Yea, not just Shadow, everyone's voices seem to fluctuate depending on the game. I guess it's especially jarring for Shadow if you grew up on...
No amount of well crafted video game mechanics will ever appeal to a Sonic fan the way seeing him fighting against kaijus as Super Sonic will....
Sonic's never really had a set visual identity, which is good or bad depending on how you feel about it. But I suppose you can't really pigeonhole...
It's why I hate the metanarratives of this series that are so prominent in this fanbase. Everyone talks about "potential" unless it's something...
The timeline is admittedly less of a concern of mine, than the games being good. Especially with all of the lore changes as of late.
I guess I feel like you could do so much more with the brand besides just using it as a vehicle to sell merch, but then Sonic as a whole hasn't...
See and I don't like that line of thinking, because it makes Classic feel like less of a valid alternative to Modern and more as just a means to...
Superstars might be about as far as you can go and that's part of my point. If Classic can't go too far without "going as far as Advance or Rush."...
No, it is not. The modern games have drifted completely from what the Classic games were. It's why they even made the Classic series to begin...
There was a time when Classic Sonic was allowed to do new and exciting things and pushed things forward because it wasn't hampered by needing to...
I mean he is right that there's only so much you can do with Classic since no matter what happens, it has to take place before Adventure. It puts...
I think up until Heroes, things were fairly consistent, but yea it just kind of fell off a cliff after that. No argument there. I think the main...
I do see current Amy for what she is; they want her to be portrayed as a positive role model who grew beyond her original role as a girl who...
See, you're laser focused on her "bad" portrayals and comparing her current version to that. I've acknowledged her bad parts already, I don't...
This is preaching to the choir. Mascot platformers have been falling out of favor with the general public since the 2000s and the rise of MMOs and...
I was speaking more along the lines of putting current Amy into those same exact scenarios as back then. Sure, I'd accept it as character growth...
I wouldn't really say that. For one, Amy in the Adventure games wasn't even really treated as part of the team and treated more like a tagalong....
Look at like this. This series has a dozen action heroes who can all fight. But how many characters were like Amy in the context of Sonic itself?...
I would never say that I particularly liked Amy back in the 2000s, for all of the reasons outlined, but I don't think the solution to that was to...
Those characters have also been severely toned down compared to the decades they debuted, so it's really not just Sonic. It's just something that...
