[Multiplatform] SONIC UNLEASHED - FURFAG FANSERVICE

Hmm, perhaps Sega can redeem the hedgehog after all, it seems to be playing more like the old good games rather then the newer stuff.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Contradiction much? You SHOULD care about if it plays like the classics, because the core gameplay is what is most important about these games. Lukage made a good point: Sonic games are platformers with laid out sections of high speed velocity and gliding along rails. Prior to the SONICWULF thing I had high hopes for this, because it seems to be going back to what was important in the series, the core gameplay mechanics.

But here you say you DON'T care if it plays anything like the classics. Well if I'm judging the GAMEPLAY of the classics (Sonic 1-3 & S&K) versus the newer Entries (Post Sonic Adventure) then you'd be blind to ignore the fundamental change in how the game handles itself.

As far as the additions not core to the gameplay, that's an aspect which ANY fandom can and will bitch about: STORY and CHARACTERS are very important to the overall experience. Let me say that twice so that it gets properly emphasized: STORY and CHARACTERS are very important to the overall experience. In these video-games Gameplay DOES come first, but also in these video-games, as well as traditional mediums of expression, such as Books, Movies, and TV Shows, the Story and Characters (I know I'm saying this a third time but bear with me) they are all are important. They are all parts which come together to make a full Media Experience.

So what is the Story of Sonic?

"Sonic is a blue hedgehog, the fastest one alive. He is on a mission to stop Dr. Robotnik from getting the 7 Chaos Emeralds. Dr. Robotnik plans to use the 7 Emeralds to take over the world, and Sonic will use his speed and cunning attitude to stop this plan. Sonic will also be assisted from time to time by two companions: Knuckles the Echinda, who is the latest in a line of protectors of the Jewels, and Tails the Fox, a childhood friend of Sonic who tags along with him on his mission."

There, that's the entire plot condensed down. All the rest that has been tacked on, including new characters, convulsed & confusing plots, with unneeded gimmicks (Everything from a 'Metal Sonic' to suddenly not being on Mobius and now being on Earth to suddenly introducing GUNS are all examples of this) are just the kind of things which really made the potential of the games less then what it could be, and it ALL drags down the series. If you do not care that Sonic is now suddenly a Werewolf and the gameplay has been reduced to "Press A to go forward" then perhaps you should go replay the first or second Sonic games for a while. Really, go download Sonic on the 360 Arcade or Wii Virtual Console or download the ROM and play the game for a while.

Then, come back and tell me that you don't care that Sonic has one more uneeded gimmick and that Sonic no longer defeats enemies and meanders about a stage by moving along a rail all day long.
I'm confident you won't be able to.

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

I admit I got a bit too serious with my last post, so that link you provided was a nice breather. I'm still not holding my breath on this until E3 at least.

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