I recently went surfing the web looking at stuff about sonic...noticing the many Fans and.....Non-fans of sonic then it came up: Sonic Fan characters are pointless. I'm sure there may be a good number of people who dislike fan characters here I'd like to discuss this subject and your views on this.
Well im glad Political Debate: Sonic the werehog is over... i couldn't understand some of your words up there...but anywho,after thinking over the whole sonic series i finally come to a conclusion that the true turning point for the series is....Multiple games when sonic's first series finished a number of Spin-offs were released this was generally turning point number one because sonic didn't have a good game for a good while. sonic climbed back up(turned back up again) with Sonic Adventure, gained many fans loss some. the SA2 and SA2B(i honestly dont remember the difference) brought in a new element to the series that no one had ever heard of: CHAOS CONTROL! this sparked a bunch of new fans to the series also brought Sonic's most powerful rival, Shadow, into existence. Sonic heroes Quenched the newly developed thirst for Shadow also bringing back one of the loved elements of the game: Metal Sonic. Sonic heroes certainly gained many fans. With the release of shadow the hedgehog everyone seem to frantically want to see the mysteries of this new character this boosted his fan base, but..... Original gamers and People who disagree with a sonic game rated over "E" Shunned the Idea of Guns & curse words used by sonic characters, fans are lost. That was the second turning point, even though shadow the hedgehog had many fans and it should be a good game people still hated this originality. But from then on.... turning points cannot be truely determined because the fan base has slightly decreased with each new game until... 3 games were presented: Sonic Unleashed, SatBK, and finally Sonic Chronicles(is that the title i cant quite remember) these games caused a slight rise and could be the next turning point depending n what Sega & Sonic Team has to follow them up.
No offense in anyway that's like telling us to donate money to Sega straight from our wallets... They could possibly take advantage of that and decide,"well players seem to like this crap so wy dont we keep on flingin it at them for all the money we can get." And we go into another gaming depression.......
Werehog was just another one of sonic signature things. if you hadn't noticed that werehog was created from ans most likely then your pretty oblivious. Werehog was most likely a response to the fans who wanted sonic to have a dark form, Thus Sega most likely created the werehog for this purpose. and just because one character and their controls doesn't agree with your standards try not to insult them it could cause an unneeded argument. if you don't like a character say it in a well mannered way like "I personally thought the werehog was a bad addition.." and then your reasons...
