You know, this has been bugging me. I've been arguing with this Sonic fanboy about recent sonic games, and he's all lovey dovey about them. I basically argued that Sonic was better when he was 2-D and wasn't all about the story. He's arguing that the story is amazing and that Sonic doesn't need to be about speed, though earlier argued that Sonic was the fastest thing alive.
Today, he said that "only real sonic fan's appreciate the story".
Excuse me?
Real Sonic fans?
Last I could tell the real Sonic fans were getting more and more disapointed with every game that comes out. "Sonic's revival" is always promised but never comes. It's almost like the next time Sonic has a good game, it will also be the second coming of Jesus.
Now granted, I'm not a fan of all the recent games. I owned up to Sonic Heroes and said "Done!". I didn't play Shadow the Hedgehog but I lived with people who owned it, so I saw much of it. I'm not even gunna both with any other games, despite how many people will like it, unless it's on the DS.
But to say I'm not a real Sonic fan, because I think Shadow the Hedgehog was a good character until they had to bring him back to life? Wow, that's arrogant.
I guess I should take my ringtone off of Emerald Hill zone theme then, since you know; I'm not a real Sonic fan.
This is why I never want to have kids.

I'm one of those passive fans. I don't like the shit SEGA's spewed lately, in fact usually accepting fans' takes on it instead now. The fans have run away with it, in fact, it's completely out of SEGA's control to try to get him back.
Sanchu Says:
but with your own kids you can raise them to be smart, his parents are just depressed cause their son's gay.
But yea... I like all sonic but um... ORIGINAL BABY!! We're true fans cuz we be old schoolers ya know what I'm saying? it's eggman not robotnic damnit... damn youngins. Keep true yo.

Back in the '90s, I bought all of my games used. I had no booklets, so I didn't know what the hell was going on. I was Sonic, I had to kill robots, and I had to beat Ivo Robotnik's ass into the Mobian dirt.
End. Of. Story.
Oh and rings and chili dogs kept me alive.
Fuck "Eggman." Fuck the story. Fuck physical depth. I just want to go fast and kick ass. Loop some loops. Beat some 'bots. Beat Ro-butt-nik. Save the animals. Badabing, badaboom, y'done, son.
