“That’ll teach you all to get so excited”
With each honor or near honor, there will be dishonor. Compared to years past, being on a list of “The Year in Disappointments” doesn’t seem so bad. That’s until you consider Sonic 4: Episode I, once thought by many fans to be Sonic’s great 2D revival, receives that dubious honor from Kotaku.com.
Though the piece is written by Luke Plunkett, this appears to be a group decision, with the qualifier that “these aren’t the worst things in gaming for 2010.” In bestowing the honor, they did manage to get a Sonic Cycle plug in:
Sonic fans, those loyal enough to have stood by the blue hedgehog after years of abuse, have been saying forever that all the world needed was another “proper” Sonic game. No more 3D, no more werehogs, no more kissing. Just Sonic, 2D gameplay and some gold rings.In 2010, those fans got exactly what they asked for. And it was…yeah. Not so great. That’ll teach you all to get so excited you ignore the “Sonic Cycle”!
Other titles in Kotaku’s bunch include Final Fantasy XIII, Medal of Honor, and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.

A bit harsh, but you got the point across.
@Vulpine
It works both ways. When we single out the negatives, we also single out the positives. While we complained about the Werehog in Unleashed, we also praised the daytime sections, which is why we got an entire game using that concept. Now think about it. We’re all trashing the physics and such, but praising the fact that despite everything, SEGA went back and started making 2D titles again. Now, based on the path that SEGA’s taking now (you know, listening to our whining), don’t you think that they’ll take the hint, and fix the physics, while retaining the 2D gameplay? Like I said, it works both ways. We praise as much as we complain (assuming there’s actually something to praise), and because of that, the franchise is improving.
Congratulations, Vulpine. Your never-ending goal to infect your Sonic faggotry on all of us has dragged this comment section out to over 100 comments. You must be proud of yourself.
Just do what Andre says, please.
@krazeeKidd102
You contributed 2 meaningless comments yourself, dude. -_-
Just sayin’.
So not looking forward to the inevitable reply to Andre.
@Andre
You’re so darn cruel. Don’t ever tell me to die or shove something up my butt. That is wrong and not nice to say. You would get arrested by the security and end up in prison if you said those things in public. Don’t do that.
My points of view are not upside down. I just happen to like some underrated things, which includes the modern Sonic games, and liking some of the more obscure or underrated games does not make me bad. I may like ‘successful’ games such as the Super Smash Bros. series, but I also like underrated games like Sonic 2006. Of course, Sonic 2006 is not the only Sonic game I like. I may like the classic games but I also like the new games, as I said before. There is no crime in that, so stop blaming me for liking games you can’t stand.
Everyone has opinions whether we like or not. Everyone has different preferences. Some people may like classic Sonic better, then there are some people may like modern Sonic better. I accept that fact. So stop making fun of my opinions or whoever’s opinions you disagree with.
And no, SEGA is not bringing back the old character designs back unless they want to. There is nothing wrong with the modern designs, and the truth is that SEGA has been using the ‘modern’ design for almost 12 years ago starting with the original Sonic Adventure game, which is far a longer time then they have been using the classic game or (barf) cartoon show designs, and the chances are, they might want to keep that design because it is the probably most familiar design for Sonic and company today. Saying that you want them to bring back the classic designs is like telling a professional artist to draw only stick figures like a little kid, and that doesn’t make sense to me. It is ‘common’ for artwork and characters to ‘evolve’. Stop whining like a 1 year old, and get over it.
Again I say: Don’t cuss.
@krazeeKidd102
I’m not a bad folk. Stop being so mean. And no, I’m not doing what Andre says because he’s a sick pig and I will never suffer or die despite what he wants me to. I have to ignore him from now on.
@soranamineforever
Complaining does not make things better. Fan feedback is nice, but no bugging about it. I may be sorry, but I find all of these complaints annoying.
I give up. You know what? You were right all along. You win. You FAIL SO FUCKING HARD that you win. There’s no way you can’t win, you’re right.
(EDIT – Inflammatory -T)
Ooohh aren’t you guys curious about WHAT exactly got edited out of my post above?
@Andre
LOL!
That is exactly true. Thank goodness for the last comment. I won, you lost!
This may be too late but:
@ Vulpine
You missed the point of sarcasm; you lost.
Also, complaining DOES make things better, which is why we give fan feedback. What DOESN’T is complaining about complaining, which is what you do. Simple, and in a nutshell. Have a nice day.
