>The History Of Sonic: Birth Of An Icon
More like Birth of An Autism amrite?
The Fanbase is autistic, I'll give you that.
But this "I hate Sonic" Fad meme really needs to stop.
People who have never even played the games hate Sonic because it's just the "Cool" thing to do now, and it's really sad.

You mean the birth of >>>/r9k/ rite?

SEGA and Sonic Team deserve it for making shit games and ruining their reputation
>>334602414
It's because SEGA is pants on head retarded. They pushed out Sonic 06, which is unhyperbolically one of the worst games ever made. On top of that, they finally were started to perfect the formula they found with Sonic Unleashed, and they abandoned it to take a step down from it with Lost World, and then ruin it with Boom.
That's only in recent history, too. We can go on to talk about the poor attempts to follow up the Adventure games (which were bad, but for some reason have a following), and even before that how they neglected to release anything but a shitty racing game on the Saturn. They've literally been retarded since the Genesis days ended.
3D World may not have been a great game, but we've never gone a Nintendo console without at least one release of Nintendo's flagship franchise.
The incomprehensible retardation makes it okay.
How long until it becomes a meme to hate all Sonic games?
>>334603310
It's already a meme on /v/
>>334602414
To be fair, every console game between Adventure and Colors was awful in its own way.
>>334603113
>and then ruin it with Boom.
Sega didn't even develop Boom.
>>334603880
It doesn't matter who developed it, they are shaping the franchise with it.
>>334603826
There's nothing wrong with calling out those games for being shit, but now it's gotten to the point where even the genesis trilogy and the advance games are considered shitty just because they have Sonic's name plastered on it. It's a little ridiculous.
>>334602129
aren't we waiting for a new sonic something announcement?
>>334603880
They gave it the ok, gave Big Red Button 20 million, and published it.
>>334604013
>they are shaping the franchise with it.
Technically, Sonic Boom is its own franchise, but I see what you're getting at.
>>334604320
For the past 2-3 years, yeah.
>>334602414

>>334604213
First genesis game isn't great, nor is the third advance game.
>>334604327
If you actually read the original post I was replying to, you'd see that anon was stating that Sega abandoned Unleashed's gameplay with Lost World and further did so again with Boom, which obviously isn't the case since Sega didn't develop Boom and never intended it to be seen as a sequel to Lost World.
Not trying to defend Boom or anything, but there's no need to spread misinformation.
>>334604576
So if something isn't great, it's automatically shitty? I know /v/ is full of teenagers, but there's no real need to maintain such a black and white mentality when it comes to quality.
>>334603113
>and even before that how they neglected to release anything but a shitty racing game on the Saturn.
I mean, X-treme could've been a thing if things didn't go so horribly wrong. Of course, Sonic Team didn't help with focusing on NiGHTS instead of working on a new Sonic.
>>334604683
I'm tired and my brain isn't working. You guys using SEGA instead of Sonic Team fucked me up.
>>334604561
Eww, That guy dresses like it hurts.
I'm >>334602414 by the way.

I don't hate sonic.
I still love sonic.
I am embarrassed and hurt by what sonic has become. I cared about this series, and what both SEGA and the autists have done has offended and upset me on multiple levels.
It justed needed some good games.

On /v/? Yes, yes it does.
>>334603880
>Sonic is all about runnig super fast
