What went wrong?

Remember when the CG renders actually used dynamic posing to maximize soul?

Nothing. Sonic should be light hearted and silly.

Make it serious and you get garbage, like most of the cartoons, 06, Shadow, and Forces.

Why are Sonic fans obsessed with Egoraptor

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle? A fine game indeed, but I believe you actually meant to type Sonic Unleashed, which is STILL the best 3D Sonic.

>exhilirating day missions that reward skill and replay with incredible speed and scenery
>cool night stages that combine good old acrobatic 3D platforming with satisfying and tactile combat that evolves as you play
>detailed hub worlds with fleshed out NPCs who all have their own little stories to follow and side quests to tackle
>story that nails the perfect balance between Colors' lightheartedness and Shadow's tryhard edge and is consequently one of the best plots in the series
>amazing visuals that have yet to be surpassed over a decade later
>kickass music and charming sound design (stand near buildings to hear what's going on inside them)
>a metric fuckton of content and collectibles
>hasn't been ruined with endless ports and so is ripe for a truly special remaster

It was soul incarnate and will never be topped.

Because Arin fucking depises modern Sonic. He basically kickstarted " Hating Sonic is cool" hating train similar to how Jontron started the Banjo and Koozie craze.

>defending Pontaff

He played through all of Forces without saying it was literally Hitler and Stalin combined.

>cool night stages
stopped reading

You could genuinely only believe this if you're underage. The fucking game grumps did not pioneer shitting on sonic. If is a time-honored tradition older than you.

Still better than "tortured for six months". Or whatever this bullshit is.

I distinctly remember sonic hating being a pretty common thing even pre-game grumps

Sonic, especially 3D Sonic, always had plenty of hate before anybody knew who the fuck he was. But given the e-celeb cult-of-personality shit that we have going on these days, I can totally believe that he's influenced a younger generation of dipshits that just parrot whatever he says.

They never forgave him for never finishing 06.

Those games had plenty of silly moments though and I'm sure you could fine more "serious" lines of dialouge in modern games too. This seems seriously cherrypicked to a weird degree

God damn that's some Winnie the Pooh levels of savagery.

there were literally 3 cartoons and a comic series you dumb cunt faggot

Arin repeatedly shits on the franchise, saying shit like Sonic Adventure being worse than Sonic Boom and the like. Sonic's PR responds with cupcakes and trips to SEGA of Japan.

You want to hear something funny? There are people in these threads that claim Forces wasn't serious ENOUGH. That Sonic wasn't affected by being captured. Like what the fuck do you want? Sonic to get PTSD or some shit? He's an upbeat cocky fucker, and it's perfectly in character for him to just shrug off this kind of thing. And let's not forget that SA2 Sonic bounced back pretty quickly from near death with virtually no lasting effects too. But yeah, despite the fact that Eggman literally takes over the world, despite the fact Infinite as a character just... exists, people here insist that Forces' plot wasn't "serious." It's utterly baffling why people need to invent reasons to shit on Forces when there are plenty of legitimate ones already.

Arin lost any and all credibility as a person who plays video games when he shit all over OoT because the bats were too hard and he didn't know how to swordfight.
Even worse when he ragequit Majora's Mask because he couldn't figure out how to beat a boss that Darksyde fucking Phil wiped out in seconds.

>trips to SEGA of Japan.
The fact that I don't even find this hard to believe worries me. That's disgusting.

>tortured for six months
Fun fact, Pontaff actually added that in when they were localizing the script. Not to say that Forces' story was good by ANY means, but they managed to make it even worse.

>There are people in these threads that claim Forces wasn't serious ENOUGH.
Yes, mostly people that grew up on SatAM and think Sonic needs to be this gritty war story with high stakes.

SatAM was a mistake.

Sonic was never good.

It's absolutely cherrypicked. TripleQ made a rebuttal image that did exactly what you just said and it made /sthg/ seethe because A) it threw a wrench in their "Modern Sonic is just dumb memes 24/7" narrative and B) it was made by an evil e-celeb, and as we all know they are out to get us as Sonic fans.

I just did what everybody else did and got Mania instead.

Cry more, Rodent.

He says "yes" on CD

Wanting Sonic to be serious is like wanting Mario to be serious, why would you want that?

This is great. These tweets would only upset me if I was moderately autistic.

>The fact that I don't even find this hard to believe worries me. That's disgusting.
Well it's right there in the link I posted. Or if you don't want to wade through all that trash:

They've even got it on YouTube!

Arin later on in a mario maker episode admits that he doesn't like the ocerina of time sequelites and admits he was kind of wrong, I can't find the episode though.

>can't say anything bad about OoT without being called an underage bab that watched egoraptor, even though I don't even agree with most of his points AND played it before GG was even founded, let alone his OoT sequelitis

Why wouldn't I? I've already seen lighthearted examples of both.
