[General Discussion] Sonic turned 15

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a big sonic fan, but I'm pissed off in a similar way to all the other old schoolers here (although I confess I found parts of sonic rush to be 'cool' GASP!). The last game I played through was shadow the hedgehog although that made me crack up how one minute they'd try to be hardcore then the next you could just imagine where the censor had stepped in,

Spoiler:

if you were still playing by the end boss and heard the speech about everyone dying from gas poisoning you'll know what I mean...

As for this new xbox 360 sonic game looks like some kind of frecking final fantasy sonic crossover! With a dash of shadow part2 I guess -_-

Am I the only one who's noticed on the later games especially on nintendo that the levels (like most on sonic advance 3) look more like something out of a mario game? While we're on the subject of Mario I think SEGA for some reason at about sonic adventure 1 felt they needed to make sonic talk to compete with mario64 and also make him sound 'cooler' when they done the complete opposite >.>

Lastly going a little fanboy here I'm amused no-one's even tried mentioning the now totally fucked up game storyline! What is there now 10 alternative story arcs? -_-

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's hard to say exactly what causes the mario comparison it's a lot of little things I guess like those tiny crumbeling platform parts or the games where you only spin using a seperate button even on a jump, I wasn't saying it's bad it just seemed out of character from the series (then again so was the "lolz! I have big gunzzz!!!).

Also don't mistake me as completly into only the 2D games and having read every story ever made, because they're quite frankly not worth the effort, all the different storys just make whatever storyline there was pretty much redundant every time a new wave of games get brought out. I just feel if they're going for the fmv crap they should try and keep some kind of history going, what's left of sega in it's attempts to keep sonic 'cool' just seems to keep rewriting everything about the universe but the core gameplay.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow... o_o those last 2 posts were so true and that's not even going into stuff like what nationality knuckles theme music is supposed to be. I think you just killed the thread between you or at least added fuel to a flamewar...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

lol I seriously hope you're wrong Sonic already gets mocked for it's quite obvious link with dbz with the 7 gems and turning gold... or was it 14 going by S&K? I bet even sega doesn't know any more

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
