Mine's Saints Row 2, unless you mean Sonic games. Then Generations.
Easton Edwards
Jet Set Radio Future is the greatest 3D Sonic game.
Nathaniel Russell
Dark Souls 1
David Barnes
Sonic rush is the best modern Jet Set Radio game.
Austin Richardson
Funny enough my favourite game in general is SA2B
Chase Thompson
Give me ONE(1) character that can defeat Hazama/Terumi.
Charles Price
Doom
Luke Gomez
God Hand. The combat is something that I don't expect to be surpassed in my lifetime.
Anthony Campbell
3&K. I know, I'm vanilla as fuck.
Parker Harris
Sonic stared at the sun too long.
Jordan Wilson
It's Eggman. Because he's fat.
Ian Nguyen
Y'all be good now
Angel Kelly
For Sonic? I'm not sure
My ideal game is probably somewhere between Lost Word and Generations
Andrew Foster
Playing Sonic Dash and loving it. It's like Pepsiman, but lewd.
Too bad it's just the same stage all the time and the same two bosses doing the same pattern of attacks.
Amy pantsu shots are the best thing of the game.
Kayden Roberts
Blaze the Cat

James Myers
Was this made back when people thought the photoshopped Rayman "leak" for Sm4sh was real?
I wish it was real, but I was savvy enough at the time to realize it could easily have been a photoshop.
Justin Gray
Agreed. It's one of the big reasons the comic is shit. It focuses on characters and has entire arcs dedicated to non game characters and in a comic about a video game franchise that's retarded
Colton Reyes
Hottest pussy.
Matthew Taylor

Blake Parker
Favorite Sonic game? Sonic CD.
Favorite game overall? Zone of the Enders The 2nd Runner.
Christian Scott
I love how Orbot and Cubot basically became the Scratch and Grounder of main series Robotnik. I have no idea what he even keeps them around for.
Christopher Sullivan
I found this really interesting video about Sonic's Gameplay and how you need it can be fixed. Trust me, it's far more watchable than that Indy Australian guys video.
They seem to be servants/secretaries in the Archie comics
Henry Gomez
>I have no idea what he even keeps them around for. To talk to.
Carson Phillips
Sonic game: Sonic Generations Others: Doom, Half Life, and Killer 7
Hunter Cox
Sonic 3 & Knuckles. That was also my first sonic game.
Jason Rogers
ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL!
Andrew Wood
Sonic: SA2B General: Tie between Mario Galaxy and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Charles Kelly
For the user who asked for Sonic and Kitty. Got bigger than expected.
Sebastian Gutierrez
>Do you do commissions? Yes, but I'm WAY behind. Like I've got several I've hardly started on.
Nicholas Thompson
The cutest!
Justin Davis
There could never be anything more pure. I'm caught between the romantic softie in me and the part of me that wants to see lewd kitties and Gratuitous upskirts.
Carter Rivera
I'm happy this is a thing.
Charles Phillips
Gotta draw fast
Brayden Wood
I'm not sure I fully agree with this since I think the adventure games control perfectly but is a decent concept and I think is a good way of implementing platforming in the boost formula. With that said I disagree with the arcade like scoring system since it ignores the fact that collecting goodies via nonlinear game design gives sonic the bulk of his replayabilty and pushes forward what I would argue is an inferior form of skill mastery
Dominic Ortiz

Romantic lewd is best lewd.

Here's a question. Throughout the many media adaptations and writers of sonic, the character has a lot of somewhat different interpretations. Despite having a definite personality, a lot is still left up to interpretation.
So, what are your personal interpretations of some of the sonic characters, or maybe just head canons that you'd use if you were writing him.
Sonic: Free and easygoing. Doesn't really hang out with people unless they go out of their way to find him. Tends to be closest to people who can keep up with him like Tails and Knuckles. Hates obligations that trap him like relationships or schedules, but has a strong sense of duty to defend the helpless.
Knuckles: Didn't really interact with anyone until Robotnik and Sonic came along. He simply understood his duty since childhood and protected the Master Emerald, which is why he's a bit naive and gullible.
Amy: Has surprising strength and speed for a girl her age, although being slower than sonic and weaker than knuckles, it's still quite a bit greater than one would expect. Prefers to avoid rolling into a ball because it messes up her quills and appearance which she keeps under strict maintenance. Not quite the person to throw the first punch but will definitely push back if you put pressure on her or are unlucky enough to tick her off.
Sebastian Baker
Sheesh Gold. Your Amy's eyeshadow and smug sharp-toothed grin is HOT.
Tyler Baker

Brayden Williams
should i read the comic if I had a crush on her from the cartoon as a small babychild who didn't know what kind of deep shit he was getting himself into
Jose Ortiz
Egg Bosses in swimsuits when?
Jeremiah Powell
Well her personality hasn't changed much so maybe. She's mostly a side a character though
Ayden Edwards
Well, she's married to Antoine now. I don't know if that will help or hurt your fictional crushing.
Xavier Rogers
Seems like fun. Might as well throw one in
Shadow: Very reserved, almost stoic. Takes things very seriously and can be seen as blunt. Prefers to keep to himself but does appreciate the company of characters like Rouge and Omega, who he has immense trust in. Very strong sense of justice like Sonic. Speaking of Sonic, he isn't too fond of him but holds a great respect for the hedgehog and is somewhat jealous of his freedom and carefree attitude. He isn't very emotionally open but he isn't robotic. He feels emotions like happiness, sadness, disappointment, and so on, but they're very subdued and only people who really know him can pick up on them. Has a small fear of being controlled and manipulated, which leads to trust issues and makes it hard for him to have faith in others. Despite how much of a loner Shadow can be, he still does appreciate having others around, and fears the day that he outlives everyone he knows
Yes. It's pretty good stuff and while Bunnie doesn't get as much page time as other characters, the page time she does get is generally good and stories about her (like Thicker than Water) range from good to great, though they are rare
Daniel Ortiz
Metal Sonic is best character.
Joseph Hughes
I know know how anyone could like Antoine, he always reminded me of a fuccboi version of Don Karnage from Tail Spin
Evan Hill
>Doesn't really hang out with people unless they go out of their way to find him I see him as the opposite, someone that will be friends with as many people as possible. Sure he has a closer inner circle and he can be a snarky ass sometimes, but he knows the best adventure is one shared with friends.
Jaxon Rodriguez
I really can't get over how simple is japanese comedy.
Lucas Davis
Those teeth are brutal
Ian King
>four fingers >cankles Gross
Thomas Ortiz
The reason I feel that way personally is because 1. So many games that begin with a "Long time, no see" or a "We've got to find, sonic" scene. 2. The fact that there's a lot of games where sonic is traveling around without tails, or if tails is there, his other friends hang back while Tails follows him. Ie. Tails seeks him out.
It's less that sonic's anti-social. More that he's not a real "Hang out with a bunch of friends all the time" kind of guy. He goes off and does his own thing and his friends are kind of a happy change of pace. In my opinion anyway.
Christopher Jones
Do you really want to see Wendy Witchcart in a two piece?
So what happened? SEGA hired us to produce the #Sonic25th live stream. My team worked tirelessly for over a month on it
(Working for SEGA is a dream gig for us, big Sonic fans)
Day of show, lots of weird issues. Rental house didn't give us a lens. 300ft wireless working at
Jordan King
Then after ALL THAT, our host still comes back on screen to finish the show, and gives birth to the #StuffedNachos Totino's Pope meme
We actually made it from intro to credits without stopping. I couldn't believe it
So yeah, it was intense dealing all that when I knew 50,000 people were watching
But I think given the circumstances, we all made the right choices and minimized the degree of failure as much we could
Nonetheless, the mission was a failure. A lot of hard work wasted. But oh boy will I learn from it, and what a great story too
[...]
I want to add that I chose to kill crowd mics while isolating audio issues. People _were_ singing along to @Crush40. The crowd was ballistic
Adrian Morales

Jack Torres

What
Also, glad to see the event itself went off well, though crazy, and people there enjoyed it.
Hope Aaron's girlfriend is alright.
Should we make a dumb, embarrassing Iwata card for her?
Aaron Morgan
jim sterling is a piece of shit
Colton Moore
If that's the price I have to pay to see Clove's mecha legs.
Eli Taylor
I don't think it was Aaron that was doing the Totino's stuff, was it? Maybe it was the other dude.
Justin Morris
Sounds like an unfortunate mess all around.
Noah Miller
He got better in the Archie comic. He became less and less of a coward and prick as the book went on, with his father's last words telling him that he was proud of him. He eventually worked up the courage to propose to Bunnie, they got hitched, and then he later sacrificed himself to protect Elias from an exploding Metal Sonic. Ian planned to have him die in his coma in issue #237, but (apparently) the fans ended up saving him, so he stayed comatose until the reboot, where he was perfectly healthy (albeit severely freaked out by experiencing his pre-reboot self's memories of nearly getting killed).
Post-reboot, he's part of an exchange program between Mobotropolis and his home country, and ended up becoming Sally's personal bodyguard. He's still married to Bunnie post-reboot, and is generally less cowardly (or perhaps he knows how to manage his fears better) than he was pre-reboot.
Elijah Clark
Yes. Definitely.
Joseph Mitchell
Only if Cassia gets to wear one.
Evan Ramirez
He'll always be a piece of shit.
He's profiting right now over shenanigans caused by an accident that hospitalized someone.
Isaiah Green
But what if some of us want to see Cassia's robo legs?
Josiah Russell
Glad I wasn't the only one who thinks that he's a snobbish asshole on his high horse for way too long. Even CinemaSnob is more bearable and being snobby is his gig.
Gabriel Gomez
cinema snob is a character based on Rodger Ebert, Brad Jones is actually really chill 99% of the time
Jim Sterling isn't a character, he might play it up in the videos but if you listen to his podcast he's actually like that. Typical "if you don't agree with me you're a cretin and not worth debating" mentality. Basically the same thing /v/ does but from a different angle
Zachary Howard
Checked off the wall. Best and most fitting girl to boot.

I think Clove has white underfur though. You can see it on her tail in official art. Still though, nice unf'ng job.
Parker Morris
Egg Boss beach party when? I wanna see Abyss and Nephthys in swimwear too.
Christopher Ward

Evan Wood
>Nepthys
You just know her body is all scarred and fucked up like pic related
Xavier King
Sonic fans are the worst.
How is Mania not met with just outright joy?
Ian Flynn showed that fans of Sonic are what's needed to revitalize all things Sonic. The only limit is their skill, which needs to be farmed up over some years. Sega should consider doing this for 3D modellers, animators, coders and the like.
Brandon Howard
Anyone who doesn't think Mania is the tightest shit should fuck off forever.
Michael Moore
Nice fourze image
Caleb Morgan
user please. My penis can only get so hard.
Leo Ross
Sonic fans can truly be the worst sometimes. Everyone seems to have a different idea of what a Sonic game 'should' be, and if the next game to come out doesn't fit that idea, it's automatically trash.
I'm personally reserved for the idea of Sonic Mania - Taxman and his team have done some really good work in the past with remastering games, but there's a difference between polishing an existing product and in creating an entirely new one. Even with Sega's backing, the team may not have what it takes to recreate a 'classic-feeling' Sonic game, even with their promises to remain faithful to the original physics and play-style of the series. That said, I'm sure the game will still be enjoyable enough regardless.
Sonic 2017, on the other hand, is being produced with a larger and more experienced team, functioning with a much higher budget and a broader understanding of what made their previous work sell so well, so I have no doubts that it'll be fun to play.
Jordan Miller
>Make the best, most universally acclaimed Sonic game (announcement) in years >Still get shit all over by disagreeable fans Being Taxman and Stealth must be suffering
At least (most of) their own kind appreciates their endeavors.
Ryan Robinson
Is there anyone who worked on Sonic 1 still apart of Sonic Team?
Julian Hughes
Pretty sure her eyes and ears are the only robotic parts of her body.
Eli Morris
I wish I hadn't seen this. I was over this for the most part, and now I don't even have someone I can blame too much after reading this. It pains me that it was a great party and I enjoyed it so much, but we waited so long for it and it could have been so much better if things worked out as they were planned. To make things worse, it's certain that there isn't going to be a Sonic party like this one ever again.
feels bad man
Adrian Morgan
I'd say it's the other way around.
Taxman, Stealth and squad have worked on these projects before to critical acclaim and know what they're doing. Everything we've seen, heard and, in some cases, played of Mania confirms it's all going in the right direction.
2017, however, could be anything. Sonic Team are mostly unreliable in what they'll actually put out. It could be Generations 2. It could have a dumb werehog-esque gimmick. It could be something completely different. There's absolutely no way of knowing and that's worrying.
Noah Flores
What about Thunderbolt and Conquering Storm?
Henry Morgan
Do you want an honest answer to that?
Jack Moore
Just want to say that the constant #1s are what turn me off from getting into Marvel & DC. Essentially telling me, "you don't need to care about the current story, because we're just gonna reboot it in a couple years anyway for a quick boost." Why should I get invested?
I honestly feel like Sonic should never, ever, do a restart to a new #1. Keep that record going.
Cooper Gonzalez
This bothers me and I'm not even such a fan of the Classics.
Grayson Perry
But you don't need to care about like 200 chapters of the comic. It literally got rebooted but just keept the number.
