The best Sonic game in 10 years

[jerry coeurl]

Elusive's Sonic Cycle:
First info released - fans immediately question WHY it's not S3&K in 2.5D like their fanfiction. Series is widely condemned as dead.
More screens, trailer released - fans immediately seize on freeze-frames of pre-production gameplay to explain exactly HOW it's not S3&K in 2.5D. Moans and howls of "I WON'T BUY IT, SEGA IS FUCKING US AGAIN" heard across the blogosphere. Fan-artists begin cranking out 'ironic' Rule 34 dreck, spurred on by 'ironic' requests by 'ironic' fans with 'ironic' senses of humor. Series is still widely condemned as dead.
Game released - fans all proclaim "WE TOLD YOU SO", sit back smugly, buy the game anyway and complain how it's not S3&K in 2.5D. Series is still widely condemned as dead; the game ends up in the 6-7 range on Metacritic anyway. And so the cycle continues...

I've never heard anyone complain that a new Sonic game isn't S3&K in 2.5D. Usually they just complain because it's fundamentally broken and not any fun to play. I'm pretty sure that furries are the only ones left who actually purchase the games, and it's not like their standards could be any lower anyway.

yep, pretty sure they couldn't.

Furry + that "being a baby" fetish?

Hope for humanity truly is lost.

Furries are the lowest spot on the nerd chain, right down there with lolicos.

oh no, true furries (the ones that actually get off to it) are right there next to pathological serial killers that make suits out of human skin. The anime nerd furries are certainly just horrendous losers, however.

How do all of these threads keep turning into furfag threads?

AIDS?

I think some people have confessions to make <_< >_>.

Diosoth is the only true furball here, and sadly, it seems he has pulled his site down between his outbursts of nerd-rage.
Will we ever get the opportunity to revel in his glorious prose again?
Will we ever hear more succulent stories about a promiscuous Rogue The Bat & himself on the internet?
Why do you deny us your fan fiction Diosoth? Why do you hate us, so?

"WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Metal_Sonic's dancing furry sig is confession enough.

So anime nerd furries don't actually get off to it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was the definition of a furry.

I think the reason Sega keeps churning these crappy Sonic games out is because there like the only ones that consistently sell a million units. Anything else and the masses simply ignore it. Sonic 2 which was the best selling Genesis game would come in at 5 under SF2 for the SNES. In fact Nintendo has never ever had this particular problem.

They are the media darlings.

SF2 = overrated

That game was overrated in 1992 and it still is 17 years later (because Capcom still makes the same game 17 years later).

Good to see I'm not the only person who noticed Street Fighter 4 was the SAME EXACT game as Street Fighter 2. I also love how some people who bitched about too many releases of SF 2 in the 90's bought SF 4 in a heartbeat.

Also that furry video made me feel depressed and even more like a loser just by watching it and while on the topic of that video; I want to buy an External Hard drive. Download that furry video to it. Then overhand-throw that hard drive into a river.

nope, just weird people. Weird, culturally devoid people that try to supplement their lack of any belonging with estranged Japanese anime weirdness. Again, its the anime FANS that killed anime for me, not that I would've watched most of it to begin with. The only anime I can actually enjoy are the ones that could just as easily be live action (Initial D, Wangan Midnight, and actually, they both have live action movies, lol).

SF II Turbo is the only version I really loved, all the rest had glaring problems:

SF II was slow and clunky
SF II CE was blatantly unbalanced
SF II Turbo/SCE was just plain awesome
Super SF II/Turbo was again unbalanced and offered nothing new and only killed what was good
SF III was too technical and all of the playable characters were fucking stupid
SF IV cheesed out everything that SF II Turbo had going for it and ruined it as a result

Therefore, everyone should play Fatal Fury 3/Real Bout/Mark of the Wolves
