Sonic Team is going to keep pushing out garbage.
Sonic mania wasn't tainted by sonic team so it doesn't really fall into this cycle. We'll have to see how sonic forces plays out

It's been broken since Unleashed. It wasn't even a thing anyways, the Sonic Cycle has just been a cycle created by cynics fags who have hated sonic since it stopped being a 2D series.
The people who will say it's broken because of Mania are only saying that because they're retards who never cared about the franchise beyond any 2D games.
It was never a reality in the first place.

But Sonic Mania is what Sonic fans have been begging for for ages, instead of something nobody asked for.

Neither was Sonic Boom so how come people like to count that game as part of shitting on Sonic? You can't have it only one way.

Except Sonic fans are divided. Sonic Mania was a blessing for old-school fans of the series, but the dreamcastfags and modernfags could've give less of a shit. You can NEVER, I repeat, NEVER please Sonic fans.

Nah, the cycle will always be applicable for shit that Sonic Team makes, considering they still haven't made a truly near-flawless game. We don't even know if Sega is going to be keeping taxman around.

It broke a while ago with Colors, then started to settle into a new one with Lost World. We'll see if Forces breaks it or continues it.
>Mania does well.
>Forces does shit.
>Sonic Team BTFO by some gaijins.
>they never allow another game like Mania to happen ever again.
