, right? Even popular cartoons like Steven Universe hardly get more than two million viewers, and TMNT usually gets 1.5 million or less, and its Internet fanbase has become far less vocal since the first two seasons, possibly due to certain elements making people lose interest, despite younger fans and less vocal adult fans still watching the show.

And besides, Sonic Boom is making as much money as it needs to, since it doesn't run too heavily on trying to make a fortune or be a masterpiece (which its hatedom tends to ignore), and that the premiere episode had about 1.15 million viewers (a surprisingly large chunk being the 18-49 demographic) and the show has continually ranked no lower than #2 in its timeslot, despite the fact that few people would be awake at 7:00am and that Cartoon Network has given the show minimal advertising or support in favor of giving more attention to reruns of Teen Titans Go! (Which as of the past three years has been given such a significant portion Cartoon Network's schedule to the point that in late 2015 up to 64% of weekly airtime was taken up by it.)

While the finale only had about 691,000 viewers, the justification for this is because the episode premiered around the same time as the ISIL attack on Paris and thus people were more focused on its coverage.

And according to what I heard from popular and respected Sonic fan, journalist and supporter SSF1991 ("SonicSegaFan1991"/"Donnie") in around mid-to-late spring 2016 on his Twitter account, reruns of Sonic Boom had higher ratings than new episodes of Cartoon Network's soft reboot of The Powerpuff Girls, a show which was given a safer weekday late afternoon timeslot, had only recently premiered, and was given much more advertising.

As for the spin-off comics, Ian Flynn stated that they were doing just fine, but were likely cancelled in late-summer 2015 due to Archie Comics' (which has only about 0.5% market share of the comics industry) recent financial issues of the past few years (which could also be the reason that Mega Man is on indefinite hiatus), as evidenced by their motive to give hard reboots and relaunches of their main Archie titles.

And just to be clear, SEGA likely didn't expect Sonic Boom to do spectacularly in games, as even before they were released SEGA only expected 600,000 copies (reduced to 300,000 around the fall) to be sold of each game, which for a licensed video game isn't too large. And the major restructuring and 180 layoffs of SEGA of America two months after the games' release in January 2015 all the way to April was just something that was coming for a long time due to how large it was and how these kinds of decisions would be devised likely years in advance of being in any way executed (and because SEGA had a restructuring in 2012 as well). And besides, Aliens: Colonial Marines, another SEGA title which was relatively new at that time, was a game that sold over 1.6 million copies by SEGA's fiscal report of Q1 2015, so it wasn't a complete failure.

I don't know much about the toys, but as said by Stephen Frost, a SEGA employee and producer of the Sonic Boom games who was laid off in January 2015 (and apologized for some of the games' issues around the following March), they seem to be doing at least enough.

I'm sorry but much of what I'm seeing here still isn't telling me Sonic Boom is successful, just circumstances and other subjects that has nothing to do with it, and the best number you could give me didn't even go over one million. It's only a success because Sega or whoever else says so or projected a lower number for their budget, not an actual or legit success. Also, your source is from Sonic Stadium or TSSZ right? Yeah, that's a news site run by shills who'll say anything positive about recent Sonic products and far from credible if they aren't posting actual data.

Oh, and about Powerpuff Girls, sorry, but let's try not to gloss over the fact that it sucked according to almost everyone who watched it, and I highly doubt PPG has as big of a fanbase as Sonic has now since it's been gone for so long while Sonic was still around.

About the TMNT fanbase being vocal, how in the world do you even know it has anything to do with interest or views? You have nothing to back it up, and being less vocal means less interest? The TMNT fanbase has nothing on Sonic when it comes to being vocal, yet Sonic hasn't seen notable success in anything since Generations and nobody can produce numbers on Boom. I find this logic highly inaccurate, and seems to only be and assumption. Even then, at least TMNT had over 1 millions views at least twice, the second time to my knowledge being what you just told me, yet I've never heard of Boom surpassing that number, at least not before going worldwide, but even that's pathetic given that Sonic's biggest audience was always here in the states.

Oh man, you had to ask. I can';t even take that question seriously because I feel anyone who watches the show and has to ask why someone else doesn't like clearly has no idea about Sonic, that's just how it is. The best way to sum it up is the that the entire project is a joke, and it makes one of gaming biggest icons, look like a joke. Sonic content has looked nothing like Boom since AOSTH and even that was better due to the fact that Sonic still displayed attitude and Robotnik, as retarded as he was in that, still at least tried to be a villain, not the current Eggman who sought to sue Sonic by faking an injury, and the townsfolk were actually on his side despite Sonic saving them from Eggman multiple times. Of course, I thought the show was a garbage as soon as the showed the interview for it after the WiiU trailer came out and we heard some of the lines. Evil Ham? "I'm like a fortune cookie but I don't taste like one".

If that's not enough to convince anyone this shit stain is a joke, then I guess it can't be helped, just refrain from trying to tell me it's good or make flawed attempts at justifying it, because it's getting old having to explain this to grown ass people over the internet.

Look, I'll admit it. I enjoy Sonic Boom as a show to relax and just get a good laugh. And I was a Sonic fan for four years prior to its release, so I know Boom just as much as I know Sonic. For me, it's simple, it's fun, it's eleven minutes of a work that doesn't need to worry about itself, there's some things that'll attract Sonic fans such as action sequences or hidden mythology gags, and folks who just like tongue-and-cheek-humor may find it rather rewatchable. And a lot of other people, regardless of what they thought of Sonic before, like it too. And I'm not some retarded fanboy because I do.

It's not a joke, it's not some sort of evil hex or poison to the Sonic franchise, it's not hurting anyone, and it's been a spin-off since day one, so why is it so bad, and not just bad for you? Can't you just accept that if you don't like it you don't need to rub it into other people's faces like sandpaper? Or are you so biased and hate-filled that any human being–including me–that enjoys Sonic Boom unironically is just a mindless twit to you? Yeah, because you know quality when you—a person with completely unique experiences, traits, interests and a viewpoint, with nothing of what other people have—see it and nobody can tell you otherwise, right?

Quality, humor, all of that is and always will be subjective. For instance, I don't like Sonic Underground at all. I don't care or know if you do or if you don't, but considering how there are perfectly well-adjested people that do, including a relatively close friend of mine that I know, trust and respect in real life, I have no power to tell them that they're wrong or stupid.

So what kind of power do you have to declare that Sonic Boom is awful? Why do you need to constantly attack it like a disease or villainous practice? Why can't you just take a look at it and say "it exists" and just move on? Is it because it's so bad that it'll kill what's important? Or is it because you have issues that you just need to vent out through the Internet because you keep forgetting that there are actual fucking human beings behind that fucking screen who have their own personal fucking opinions? You wanna see how bad chastising people and their tastes is seen as? Go to Google and search IGN and Sonic in the same sentence. You'll be surprised at what you'll find.

I can't believe I had to tell all this to a "grown-ass person". But considering how you're the stunning image of a typical Internet blowhard, you really aren't one, are you?

Yup, went right down that road every Boom fanboy goes down. Boom doesn't get the praise it doesn't deserve and a giant speech filled with bullshit is made. Also, another repeat of not actually defending the show and going after with shit like "So what kind of power do you have to declare that Sonic Boom is awful?", despite practically anyone having the power to say this about Sonic any other time, but when the start making him like garbage, all of a sudden, this imaginary power is called into question.

At least I already knew talking to you would be a waste of time, just like any Boom tard. Feel free to stick to your show, but please stop trying to defend it on the internet if you really feel the need to say "Quality, humor, all of that is and always will be subjective.", yeah, no shit shirlock, that applies to everything, but most people don't have to say that to defend something that's actually good. And you're still asking what makes this a joke to me(and you bolded that shit), when I just told you. This is why I made my comment earlier about having to say this to grown-ass people, and you really sat there and copied it, only showing how desperate you are to tell me off. lol

Not from what I've seen. Fast paced action gameplay, the main character making jokes is the designated joker and they aren't stale, and the story actually takes itself seriously.

Well I've played the game and I've seen a lot of people who have the same thoughts as me. The game gets very repetitive after a while and it's very short for a $40 game. The story's fine (It' probably better than the upcoming movie's plot) but still I think Platinum could have made a much better title if they made it longer and added more variety to it. If you still want to try it out then more power to you, I'd just recommend either renting the game or waiting for a price drop.

Well I'm not one to badly judge a game for being repetitive or short if it's fun. Also, it's not like Platinum only makes AAA titles, check Madworld and Anarchy Reigns, and Mutants in Manhatten wasn't a AAA title, I knew that already, especially since it's 40$. Now, if those are the only problems, and BTW, I've seen good things about this game as well, then it can't really be that bad of a game, or at all.

First off, sorry to hear about your bro.

About what you asked, I have a hard time believing you don't know why the show, the whole franchise in fact, is hated. Form what you've said, you had words with other people who dislike Boom, but did it occur to you to read or ask why it's hated?

In any case, for one, many people hate the new designs, mainly Sonic and Knuckles, Knuckles for my personally. The entire series was already being turned into a comedy, and Boom went even further (outside of RoL from what I heard), especially with making Knuckles a complete retard, throwing Shadow and Metal Sonic in and doing nothing with them, and turning Eggman into an even bigger joke then what he already was. Boom basically took everything many people hated in the direction Sonic has been going tone wise since Colors, and made it all worse. What also makes it bad is that the people who bitched about almost everything Sonic related are the main ones defending Boom. You might enjoy the show yourself, and many others, but there's a reason Boom fans are called out of their names, especially when they try to damage control it like there's nothing wrong, but again, they can still bitch about almost anything beforehand.

When it comes down to it, Boom was used once again to pander to the people in the fanbase who aren't even Sonic fans, but Sega will keep claiming it's for kids when kids never asked for it, adults on the internet did, and most of them were Nintendo fanboys. Boom is garbage no matter how you look at it, the games sold worse then any other Sonic game, and Sega chooses to push this on us. As for the meme, I compared Boom to TMNT because while TMNT also changed, they did turn them into a complete joke, and the show is still centered around action and the comedy isn't as childish and overbearing as it is in Boom. You can tell just by looking at their new game based on the comics, that it's doing almost the same thing Sonic Boom did, but much better programmed.

Dynasty Warriors really isn't the best series to base something on, it often gets repetitive and drawn out, though the Gundam games and the second Fist of the Northstar SW games were pretty good. Also, that series is a hack'n slash. Something more like the new TMNT game's mechanics, added with a better version of what Boom tried to do would work.
