wake up
worthless selfbumb

WINNER!

what did you win user

How do you make those collages anway?

...

autism and lots of time

Out of curiosity what would sthg say is they're favorite ark post reboot for the archie comics for both main series and universe

>wake up
Dude, it's 2PM EST here. Everyone's at work. Learn to time zone.

>posting from work
>but apparently unable to create a new thread

ok

>Main series
Champions
>Universe
Eggman's Dozen

/sthg/, what is your worst case scenario for the next mainline sonic game?

>Main series
Champions

>Universe
WHY IS MY ISLAND SIDEWAYS The Echidna.
The one with Shadow and Knuckles fighting over the Master Emerald.

Knuckles post-reboot a best.

>Main series
Champions
>Universe
Eggman's Dozen

Sonic Adventure 3 is an MMORPG with 3 factions.
Hero Faction
Eggman Faction
G.U.N. Faction

I know it's 2 pm there when it's 9 pm here
why don't you do graveyard shift :^)

>Hero Faction
But Sonic can't be a faction by himself

They get overly ambitious again, resulting in a fucked up dev process when Sega execs remind them they had a deadline to meet.

Gotta say, I'm failing to see why this would necessarily be a bad thing. If you could elaborate?

Webber convinces Iizuka that the fans would really like it if the writer for the comics wrote the games. Iizuka then picks up some comics to see who the writer is and the first one he gets is written by Penders.

It's SA3
Written by P+G

Sonic Colors 3

Donut Steels
xXSh4d0daHedgegodXx
Soonic, Sonnik, Sonac..etc

Shadow the Hedgehog 2

>Donut Steels
And? It's an MMO. That's kind of the point.

Look, I know there's a bit of a taboo against fan characters, but you guys have to let that go. Ultimately, a silly recolor that someone made for their fanfic is harmless. Seriously, why are you so scared of OCs?

Worst case scenario is no games, only memes.

So what you're saying is that the worst case scenario is what's actually going to happen?

This desu.
Raving about fan characters is so 2009. Wish more people would come to terms with that.

youtube.com/watch?v=7X9akJt1OZ8

Which transformation sequence is the hypest?

Unleashed or Adventure 2.

Would you really enjoy a Sonic game with other random people playing the same game at the same time as you as you collect 7 discolored Fox butts for some NPC?

I really hate this general. I hate it, I hate it, HATE IT. Hate. Hate. Hate. HATE!!!!!

Isn't socialization also part of the point of MMOs?

Again, not really seeing your point here.

Well whatever then. It's just my opinion.

WHAT THE FUCK IS A SONIC

An online game would work if it was like XenoVerse instead of a typical MMO.

>socialising with hundreds of kids and autists flirting with each other as their OC's running around and being all *snuggles with paws*
>not your idea of hell

A miserable pile of secrets.

I have no idea. There are a millon bad scenarios, but I'm not sure what's the worst one. Probably them ditching Modern, or doing something really bad with him like a meme game or something like severely screwing up their personalities even more, or something completely boring. Or a redesign, oh god.

So yeah, I think I'm probably screwed, it's hard for at least one of those not to happen.

>Isn't that more or less what we do all the time in this general?
No. Not really

Not even close to what we do in here.

Socializing with hundreds of autists: yes
The other stuff: not do much

Advance or Dreamcast Adventure.

We'd need Sonic Colors 2 first... And considering Colors was the best of the boost trilogy...

>that denial
I dunno, between all the artist drama, shipping, waifu-fagging, and speculating on the characters' sexual habits...

And? State your point instead of trailing off like a narcoleptic retard.

Okay, I'm saying you're in denial about being exactly the same as the demographic you fear so much. You do the exact same shit, the only real difference being that lack of asterisks.

I'm also saying you're a bunch of pussies for crying bitch tears at the mere existing of OCs.

More classic sonic pandering

>wolf twins pendered

I'm still waiting on a new replacement pair of somewhat stacked twins whose potential isn't floundered before they begin, Flynn.

We are far from the same when it comes to execution and by "we" I mean the few people that do each of those things. I guess you forget that they get told to fuck off when they get out of line. Or maybe you're just confusing some /v/ threads for here. Either way you're wrong in at least one way or another.
You also seem to forget how cancerous OCs are to begin with. Most of the people here can barely stand the two made here even though they were made to be as inoffensive as possible with almost no personality or traits, much less a backstory.

...

What is Sonic Lost World?

You sure do protest alot for someone who claims to not do those things.

>Sonic Xenoverse
Is it bad that I want this?

>You also seem to forget how cancerous OCs are to begin with. Most of the people here can barely stand the two made here even though they were made to be as inoffensive as possible with almost no personality or traits, much less a backstory.
Again, I don't under stand this at all. Why are OCs bad?

You fucking me? Wisps doesn't make Lost World into Colors 2. Fuck, all games in the future are gonna have wisps dude, they're Sonic's fire flowers.

>You guys do X
>No we don't.
>BOY, YOU SURE ARE PROTESTING A LOT.

Considering it would be a Dimps Sonic game, I'd feel more bad for you getting your hypothetical hopes up.

And how does that in any way mean that what you say is correct? Are you perhaps retarded?
I'm not gonna spend all day sstating something that doesn't really need to be said but the gist is that they're detrimental to the fanbase of a franchise and generally leads to the growth of actual autists if left unchecked. See CWC.

Nah, that one guy's response was definitely way more than that.

>The Chaotix in

WHAT

IN WHAT

>they're Sonic's fire flowers
Oh jesus you're right

>I'm not gonna spend all day sstating something that doesn't really need to be said
great way to lead an argument there, chum

...

It really goes without being said at this point in time, user. If you don't understand why OCs are cancer, and this applies to any and all fanbases and franchises, then you were probably born in this century.

I feel like Iizuka explicitly made the comparison between Wisps and Mario power-ups in an interview once, though I might be imagining that.

>Why are OCs bad?
>Because I say so!

...

You have to be older than 18 to post here.

Yeah, still waiting for you to back that one up.

Says the guy sperging out over OCs.

>he gets mad about what other autists do in their free time

>>>/dA/
>>>/tumblr/

OCs in and of themselves don't have to be a bad thing, the reason why people hate OCs is because they are more often than not self-insert characters who exist so the creator can feel more important than established characters.

Bump and Sage are fine since they're basically just inoffensive mascots. SuperDude the HyperFoxDragon who's more powerful than Shadow and fucks all the hot girls is what people think of when they hate OCs.

>SuperDude the HyperFoxDragon who's more powerful than Shadow and fucks all the hot girls is what people think of when they hate OCs.
Doesn't help that 99% of OCs are exactly that.

They're fun to laugh at, who cares?

Why would GUN be separated from Hero?

Because I'm not an apathetic fag that doesn't care about the quality of the fanbase I'm in. The only time OCs are excusable are when actual thought is put into them or when actual kids make them.
Sonic 06 was fun to laugh at. Who cares that it was one of the worst games of that generation or that it finished turning Sonic into the laughing stock of the industry? It was just a prank, bro.

G.U.N has always been a separate faction in all media they feature in. They're more or less the Neutral to the FF's Good and Eggman's Evil.

G.U.N is always just looking out for their own territories, even if they'll occasionally help out Sonic and friends when it's practical.

I mean, I get your point about 06, but you take the fandom too seriously, bro.

Not really. I just think that people that find no problem whatsoever with OCs to be utter idiots that deserve to be made fun of and/or shit on.

That Eggman picture reminds me of a fan comics I read ages back. It was shit, but it went along the lines of World destroyed, Eggman, Knuckles and Amy team up with >Not Shadow I think, and then Sonic's dead and Eggman makes guns and shit.
Can't find it these days.

See, that kind of talk is exactly what I'm talking about. Fortunately I've got more Swatbots.

I must add however that most of the times OCs are for self insert. It's like when you create a character in Skyrim: 90% of the time you want to self insert in this world.

In my OP, the problem arrives as you said when they try to be better than the main characters (like if you made yourself richer than Bill Gates in Fimfiction) or uses them just to stroke your ego.

No amount of images will make you not an idiot.

He did. He stated that they were to help make Sonic's gameplay more unique. Mario has the Fire Flowers to slightly alter his gameplay, and Sonic has the Wisps.

>It's like when you create a character in Skyrim: 90% of the time you want to self insert in this world.
That's pretty much the entire point of an RPG.

When did G.U.N. act antagonistic to the FF?

Saw this request in the pastebin.

Which would also be the point of a MMORPG.

You besides the entirety of SA2?

They were only really after Sonic.

Hold on, let me help.

Seriously man chill out. If you're so insecure to where you think people who have different opinions than you are scum of the earth you need to step back and reexamine the situation.

Actually the point of a MMORPG is to waste the time of anyone that plays it, eat their wallet, and have no real substance.

And hired Rouge to spy and get intel on Eggman and Project Shadow.

SA2 was like the Sonic games dark age through. Nowhere close to the lighter hearted touch of the new universe.

Still fought against Tails and Knuckles.

>lighter-hearted touch

GUN and Kingdom of Acorn must have had some beef in the past.
King Acorn caught on before any serious damage was done but then Eggman was in charge of the place until Sonic took over the place and rescued King Acorn.

I'm guessing G.U.N. took a while to be convinced that "The furry king was duped and therefore please forgive the whole preparing for war" thing.

While roleplaying.
