Perhaps you diligently played through one of the games, only to find the ending to be a letdown. Perhaps you found a prototype of a game to have an interesting storyline and wanted that to be finished product instead. Perhaps you are a lore junkie and find glaring gaps from one game to the next. Or maybe perhaps you were left confused when a story was retconned in the next installment. Would you have wanted to make a change to one of these 'problems'? So, my fellow =SB= members, if you had the ability to go back and change a storyline, ending, character, or whatever what would you change and why? This discussion is intended for the games.

Actually, his cockiness was basically what indirectly caused his Werehog transformation, as I like to see it as.

Because a game that ERASES ITSELF is not a good game. Not to mention the ending makes no sense. How is Elise still the Princess, and if Solaris never existed wouldn't pretty much every character be changed? And what happened to Silver? All we see if Sonic (did he remember somehow) run by Elise, who feels a "famaliar" presence. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Sonic '06 is a special child. It's best to just leave it alone.

Alas, and it had such potential too. If more work had been put into it, it could have actually been among the better games in the series for storyline. It was really just wayyy too rushed, no thanks to Microsoft demanding that it be done by Christmas 2006. Of course, the fact that Sonic Unleashed's production started during Sonic '06's production probably didn't help much either.

Lava Reef Act 1 Posts: 2,605 Group: E Rank Legend Member #10,015 Joined: May 29, 2009	I just tend to look at '06 as the poor braindamaged child of the games who was doomed to be a failure before it was even born and everybody hates it for not living up to the standards it could never reach in the first place. Or something like that. I still had fun with it.

My! That's a pretty snazzy performance there! Posts: 451 Group: C Rank Knight Member #12,740 Joined: January 29, 2012 Xbox Live Gamertag: MysticShaid Wii Friend Code: I forgot...	Speaking of 06, could I have wanted to change it into a storyline that was at least tolerable? (Also I put in some spoilers to others who have not played Heroes or Generations.) Aside from *that* game, Heroes' story did not actually stand-out to me because it felt a little too basic and at some points predictable. It was basically either: defeat Eggman in 3 days, find answers, rescue 2 characters for the sake of rescuing them, and detective work in order to get paid. Spoiler: click to toggle And besides the fact that Metal Sonic appears throughout the story multiple times. It just did not feel fleshed out like it should. And Generations' story is the worse. (Summing it up: Random purple time eater is destroying the world. Who will save it? Sonic annnnnnnnnnnnnnd Sonic!) And that is it. It does not give any backstory as to where the Time Eater came from, Spoiler: click to toggle other than Eggman just randomly finding it in space. And I understand Generations was mainly about the gameplay, but it still was awful hearing the dialogue and watching the cutscenes in the game. Again, they should of flesh out the story more, but I won't bicker too much since it is a wonderful game.

On the topic of Heroes, you have your info on Dark Story slightly wrong. xD; See, really all it was, was Rouge dragging along Shadow and Omega in an alliance which is utterly pointless for them, but benefits Rouge because she's after Eggman's treasure. There's a bit of foreshadowing to Shadow the Hedgehog, Plot stuff; Don't open if you haven't played Heroes Dark Story what with the one broken Shadow Android they see part way through, and how the 'treasure' turns out to be a bunch more Shadow Androids. But, yeah. xD; Heroes isn't that great, in terms of plot.

It felt like it was finding answers (mainly for Shadow); I guess I should of described it better, sorry

'06's story was laughably bad, but you could tell that something was still there trying to be coherent. Heroes' story was so weak you could snap it like a twig. And Colors' and Generations' stories, as pointed out, were almost as bad as Heroes'.

But yeah, '06 even had enough plot that one could notice it. With Heroes... At best, I notice some foreshadowing to Shadow the Hedgehog, in Dark Story. xD;
