how would you feel if Unleashed 2 was just World Adventure (i.e. w/out the werehog)
Lincoln Stewart
I don't understand why the werehog's design is/was so hated. It doesn't stray that far from Sonic's base design and it's not like cartoon characters have never worn Halloween costumes.
Carson Kelly
because 06
Levi Barnes
The design itself wasn't hated as much as people though Sonic turning into a werewolf was a dumb concept, and the gameplay was ass.
If it's going to be a boost game I'd rather they bring Blaze back and make a Sonic Rush 3.
Liam Moore
This
The only flaw was that the moveset was locked behind exp. The werehog plays great once you have it.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone hate on the Werehog design. People have problems with the gameplay.
Camden Brown
Can you post the translated Storm one? I don't think it was posted here.
Also is that a dark chao on the back? Want.
Josiah Clark
Are you kidding? That's like, 90% of the hate that I see. If you do find someone who has specific gripes with the gameplay, their general response when you press them on it is "Well, if it was knuckles, it would have been okay"
Jose Ortiz
You must be browsing the wrong places.
Ryan Ross
This entire thread is proving you wrong.
Julian Adams
Go to literally any place besides a sonic related forum. Of course sonicfags like us are going to be alright with the design choices, it's been 8 years and we're still fans.
Brayden Perez
alot of fake shadow fans last thread
Brayden Jackson
Most people dislike the concept of the werehog, not the actual design.
Asher Hill
Madman
Camden Gonzalez
It's not the design; it's the idea and how it was implemented. People say Knuckles would be good for it not because they dislike the werehog's design, but because Knuckles makes sense as a character that would have that kind of brawler gameplay.
Adrian Wood
I unironically think Jason Griffith is the best Sonic voice we've had and I really miss him. Roger Craig's voice just sounds so nasally and sarcastic and even though he's been around for a couple years I still can't get used to it.
Brody Gonzalez
Implementation is part of design. Go ask Yoko Taro about that.
Isaiah Moore
I SEE NO HEAR NO EVIL
Ayden Martinez
It makes me sad thinking about how neglected Knuckles has been lately. These three work so well together and it feels lonely with just Sonic and Tails all the time. We need Knux there to balance the team out.
Dylan Ross
In this context by "design" we mean how the character looks, not their gameplay.
Joshua Jackson
Luckily for you, he's on Mania.
Adam Morales
yes and I'm very excited about that. But the chances of him being at all relevant in a main 3D title are very low.
Kevin Martin
To be honest, I never really cared for the Sonic, Tails & Knuckles team. I personally think Knuckles works better on his own.
That being said, it is stupid just how underused Knuckles, Amy, Blaze, & pretty much every character not named Sonic, Tails & Eggman have been in the 3D games.
Cameron Ward
What do you mean
Ian Ward
Not to mention, I think Sonic Tails & Amy make more sense as a trios team than Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles.
Aiden Price
>Blaze Please look forward to Sonic Rush World in the year 2420.
Easton Richardson
But how the character looks informs opinions on gameplay. Because it's a wolf sonic, people were extra critical of gameplay that a character designed off the base of knuckles would have.
Luke Roberts
I think Knuckles works well with Sonic and Tails, but he'd work better as the head of his own side-series and it's so disappointing that Sega never got fully into that the way Nintendo did with Donkey Kong, Yoshi and Wario.
Blake Clark
This might be an unpopular opinion but I kinda miss the serious plots in Sonic games. Back then I actually cared about the characters and what was going on in the story. That's not to say having a lighthearted story is bad, but the recent games' plots have just been so unfunny and dull that I can't bring myself to care about what's happening anymore.
David Taylor
No, the gameplay was ass and would've remained ass had Knuckles been playable. At best the only changes would be lack of stretchy arms and addition of climbing and gliding, with the latter mitigating how bad the platforming is.
Blake Martinez
>it's so disappointing that Sega never got fully into that the way Nintendo did with Donkey Kong, Yoshi and Wario.
I think the only reason why we never got, & will never get a Knuckles, Blaze, Rouge, Amy, Chaotix, etc. spin off games is because of Shadow The Hedgehog.
And not to mention, some people can't look at Sonic friends without instantly sperging out.
Hudson Taylor
>his own side-series but user, you have the Penders comics! Aren't those enough for you? :^)
David Watson
Tails and Knuckles got their own spin-offs, the problem is they were confined to the Game Gear and 32X respectively.
Joshua Bell
>because of Shadow The Hedgehog. I forget where I heard this rumor but apparently before Shadow came out SEGA had a poll asking fans which character they'd want to have their own game, and Knuckles was beat by Shadow.
Luke King
ALL HAIL SHADOW
Samuel Hill
I'm not sure Sonic's friends are popular enough for their own spin-off games.
Xavier Torres
I love you
Nolan Nelson
Same here. Thankfully the comics have been helping to fill that void. The recent games have just made 0 attempt at making something where I can even remotely care about what's going on That's Knuckles in Name Only I just realized what the acronym for that is How many people gave a shit about Wario before he got a spin off?
Robert Richardson
I think they would. Not multi-million super hits, but popular enough if they start small and build up.
Brandon Green
I only like his take in the Boom cartoon. Colors, Generations, and (especially) Lost World was quite annoying at times
Elijah Perry
>Not Sonic Rush Burning Soles cmon fampire.
Brandon Adams
Someone in /v/ said that Miyamoto don't care about characters he didn't create, but Wario somehow able to get his games
Jaxson Myers
>Not multi-million super hits If it's not that, then it's not worth the money to SEGA.
Cameron Wood
*As a matter of fact, he probably wouldn't even let Rosalina be in any more games, besides the Galaxy games, if she wasn't so popular
Parker Gray
It was a huge mistake asking what the Japanese fans wanted. 95% of Sonic's player base was western at the time, and now even less Japs are buying Sonic.
Cooper Cruz
>wash your hands before eating He wears gloves, though.
Joshua Collins
Sonic Battle sequel when?
Lincoln Williams
Wario started out in the Mario Land games, which weren't a Miyamoto project. Wario was able to succeed by taking over the Mario Land series in 3.
Aiden Fisher
>Omochao is a strange robot, there are a lot of them, they can appear anywhere and anytime. Its entire being is a complete mystery. No one knows who, when, where, or how it was made. One thing’s for sure, it’s not Dr. Eggman’s.
Well, /sthg/, looks like it's up to you to figure out the mystery of Omochao.
Jacob Torres
good lord this squirrel will be the end of me It was Geralds greatest creation when he was locked up. that tape was for Omochao, not the Biolizard.
Nolan Powell
It was made by the developers.
Lincoln Harris
...
Jonathan Morales
Seeing as GUN has researched and utilized Chaos, It doesn't seem too odd to say they made it. Maybe as some sort of psychological weapon?
Cooper Brooks
So serious question in regards to this. Would Boom be better off being on Disney XD or Netflix?
Wyatt Walker
>Yfw it's the reason Nigel is so fucking angry at the old GUN regime
Alexander Cook
Does Netflix have running kids cartoons they air exclusively? Do they do well?
William Powell
I still don't understand why they were so low. The show was never very advertised, and it used to have a terrible slot on CN too for the first season. Why was that episode's rating so low?
Oliver Turner
I assume not many have Boomerang.
Jaxson Hall
This is great.
Owen Wood
>Rosalina in more games FUCK
Noah Murphy
Metal Sonic is never getting a comic, is he?
Bentley Russell
I have DirectTV and I have the most basic program package. I don't get Boomerrang. Don't get Disney XD either.
Matthew James
And that's what Sega's main issue is. All the games need to be is profitable. Get a relatively small team to focus on making a solid game with distinct gameplay and good fundamentals, then build on that foundation is bigger and bigger ways for sequels as the brand itself is built up bigger and bigger.
Austin Allen
There's another Madagascar spin-off called King Julien. The show is already on season 3 and seems to be funny and well-written. Not sure what to say about Skylander Academy, though.
Easton Ross
>squirrel You mean chipmunk
Jaxson Flores

Jayden Taylor
whatever she is its diamond
William Collins
>Rosalina be in any more games* *codename for "you're going to be stuck in spinoff/cameo purgatory forever, bitch"
Jack Wood
oh good, that makes me feel better
I agree
Luis Lopez
Have you seen much of the Mario spin-off games lately? She's basically part of the main cast of Mario characters just like how you would say with Silver being part of main cast of Sonic characters.
Adrian Parker
Yeah and the fact that Nintendo acknowledges her even more than Wario shows how much they care
